Another Mustang NOOB

I've been lurking here for a while as I've been contemplating my next vehicle. I've been doing lots of reading regarding what everyone has to say about Mustangs.Through whatreviewsI've read,having spent several miles behind thewheel of a few 07 GTs,afew weeks ago I made up my mind that I'm getting an 08 GT!! I'm going to wait another 5-6 weeks before I go pick it up just so that we can finish paying off my wifes car first. But this forum has been pretty integral in helping me make up my mind...

My dad is on his 3rd Mustang, a 2007 GT and he's been a big influence on me in getting one. Two of my very good friends have 07 GTs and I've helped them install Helion Turbos and it's really helped me get into Mustangs!

So, just wanted to say hello,introduce myself and say I can't wait to get my GT. I don't plan on going the turbo route but I have been looking at the Steeda Powerpaks and will probably go with the Borla Stinger axel back system along with dropping the rear an inch.

I'll post pics once I get it (Torch Red)

Unless you have your heart set on the new body style... you might want to consider a 02-04 Cobra 320HP these stock sound like GTs with upgraded exhaust.

I never knew Cobras Hp went higher than 320. I do know that some 99-00's produced a low 280-90HP.

RE: Another Mustang NOOB

I'm definitely getting a new one. Not neccessarily for the body style (I like both styles alot) but more because I've had bad luck with used cars in the past and plan on keeping this car for a long time...

Besides, I love the new car smell...
