Question: “When is a 600 horsepower Mustang not a 600 horsepower Mustang?” Answer: “When you can’t transfer all that power to the ground!”
The weakest link between a vehicle’s engine and its wheels is the driveshaft. Stock driveshafts can easily manage a few hundred horsepower but limit the potential of more potent performers. Luckily, Fidanza has the solution - new performance driveshafts for muscular 2005-2007 Ford Mustangs (GT, Shelby GT500, 5-6 speed).
Fidanza’s 3.5” diameter aluminum Mustang driveshafts are rated for up to 600 (#586486) and 900 (#586489) horsepower, have none of the clearance issues associated with larger driveshafts and feature a superior joint design for increased strength. As well, the aluminum shafts weigh only 16 lbs. (32 lbs. less than stock!). The result is less rotating mass and less wasted horsepower in the drivetrain.

PERRY, Ohio - Performance enthusiasts are all too familiar with the age-old equation: more horsepower = less drivability. This has been especially true of twin-disc clutch kits, virtual “on/off” switches with awful street manners. Fortunately, the Fidanza finishing school has graduated an entirely new class of civilized twin-disc clutch kits bred for good behavior.
Fidanza twin-disc performance clutches are engineered to tackle up to 800 horsepower while stock pedal pressure is virtually unchanged and engagement feels as smooth as a typical Stage 3 single-disc clutch.
“For far too long you had to sacrifice drivability to use a twin-disc clutch set-up,” said Bob Scheid, vice president, Fidanza. “So what could you do when your car was making too much power for a conventional clutch? We found the answer using superior production materials and proprietary new designs. Our twin-disc clutch kits prove you can have performance with proper etiquette. We’re here to tell you - driving your street car to the track can be enjoyable!”
Using smaller 8 3/4” diameter discs, Fidanza has carefully controlled the rotating mass of its clutches - while maintaining a sizeable surface area for optimum gripping power - which perform better due to their relative low moment of inertia. As a result, the transmission is able to rev faster, which allows for rapidly matched transmission shifts.
