Just picked up the strut bar, ebay $70.00. Dumped the JLT CAI, kept the SCT tune and the car runs like u wouldnt believe! The tuner and the 93 Octane with the dual exhaust makes that motor scream.... and its a 4.0! You know, the motor everyone luvs to hate. I got rid of the 4.6 GT to buy this one, dont regret it at all, yeah the 4.6 was faster. Sucked more gas and the insurance was higher but I made a profit on it so bye-bye GT. Luv my 2010 Pony.

Certainly looks good! Is it really 14 years old already?? Why does time fly when you own cars? The model years just zip by. I can't believe my '14 is 10 years old. How??
Went to a Mustang only car show today. I was all fired up about going but only stayed an hour. I've never seen so many supercharged cars in my life. These people had to dump tens of thousands into these Stangs. LED lights everywhere, thumper stereo. Air brushed paint. Everyone had a sign in front with their car specs on it. They pitched a canopy to wait for 5 hours hoping for a trophy. I thought... I'd rather be driving my car than sitting there so off I went.

I hope you were not intimidated. Yes, these car shows can make you feel like you own nothing special at all, but when I attend I appreciate every car I see unless it's dirty and not loved. More power to the folks with the big $$$ but also more power to the stock folks with clean rides. I enjoy them all.
When You Are At a Car Show You Are Just One of Many! Out on The Road and at The Filling Station is Where You Get The Thumbs Up Attention Anyway. A Car Show With All Mustangs is Great For Idea's Good & Bad, You See Both And Know What Works For You and What Does not and it Does Not Cost The Bucks To Try!
Also just showing up and walking around without having to show something can be more relaxing, satisfying and less work. Then you get to leave at your own convenience and don't have to wait around to find out your tickets are losers anyhow.
I agree, car shows are not for everyone. Some get hooked on the prize, others on socializing. I like to attend to practice my "social skills"...I do this by making a simple request: "Tell me about your car"....then just sit back and listen to the story. I have found out that no matter how you look or what color you are, when you make that simple request....all barriers come down and the conversation ensues...many stories are fascinating...
For sure.....
