Yeah, I made a very short pull tonight (still getting a feel for it) I rolled on it in 2nd and grabbed 3rd it chirped the tires and I ran 3rd to about 5700-6000stuff and was running close to 80 and the car didn't even feel like it was trying!

It's one of the most affordable track cars you can buy! Hopefully you can take it to a track and stretch it's legs!!

Thanks guys!

The boss's have a straight runner intake, cnc ported heads, bigger and more aggressive cams, and forged internals. and a bunch of other stuff like adjustable shocks. It is quite the car!

The one thing I was a little worried about was the Recaro seats being a bit to race car-ish for something that will be mostly street driven, But they are comfortable enough that a girl I'm kinda sorta seeing ended up dozing off as we were driving home from watching the races lol!

As far as taking it the track, I'm sure I will run it at our local drag strip a few times and there may be a auto X or two thrown in there.

Just when I thought this car couldn't get any better, I pulled the baffles on the quad exhaust! Omg it is very close to sounding better than my HD with lt's, catless x pipe, and bullets!

I have yet to hear it in person but have heard that when you do open up the exhaust the car sounds just wicked!

It sounds really good! It is just the right amount of interior noise. Just enough you hear it but not enough to cause you to have to yell to your passenger.

You will miss your truck when you need to pick up wood, or make a run to the land fill, or have a piece of furniture to pick up. I am more of a car guy but after owning and driving a truck for 4 years(company and my own) I miss having a truck to do work with. My Tahoe is awesome but it still doesn't have a bed.

I personal hate mustangs but at least the new ones are fairly quick. I would never make the trade you did but seems like you are happy and that is what matters!
