just got back from the drive in. a guy asked me about my car. asked if it was a 5.0 or v6 (lol). told him it was v6 and was modding it and whatnot and he asked what i did and replied with my short list of stuff done to it. funny he asked if it was a 5.0, im not going to call him dumb, but it shows that the newer mustangs are getting attention of the general public, which i think is a good thing. bring on the muscle car wars!!!

I had a couple old guys ask me about my car when I was taking a First Aid course the other week. They were all oogly eyed over the rims/tires(dont know why) and the "amazing" paint. Then they commented on the difference in size of the brakes... which I told them I would have ones close to the same size in the rear but I cant find the brackets needed.

Yeah I've been asked once or twice if my car was a 5.0, and I have the 3.8 badges on the side haha.

New sig is actually from a low res pic taken by a co worker on my away across the causeway heading off the Key after work last Fri. Shrink it own, turn it BW and crop it - not too bad lol.
My pics are in. I could find good interior pics


Wish I had a clear version of the same shot to start with.

Serious for a stock car, yes.
Faster than a SC'd 4.2L that went on a diet.... we'll see.
