I still have my 2000 SS. I'll never get rid of her! 37K OG Miles. Buying another one to build! My brother has his 98 SS fully built and turbo'd, making 1300 RWHP. This is one beautiful build!! Great content! Great car!

[@kilesloppy]

I have an 02ss 52k miles. 2nd time I’ve owns an 02. Love these cars

[@KeakaOfficial]

@SloppyNoSeconds me too! My BF had a 98 Z, but I used to always race/drive it. He used to just give it to me for a week at a time usually, just made sure we raced on the weekends. He ended up crashing and passing away Nov 2001 and totalling it.. Made Mt love for FBody Camaros that much more deep. Had one ever since!

Even as a Mustang owner, you have to respect the time, effort and money to make such a bad ass build like this! Well done!

Not really. Mustang owners don't typically respect anything. Especially spectator safety 😉

This is a sexy 4th Gen. While EARLY 1st Gen big mouth grille will always be my favorite, it seems as of late that some 3rd Gen builds are really renewing my childhood interest in the cars that I used to love before driving age and as things go, some of the new 4th Gen builds have me falling in love with THAT platform once again, as in my younger years.

[@joshwynn1836]

That's awesome! I have a 99 SS that I just finished a Mike Lough 408 with a 91/102 T4, yes t4 cuz a/c car!lol Still hoping to crack a thousand without leaning on it hard! This IS my daily, so it has to stay together! The down time has been hell, but about to be worth it!lol Thanks guys! Nice to see him still rocking 15" fronts! I may have to use some for a while. I'm not rich by any means!

I got my 02 SS on September 13th 2001. Only has around 9700 miles on it now. Not getting rid of it, my daughter will end up with it. The only thing I’ve done to it is BMR lowering springs and Weld S71s. It was completely stock until last Feb. down to the original wheels and tires.

@@obezzyjohnson9680 I appreciate that. One I found a guy did an LT1 swap w/a 10L90 and didn’t have to do any cutting, but he took the video down. I know it’s a small difference in size with 6 and 10. GM Authority says it’s the same size. I will try find a case and try to see if does. I’ll keep you posted and even might make a video

[@robertborgeson1821]

Ever had any luck with that? I Procharged my 01 Camaro, want to keep going and I'm banging my head against the wall trying to figure out a tranny. Not that the 10 speed would necessarily work for me but I'm not overly enthusiastic about spending a lot of money to build a 4L60/80

[@trevonwilson1]

Did you have to do any modifications to get the 15" wheels and tire to fit in the rear?

[@myattsgarage]

Have to shave down calipers slightly to fit them.

[@bansheerider2004]

@@myattsgaragecame here to say that. Had to on my 2000 z28 when I did 15s for the strip

[@stephencox4509]

Yeah it seems no matter what rims you get, they all require some grinding on the calipers. I have JMS Avengers on the back of mine, 15×10 and they said they bolted on. They did, but not really lol. Couldn't turn. You can fit some pretty big tires though without doing much. I have 28" tall, 13.50 wide hoosier quick time pros and all I had to do was cut the bump stops off and a little spot toward the front inside of the wheel well and bang in the inside a little with a hammer. No fender rolling. I have BMR 1.25-1.5" drop springs in the back too so it can be done with relatively little work. One thing I wasn't aware of was running staggered wheels will mess with your abs. Idk how to remedy that yet but I'll figure it out. The speed sensors just freak out spinning different speeds.

[@trevonwilson1]

@@stephencox4509 would it fit better if you went with a 275×50×15 26" tall tire?

[@stephencox4509]

@@trevonwilson1 really the tires weren't the issue. The problem was the rim rubbing the caliper. Hence all the grinding. It didn't take much to make the tires fit. The point of my reply was really to make people aware that these wheels that say they bolt right on, never really do. At least most of them. I think maybe bogarts will work without grinding the calipers but I have never used them so I can't vouch for them.
