Buddy at work passed this along to me, he's waiting to get his new Mustang. Seem like Hertz is again, after 40 years, going to offer a hotter than stock Mustang for rent.

Rent one, take it home, swap engines with your stock 05-06GT and return it!

Hahaa thats an awesome idea, wonder how long it'd take them to notice.

Unsure if it's worth it for 25HP

Which brings to mind:

Do you know the difference between a rental car and a 4x4?

A 4x4 will go off-road - a rental car will go anywhere.

We had a guy bring a rental mustang to the races a couple of weeks ago. He loved it. Drove it like he stole it and then took it back. Even with the entry fee, he had a full day of racing for less than $125.00. Not a bad deal.

For those of you interested, here's a little more info on the program.

By the way, that's only another 50 hp at the flywheel. Better than stock but many of us have already exceeded that with bolt-on mod's and tuning.

I believe it is 25 more at the flywheel, which is about right. CAI and mild tune will account for most of that. Even with the x pipe mod and new exhaust mufflers (which I have read only adds 8 to 10 more.) I imagine that the tune is really really mild. Probably just enough to account for the increased air flow and a 87 octane fuel. I am really pleased that Hertz did it again. Good Job
