Default New to ponies, but not the oval

Hi, name is Mike.
Tomarrow i will be picking up my second Ford, and first ever Mustang. She is a 2000 V6 manual. I know it's not the fastest, but I did score an excellent deal on her, and have wanted this body style since I first layed my eyes on one.
I had a Focus hatch a couple years back that I autocrossed with. Had all the bolt-ons and Stg. II Comp Cams, but just wasn't fast enough. Sold her for a 95 T/A with a blown engine. Rebuilt the engine on the T/A and loved the car, but sadly I felt off about her and decided to sell her. Well, I've fallen far and picked up a GST Eclipse. Yes I know. I have regretted it ever since. Found the Mustang last week on Craigslist, and just fell in love-


Well Ford, I'M BACK!! and I can honestly say, I have missed my home!

Looking foward to another long beautiful friendship. lol.

anyways, good to be here, and I look foward to all that comes-

heres the old Focus just to tease-

welcome. nice stang.
first thing you should do is move that spoiler back a few inches.
with just a few mods you can really wake that thing up.

Thank You, I have been looking at the write up for moving the spoiler back. I think I might do it this weekend, lol. The car has an exhaust alread, I'm not sure if it's just the Y-pipe back, or from the cats, I'll have to find out. I've been browsing the V6 section and think an intake will be the first engine mod. Maybe port the TB a little for throttle response.
