Default Hello from Illinois

Hey All,

I have posted a few times but wanted to add some pictures today, this is my tenth Mustang, have owned a 66, 67, 86, 89, 90, 93, 98,03, 05, and this 08.

I must say this 08 is the best yet!! I bought the car last year when they had 0% percent financing, I had to pull the trigger. It's a candy apple red premium, with HIDs, red leather, SAT radio, and it had the optional 18" painted fan blades.

I then added the Ford Racing handling package and Ford Racing Drag package that included a reprogram, cold air, Hurst shifter, Shorty ceramic headers, 4:10 gears. I decided the HO Whipple Supercharger and some Hot Rod cams would be the next steps. I also added some CS 18" wheels and Nitto drag radials. I knew I would forget something, also added some KR mufflers and love em!! I had some GTA's in the pictures, those are now for sale.

Thanks for taking the time to look and take care.

Welcome to the forum! I'm also not a fan of the Cobra badge and think you should get a shorty antenna. Otherwise everything else looks good! Congrats.
