Congrats!! these stangs have come such a long way. I had an 04' and it was alright, but I drove my friends Boss 302 the other day and wow!! I come from a Ford family, so I'd have no problem getting back into one!

i'm not sure if your stuck on putting a turbo on the car but i would consider a supercharger. Look into Kenne bell superchargers or a twin screw type. I can guarantee that you will have way more fun with a s/c mustang with all the crazy low end torque and no turbo lag. I put a kenne bell s/c on my mustang cobra and was pushing more than 620rwhp....it was insanely fast! Plus, a supercharger will most likely be cheaper than a turbo kit. Go joing allfordmustangs.com and have a look through their forums....there's some VERY knowledgable guys on there about everything mustang.

Nice car. Good color choice. I love Mustangs. I would be driving one now, but I need room for my son's car seat and teenage daughters in the back. Mustangs have a lot of good points, but back seat room isn't one of them.

That's kind of interesting since I also have an 07 IS350, and I also have been closely considering a new Mustang GT, heh. I'm not sure if I would sell Xandra, though, or just give her a new friend.

I've been very impressed with the new Stang. You made a good choice.

I work at a performance shop. We do lots of SC'd and turbo setups on domestic cars. We'll be fabricating the turbo kit if i decide to go that route which i probably will. I won't really have lag because I'm not going to go crazy on the size of the turbo. Either a 67mm or 76mm, I'm not 100% sure yet.

No shame in that at all. The 5.0 is a phenomenal car. Tremendous value. Great pick up
