Default New owner of a 2004 Mach I... now what?

Never ever owned a Ford much less a Mach I. I have built Mopars and Oldsmobiles, but never so much as popped open a hood of a 'Stang.

I was in the market for a GTO when I came across this Orange car with a hood scoop. The dealer tells me that not only is that a hood scoop, but a functional one at that.... that peaked my interest.

I was some what reluctant but took the 5sp out for a test drive...

It's now parked in my driveway.....need I say more.

So... just what would be my first step into improving the already great performance of the Mach I?

This is going to be fun....

Welcome! The mach 1 is an excellent stang, and a legendary one at that! If you want some help modding, check out our 4.6 section-- they'll be able to direct you to what you need.
