    Srt8 to 5.0

    Hey all my name is Mike im from the monroeville area. As of saturday i picked up my new Grabber blue 2012 mustang gt auto. This thing is pretty sweet. I traded in my 2006 300c srt8 which i loved dearly but after test driving a new 5.0 my mind was made up. I know/met a couple members at the irwin car shows the last few years. I just ordered a magnaflow comp muffer delete axle back for the car and im hoping to get it in for tint this week. I came from an srt8 with slp lm1's so i need my car to be loud or i hate it. Already planning on getting the 624 whipple next summer but there is only 300 miles on the odometer so i don't want to go mod crazy yet. I'll wait until after winter to lose my warranty. Still debating on wheels but probably will go with a set of staggered sve drifts or rtrs. I will probably change my mind at least 20 times before summer hits. Right now i miss the low end torque the srt8 had but i know with a few bolt on's the mustang will have more than enough to satisfy my needs. Looking forward to meeting some of you and learning all i can about these new mustangs.

    Ill get more pics when i have it cleaned up as the 200 mile drive back from maryland produced more dead bugs on my car than i ever could have imagined.

    I would love to check out your car sometime jaa55. Probably won't see it until the summer and there a is a meet or something. Did you go with the 525 or 624? Im suprised at all the aftermarket stuff for these cars already. I keep picking something i want and seeing something different i like better and changing my mind. The srt8 didn't have this kind of aftermarket. I already plan on ordering a airraid intake and sct soon. Just can't decide if i want a cam tune or not.

    Welcome man, was wondering what happened to you and that SRT.

    I love how it sounds as well. Just don't know how well it is for the auto yet. And yes i agree Grabber Blue is my favorite color of the new mustangs. I drove 4 hours out of my way to get it :)

    Yeah PittSpeed is as good as gone, there is a small group of people carrying on the Pittspeed type "legacy" if you will. Going good here, left the shop about 2 years ago and back dabbling in the IT/Software field, still good friends with Jay though. You still working with POS stuff?
