Prior to 2003, (1998-2003) my daily driver was a white '90 5.0L Mustang GT. In November of '03, I bought a brand new Azure Blue '03 Mustang Mach 1 (it's still my daily driver). For 15 years prior to this, I didn't have any tickets. Within a few months of owning the Mach 1, I got two tickets, a month apart. One for 90 in a 65 and one for 88 in a 65.

--in the incident of 90 in a 65: I was actually well into the speedometers triple digits. 90 is just what I got slowed down to while tearing up an '01/'02 SS Camaro's a**, when we ran up on a deputy sitting in the median at the bottom of a hill.

The Mach 1 makes around 320 HP --far less than 600. In reality and for the most part, my Mustang's hp potential (even at only 320hp) is mostly useless. On the street/highway, I could only romp on it for bursts of 15-30 seconds at a time before I would have to haul it back down to the legal speed limit for fear of running up on a cop. The remaining 99+% of the time the added horsepower potential has no real advantage on the highway.

Every time you do a clutch dump, light the tires up or run well in excess of the legal speed limit on the street/highway is one time closer you're going to get a ticket for it. Having a lot of horsepower for the dragstrip or opentrack events is rational. Having a lot of horsepower for a vehicle that's primarily (or only) going to be used on the street/highway is a great waste of potential horsepower and the money spent on the parts.

My '69 F100 with its very tired 240 will run 60-70 without too much fuss --while it was a bit of a struggle, it has run 80 but, then again, there isn't anywhere around here you can legally run 80 MPH. It doesn't take a lot of horsepower to run within legal speed limits.

I've mellowed out a good bit in the 12 years since I got my last speeding ticket and I don't have the compulsion anymore to dust off every idiot on the road that challenges me.

 

I believe they call that wisdom!

 

So for the delay, the part number for the Hedman hedders is 89410.
