Greetings to all - Bought my first Mustang about 3 weeks ago after 37+ years of first wanting one in high school. Mid-life crisis? Naw! Just REALLY wanted one after all these years.

I have a 2007 Tungsten GT w/ low miles. Four boxes of stuff on the way from American Muscle already. My neighbor across the street has a tricked out '05 GT so I feel obliged to put some pressure on him...you know, lower, louder, badder...

No doubt, I will have some questions along the way and I'm glad I found this first-rate forum.

Best to all of you!

Yeah, you're absolutely right! FASTER! I may have to supercharge this thing to get there, though. He's got a lot of trick things going on.

God bless him for giving me the motivation I need, right?

Cold air intake, Pypes Violators (catback), tuner, smoked headlight & tail light covers, Eibach springs, black front turn indicators. You know, the basic essentials that we can't poss live w/o.

If I didn't have to work I'd be sitting on the doorstep waitin' for it...

supercharging is never a bad idea idk much about how the new 3vs respond to what s/cers tho i suppose you would find your answer in the s197 section.

For sure, I will be reading everything in the MF threads about SC do's & dont's. Would like to do it in the next 6 months - that's about how long I figure I'll be able to stand the guy across the street knowing he has the drop on me.

This could get really ugly. I'm thinking that unless his wife prevents him from responding to my play, we'll both end up with 700 HP supercharged nitrous rigs that have been lightened, poked, prodded and coaxed into warp speed capability...

His wife holds the key. If she lets him respond, there is no end in sight. Mine doesn't care if I shoot for 1,200 HP. I love her for that.
