Freaking gorgeous. Me jealous as hell. I'd probably take that car over a freaking Ferrari. Any mods done?

I just scored a killer job as a CNC Machinist. Over 20 an hour to start. Started this week. Not the greatest wage out there, but within 15 minutes from my door. Combined with the wife making 17, life just got real easy for me.

Someday soon I will have one of my own. A mineral grey or silver coupe. Someday real soon...

Thanks! I loved my '05 and '08 I had. This is smaller inside and out obviously. Older looking radio, gauges, door trim, etc. I don't really care, I just like mustangs and found this one for a steal. I was shopping for 6 months.

I'm quite intimidated because I have no experience with superchargers and so I'm slowly learning what other oils, fluids, filters, etc that need care and maintenance. It's crazy sounding and the power is crap your pants fast.

Yes there's modifications:
JLT intake, SCT X3 programmer, Magnaflow exhaust 2.8 upper pully, UPR clutch quadrant, and sub-frame connectors. I personally just lowered it with H&R Race springs, and put the AFE 18" cobra wheels on 9x10 front and rear.

I'm done modifying. I don't care (seriously) about more power. I'm a looks guy and I just plan to go to as many shows as possible in and around town. I'll keep this forever and try to keep the miles low. I've put just around 250 miles in three weeks being excited of ownership. It has just over 44k on odometer now. The wife named it "Smoky". My truck is "Stony". And of course her car is "Lexi".

I paid 18k.

Looks great, makes me want a Cobra even more now. That's also the perfect ride height for me, good job on that.
