The gt is no more. 80k hard miles later and I have had my fill and was ready for something new. The snow put me over the top.

The newest member of my stable is a 08 graphite grey Evolution X w/navi and some mean snow tires lol. I am absolutely loving it, amazing handling (even with snow tires) and the brakes are almost ridiculous. Will leave it stock for as long as I can, but prob do a flash and some bolt on's at some point in summer.

The stangs will always be a favorite for me, and who knows, maybe I will have another some day.

Phag.

:D

Awesome commitment to your stang over the years, sad to see it go. Or at least not transform into a gutted race car or something. :)

Evo is a great car, it's just unfortunate the company you'll keep now.

Yeah, i totally wanted to keep the stang, gut it, cage it, and have a nice track and auto x car setup. Decided a reliable main transport option was needed and i can wait awhile to have the race car. Need a house first too lol.

Wish at times i would have gone for the auto MR version, but after reading alot of folks dont like that setup so i am still happy.
 
I was sad to see Mitsu dismiss the 4G63 when they built the X. I feel no guilt bouncing that thing off the rev limit when screwin around in the snow and whatnot. AWD is a blast in the snow.

Welcome to the turbo 4 world.
 
Soon as i get a decent day of weather to clean the thing up i will try and snap some pics. I do miss the v8 low end power, but man once that turbo spools its all over :jaw:...

There are also 10000 more parts you can buy for the car so i will prob never buy a house haha.. bolt ons and a tune and folks getting darn near 400 awhp now.

Corey lets def meet up. You got my numero still right..
