Car looks sick! A keeper for sure...super rare breed.

Solid car, congrats!

Very nice! Look into seeing if you can get the dual belt front engine/accessory drive system, or at least make sure you have the upgraded tensioner. Congrats on a very sweet ride

its basically a 540 hammer roush that they made in 2009 etc. My friend has a hammer and its nice, put out 500rwhp/tq stock.

Not the same.

The P51 was basically a Stage 3 with the addition of a built motor from Roush. Bodykit, Suspension, Brakes, full interior treatment...etc

The Hammer has the same basic powertrain and suspension as this previously released model, but stock appearing from the exterior.

OP, enjoy the car.

^^^thanks for clarifying that in regards to the Hammer....the P51 was the first Roush with the handbuilt, forged engine and also included the Stage 3 suspension....if I am not mistaken...lol

Yes, you are correct. It was the first S197 Roush with the built motor, and they continued the next year with another variant of the P-51 then into the Hammer car and Stage 3's if I am correct. You might have already known this, but I was responding the one guy who said it was basically the same as the Hammer car.

Sick ride!

 

[JSZ03]

Nice....it'd look even better with the 20" 427r rims on it.

I am on the fence with those wheels....never was a huge fan of dubs on a Mustang, although some do look good nowadays...

did you have it at Carlisle last weekend? There was one identical to it that was in our hotel parking lot

Nice buy! Sometimes the best deals fall right in your lap even when your waiting for something else.

Nice looking car. Have fun in it.

one of the best looking designs on the s197 platform, congrats !

 

[JSZ03]

No, we did not get a chance to bring it to Carlisle...we were supposed to pick it up Friday afternoon, but the transporter fell asleep at a rest stop.....lol.....then had a wedding Saturday afternoon, so we said screw it....will show it next year....I have only seen one or two since they came out, both in Ocean City at the spring cruise....

just an update bringing this thread back from the dead....entered a local show on Saturday with about 400+ cars and won the first time out....needless to say, Pops was happy, especially after we smoked an LS1 SS on the way home
