This is the first v8 mustang i've ever rode in all the others were v6's. Come on down here man i'm alway's interested in meeting member's from the site. Just bring some gas money and a tent to sleep in the back yard. We even have an outdoor cat you can cuddle with.

Thanks! Pics are welcome. I alway's like seeing pics of a good luckin mustang. I kept my F150 though. It would be hard for me to give up my truck for a car.

Well I found out today that the Xcal2 programmer that came with this car has been custom tuned. I didn't have any luck contacting the previous owner but does anyone know how I can find out what tuner tuned this car? The only tune available is a 93 Octane performance tune. I really need to find out the extense of the mod's done to this thing in case something ever breaks I won't be replacing it with a stock part. I've never driven a stock GT before so it's hard to say just how fast this thing is but if a stock one run's nearly this fast then i've really been underestimating these car's over the years. I know they aren't slow but this thing litterally get's to 130mph in the blink of an eye. I know the speedometer isn't fooling me cause I've compared it to my GPS and it reads 1mph slower than the gps. The g-forces also pin you to the seat hard. I'm in love with this thing!
Dropping the clutch at 2500 and only laying 10' of rubber...nice. I always wanted to get a good set of drag radials when I had mine. Sounds like your having yourself a good ole time with her, so when are you going to drop in a Supercharger?

Search the web for some local Mustang forums and find out what Speed/Performance shops are in your area and who everyone sugest. Once you find some shops call them and if they deal with the Xcal2 they can handle all your needs. If I'm not mistaken I believe they can even e-mail you a new tune at which time you download it to your unit and load it up in the car.
