    Nice, car but i would change the rims and get the car lowered. Also the exhuast looks like it might be the factory upgraded FRPP exhuast. Next, your 3v from the factory makes i think 300hp and 320tqr which is the same as my car. The intake and exhaust really dont help all that much. Even more so with the car still running the stock h-pipe with cats. What you need to do is look into lowering the car, short shifter, tune, full exhaust system, gears if you dont like the stock 3:55( i think)! this would be a good start and not all that expensive!

He said he also thought there was aftermarket suspension work done...but I think it's just that it's a GT.

    Anyways, 2006 Mustang GT, 5spd, 4.6, tungsten grey. I'm gonna say there's no aftermarket stuff done.

    Future plans? Well...looking for some hot tips from those already in the game. First thing will probably be an alarm and hidden radar detector. I don't know yet if I wanna do looks or performance or suspension. PROBABLY speed, first. Any suggestions where to start? It's supposedly running 300whp right now. First goal is 400. If I'm happy I'll stop, if not, I'll bump for 500. Just kinda NOT wanting to face gas prices...

    Anyways, here she is.

    Yeah, unfortunately, I didn't really get to look into it. I just kinda smiled, nodded, signed the papers and left.

    I really like the wheels that are on it...but being that they're factory and I saw another one with the same rims the day I drove her home, I want something different. Just gotta find something I like... What's the diff/how can you tell the 3v from the 2v? I've never assumed the exhaust and intake to improve performance...just prepare for a performance making part and/or to improve sound. I definitely wanna drop it...eh...2inches or so. But I wanna find a suspension set up that's either adjustable, or comfortable yet sporty. I'll probably avoid the short shifter as I've never been a fan of them. Too easy to miss gears if you let someone else drive it...but we'll see with time. Is it really worth it to tune it while it's just a stock motor...? What exhaust systems are recommended? As for the gears...I want speedy pickup, but I also have to take in mind the cost of gas and gas mileage because I'll be on the highway more than enough time...
