Default New to the forum, new to the stang

Hi!
(AA stlye introduction)
My name is Scott, and i have a problem, I can't go more than 30 mins without thinking about cars.

I'm new to this forum and to Mustangs, also this is my first NA car, I've always had turbos.

The car is a '17 GT with the PP, I've had it for a month and done the following so far
-black vinyl roof wrap
-gt350 power button
-track alignment
-barton short shifter
-zl1 addons front and rear tow hooks
-magnaflow catback
-dtc-30 brake pads
-Ford racing power pack stage 2

the car feels fantastic, tons of power and it seems to handle really well. Next weekend I'll be taking it to Global Time Attack at Buttonwillow, so the true test comes then.

Here's crappy pics of the stang and a couple of my previous car

Welcome to the forums, really nice car, I love the new blue, how much for the roof wrap?
If you are going to track it look into the Steeda rear end shims and braces, have heard good things about them.

Thanks! Bought 2 rolls of the 3m 1080 on amazon, about $60 each pr something like that. Wrapped the subaru and this roof on my own, the mistang is extremely easy compared to others since nothing has to be removed.
I'll check those out, I haven't even heard of those parts yet

Cool so way cheaper than having Ford paint the roof black.
Sorry Steeda calls them bushings not shims, my bad, but Steeda always has cool stuff

Also, it looks the previous owner did the steeda diff bushings and boomba rear vertical links lol

Very nice, welcome to the board. We also have an STi, both are a blast to drive. But I have to admit, my STi is not set up quite like yours is. LOL.

Yep the grip from the subaru is unbelievable but overall i feel like the mustang is going to be much better on track
