A Z06 is an awesome car but you are dreaming (or real lucky) to get it at MSRP. This thread has sort of turned into a "why did you not buy a corvette" etc.. guys i just wanted to share my Mustang purchase with fellow Mustang lovers.
So it's not about me or a vette, it is about a GT500, which in my opinon is a bad a$$ car. is it perfect? No way. I do not particularly like the interior and the exhaust sound is a joke. For sticker at $43 it is a great buy for 15K over it falls short. I still love it though

I am still here!
I removed my sig because it seems if i leave it on then the focus of the conversation turns into my other cars , what i do for a living and what I can afford etc (It happend at the Mustangs forums as well) instead of the focus being on my Stang.
The hanlding is interesting. With no passengers and about a quarter of a tank it feels absolutely zippy, with a full tank and a passenger the car hits a wall. So in my humble opinion at 3,920 pounds it is pushing the envelope of how a perfromance car should handle, it is still much better than an average car. It has everything else going for it, I love the look and I love the fact I have a 500HP car that is under factory warranty.

Well congrats on the car- Very nice color combination- If I order one I will probably go the same way- I am waiting for the BOSS to see the final results on that as well-
But the Shelby is very tempting- as it would be cool to have an old and a new one-
Nice collection of cars by the way too-
Tint - Not my bag, but will look sharp either way
New exhaust - absolutely, but I have no idea who's got the good kits... Just don't make it sound like a redneck's mud truck, as is so common...
C-pillar louvers - Tacky, tack-on, J.C. Whitney looking trash... If you do that, you may as well have "C'YA" put in big letters in your rear window tint, "2-fast-4-U" in the front tint strip, get one of those chrome chain-link license plate frames, and order up ten or twenty more cobra snakes and Shelby emblems to plaster over every square inch of the car... (can you tell that I don't think much of tack-on busy styling stuff??
New wheels? Only if you're talking about going back with stock diameter. If you're planning on increasing diameter, you:
1. Foul up the dynamics and ride of the car
2. Fall into that poser catagory, like all the goofballs out there running dubs on Escalades. It's a fad, and it's on the downslope (thank goodness).
If you're thinking about going with a rim that will make the car look more serious, then I can give you a thumbs-up on that. I think the stock wheels are fairly attractive though.
With modifications, especially cosmetic, it's so easy to accomplish the opposite of your goal. Taking a classy looking car, spending a bunch of additional dough, and winding up cheapening the look of it with overwrought cartoonish faddish "stuff".
Keep it clean and purposeful. A guy wearing a flashy outfit with 5 pounds of gold on his neck and wrists, and a diamond rolex, just looks foolish and vain and desperate. Same goes for cars..
Love your color choices though, you've got a great start...
So those are my opinions. You asked!!!
