Talking Finally got my stang!

Well I took delivery of my mustang friday but it's a different one than I originally posted about. The deal kinda went sour on the 07 GT that I originally wanted but I happened to find one the same day that I actually liked better. The one I bought is an 03 GT with 56,210 miles on it now. It had around 55,700 miles on the odometer when I piad for her but I drove up to Hot Springs,AR friday after getting her legal for the road. I was quite satisfied with how things went she ran flawless and got alot of good compliments from the locals. The power is awesome! Even driving her hard I managed to average 20-22mpg on two different tanks of gas. One thing that I liked about the car is that she ain't stock. It has a JLT cold air intake,BBK 70mm throttle body,Trickflow upper air plenum,Steeda short throw shifter,SCT Xcal2 programmer,flowmaster off road true dualed exhaust without convertors,underdrive pullies,shift light,alpine cd player,SVT wheels,Nitto NT555R drag radials size 274/40ZR-17 fronts and 315/35ZR-17 rears. It also has a lowering kit and some other suspension work done to it but I can't tell you what the brand of the stuff is yet. The shocks do say strango and I can see some type of **** on them that you can adjust. I need to put it on a lift to do more investigating. The car run's flawless though rev's out nice and fast. My only complaint is that the car rides fairly stiff but boy will she ever hang a curve I mean point and shoot it drives like it's on rails! The shifting action is nice and smooth. So far i've only had it up too 110 but it got their freaken quick. I know that theirs some other stuff done to this car but i'm gonna call the previous owner tomorrow and get the rest of the info. The factory MACH 1000 watt sound system put's out good sound and the leather seats are pretty comfy too. I paid $11,800 out the door for this car. Here's a couple pic's their were taken at night but don't look too bad.

Thanks man! I am extremely happy with this car. It's a blast to drive and likes to go fast. I haven't raced anyone yet as i'm still trying to get my launches and shifting organized to keep from making a fool out of myself. Even with the drag radials she'll still spin the rear tires through third gear but will hookup pretty easily when I heat the tires a little. First thru fourth gears are pretty close with the 3.73 gears but fifth gear is freaken tall, I guess ford done that to keep the rpm's low when cruising on the highway.

You know when I posted about the red 07 stang that I originally was gonna buy I was dead set on buying black wheels for that car. I love those SVT wheels though and it's gonna be hard for me to part way's with them. I might trade someone these wheels for a set of black ones though if anyones interested.

Thanks! I still think the 05-current body style looks th ebest but like you said theirs just something special about this car. I'm in love with this thing. I have never had so much fun driving a vehicle in my life. It's also cool pulling into a gas station or cruising down the road and it seems like everyone has to turn and look at the car. I also haven't had any cops try to bother me but I don't try to attract any attention either. I obide by the speed limit and keep the exhaust quiet around town. I'm not a big flowmaster fan but this exhaust sounds badazz, it drones pretty bad inside the cab around 75mph though.

This is what I think make's it look good. It's white (always liked white cars/trucks), the headlights, and hood. I think that combination is what makes it look bada$$.
