Lol, if I had that car...those tires wouldn't last long.
Jealous...That is how I feel now.
Now tint the windows. What's wrong with the grey plastic parts at the the bottom? Did you wax them?
Thats sweet

Very nice, those can be very fast with little money!
Good pick up!
I want to drive it with the short throw and new intake.
And I want to actually launch it this time.

cant see crap in the first two pics but if youve seen one youve seen them all. nice purchase
Sorry a down grade in my opinion. 03-04 Cobra over this, even a 94 5.0 over this.

a 94 5.0? are you serious they are like 160whp
03-04 Cobra, thats debatable, 7-8k less but thats because they arent new, similar potential and efficiency.

Yeah....... I don't say it often, but I'm with matt. That "even a 94 5.0" comment was @!#$ hilarious. This new mustang is universes ahead of that.

I love the new 5.0's.
All I have to contribute, as for Higgin's comment I don't get it either. A downgrade? LOL.
Yeah...apparently tire shine is bad for black plastic parts...all is well, that was like the first time I washed and detailed the car a lil. Tried it...didn't work AT ALL lol, have since cleaned all the residue that was left behind off. They look much better now lol.
I'll agree with the Terminator being a nice car, but I can't stand the ergonomics of driving one. The shifter is horribly placed way forward. They redesigned everything in 05 and is very much nice now.
Thanks guys. I appreciate the compliments.
JL - Well I guess some things never change.

May I suggest something for the plastic trim below the doors bumpers.I use the black magic tire gel with a old wash cloth to apply it.As u use it over time it will keep it moistened and not fade.Tire shine while shiny will make a mess of it as u know.I have cleaned or detailed stuff for years and this technique seems to be about the best at least on my use.It will collect dust but,that is norm.I know my wifes prev 95 civic had plastic front to rear below the paint and used the orignal black magic which was FOR trim but has been discontinued yrs back.So I substituted the tire gel and use on my trk front bump and door handles.There pretty much is not much else unless u armor all it which will work but washing fades it quick.I wear latex gloves to keep the greasy factor off my hands.Nice car btw.
You have a nice car now, I'm a complete ass hole as well as Mustang fanatic for life. So to see your old Cav, I cringe to think of you doing anything to that beautiful car
Take it as a compliment. haha

Rest assured, there will be no "let's see how this works" with the mustang. It's not like the J world where there are only a few pioneers trying to push the outer envelope trying to squeeze every last bit of power out of a 4 cylinder. There are numerous companies that do all the r&d that I found myself doing time and time again with the J. I don't have to guess. I don't have to try new things. If I can imagine something that's wild to me...there are 20 other guys that have already tried it, found the kinks, and worked them out and the right way to do it is available. Keep in mind, when I pushed up to 488whp on the 01, there were only like 4 or 5 guys ahead on the hp-o-meter. That and when you put THAT much under the hood of a cavalier you kinda start running out of room. I have to be patient with the mustang so I've got time to keep things nice and tidy. The J was slap it together as long as everything is working who cares what it looks like. I admit, I could have done A LOT better keeping things clean under the hood of the J, but at the end of the day it was a $3000 cavalier. No one, except other J enthusiasts really gave a crap about that car. The mustang is a whole new world. I get complimented at least once a day on my car. If people are looking THAT much, I have a responsibility to them and myself to keep this thing looking as close to mint as I possibly can. I know how to do things right, the big difference between back then and now...I actually care about EVERY aspect of my car as oppose to just how fast or how much power it makes.
