Actually, thats what it was. I picked it up from a wholesale trade-in lot at Luxury Motors in Orland Park, IL. They are a Ferrari dealer, the last place you'd think of finding a beat stang.
As a testament to the power and suspension, I snapped the brand new Moser pinion gear in my 9" rear end out at the track Sunday. Good thing I trailered it! It was the first launch that rear end had ever seen. Everything I buy from Moser breaks. From now on, I'll deal with Strange.
I just picked up a used shot-peened and micro polished richmond ring and pinion from 2ndchanceraceparts.com. It was used in only one NASCAR Nextel Cup race. I got it for $100!!! Its a 3.40 ratio which will give me a few more MPH in 4th gear out at the road course, and quicker boost on the street. If its good enough for NASCAR, lets see if it will hold up in my car, lol.
