One year, 12,600 miles

...and I still like it.

Today marks the 1 year anniversary of the day I brought the car home. I'm going to celebrate with headers, x-pipe, CAI/tuner, gears, and driveshaft.

congrats. i would do more research on the headers. I have found a number of sources that say the stock heads are better than after market ones. if you want to boost hp get yourself a tuner a CIA and an 85MMthrottle body.
I have those and a ford racing x-pipe and gt 500 muffler. I just pulled 416 rwhp on my 2012 GTCS. it had 395 lbs of torque. The nice thing is it is very responsive.

No, I researched what it would take as far as affected systems and the money involved. You can buy a used GT for just a little more than the cost of a swap using all new parts. In five years, it would be considered "feasible", but just barely, and only if you used a vanilla coyote motor from Ford Racing.

I'm glad that you still enjoy your ride. It's got to be one of the best V6 Mustangs I have ever seen. Good decision on the swap.

7 Months / 9000 miles and she still makes me smile.

8 months and 1100 miles here. I still just sit outside staring at it. Don't think I could be happier about a car. I just need to stop looking at pictures of cars on this forum. I am trying to stop modding my car. Yes, I know it won't happen.

Flag, I didn't know you sold it. What do you have now? A Shelby? Lol




For me, 17 months of owning her, just crossed 4k miles. I still get shivers when see her in the garage. She is absolutely stunning to look at, and when I drive her, I get weak in the knees.
