Here are some pictures of my new baby:







I bought it brand new off of the dealership lot. I think they had 2 of them left so I got a pretty good deal on it.

A little buyer's remorse has set in but not too bad. I do like th 5.0's and that might just be because they are the only thing on the dealerships lot now. I hope that the 4.6 does good for me!

I am going to get the following mods fairly soon:
CAI - Still haven't made up my mind.
TUNE - Still haven't made up my mind.
EXHAUST - I WANT BORLA. That is the best sounding system I have heard so far.

This car is the PREMIUM GT so it has the Microsoft Sync system and all of the "bells and whistles" so that is why I went for it instead of a 2011.

I'd recommend a CAI/tune combo from American Muscle or Brenspeed. Don't bother with canned SCT tunes. Not worth it.

Oh and take that dealer plate off Nice car

What are canned SCT tunes?

Haven't taken the dealer plate off because in Colorado you have to have a front plate. If I take it off and just leave it blank, I would attract more attention that I don't need!

Def. going to tint the windows in the next 2 weeks, as well..

They're basically generic tunes. If you're going to go for a tune, get a good custom one from one of the vendors I suggested. There's a difference between a generic e-mail tune and a custom one. Trust me.

Oh okay...How is the Delta Force tuner? One of my friends has one of them for his and I guess you can add another car for $200 or something like that and get a custom tune. What do you think?

Also, what CAI do you reccommend?

Haven't heard of Delta. The popular handhelds are SCT and Diablo, respectively. I have a SCT (SF3) and it's very easy to use and supported by pretty much all tuners

Performance-wise there's not much difference between CAIs. As long as it's a tune-required intake you'll be good to go. The non-tune required intakes don't really do squat by themselves and are known to throw a CEL. Flip a coin or pick which one you like the looks of. I always speak very highly of my JLT
