Wow! I like it so far...
Hey all. I'm not good with the intro stuff, so...
I just bought a 2006 GT Coupe with short miles. It was immaculately maintained and came with every receipt from the owner.
I'm moving on from a 1990 Eclipse that had nearly everything done to it except the block, front intercooler, and nitrous. It was a quick, quick car. It outran many, many vehicles, except for an L06 Corvette and some dude in a Honda that had a turbo *and* nitrous...Now it sits, looking longingly at the red metallic of the GT, wishing for some attention.
Before those cars, I had a '78 Datsun 280z, and an '84 300zx, an '83 Nissan Sentra Diesel (78 MPG, really), and an '85 CRX. I really loved the 280z. Now, I love the Sentra, may she RIP.
Nonetheless, I really appreciated the design of the 2005-2010 Mustang when they came out. It made me think of the earlier designs, but modern...so when the opportunity came along to **** off my wife, I took it, reluctantly as my wife isn't fun when she's mad.
Right now, it isn't as quick as the Eclipse, but with time...bwahahahaha!!!!!
The first step is getting some speakers that add some mids and highs. Have to have decent sounds.
Next...well, we'll see, but I'm thinking springs, head work, X exhaust, intake, nitrous...NOT that it needs a ton of improvement, but quick is good. Especially when there are EIGHT squirrels running under the hood instead of four...As often argued by my brother-in-law, there is no replacement for displacement. And this car begs to go Vrrooooooommmmmm.
G'day!
