I totally agree about the hp....the new coyote motor is rated at 435 hp, but not sure what gets to the ground..... I have an idea of getting it dyno'ed soon to give me a base because there are some things I plan to do....the first thing would be to upgrade to exhaust to headers and an "X" pipe...not sure about a muffler yet...I want a nice sound, but nothing that has an irritating "drone". It's funny you bring up the blower.... The first thing I did was look on ford racing and that as the thing that caught my eye...... I am sure a pass at Norwalk Raceway Park (I think it's called Summitt now) will be in order just to give me that base line too. ;)...one more thing....I haven't looked yet, but I am certain they have a shift kit for those 6 speed autos that will have to find its way in there.

Welcome aboard M-Brick. :) Nancy has givin you great advice on where to start this journey......it starts with knowledge! The more educated you become about nicotine addiction, the better your odds of conquering it are! We have all been where you are and understand the "pain" you are experiencing now, however, ask any long time quitter and each one will tell you that looking back, it wasn't as bad as what they expected! The discomfort is only temporary ....the benefits are permanate. Again, Welcome aboard and keep moving forward one day at a time.

nothing yet...the first one my dealer located was already sold when he checked ...so, he has an inquiry in with a different dealer for another one.....pretty much the same thing...and... Sorry to say Bakon, what we will be getting is pretty much the "standard" GT...without too many added bells and whistles. The wife prefers cloth over leather seats in the summer, and since that is about the only time it will be driven, thats what she is getting. and because of cost, it was either more bells and whistles in a 4cyl (turbo) mustang..or the 6 cyl..., or a "standard" interior gt that includes the V8...The performance package is overkill....kinda. :rolleyes: ...The one Im getting (i hope) has a 3:55 gear vs the 3:15 standard gear it includes the black accent packing which has 19-inch Ebony Black-painted wheels Black GT, 5.0 and Pony badges Unique dark tail lamp lens accents Black decklid spoiler Mats are included, but not voice activated nav....no need for that. I mean seriously, how many people use that any more?...lol...if i need directions, I use google maps and it speak the directions (over the sync3)... My Fusion has Sync, and that is the biggest pain in the @ss to use..the salesman assures me that sync 3 is much more user friendly. the bottom line is, in order to keep it in budget, and since Im not getting rid of anything, I couldn't go "all out". I will take a basic Gt over the loaded 4 or 6 any day!...and as far as the automatic goes...I dont have much choice...lol....she dont want to learn how to drive a manual, and to be honest, after back surgery last year...and another appointment at the Cleveland Clinic in July for basically the same thing, maybe I dont want to drive a manual either. :( so...Hopefully in the next couple hrs I will know if he has located one. Ordering one really isn't an option, because it will take 4 to 6 weeks to get one, and the new 17's will be rolling out in 8 weeks.

I was completely suprised by my wife Friday night. We had gone out to see if we could put the weight back on that we lost doing a "30 day challenge"..... :P :D It's a long story, but I participated by default and lost 13 lbs and she lost 7 lbs.......so, since it ended the on 1st, we went out to a local Long Horn steak house and ordered all the stuff I was not allowed to eat for the past 30 days....lol.... Anyhow.... on the drive home , out of the blue, she suggested we go out and buy a new car....not any car, but a new Mustang !!... Once I confirmed she as serious, and she was.... We made plans to car shop all day Saturday. My only "requirement" was that it be a GT... ( for those that don't know, that's the V8 version).. and all she is really wanting is black or dark grey with black wheels...and (unfortunately) an automatic transmission ..... Simple....right?...not really! Most GT's are manual shift transmissions....(as they should be ;) ) and....it seems most that are automatic, are yellow!...not my thing!...followed by red and orange....those 3 colors are the last ones I would chose! The dealers we visited are reluctant to order anything this late in the production year because in about 6to8 weeks the '17 models will be rolling out and they want to sell whats already in stock....but.... a dealer found one that is exactly what Sherrie wanted... Along with the Gt package.....so, tomorrow I am going to look at it and quite possibly buy it...........unless my inner common sense kicks in and convinces me to wait for a new '17......but of course, they will be more expensive to begin with, and the dealer won't feel the need to negotiate a better price to get them off the lot like he does the '16s.....anyhow....if I can attach a pic, I will show what the one we may be getting will look like. ok....I haven't mastered this iPad yet...I will post it from my PC..... Anyhow....if this is case of midlife crisis...Let it be so! :) :D these pics are not completely accurate...the one we would be getting would have "black chrome" emblems instead of "shiny" chrome...

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 37,000 added to the flames! And like Sirius, that translates to a whole lot more money than just the costs of the cigarettes themselfs. He didn't mention the Dr. office calls, drugs, and increased cost of health insurance....to name a few more... Burn, Baby...BURN!!
