YO! (I'm originally from Philly...)

The first time I nailed it in the Stang, I felt like a teenager again driving one of the '60's/'70's muscle cars. Definately a woody.

First time I drove was my friend's 07 GT auto. Was pretty exciting for me having not driven anything decently quick for a very long time. Nothing but 100hp or less cars for 15 years. lol

My family is from rural PA and Ohio.....they pronounce it "yunz"

I test drove mine with the salesman in the car, so I took it easy. When I got it home though....I was pretty impressed with the power. It fades fast though. The CAI took care of it for a while, then the 4.10s...and now I am kinda bored again. I want to supercharge but I don't have the money. Ho hum.

Maybe I can petition the government for a supercharger fund bailout.

actually, it wasnt much, kind of a "w/e" thing for me... mainly because my 97 Z28 had more rwhp and rwtq than the mustang did (my mustang was messed up, its fixed now =P...of course i didn't know that at the time though)

At least you didn't get rid of Bucephalus!

P.S. We will have to organize the next "Mustang Mania" cruise without Walker for the time being.


I can't remember when the first time I really got on it was. Then again, the first time I floored it, I was probably in too high of a gear and it just kind of ambled up to sufficient RPM. I REALLY didn't understand the finer points of manual driving when I first picked my car up off the lot...

The first time I really stepped on it was a few days before I bought mine when the saleman I was working w/ let me take a used GT home for 24 hours to help me decide. I put about 100 miles on that car just driving around and going to work beating the hell out of it. Needless to say, the next day when I returned it, I signed the paperwork for mine.

The fisrt time i thought it was ok...When i finally got the **** grin was when i installed the SC. I said "self, NOW WERE TALKING!!!" still not quite there but getting a whole lot closer. I guess what didnt help was prior to the musting I rode a 04 R1. That was a hoot!!!
