I'll join in, with an M3.

 

Good car to put the Mustang on? The Mustang of course! Just throw a stage one kit on it.

[:)]

I will join :) Just let me know when.

 

And I will show in an M3 :)

The Saleen Mustang would probably work for the Mustang - but that is confusing with the whole "Extreme/Supercharged/Blah." If you made it the top version of the S281 Coupe, it'd probably be easier to remember.

Lol the new Mustang GT is a lot better than the old one. I thought just for this cruise it could go on something a little more powerful. I'm thinking maybe the CLS, SLK, XLR, or CTS.

Yeah that Extreme/Supercharged/whatever the last one is thing confuses me sometimes. I remember once while installing a mod I thought was going to replace the Extreme actually replaced on one of the others, and I thought I did something wrong. :P

[Revan174]

EDIT: I think I'll put the Mustang on the S281 Supercharged Coupe (the class D mustang, or level 2 Saleen mustang), for rpm/rev limiter realism, and closest performance to the Mustang without going balls-out 180 mph (like the S281 Extreme) or too slow (like the S281 3 Valve, slowest tuned mustang).

 

But I won't do that until the day of the cruise, since I'd have to change the rims and there's only 1 rim file for all 6 Saleen Mustangs. And I still like to drive my Extreme Coupe ;)

 

Still not sure if i will... what do you think?

[zo6dude]

Glad to see someone else using my template :p I'll come in some kind of Mustang as it looks like there will be a lot of M3's.

[killalldude]

Updated list and date.

 

@Revan174: Yeah I was considering using the Stage II Saleen Mustang for this cruise. I read somewhere that the rim size will become smaller if you use change the wheel when you buy the car stock from the Ford Dealer.

Sounds like fun ill go in the M3.:)

Buy a stock Mustang with the first rim option, this will allow you to have the nicer chrome rims, choosing any other rim option will make it a small size rim when you tune it to a Saleen. I think I can make it. I'll take some sort of Mustang like I said in my last post.

[killalldude]

Updated Time.

 

Please make sure that you install your Mustang on the Saleen S218 Superchaged (the Stage 2 tuning for the Saleen Mustangs). If you're going to bring a Mustang, please make sure you have it on the car specified above.

aww september 12?:( Sorry dude i wont be able to make it...

Yea idk either... I might have a lot of work that day. :(

[Dan G]

Oh gawd not THAT comparison, I actually got into an argument with some silly Amercians on youtube about which of these 2 is best. I don't care how quick that Mustang is, in the M3 your paying for the quality, the 'Stang will be bad quality, Im not open for discussion :P

[killalldude]

Im not open for discussion :P

 

Yup, and this ain't the place for it ;)

[zo6dude]

You can't compare the two, two different price ranges... Its just Motor Trend trying to get people to read their crappy magazine. I don't think I'll be able to make this Sunday... but keep me on anyway.

[killalldude]

Hmm if so many people can't come I might have to reschedule it then. Anybody want to give me some dates their free?

[zo6dude]

I don't know thats the problem, I don't know if I'm taking a trip some where, hanging with friends/family, etc. so it's always hard for me to make a date, not to mention work and other things...

[Revan174]

The 18th-19th could work for me, but I dunno which day would work better. Probably the 18th :)

[killalldude]

Okay, I've changed the date because many couldn't turn up and I myself would have some difficulty making it tomorrow. Anyways, the new date will not be pushed back. However, time is subject to change.

[IDprofile]

I'll try to make it in a Mustang

[Revan174]

I'm not sure if i can make the 18th, since the Super Sedan Run is that day.

 

Can you change it again? :(

[killalldude]

I'm actually free on Saturday so no :(. Hopefully zo6dude will time his cruise in a way such that we can attend both :)

 

I've changed the time to 9:00 AM EST.

[Revan174]

Well z06 had to cancel the Sedan cruise for now since his computer went boom.

 

So later in the day perhaps on Saturday?

9:00 am is early for me :sulk:

Most of the people here I believe it would be like 13:00 for them if it's 9:00 EST, so it can't be very late. And I prefer to cruise in the morning
