Thanks y'all, I still have my '13 GT Track Pack, bought new August 11th, 2012, special-ordered June '12, supercharged since about 2014-2015.
Don't drive it as much as I'd like anymore, but I do also get some time behind the wheel of my wife's Shelby, so I still get some Mustang time
How she usually looks these days:
How she currently looks right now, with the wife's GT500 stock wheels on, with a set of all-season tires on it:
Was hoping to get some new pictures for this re-intro, but still haven't. So rather than wait longer here is my Mustang and the families daily drivers...
2014 sterling gray metallic Roush Stage 2
The daily drivers... Wife's stone white 2012 JGC Overland and My granite crystal metallic 2017 JGC Trailhawk.

Hi, my name's Cavero ...and I'm petroholic (ok really addicted more to modding...but aren't we all). I've been here on the site since...'05 maybe early '06? ... right before I did a dumb thing and ordered a brand new Mustang a few months out of college.
Picked her up 3/16/2006 with 3 miles on her. Was perfectly happy with her until an incident with a slipped jack, and found it was half the price to put Steeda parts on her than it was to go OEM. And then it started...
I used to be a lot more active on the site when I had more projects to do on the car, but as I've run out of affordable things to do on the car I've become more of a lurker, and even then with young kids now I don't have that much time for anything lately.
Here she is when I picked her up from the dealer
And here she sits today, 116K miles on her and more mods than I can list on my signature. Honestly the only thing stock in the driveline are the engine internals and even that might not be staying that way anymore. I SWEAR I can stop if I wanted to...

Looking very sharp. Love what you have done to it! My favorite color combination!
I Saw Your Other Thread! Sorry About the Engine Troubles!
Car Sits Perfect, Mods Are Clean & Just Right! Just Stealthy Fast Looking!
Thanks For Coming in & Sharing a Bit!

Thanks gents! I'm a cheap ***, so whenever I modded I always made it count
Edit -- also forgot to mention, I modelled the paint scheme off the original 2005 NAIA show car, but when I had the stripes painted on, I used Mercedes brilliant silver metallic from my wife's car at the time. It was a good color combo and we were getting married around the same time so it had some symbolism to it too.

No worries, Steve! Oldie but goodie pics are always better than none at all... Love the pics.

Gary! Just want to say glad you're still rocking your 2005 V6 and also thanks for remaining a loyal S197 Mustang owner since 2004 and also welcome back to TMS.
I've still got my '07 Vista blue GT, 143K miles now.
Picture was taken at a car show at a local dealer many years ago, other than some wear and tear this is how it still looks today.
Jay! Thank you for reintroducing your "07" Vista Blue GT and also for remaining a loyal S197 Mustang owner... Congrats on 143k miles, as she looks as good as ever.

Thank you for reintroducing both your "13" GT and your wife's "07-08" GT500 Gabe, as you've always kept them both looking in very excellent shape thru the years... Meanwhile, thanks for also remaining loyal S197 owners...
Mathlin! Couldn't help but notice you've been a legacy member since 2007... However, I honestly don't recall seeing a pic of your 2008 Saleen supercharged GT/CS before, unless I've forgotten since 2007.... Anyway, have you owned the "08" GT/CS since 2007 or did you purchase the car in recent years? Like I said, I don't remember seeing your car posted before, so I was just curious... Meanwhile, I do have a question for you about the Saleen supercharger... By any chance does your Saleen blower make a loud/groaning type noise? I also have the Saleen series VI supercharger on my 2006 GT which has always produced those loud/groaning type noises and was supposedly informed by several people that the noises are normal and that there is no reason for concern... Anyhow, I would like to know from your personal experience as to whether or not you have noticed your Saleen supercharger making any of those type of loud/groaning noises?
In the meantime, thanks for sharing a picture of your 2008 GT/CS convertible with Saleen supercharger, as she looks in very pristine condition... Also, welcome back to the forums.
