    Right on man. As you can see I built my 05 up from bone stock. Kooks, Off-road H, Saleen blower... etc etc etc.

    Modding a GT500 is so much easier. Iron block, rotating assembly AND more displacement!

    Ill do lots of research on this car. First mod will of course be mufflers, then the intake/tune will come with the rollers are open in Wolfpack speed's garage.

    Thanks for the props guys!

    I hope to see a GT500 meet and greet in the burgh one of these days.

    You might want to do some suspension work first to help combat wheel hop. It dosen't matter if you have 5 horsepower or 500, if you can't hook it up.

    Yeah, Ill get some control arms. Like I said, tons of research (because I have the time here in Afghanistan) before purchases.

    I watched the Top Gear review for the GT500... What a ****stick that guy is.

    "It doesn't have bloody IRS, Wahhh" Duh, its 2 tons, what do you do when 2 tons shifts? Roll over.

    and the part when he wrote Almost in a sharpie after the GT500... I swear...

    The Revolutionary War was about to start all over again.

    Thanks again guys! Final price before taxes came out to $38,411.16. Which I think is still pretty good. 1800 old man miles isn't a ragged on car.

    Got the Signed Dash plaque, Car cover and dead petal on order from Shelby. Looking for a short throw shifter as well.

    Probably going to pick up a JLT intake and buy a new tuner off of Mike at Wolfpack speed.

    Life's good... but it'll get better on May 08, 2010. ;)
