Ive had lots of fast cars, 5.0s, 351s, 440s, even a VW bus with a Buick 350. I modded all of them to some degree so they would be faster. I had plans when I bought my V6, but Ive cooled off quite a bit in the last 6 months. I put GT take-off wheels and a GT muffler on, and Im planning on GT bumpers and dual exhaust, but I consider those to really be appearence mods vice performance mods.

I just like the way my car drives. I made a 1000 mile trip when I moved from Va to Ar early this month. 70-80 mph with the ac on, and I got 27 mpg. It looks great, sounds great, has a decent oem sound system, turns heads wherever I go. The 05 Mustang is just a great car "as is".

I think I will stop at appearence mods, maybe some painted stripes too.

Im just happy with my car, its been many years since I have felt this way, its kind of fun.

That is such a true statement Fazm83.. The 100HP shot of Nitrous is perfect really.. That puts you roughly at 310RWHP, maybe 305, and 320-330 RWTQ for a few seconds when you need it most.. You really cant beat that..

100 shot wont give me more than 275rwhp im pretty sure on that. The one v6 with ZEX, headers, intake, exhaust, tune, etc is only makin like 270rwhp (on a mustang dyno, so a little over 310 probably on a dynojet). They did say the headers did almost nothing in stock form.

As it should be...

["Im just happy with my car, its been many years since I have felt this way, its kind of fun."] I know the feeling, every day when I turn the key. It's great to finally have "the" car. Hope everyone is just as pleased.

Every time I press that clutch and turn over the engine to be greated with a throaty rumble in response... its like Im a kid in a candy store all over again.

Too bad it doesnt come with 300 hp stock though hehe.

No, I shouldnt have bought a GT. Does this stop the next response sufficently?
