I had to say that :-D

Drives great, Carbon Ceramic Brembo Brakes, 6 Piston at the front 4 at the back, 7.0L n/a engine, 305 P-Zero tires in all 4 corners, has A/C and Sound System Options. Clear bra and Tint set for next week, and then it gets detailed and sealed up.

Jealousy can't even describe how I feel. Guy in my town just got one, he works with my good friend and he said that the guy is gonna garage it all the time and never drive it. Pointless.

Looks awesome, how are you liking it so far? Pretty raw feeling?

It's an amazing car, stuck to the road, I took a long highway bend at decent speed and it made me laugh at how planted it was. The brakes are spoiling me, I may need to upgrade the GT500's brakes. Not as much kick in the pants torque off the line but she gets going well. The power matches the car I think.

From all the reports I read on the z28, GM was able to wring out ever road course performance aspect and basically perfected the car for the track. Hopefully Fords GT350 brings the mustang back to its roots once again. Not that the s197 is a slouch, it was the best chassis for the mustang until the s550 came along.

As far as exhaust goes, the stock gt500 leaves a lot to be desired. I believe the z28 has dual mode exhaust, hard to beat that and the ls7. Different motors for different purposes.

That's how a muscle car should be...7 liter V8, big brakes and wide wheels with 305s all the way around. I dream of having one of those with longtubes, o/r exhaust and a rowdy-ass cam. Congrats on an awesome score. I hope you drive the piss out of it.

Edit: is the front splitter removable? Looks great but I'd bet it's just a matter of time before that changes.

Thanks Guys! I'm loving it so far. That exhaust sound is great. I'll get some sound clips together soon. I've got a decent external mic for my GoPro.
