The 99 Ford Mustang is now looking great on the outside with
its new wheels, tires, hood, and paint job. Now the drive train needs some
addressing. Since my 99 Ford Mustang is going against a ¼ million dollar car
the chassis and suspension are both going to need to be improved. Along with a
fire breathing v8 that is going underneath the hood. First of the chassis would
need to have a roll bar of some kind installed because of the massive torque
this car will be producing. So a roll cage fabrication I would estimate to be
in the 2000 dollar range. Then the car will need all new suspension so I chose
the ride tech level 2 suspension system which should offer greater handling and
increased adjustments. The next thing that needs to be addressed since our
Mustang is now handling well. First we need a good rear end so I went with the
Moser Engineering M9 muscle pak rear end. For the transmission I used a G Force
Street 6 speed. Prices so far suspension
$5500, rear end $4500, transmission $4000. Bringing the total for the car
without interior and motor at $28000. Finally for the motor which is the best
part of any car, I chose the BennetRacing 400 ci Ford motor producing 930hp.
This motor making that kind of power should be more than enough to chase down
the Equus Bass and also the reason I spend a substantial amount of money on
traction. BennetRacing does not have a price on this motor but one could only
assume the motor to be upwards of $35000. The last thing to do to the car would
be install a descent interior while removing the rear seats and installing a
couple of big sub woofers and amplifiers. This 99 Ford Mustang cost me an
estimated $70000. As you can see the ¼ million dollar price tag looks a little
far fetched now…
