CobraStangGT16

Hi all,

My name is Matt and I'm from SoCal. I'm 16 years old and just bought a '99 Mustang GT. A little about my car: 1999 4.6L Mustang GT, Screaming Yellow, Chrome SVT wheels, Dual Flowmasters Welded on, X-pipe with 2 cat. converters, and manual transmission.

I know some people feel akward with a 16 year old driving a GT mustang, but rest assure, I have very much respect for these vehicles. My father and I built a Shelby Cobra last year and I know how these things can move. Easily, the tail can wind up in front of you and I know how this happens. The reason I brought this up is because I was on another forum and they gave me a lot of grief because of my age. I payed for this car myself and respect it with responsibility.

Thanks again, and I'm sure my experience here will be better than other forums.

Welcome

Thanks for stating your situation. Good luck with your '99. BTW I'm in SoCal too, in LA, have you been to the Fabulous Fords show at Knott's each April? Great show, gives tons of ideas on what to do/don't do to a Mustang(of course depending on one's taste).
Welcome! I'm gulity of being tough on our youth in this forum, but it's all in search of enlightenment. I'm no end all authority on Mustangs, but I've been involved for over 20 years and I took my lumps as well during my younger days. It's great to see that you and your dad are in this hobby(of working on cars) together, in my opinion, the ulimate way of bonding whether male or female, whether if dad or mom is the teacher, or vice versa!

Thanks for the welcoming, guys.

05gtdriver, Yes, I have seen the ads for the show but never have I been to one. However, each year my father and I attend the kit car show the following weekend after the Ford show. Next year, for sure I will go. Actually, last year was the first year we entered our Cobra in the show. We are still in the process of building it, (paint, carpet, bugs to fix), but it should be done for sure by the end of this year. I'll post a few pictures of my car.

Sweet Mustang, you have good, subtle taste(in my opinion). I like the Mach 1 chin spoiler and the '03 Cobra decklid spoiler and chrome wheels always look cool with yellow cars(black with a chrome lip look nice as well). Maybe a Saleen rear 1/4 window treatment? It makes the rear side windows flow with the c-pillar. Take it easy

Twister

so, are you hanging tough?

Thanks. Yeah I am really satisfied the overall look and performance of the car. Oh yeah, and I think one thing that makes the car look really cool, but is overseen, is that it has been lowered 1.5 inches.

I don't quite know what you mean by that, Twister?
