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.

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 ...

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..

This should be what it looks like once clean.. Same everything.. except i dont plan to add the front plate.

Looks good Ryan. You'll be motivating me to jump on the hammer and make the cobra faster. Just like the good ol' days of the saleen vs. your GT. I think I still have your number. I'll try to call you later today.
