LOL thanks guys.

06GT4RAD, yeah that would have been good cause we have like 50 of those microfiber towels at home, but I didn't think I would be taking pics of the Stang', but I'll remember that next time, thanks.


UPDATE!!!

Just got this back from Jim this morning:

Hi - well, I'd like to see you bring it up here because we have more good photo locations. You and your dad need to come on up and we will do a father/son theme. What is your schedule and I think I can work around it.

Jim

Eric, they're great pictures for a 16 year old. I also hope that you get to drive the 'Stang from time to time because I'm sure it's plenty of fun with those modifications - even if it's not a "girl-o-matic" I'm sure it impresses the ladies!

This is from MM&FF:

Great shots. For a little more effect, use a tripod and shoot at dusk or just before and just after to ride the harsh lighting.

Wow thats awesome. I didn't think that you would get so many responses. Thats very very cool that even a very major magazine like Car and Driver would send you back an e-mail. I'm also 16 and turn 17 in August and I just ordered my 07 Torch red mustang that is going to look just like that one except with the Fanblades. How do you like the Airaid CAI? That was the CAI i was looking at getting and was planning to install a Hurst shortshifter also. Do you think that maybe as you get older your dad will give you the mustang to drive? Pretty cool car to be driving around with your permit.

My dad said that the Airaid is definitely more responsive in W.O.T and gets about 2-3 more mpg. Actually my dad got the stang for me but long story short, it was way too much car for me to handle at my age so I told him to keep it for himself. I will be getting my stang' when I graduate High School. WHo knows I may even get the new model stang' if it looks good, but I will be interested to see them try to top the current stang'.

BTW thanks for the nice comments.

I would bet after another 2 months when you get your license and then maybe after a year of driving i'm sure it would be OK. Remember, just because a car is fast doesn't mean you have to drive it fast, but i respect your choice and remember most kids at our age wouldn't be thinking that intelligently. They would be going for the car they couldn't drive very well. My mustang is a step down from my dads car i learned to drive a stick on. 400 horsepower Bimmer with a high-perf tranny/clutch is not the car i would reccomend to learn to drive a stick on.

I'm going to be driving the stang' allot, it just won't be mine. See, the thing is, I already have mod fever so I need to save $$$ for a couple of years to be ready for it lol.

2006RedGT

LOL good point. I'm going to have 1007 dollars worth of parts sitting in my garage before it gets here.
Is your dad running a programmer with the chip? Or is he just running the intake with the restrictor?

mustangman2424

He doesn't have a tuner YET lol. He will eventually get one though. We are building a big outdoor BBQ at our house so mods for the stang' will have to wait a while for my dad's wallet to fill back up.
