My 2010 Black 4.6L Mustang GT from Italy
HI everybody!!
Here's my stang, 2010 GT Premium, bought 2 years ago in Hyannis, MA
I live in northern Italy, 20 miles away from Aviano NATO base (many americans here) that's why american cars passion grew in me since i was a child, and it's also quite easy to get parts and service, which in Europe is not that simple, not to say impossible. But passion goes through this! And i tell you more, it's a family thing, my fathers owns a Escalade (you can see a bit of it in one photo).. i know i know, it's GM. He got better in it than in a Expedition.
The specs :
-GT PREMIUM
-Appearance package
-Park distance sensors (fundamental here, where you got only tiny stripes on the streets to put your ride, stucked between awful cans.. ehm.. cars right)
-GPL system (i know it's something horrible, but otherwise it's quite impossible to afford mileage with so high gas prices, today was 1.8€ for a liter, which means 2,30$ for 0,26gal.. yeah, damn expensive) it's only a matter of extra weight and extra cables all around the hood, performance are not affected if correctly tuned, and i can ride with same mileage but only for 0,89$ for 0,26gal and i can still ride with my stang and make shake everything i meet on the road.
-SYNC system
-Shaker 1000 audiosystem
Here's the mods list :
-Added side markers just on the top of GT badge and modified tail-lights, just to comply stupid euro laws, and a lot of other adaptations, took me 1 year long battle with at local agency to get the damn plates.. .. ..
-CAI from Steeda
-91oct tune (consider that here you'll find 91octane gas as standard one)
-170 degrees thermostat
-jlt oil catch can
-Long tube headers by JBA
-Catted H-Pipe by JBA (yeah, x-pipe sounds like normal hi-perf euro cars, i bought a stang to have the gurgling deep and low tone)
-Ford racing axlebacks FR500SA (in my opinion, the best you can buy! absolutely drone-free and hellish when WOT)
-Hood struts
-Carbon look wrapped trims on the dash
here's some photos..
ps.. sorry for my english, i know it's not that good

Nice car. I don't think that your english is all that bad. I meet many Americans every single day who can not speak it nearly as well as you can.
Alan, I think I figured out what your car needs. One of those hood scoops! It seems to add a more aggressive look to the front end.
