shelbymotorsports Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Pretty cool seeing what the different color cars look like with the Terlingua package. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchGT500 Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Guys, I never heard of a 3.45 gearset for 8.8. Isn't that a 7.5 inch rear? Is it a mistake and should it be 3.55? A V6 has 3.31 standard. What about the 3.73? I think this would be the perfect performance gear for the Terlingua. What would you all do? I heard price for the 3.73 option is $2900. The polished SC is $384 and seat covers are $1299. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
check6 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 No wheels and tires listed in base package??? No cold air kit??? No computer reprogramming? Just more money for less? Hummmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertlane Posted November 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Interesting, it says front or rear seat covers....is there a pic of those? The first set are being made right now. I will post the picture as soon as it's approved from design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPRSNK Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I still want the seats. Sell them as an aftermarket add on. Ship them to us and let us install them. Would be no different than any other seat for racing. :beatdeadhorse: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprint200 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 No wheels and tires listed in base package??? No cold air kit??? No computer reprogramming? Just more money for less? Hummmmm I'm pretty sure there is more than one error on this brochure. As Patrick pointed out, what is a 3.45 gear? The previous brochure showed NO update to the rear end on the base package. The base model never had the side exhaust? (& with the clearance issues I wouldn't want them on a street car) Hopefully the omissions noted are also errors..................

DutchGT500 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 The V6 has the 3.31 7.5 inch rear end standard so I think it is only a gear upgrade to 3.45. The 3.73 is a complete axle swap with a 8.8 inch rear end. A lot stouter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPRSNK Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 My Terlingua has the 3.73 gearing, but I paid for the new 8.8" axle as well. We'll see how long it lasts before I kill it This is why at Terlingua I wasn't running my car that hard. If ya all saw what I put my car through now, most of you would scream Let's just say that the Terlingua can drift quite nicely when you come into a corner a bit hot and miss your line. I hear that the 9" rear is bullet proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(& with the clearance issues I wouldn't want them on a street car) Hopefully the omissions noted are also errors.................. Completely agree with this too. Really want the rear dual exhaust setup, not side pipes. I've already put a $6k deposit down on the base package and would like to know exactly what I'm buying. Still planning on going forward with the build, but hope that this gets cleared up soon. Also noticed some adds, listing a "CS6 front fascia" instead of just adding a spoiler to the standard V6 front. Now has quarter window block off, (which we didn't want--young driver can use all the visibility available), and side scoops which we had already requested as an extra. And what's going on with the wheels/tires? Do I now have to order them as a seperate upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circleofsnakes Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 I really like the way the car looks in white. I may consider the base package for my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blip Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Just talked with Tasca contact and 18" wheels/tires are still on his list. (Hope this is correct.) Also the Pony Grill package is not, looks like the Base gets the very same front end as Performance. He confirmed the switch to side exhaust, and removal of the CAI for the Base too. My Base package has been ordered so once Tasca gets it. I'll post what was included. My excitement is starting to build a bit more now that it's inching closer to being real. :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blip Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Thanks Robert! :D Good to see that wheels and tires are back, and very happy to have the rear dual exhaust. (Looks like the side vs. rear exhaust will be the clue as if it is a Base or Performance version Terlingua.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank S Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 So the Base Model still has a "SHORT TROW SHIFTER" and "3.45" differential gears? And "yelloy" seats are an option? How is the Performance Model's included V6 spoiler different from the Optional Ford V6 spoiler? Are the Perf Quarter window covers longer than the Base QTR Window Block offs? Or did I just download the "OLD" brochure again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paleoc Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Not all V6 Mustangs use the V6 spoiler, many like on the V6 Pony use the GT spoiler. Actually, the "GT spoiler" was used on V6's in 2005 and 2006. For 2007+ V6 mustangs, they use the "V6 spoiler" (including Pony package). On the current 2009 models in addition, they offer a black satin GT spoiler as part of a special appearance package (including stripes, hood and side scoops).

check6 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 :happy feet: Thanks Robert! I'd love to see the optional interior upgrade....sure glad the wheels and tires are back. I wonder why the Ford Racing Performance Pack (CAI) has been cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahmann Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 The new colors look great. Looks like both packages are up in price though. Is SAI taking these cars in yet? Or do you still have to send them to Quantum? Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertlane Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I have seen a pair of seats and they are outstanding! I am making sure these are the final pieces and will post pictures if i get the green light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VorpalBunny Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Hi Robert, Anything new on the seat covers? Final look, cost etc and when they might be available I know I am very interested and assume others are as well. Thanks and happy holidays, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
