Default I'm new to the American Car world...

What's up everyone, my custom ordered 2007 Mustang GT Coupe should be shipped to my dealer in the middle of September and I can't wait. I never had an American car before nor have I ever driven one but for some reason I decided to go with the new Mustang. My last car was a Nissan Altima V6 (pretty quick for a sedan).

It's automatic "Automatic Weapon" and I plan on doing some modifications to it (nothing out of this world so It can be a good daily driver). I chose automatic because I can't drive manual and I don't think it would be practical for the BRONX, NY. Plus I don't plan on racing it around turns and what not (only drag racing at the track and at stop lights...in other words...straight lines).

I read a few posts here and there and you all seem pretty cool (and very helpful) so I'm happy to be a part of this forum. If you want to know more about me...check out my MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/49054931. When the car comes in and I start hooking it up...I'll show you.

I plan on getting a CAI Intake system, throttle body, headers and full exhaust system. Would anyone be able to let me know what the best brands are for each of the above items (quality, proven performance, etc...). I know of a few brands but the ones I know focus mainly on imports. I don't care if the brand is expensive as long as I know I'm getting something of HIGH QUALITY. Let me know your thoughts...please....thanks!

Keep in mind the car is automatic...thanks again!
