well i guess at 23 im proud to say i got the Lightning, Shelby GT and R1. but the deal is going through now. I am in the process of private party selling the Lightning and the bike, then trading it in on a 07 grabber orange GT500. I really wanted the white w/blue stripes, but the price is great on the orange and it has 745 miles on it. just wanted to share my excitement with you guys. but reading the baseline dyno results did make me read twice

I'm 32 and the hubby ( 07 s197) is only 23, and we both are mod-a-holics!! I have a few more upgrades for the GT500, then savings begins for his block for the GT since he can't safely upgrade anymore

Don't feel bad..I'm 54 and still crazy. This is my 3rd mid-life crisis! Leave green for the tree-huggers. I want a large displacement, carbon burning, screaming V8.

I'm 56 and had to have one more toy. I just got my 5th Mustang,my first was in 74 I got a 67 Fastback this time a 14 3.7 Basic model and added one mod then the rest is history I'm hoping to run 12.9 with it. I have 6000 miles on it and the reason I went for it is that I called Ford Dealer and talked to the Service Dept. Manager and asked about the Bama Tuner if it would void my warranty? He stated only if it was proven to be the cause of engine failure. I asked how many Mustangs had engine failure due to the Bama Tuner? He stated he never had one come in with engine failure due to the Tuner. Last I asked if he had a new Mustang what would he do? He stated he would go for it !
So I'm having a lot of fun and can't wait to see what I will do at 70, God willing. Just think a 2017 Pony , maybe !
