Default RE: I used to have money.....

I kept my 01' GT stock except for mufflers, and stripes. For some reason once I got my 07' I was hit big time by the mod bug. I think the reason is that the S197's are just so retro of the 60's mustang (which I always loved) that I had to mod it out.

Now I'm buying an 08' Shelby and leaving it stock.....except the shelby interior, and underhood dress up parts.

So, no Vortech on the 6 banger he?
Question: Why not the GT/CS instead of the Shelby? Same bumpers and look just about, but way cheaper. The stealer won't bend you over with the CS.

I feel you- I have no money anymore... but I love my sixxer and when I can mod it I will def be changing her appearance (pointless to mess with performance as its a sixxer )

You can make a sixxer go fast now days. Hell, even 4 bangers...
But I'm sure you didn't buy that car for power anyhow Just saying, if you've got a change of heart, the options are there.

I can get a brand new Shelby GT for 29k.
I still have 2 years on my warranty and dont want to mess with a S/C so I figured I'll get the SGT and keep the 6er as my DD, and the SGT as a weekend car.

Man that is exactly what I plan on doing, I told my wife I was going to get a Shelby but it will be a few more years. Maybe by the time I get my weekend driver, I can afford the king of the road

really? Around here they're around 41 and change after the ADM...freaking assrapists![:@]

we'd be lucky to get an 08 GT 5spd coupe for under 29K...

Now I'm buying an 08' Shelby and leaving it stock
sure

ElBroko here also.
Swore the stocker was good enough before buying.
I guess I was wrong. It needed so many mods, I lost.
