Thanks a lot everyone. I feel like I'm dreaming. I never thought this day would come. I can't describe how HAPPY I am!

You have no idea. In the first day that I've had her I've installed the Borla/FRPP Stingers, Ford plenum cover, Strange strut tower brace, red welting, SHR cup holder bezel, Mustang decal on dash, and the magnetic trunk blackout.

They (like alot of dealers) have put together "special" performance packages, they deam theirs the "Cobra Jet", in one of your pictures you can see the front half of a silver Cobra Jet. Since the Tasca's own the name "Cobra Jet" they can use the emblems and name which ever way they want. The package basically intails a saleen S/C, suspension, and some cervini's and CDC styling pieces.

Nice choice on the dealer, best around! Im sure while you were there you took a look at some of the GT500's they have!

Just to pass along to my uncle...how was your transaction and did you use an x-plan or anything like that? Who was your sales guy?

OH! and PS....they dont pay their sales staff on commission...the dealer will send you a survey in 30 days, be sure to fill it out. They only get paid if you fill it out and are "satisified", after all...their slogan is "you will be satisfied" so be sure to fill it out! If you ever need (or anyone in RI) needs some coupons for oil changes, etc. let me know I have all the PDF's I give to friends, and I can just shoot you one via email!
My transaction was stupendous. George Shakel took care of me and my dad. We've known him for years, and have been part of the Tasca "family" for 30 years. My dad bought his 77 Cougar from em back then.

You are correct sir!

Oh don't worry Sese, I most certainly did not. Check out the link in the first post for some updated pics and a couple of vids comparing the stock exhaust with the Stingers. Stingers are definitely my favorite mod so far.

Hey Kev, congrats on the car, great choice of color! My brother's body shop does work with Tasca and he was up there when your car came off the truck. He told me that he saw the "twin" to my car roll in and I mentioned that a TMS member from Bristol was expecting his soon.

I bought mine at Tasca too.....nice, easy, perfect transaction and the second Mustang in a row that I bought there. My parents were big Tasca fans, in fact I have my Dad's 1982 Lincoln Mark VI that he ordered from Bob Tasca, Sr. My father passed away ten years ago, but the Lincoln is still sitting in storage in his garage with 17,000 miles on the clock.

I'm thinking of the Stingers too so I'd really like to meet up and hear how they sound vs. my stock exhaust side-by-side. I have the GT Appearance Package on my car - the tips are a little different than stock (they're rolled) but I don't think there's any difference in the sound vs. stock. I'll send you a PM with my phone number.
