Ok first the 3.7 has no comparison to the 4.0 as far as i'm concerned and what I mean by that is the only thing the 4.0 had over the 3.7 was more immediate off the line torque or at least that's what the butt dyno tells me. However maybe its just that I haven't launched all that hard yet.
As for keeping it you all know I've gone through 5 mustangs with this being my sixth since becoming a member on here I can say I like this one a lot*especially the color which just keeps getting better looking to me* and I really don't plan on trading it in unless ford changes their mind and decides to make the ecoboost available with a paddle shifted auto trans*the wife approves of that combo
Thanks for all the props, and Darren long time no talk bro to answer your question yes the tires are all 245/45/20 hankook v12 evo's, which I can say after already putting over one hundred miles on them over the last few days I'm impressed with their ride quality/handling and noise levels. My wife agrees with me on that the car actually seems smoother than with the stock wheel/tire combo. Now when I lower it in a few days I have a feeling that won't be the case anymore, but my 2010 with the same springs on 35 series tires was actually pretty smooth riding just harsh over things like potholes/speed bumps railroad tracks etc so I hope with the 45 series sidewall for a smooth and not to harsh ride but with lowering the back right at 2" we'll see

I think so, I didn't watch the guy he told me he does 3-8 coats max and that the stuff he uses costs $26 a can. He came and got me after 5 coats and I said its dark enough man let it dry and took some pics I like it but would have preferred that it be just a little lighter like 4 or even 3 coats but he didn't come get me until he'd already done 5 so all well

First page updated with new lowered pics next up takeoff 2011 complete front&rear gt500 brake kit w/red G2 brake caliper paint, i'm looking at changing to a custom mid muffler exhaust using 24" resonators with 4" slash cut rolled edge resonated tips then adding a shift **** the powerdome graphics and i'm done for now anyways or until the bank account recovers lol
