08 GT... Here we go.....

[PONYGRL]

Figured I'd go ahead and start a thread for my car, as it is a project in process. I have had it just about 2 weeks now, and like it besides the fact that it eats gas..... Lots more power than my Acura.

Here are some stock pics of my car for starters-

Yesterday, Chris also bought me:

-K&N off road intake
-Roush matte black rear wing
-Roush matte black hood scoop
-CDC sequential tail lights
-Roush stripe kit w/black out panel

I also picked up some Roush pedals last week.

Chris got a sweet carbon fiber dash kit for his car too, intake manifold cover and sequential tail light kit. I think it looks badass so I'd like to get the same kit for my GT.

Once all this is installed, I'll go from there. Speaking of which, does anyone on here do stripe kits or know who I should go to? I was told the ones I have are very tedius and that someone with EXPERIENCE must install. I have the stripes the whole length of the car on both sides, stripe up the hood that goes in front of and behind the scoop, as well as on the rear.

I am going to buy a new tuner or use Chris' hyperpac when he gets it back...since I could use one now.

What do ya think of my start so far?

[BradleyGT]

Seems like a pretty good start. Do you have a clip so we can hear the new exhaust??

[PONYGRL]

Nope but I'll get one tonight ;)

I took it for a test drive last night and it'll def take getting used to. Sounds like a freakin' racecar to me and gave me a headache... keep in mind I had driven an Acura RSX Type-S for 2 years straight...

[Stangman]

The headache will go away :D

Heck, the only quiet car's i have now are the ones that don't have engines!

[PonymanfiveO]

Wow, lots of goodies already!

[MustangChuck]

Yeah if you want to improve gas mileage and horsepower get yourself the SCT Tuner and have the guys at Cincy Speed tune it for you. Right now I am getting about 302 HP and 322 lbs./ft. of torque at the wheels after all the mods I did and I get about 22-24 MPG on the highway. Not too shabby for a V-8 lol.

[DeckerEnt]

Coming along Nicely Stacey!!! Looks great. Kevin could probably do the stripe kit for you. Bribe him with a scarf or something. LOL!!!!
Keith

[KobraII]

Nice. Exhaust on any car really makes it a different animal. I've never heard the Roush mufflers though

[firestang70]

Pretty sure they are rebadged FRRP Stingers (thats what I have) which are rebadged Borlas. Confused??? :lol:

So the Roush mufflers may be Borla? Gotcha. I have the Ford Racing Borla Muffler on my Escort. Gives it a nice growl

[plattner01]

[plattner01]

[plattner01]

[PONYGRL]

Thanks guys. I still don't know if I like the sound though. Too much of a drone, but maybe it will grow on me.

[Stangman]

You could always just do Flowmasters :bigthumb

Never Thought I'd hear "growl" and Escort in the same sentence! :lol:

[Black92LX]

most mufflers take a little while to break in.
My magnaflows sound different after awhile.

[KobraII]

Next time you're in the NKY, I'll let you experience the awesomeness of the ZX2

[DeckerEnt]

Next time you're in the NKY, I'll let you experience the awesomeness of the ZX2

That's just funny right there. No offense intended. LOL!!
Keith

[KobraII]

I like my Escort! It'll have to satisfy my need for speed until me and my father can finish the Cobra

[Stangman]

Next time you're in the NKY, I'll let you experience the awesomeness of the ZX2

That right there made my day. :bigthumb

I guess I'll have to return the favor and let you experience the awesomeness of the GT or the MarkViii... depending on when I get it back. lol

[plattner01]

i guess with the bad weather the next two mods you can add are the snow plow on the front :eek:and salt spreader :eek:on the back of the mustang:bigthumb, that way you can make a few extra bucks :lol:

[plattner01]

hey ponygrl what radar detector are you using??

[PONYGRL]

So in the midst of everything going on around Christmas time... we put my k&n intake on Saturday.... also programmed my car..... yesterday we did my sequantial tail lights... so everything is coming together.

I will try to take some pics and come up w/ a sound clip this week. The exhaust sounds a lot different than when I posted last... it gives me a lot less "headache" now but is still much louder/different than sounding stock.

[PONYGRL]

hey ponygrl what radar detector are you using??

A crappy one, I cant think of what brand offhand, but it was my ex-BFs like 2.5 years ago..... he let me barrow it, and I kept it. I need to buy a good one eventually.... I just dont have the money right now...

[PONYGRL]

A couple more recent pics... the rear louvers are not on my car right now though.

I also put in a hurst s/t shifter and put on my roush pedals... front bumper will be painted soon, my quarter window louvers put on, and rear roush fascia... and looking for an h-pipe. My matte black stripe kit will be on very soon and I'm tinting my tail lights...
