Me and my wife took the stang out to a local car show lastnight to show off a bit.
Its amazing how you still get so many compliments on these cars. So while we were there we asked if we could enter our car in the show and they said sure no problem. So here are some pics of me doing what I do best and thats cleaning the stang

Was a really nice night and got to talk to another 05 stang vert owner. I asked them if I pulled my car up next to theirs and could take a picture, but they didnt seem to interested in that really. I hate meeting some stang owners that get a little cocky. I asked them if they were members of this forum and they said no so I told them about this site and they had a whatever attitude so much for that

Nice job on taking home a trophy.

I know what you mean about other '05 owners. I was merging on an on-ramp at the same time as another '05 GT here in Redmond (separate on-ramps to the same highway that merge). Anyway, I know he saw me and as we pulled along side, I gave a wave, cheerful smile and thumbs up....waved again....waved again. Nothing. He wouldn't even glance over. So, whatever. Drive along a little farther and he's getting off at the exit for Microsoft. Ah, that explains it.

Anyway, how do you like the K&N set-up? I had not seen good pictures of it until now. It really looks great.

Great job! Congrats on the trophy. I think they weren't friendly because they were viewing you (and apparently, rightfully so) as competition. Sweet car!!

I can't get to the pics in your posts, but I have seen pics of your car in other threads................Hands down it is the best looking GT I have seen. Just enough mods..not too much and not over the top.

I paid 499 for the K&N + predator as a package deal from RPM outlet
and was worth every penny IMO.
The predator alone is close or around 400.00 and I seen places selling the K&N for around 200.00

Nice Pics

The Chin Spoiler? Is it the Classic or Agressive version from CDC?
