Debbie and I swapped rides yesterday so I could get her 2005 Mustang vert inspected and tagged. It was the first time she took the California Special out by herself. She works in nearby Pennsylvania, whose landscape features beautiful rolling hills and twisty roads.

She came home last night and the first thing she says - "I REALLY like your car". She followed that up with "...I caught air twice!". So apparently Debbie is a closet speed demon.


I can already see which direction this is headed, and the path will likley be expensive. I predict two things:


She's going to end up with blue and red flashing lights in her rearview mirror.
Once she goes back to driving her 4.0L/auto convertible tomorrow, she's going to see how much slower it is than the 5.0L and want me to make her car faster.


Like I said, this could get expensive! :yes:

It's good she likes Mustangs...I say whatever comes with that beats the alternative of someone who doesn't like you having them. I had a chance to drive a colleague's brand new 2013 Shelby GT500 (White with sonic blue stipes) today. SWEET ride and a nice compliment to his Cobra kit car that is blue with white stripes. Kind of makes me want one, but the price tag quickly makes that thought pass.

Mike, I haven't seen a 2013 GT500 yet in person, but those cars are amazing from what I've read and viewed online. The dealer's ADM on the new GT500's must be outa sight at the moment. IMO, those folks are nuts to pay $5K-$10K (or more!) over MSRP for a new car just to have the latest and greatest (although it arguably IS the greatest Mustang of all time).

For those folks on a budget, the newly announced 2013 Roush RS is a more affordable option -
