My new ride :)

Well after about 8 months of shopping I finally found my car! I wasn't planning to get one for a few weeks since I at least had a motorcycle to hold me over, but this one came up and it was the right car at the right price, so it's mine!! :)

Ok, so details. It's a 1996 Mustang GT convertible, 4.6 liter V8, racing transmission and clutch, RAM air hood, aftermarket spoiler, exhaust, wheels/tires, paint job, On the track the guy has done mid-upper 12s in it, so it's pretty fast! I've gotten to 60 in about 4 seconds or so, and once I get more used to the clutch I think it'll do even better. It's got a lot of git-up and go, and the mufflers sound sweet. It's not flowmasters, but they're still pretty short and therefore pretty loud. I've been told if I run it around 3,000 rpms I can be heard over a quarter of a mile away :) but it idles very quietly actually..
It's a ton of fun to drive, and at least I think it's a really good looking car. Sorry the pix aren't perfect, but I'm having internet problems over here, so I couldn't get them to load in full size.

Anyway, anybody want a ride?? haha
