Back in the saddle again - Black Betty II



Picked up my new 2011 GT premium last night! Black on Black, 400A, electronics package, security package, 3.73 gears, HID, comfort package, Brembos, rear video camera, and accessory package 1.

Quite an upgrade from my last mustang (see sig). Amazing what they have done in the last 6 years. I'll post more pics when I get time.

Perma grin is in place!

Thumbs up Congrats!!!

The black looks great on the new body style.
That accessory pkg. 1 is very sharp looking, good addition.

Nice options, exactly what I would order but I want the glass roof.... anyway, awesome car!

Didn't you have some videos of Bassani setup on your previous S197? Seems like your username sounds familiar from when I bought a Bassani system for my '06 five years ago. Any mods planned for the new ride?

Great color choice. Love it. I have one just like it. Wonder why the tires are different?

Thanks!

Yes I do have some vids somewhere. I ran JBA shorty headers, Bassani highflow cats, their xpipe, and just tips for most of the time I had the car. I'll see if I can find them. I know I posted them on here several years ago, but the links are probably broken.

I had to reach deep in to the pockets for this ride so no major mods immediately. Rrobello is going to tint it for me in the next week or so. After that would be exhaust...probably something similar as I ran before except for headers (leave those stock). Then a CAI w/ tune.

ah who am I kidding. I'm sure there will be more haha.

Congrats. You were brave enough to go black again, huh! I guess it's true what they say. LOL!

Our '05s were pretty similar IIRC. It's been a long time.

These 5.0's are sick!!! Go get a JLT Oil Separator right away. Tons of blow by in these cars even when stock!
