i just realized how many different things these cars are being used for. i think this has got to be one of the more popular years for road racing. quite a few new edges, a few foxes, few sn95s, but i think the most cars i see are our years.

i am planning on adding alot of suspension things, working with the power i'm putting out now, trying to get that to the ground. then after warranty is up i want to put a nice s/c on.

my main thing with my car is drag racing. road course seems like it would be fun, but theres only one roadcourse i know of, and they don't have it open often.

I'm building my car as an all around car. It's never going to be a strictly drag car. It's always going to be a little of this and a little of that. It's much harder that way. Shortly my car will have a Saleen supercharger, Spec clutch & flywheel, full suspension, etc.

Mine, a 2007 GT, is my daily driver. I have a 1966 stock convertible for car shows, cruises, etc. I have mildly modified mine. I want best MPG I can get and a good ride, but still some power. I am planning to go across country in it in April with Mustangs Across America.

Daily driver and occasional road trip. I'd like to take it to a track some day. Its like the Eveready bunny rabbit. Just keeps going and going when your foot is on the pedal.

bluecar, do you mean energizer bunny?

I'm going to turn mine into a pickup truck, and put 13 inch gold spoke wheels on it. Oh, and some metal flake paint.

My intentions for my car change everytime I get bored and have time to think.

Hi Red. Some time ago there was a commercial for Eveready Engergizer batteries. They were put in a toy bunny rabbit and the batteries kept going strong, thus the rabbit would not stop, going back and forth on your TV screen. So I thought if that as a similar situation. My nephew tried the car, floored it and commented that the car kept relentlessly kept accelerating without running out of steam.

As for sentence #2, how about putting on 22s with a million chrome spokes, spinners and rubber band tires without lowering. Kids do that with old Cutlasses, Impalers, and that ilk inherited from Gramma. (wheels and tires worth more than the car)Don't be surprised if you ever see either situation. Come see them in the ghettos of SF!

Bigger shot of Nitrous (really soon). Turbo it

Depending on how fast the 2010 Mustang is, I will likely trade the car in for a 2012 GT.

Mine I plan to keep forever. Its a weekend only street/strip car.
I plan on booking some dyno time this winter to get it tuned properly and a possible shot of nitrous.

Fast Street/Track use only...
to that end I'll be dropping it another 1 1/2" or so with an Eibach Pro-S Kit in December and putting on a Roushcharger sometime late next year, which should put it somewhere up around 460bhp...ish...

My intention by next spring is to have a N/A consistent mid 12 sec 1/4 mile, daily driver that still gets 20+ MPG. I also want to do some more exterior mods such as Shelby GT rear fascia and some type of cowl hood with quite possibly a BOSS paint job.

my goal is 12.9 at the track with full untouched interior...the potential for 30 mpg on a nice long road trip...and i'd like to try auto-xing with it as well. Less expectations with my 95 as I want it to be quicker but still have everything in the car funtional.

LG Pro LT's, Callaway Honker CAI, dyno tuned...stock 2.73 gears w/ an auto trans.

Easiest car to run, stomp it on last yellow, hang on, run's high 12.8's all day long.
