Default I finally got a Mustang!!!

I wanted to introduce myself before I start asking questions (after searching of course) and creeping around. I just picked up my first Mustang, 1995 Cobra w/ 331 stroked trickflow aluminum headers, trick flow intake, Vortech Supercharger, Comp Cam (not sure series), full borla exhaust, T5 trans w/ upgrades, 10 inch rear end 4:10, and 20 shot of Nitrous (dry). It was dynoed at 500hp to the rear wheel with the 20 shot. The seller gave me his dyno sheets. This winter I would like to take it to the shop again, so I have eyes on. lol The body is so so, but my father owns his own autobody shop and the interior needs some attention. I'm a newb when it comes to hopped up cars, so bare with me. lol I have raced motocross my whole like and now I am starting to venture into the world of drag racing since my brother and father drag race. Kind of like a racing family, I guess? I will get pictures as soon as I wash it again. This black paint is a pain to keep clean!

Very nice. Sounds like you got a pretty darn good one for your first! And black can be a pain, but once you learn to treat it right, it'll be beautiful...
