Just bought this sexy beast a few weeks ago and I'm having trouble coming up with a name that fits her. So far, I've got Sasha or Gabriella. What does she look like to you?

I'm not into pet names for cars so can't help you there. Nice looking ride though! Congrats on the purchase. Have you got any mods in mind?

I don't have too much planned so far. My 95 was HEAVILY modded, but this one is pretty damn good right out of the box.

Right now, I've got the springs, I plan on buying Tokico shocks/struts and the FRPP sway bars to tighten up the suspension. I have some 19" x 8.5" rims, but I'm waiting on my current tires to wear out before replacing them. I would like to get the GT500 front brake kit, but the cheapest I've seen them is $1,000!!

Today, I've been listening to FRPP Hot Rod cam clips and they sound pretty nice. I might end up doing that some time down the road, along with a CAI.

Other than picking up a short throw shifter, that's about it.

These are the rims I bought. Not too sure how they'll look on my car, since I'm not normally into dark rims. But I think they'll look pretty good.

Nice!

A CAI and tune are almost obligatory on these cars. 4.10 gears are a good idea if you're staying NA, 3.73's if you plan on FI. I love the sound of the FRPP cams too - will be doing a forged bottom end and heads/cams soon.

I know tons of people do 4.10's, but that just seems too steep for me. Stock, my car does 2,500 RPM's at 80mph on the freeway. I don't want to go much higher than that. I was thinking 3.55's. I had 3.55's on my 95 and they were great.

I would say go 3.73 then instead of the 4.10s. I know a ton of people with the 4.10s and they love it but I cant decide between the 4.10 or 3.73. But mine is stock for now as well. I got it Thursday So congrads lol. Mine is vista blue and they originally told me it was kona blue which is the new blue for 09. So I name mine kona. it just fits haha. yours kind of looks like a 'Shelby' I know you cant use that because obviously its not but it just looks like that name fits lol

Sally? Very nice camera angle. Is that a stage1 roush? If so, the corners on the stripes tend to lift after a few washes, so watch for that (Don't use a pressure washer! Used to work at a Ford dealership). Great car BTW.

Nah, she's just a stock GT with a Roush wing and stripes. Came from the dealer that way.

Thanks. I sure hope so. I put one rim next to the car last night and it looked pretty dark. We'll have to see how she looks with the rims and tires on. So far I'm a little skeptical.

Do I need to say that in the Cartman voice?
