Hatchman, your car in it's stock form looks exactly like the one I use to drool over back in 05, a year and a half before I got mine. Someone who worked in the mall I used to deliver freight to, owned it. After my delivery, I would pull my truck over to where it was parked, look and smile at that car for 30 whole minutes dreamin of the day I'd finally get mine! Man, what memories!

Brad, that is one sweet ride man..... seriously..... I love that color- actually it's my wife's fave too, that's what she wanted but I got my way for once and bought blue hahahahaha. Your car is a nice blend of components, that's what I tried to do with my ride. I didn't document much of my suspension or interior upgrades, I'm glad you did. And I'm way jealous of that chrome blower, I'm debating on having the top of my Saleen blower powder coated blue to match the cam covers and rest of the car.

very nice man! I think it's even cooler that you kept track of the car's progress through these series of pictures, which enabled you to share with us.

Thanks again!

I know what you mean. I used to drool over magazine pics while I was out on deployment during my time in OIF. I dreamed about the day I would come back and get one!

Thanks, Tom! A blue Saleen Blower would be sweet!

Your car looks great Tom. Since I first lurked here last year I've lusted for your car, especially its perormance mods. It is very hard to believe it ever started out as that stock photo. You have one of the most identifiablle cars on this thread, and in a good way I might add. Two giant thumbs up and congrats on the 3 year anniversary with your car.

Question,

Does your car have a name? Just curious. This is one of my first cars not to have a name, and after 14 months it seems a little stupid to give it one now.

My '92 GT vert is Gina, and my '06 is Mia. Mia was the 2nd choice as a name for our daughter who is now six years old, so when we got the '06 three years ago it seemed natural. All of my cars are females, for whatever that's worth.

Yeah.. Everyone always says: "What''ll she run? How much power is she putting to the ground or I'll give ya $4500 for her." You know know what I saying right? I haven't had a car with a male name yet.

Looks great Tom!

Great idea on a 3 year tribute thread. I'll have to do the samething once Feb rolls around. I'll show it all, the good, the bad, the ugly, and the 2nd Coming (I mean 3rd).

Pretty cool thread Tom! I was looking at some old pictures of the Roush and how great it looked with the Steeda hood, but I don't regret the switch. Still having fun with the power of the Terminator, and btw I now moved from Vegas to Florida.

You never know, maybe one day there will be a show somewhere in between that we both attend.

Looks like your Sept. mod list is extensive. Keep us posted on the Cam results.
