Default New Toy, 2008 GT500

I sold my 2005 Mustang GT last month and bought this about two weeks ago. It's torch red with the silver rocker strips.

Sorry for the crappy pictures (taken the day of purchase from phone), will get some better ones later.








Last weekend I got my Eibach Pro-Kit and Borla Stingers installed...up next is a JLT CAI, pulleys, and a good dyno tune.

congrats!

Now, the truth... was that an impulse buy???

Just looking at that one could cause most of us to check our bank balances!

Thanks everyone!

No Orion, it was actually a car that I had been watching the whole time my car was forsale. The one thing that really struck my interest was the silver rocker strips in lieu of the white ones that I saw on every other red one. Plus this one had the CDC light bar and shaker 1000, which were things I really wanted.

Congratulations again Cameron, the car looks great. I can't wait to hear it with the new exhaust installed.

I have been wondering when you were going to post that animal .
