    Brings back so many memories of me riding with my older brother in his sparkle blue 65 Mustang. It sounded so much like this, and he drove fast. I love Mustangs to this day! IMO nothing can beat that sound. It’s music to my ears.

I did lose about 20 MPH top speed with that particular setup though. Top speed before the 3.55 swap was 135-140 MPH and top speed after the swap was 110-115 MPH. Although now that I have taller rear tires and a more powerful engine that turns about 500 more RPM the same gear tops out around 130-135 MPH.
