This color is a definitive one for the model- anyone remember that Mystic Pearl cr@p that Ford put on their Mustangs back in the '90s?

Unlike that one, this color adds sexiness and class. Very VIP.

I love my Ren. Red SC. I do. I really do.

Really.

But if this color came around under my nose, well...

Wow! Where can I find the recent pictures that you said you posted.
I'm buying a 99SC400 tomorrow with that color.
It is great to hear so many people love the color!
How many miles are on yours?

Is there any way to know how many were painted this color or any color for that matter?

Thanks

Smile Getting SC400

Hey thanks.

I'm really l;ooking forward to getting a 99SC400. Have always loved those sexy curvy lines.
Feel fortunate to find a clean second owner one with all the maintainence records.
Only 110,000 miles and the Timing Belt, Water Pump and Starter have all been recently done.

I had a 99 GS400 that I put an RMM Supercharger on. Had 360 HP at the rear wheels. 4.5 sec 0-60mph
Also had 3.76 LSD and Dragon Torque Converter, Coilovers, Greddy Exhaust. TRD Blue Sways and all the Tom's braces
Unfortunately a tree fell on it last winter and totalled it out. RIP!!!


Have another 99 GS400 but not Supercharged.
I do have the Torsen 3.76 LSD on it. And love it.
Would love to put an LSD on the 99 SC400!
Idon't know yet if a Torsen 3.76 LSD will work on it.
I think I heard about a member who had done that.

Love the LSD. What a difference. My very favorite performance mod.
Getting power to both rear wheels, what an improvement!
Floor it going around a corner and hang on! What fun!

For now not much.
Kind of short on money.
I've been looking at wood steering wheels
and trying to find some 17" chrome GS wheels
Don't want to get to crazy with this car!
I don't know yet what is really available!

If I found out for sure that a 3.76 LSD would fit on
there. And if I could get one at a decent price, I'm
sure I'd want to do that

All you need to worry about is rolling the fenders and getting stretched tires and you'll be good for awhile

No. Don't ruin the car by putting stretched tires on it, please.
