Congrats! A induction system like Demolete's "Tunable Induction" and a SCT tuner(sold as a package for around $575) will add about 20hp with a 87 octane tune and 25hp with a 93 octane tune. Add gears (I have 4.10s) for about 450-700 and you will have one fast car. Underdrive pulleys will give you another 8hp and a straight throug axle back will give you another 7-10hp (I've seen 2 Corsa dynos and they are in the 12hp range while Mustang and Fast Fords rated Borla stingers at around 10hp after some dyno tests. Corsa's are the most $, but I just saw them online with free shippping for $592. Others are around $400-500. Flowmaster and other "non striaght through" aren't gaining any power on the dyno, but improve sound. I'd throw a set of springs (about $450-500 installed) and maybe some aftermarket wheels. I decided to stick to 18s for both price and most importantly performance. The additional wieght of a 20 is like adding 200-300lbs to your car based on physics as the mass increases and moves farther from the center point of rotation.. Well, that's my 2 cents! Enjoy and have fun with your new baby

Great post! Thanks for this. I just traded my 05 V6 in on a loaded GT automatic and I friggin' love it! As far as the 0% deal is concerned, I had a bancruptcy 2 years ago and was paying 12% on my V6. I guess my credit is much better now because my beacon score is 711 now and I had no problem getting the loan. So for an auto, if i get gears should i go for 3.73s or 4.10s? I noticed the Ford Racing Drag Pack for an auto uses 3.73s.

Hey Jimp, I hear ya man!!!!! I came off a bankruptcy just less than a year ago myself. Salesman said had I not qualified for the 0% APR OR had opted to get an '07 I would've been looking at around 17%!!!!!!! THANK YOU FORD FOR FREE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my fourth V8 Stang and is by far the best yet!!!! I love it!!!!!!

I got rid of my 05 Sonic Blue GT Convertible for a 06 Torch Red GT Convertible with Crimson Red Interior. I got the car for my x-plan price with 0% for 72. It is supposed to be here Friday since it is coming from Mt Vernon which is a couple of states away from me in NC. It seemed really hard to find a manual in the GT anywhere. It was almost impossible to find a manual for a GT convertible. By the way my payment dropped almost $200.
