Well I had been looking for over a month and finally found what I was looking for. I wanted a v8 with an auto so I could drag race at my track and compete. The ten did not fit this need cuz I shift like a nancy boy and really dont like beating up on it every month like that.
So I found a 2006 Mustang Gt with an auto. Only 16k miles on the odometer and in very good condition. I got a carfax and found out it has been on the dealers lot for 4 months. I went in drove it and was very unimpressed and left bummed out. This is no srt/10 with 4.88 gears! Well went back the next week with no expectations this time and actually enjoyed the test drive. They wanted $20k. I offered $15k and stood my ground. They kept playing the game but I wouldnt budge. They had come down to $16k but it wasnt enough so I walked. Two days later I called em up and offered to pay 400 less and they took it. So only $15,600 for a 06 gt with 16k miles. Blue book is $18k.
This car has a drive by wire deal which really sucks when your use to the torque we have in our tens. I am ordering 4.10 gears, a CAI, a TCI shifter and a sct with custom bamachips tunes. It is supposed to really wake it up. With those mods I should run middle to high 13's. Car already has a spintech exhaust so thats one thing I dont need to change. A really nice thing about modding a stang is that the mods are plentiful and way cheaper than our ten mods!! Check out this shifter.....it looks awesome....http://tciauto.com/Products/Shifters/streetfighter/
No worries.......not gonna sell my ten......that aint happening. Its just not my DD anymore. It will come out of the garage for those special days..
I am very stoked right now to be able to have two true American muscle cars at home. Its a good day!!
