Also I know quite a few women and men who dont dog their rides at all. They take it real nice and easy with them. A lot of people will get cars like this Termi just for the looks of it. Not to race everybody out there.
I have a friend that bought a 2006 Stang V6. He then went a spent another $2,500-$3,000 on performance parts for it. The reason why he did that was because insurance was cheaper for it. The mods he done to it was a Procharger, Headers w/ dual exhaust, bigger injectors, and a computer tune. His HP range went way up with just those mods done. He also bought som other accessories for the interior and exterior of the car too.
To bad your not in TN. I could show you a few things about Mechanic work and Auto Body too
after the mods does it sound like a v8?? I would love all the hp I can get but its that sound I want?

He got a Borla exhaust and it sounded really good. It was nice at an idle and then when he got on it a little bit you heard it.

Would really love to get a new one just for the six spd...never driven one of those before

Might I recommend staying away from a termi? I know I am fashionably late for the party but a GT will be FAR less expensive on a termi especially since it is your first Mustang and possibly your first powerful car considering you said you had a Matrix I believe. Go for a S197 GT 2007+ put on some FR500S mufflers and your good to go and can learn on your car that way and its awesome to work on your own car.
Diana likes my new mufflers ... Her exact words I believe were it lost the V6 sound and has a nice rumble to it and they are LOUD
Also what about going to UTI? They have the Ford FACT training program, if you go there do you think that the dealers would treat you like you knew nothing? I see that they say a lot of dealers hire from people who graduate the program since it is Ford factory training.
