Squires Turbo Systems created a remote mount twin turbo kit for 2005 and 2006 Ford Mustangs that allows you to mount the turbocharger in place of the muffler, rather than under the hood. STS claims cooler running temperatures for both turbocharger and engine. On a stock 4.6L engine, the rear wheel horse power climbs to over 447hp, a 73% increase.

After the success of the nostalgic design of the latest Ford Mustang generation Ford decided to produce a limited edition called California Special a very popular version from the 60’s.
1968 2007 limited edition
A convertible version of the Mustang Shelby GT500 will be added to SVT’s catalog in 2007.
The Ford Mustang GT500 Convertible is the successor to the Mustang Cobra convertible. Its supercharged iron 5.4-liter V8 will produce 475 lb-ft of torque and 475 hp–approximately seventy hp less than the 550-hp all-aluminum version of this engine in the GT supercar. That power goes through a six-speed stick and a solid rear end (no fancy independent rear suspension this time). Surprisingly, only eighteen-inch wheels will be offered initially–the same size that’s optional on the Mustang GT–but keen Mustang fans will spot the unique rim design, more aggressive front end styling, and power vent hood. Ford spruced up the GT500 with a fabric roof (instead of vinyl), a leather-wrapped dash, and the basic Mustang interior is a pretty nice place anyhow. The GT500 Convertible goes on sale concurrently with the coupe in the summer of 2006 at a sticker price of less than $45,000.
