I agree GTI would have been nice to have but I was smiling all the way home, I knew I made a great purchase. It's 100% stock and I got a long list of mods to come.

Thanks! I love the wheels myself, it's a premium so has the heated seats auto dimming compas mirror, and satellite radio which my past s197s didn't have so kinda nice even though heated seats are not very useful right now.
Was funny last night on the way home my girlfriend texted me "wanna race?" I responded with "come on up" she floors it past me and waves as she goes by, I threw it in third in just sprinted past her. She was not very happy to say the least lol. In fact she was a bit jealous lmao

Oh and I work about 8 minutes from my house so I'm getting city mpg which is on par with the RL, definitely not complaining.

question for you; a friend bought the v6, like you gf's and he complains of stiff suspension.
he's in new york, so I cant drive the vehicle to know if its supposed to be like that or not...
but i told him that since it's a "sporty coupe" that it will be stiff

Yeah the Mustang has a pretty stiff suspension, even more so if it's sitting on lowering springs. Right now mine is sitting on OEM springs and that will likely change here in the next month or so. Will be making the switch the H&R Super Sports which will give the Mustang the lowest stance available without going with coilovers.
Front bushings are also known for wearing out prematurely so if he's feeling/hearing a clunk when hitting bumps that's worn bushings. Very common with the S197.

That's a waste of money. Might as well just buy the real thing.

Yeah she complains about how she doesn't have the foglights and has the absolute base stereo. Has zero bass very uneventful compared to the Shaker500 I got.

She wants a small system for her birthday, also wants a mild exhaust modification done. She doesn't want it loud just a little bit of growl from it. Told her I'll just remove the muffler. So it won't be loud and raspy.

My first modification will be cat delete, then H&R super sport lowering springs, then StopTech brakes after that the engine mods begin.

The 4.6 doesn't have a good reputation but those cars can really wake up with just a few well-planned modifications.
