Camera battery died on me while shooting the first pics of it, so when it's recharged I'll load em up.

Anyways....some can say I switched to the dark side, but you could have said that when I bought a Honda for a DD instead of an American.

It's an 06 Mustang GT w/ 38k on the clock. Roush supercharger, Corsa catback, short throw shifter, and a tacky fake hoodscoop which will come off tomorrow. My only plans for this car are as follows: Elanor style grill, chin spoiler, roush wing, and maybe a set of nice wheels.

The car is in damn good shape and I love it. I was very impressed with how smooth the power is put down, how smooth it rides, and how well it handles. I got to drive it for a good 50-60 miles before I purchased it, which was prolly a huge factor in me buying the car. I had been searching up and down for a CTS-V or a GTO and E36 M3 kept hitting the fan with those purchases. Went to the auction and only one GTO and it wasn't really what I wanted in a GTO, found this car and had it the same day.

Pics will be up soon, sorry!

Well at least it's supercharged. Sounds awesome to me! Is it faster than the T/A?

Like I said the pics aren't that great, yesterday I couldn't find my 18-55 lens and today the battery dies. I'm losing my mind because I'm enrolled in 12 credit hours during a summer semester and I graduate in 3 weeks and going nuts. Better pics will come.

No where near as fast as the T/A, but it pulls and is a blast to drive.

If you don't mind me asking... How much? Looks pretty good, I even like the stripes. Needs different wheels though.

I've got a set of 17inch bullit style at the house that one of our family friends bought and never used and said we could have them. But I dunno how they'll look, they are for the previous model stang.

That second pic (of the first set) with the night sky....man that's a nice shot. If it had a bit more deail of the car visible I'd be making that my wallpaper. With the orange streetlight and the blue sky as a backdrop, man it looks nice!

Beautiful. I really like that generation of Mustangs. You mentioned a Roush wing. I'd vote for no wing. I think they look killer when they are hunkered down with no wing.

How about the ride height? Are you going to make any changes?

Does anyone else not really car if the cams in your car are so extreme they rattle your teeth in traffic? I find it... exhilarating? My track Miata is my DD.

I like it, I never realized the Mustang had a 4WD option Once you pick up Fidos fecal funk you should lower that bitch!

The backspacing on the previous model wheels (Sn95) is different than your car's wheels (S197) Your donated Bullitt wheels will stick out of the fenders.

You see the trans am in front of the Mustang in the first set of pictures? It shakes the earth, not just your fillings.

As far as ride height, wheels, etc. Wheels are the next possibility, ride height...I dunno. I have a ride already that jars the spine enough with the stiffness. This is a DD remember?!?!
