My latest pics, from yesterday at my local Club's meet. The GF and I took both our cars, which made for an interesting drive there and especially back





























An automatic, Kenne Bell-boosted Mach 1:





And last but certainly not least, a friend of mine's '08 Shelby, recent recipient of a 2.8L Kenne Bell and a "base" 700 RWHP tune

 

Nice pics gabe I'm glad you're enjoying your new found power.

 

I miss posting good pics . I'll try to take some good ones with my Nikon this Saturday during our first monthly cars and coffee in ankeny. Any Iowans out there on this forum? April 12th, Karl's performance in ankeny, 7 - 10 am.

 

I didn't know there was a cars and coffee around here. I'm in Johnston.

I'll be starting a 48 hour shift, so I won't be able to make it - plus my new GT isn't here yet. I'd bring the SVO out when I get it cleaned up, though.

 

Oh yeah man... It's the biggest cars and coffee in the state. They're expecting 200-300 cars if the weather is nice. Also, I actually scheduled to be part of the Dyno shootout. 50 bucks for two pulls and I finally get to see the numbers that I'm putting down.

 

Looking good!

Gotta love that Zaino shine!

 

Thanks! I still have mixed feelings about the hood scoop. I guess it because it was I mod I had no say in. Lol

 

Patrick... You know I love you, sir... But tbh, I'm not feeling the scoop. It's nonfunctional and detracts from the overall clean lines of the car. It's tacked on and looks tacked on. Since you mentioned you have mixed feelings on it, then I know it must be somewhat bothering you too.

 

I think it disrupts the lines as the hood bulge contours move towards the window while the scoop moves in the opposite direction.

It is drilled though I'll have to live with it.

It came with window louvers. Those didn't last three days before I yanked them off. Lol

 

I think the scoop looks better if you were to black it out. Then you don't see the separation line between the scoop and hood. JMO

 

 

Exactly. It's the seam line that hurts the look.

But still, car had only 5k on the OD.

I sweet talked it for the price of a V6. I can't complain. My wife buying a 14 Escape the same day certainly helped my cause. I could never swing a new one.

I laughed when I discovered that the dealership sold my old base 11 V6 with 36k on the OD for what I paid for this one! They sold it in 3 days. Go figure.

I'm still getting to know the car. My main issue is getting the front bumper replaced because of the license bracket. More on that to come.

 

wow, those didn't last in service very long at all. how cheap did you get it?

 

I saw one on Saturday! The yellow is more highlighter yellow than it looks in pictures. Nice find!

 

It went into service 7/22/13 and ended up in my hands 3/1/14.

 

pretty badass! I can totally overlook the fact that they're all automatics for the coolness that they are.

 

Not a great photo, but they're both clean - waiting for their sister to arrive!

One of the benefits of working 24 hour shifts and having an ambulance broken down, I get to use the garage:

 

Detailed... 1 coat of 4star UPP, then Fuzion. Getting ready for alignment tomorrow then car show Saturday.

 

Was sunny and warm out today. Those tires are great, great around the curves.

 

I'm really jealous. Wish my car could be in the garage, and not be on primary duty. One of the things I hate the most about DD status is that I can't baby my car like you do yours.
