Not New to MF but First Mustang!
Hello all! I've been a member for quite a few years now, mostly lurking. I've been in love with Mustangs since my senior year of high school when my best friend (at the time) bought a brand new 2001 Bullitt. My previous car history includes 1993 Nissan Altima (Auto), 1995 Altima (5spd), 1990 Nissan 240sx 2.4L with Supra turbo, 2008 Nissan Sentra SpecV and now I have the Mustang. Here's the story.
Had to visit the family out of town. On the way there I decided to buy a car. 2008 Ford Mustang GT, 34k miles, FRPP Performance Package and FRPP FR3 handling package installed on it. Bullitt front grill and factory spoiler delete option.
Well after a short vacation we came back to town and decided to Auto-X today. It was a blast. I am definitely not used to the power and the size of this vehicle coming from the Sentra but I did not spin, I did not hit any cones today so I was pleased. The factory 235/55r17 Pzero Nero's absolutely suck even at 42psi they rolled over and slid under any load. The suspension is very stable and responsive. Last run of the day I decided I was just going to fudge around a little, left it in first gear and just started jumping in the gas and kicking the rear out quite a bit, of course it ended up my fastest time by .3.... Go figure, here are some pics one of the regulars took.

Thank you all, though it does feel awkward when I've been a member longer than everybody who's welcoming me to the forums..
I should return the favor..
