She came in today!!!! :hyper: :drop:

 

I went to my dealer today to check on the status of my car. I was looking around out front and my sales guy comes out and says, no sign of her today. Go inside and talk to Todd (he's the manager) and see if he can call and find out where the car is. So I went in and see Todd. I asked him where's my car dude??!! He looks at me and laughs, It's out back. I said get the f..... out of here!!! He says, nope just pulled in 2 min before you did. :ohsnap:

 

I'm sorry for the crappy pics, I took them with my cell phone.

My first impression of the car is the quality looks first rate. The wheels are actually the same color as the car. I was expecting them to be a little darker in color but they are a perfect match to the body color of the car. While I was taking some pictures, the guy driving the truck starts my car up and pulls it off the truck. Man did that thing sound good!!! It's a lot louder than the car I test drove and almost as vocal as my 90 GT with Flowmasters!!! :ohsnap:

 

They need to do the PDI on the car so I won't actually pick it up until Wed but at least I know where it is now!!! :hysterical2:

 

Two days early!!! Congrats 90 !! :party2: :party2:

:party2: :party2:

 

 

 

Thanks man!!! As soon as I take delivery I'll take some good pics and post them. Now I need to start making out my mod list............ :idea:

And - yet once again - Life, is GOOD. :banana piano:

 

Go down there tomorrow and tell them you want the PDI done ASAP or they're going to see an Apache off their starboard beam!

 

Congrats, bro. :happy feet:

 

Keep us posted on what's happening, you hear? :hyper:

Alright 90GT :banana piano:

 

Bet you can't wait to take delivery. That's a great looking car. What made you decide to go visit the dealer? I think that it was special that you were there when it came in.

 

The transporter has mine listed so my salesman thinks it might be delivered tomorrow.

 

Congratulations :happy feet:

Thanks Ruf!!! It's been a long wait but like you said it's worth it!!! Right now I'm in planning mode as to what mods I want to do first. :hyper:

 

I'm thinking CAI and a dyno tune for starters. The exhaust sounded so good I may just leave it alone for a while.

 

I love reading this. Happy days now. Good for you Jim. She's a beaut.

 

Cleaner up dude.

 

I like the color, and the wheels do match perfect.

 

Give us some interior shots too.

 

:shift:

 

 

 

Thanks Rob!!! Your day will come too. The wait is well worth it when you first see her coming off the truck!!! I'll post more pics once I get her home on Wed. For now it's off to PepBoys for some detail supplies, a car cover, and floor mats!!! :shift:

Thanks Moab!!! I went to see my dealer because I was getting frustrated at the fact they couldn't tell me where my car was. I had already signed the deal and loan papers so it wasn't leaving me with a very comfortable feeling that the car hadn't arrived yet.

 

If you can do it, be there when it comes off the truck. That experience alone made all the waiting and frustration worth it!!! :happy feet:

She's home, picked her up today at 10am. :happy feet:

 

I've been out driving around almost all day which is why I don't have any pics to post yet. I'll make sure I take some tomorrow before I go to work and post them when I come home.

 

First Impressions:

 

Wow, what a difference from my 03 Cobra!!! This car makes the Cobra feel like a POS. The fit and finish is first rate and the car has a solid feel to it. No clunks or rattles any where. Paint on the car is flawless, no runs, drips, or errors. A huge improvement in the paint quality over the last few Mustangs I've owned. Throttle lag is but non existent. I've read about the throttle lag from the DBW but this car just flat goes when you step on the accelerator. No hesitation at all. The handling was a pleasent surprise. Car flat out sticks. Even with the crappy OEM tires. I can't wait to see how it will do with the upgraded wheels and tires!!! :hyper: Even the base stereo sounded better than I expected. :doh: The OEM wheels look so good on this car I'm almost hesitant to replace them. The finish on the wheels is just a hair brighter than the paint and it looks sweet. If they were only 18's and I could put bigger tires on them. :cry:

 

Now the nit picks:

 

1. who the h.... designed the friggen seat belt set up!!! :banghead: The attachment point is so far behind you that I have to reach around with my right hand to grab it and then pull it forward just to get it latched. WTF!!!

 

2. Shifter is better than my Cobra but still needs improvement. Might look to the aftermarket for that. Hurst anyone??!!

 

3. Tires. Do you think it would have killed Ford to put a more agressive tire size on the car??? Come on man this is a performance car!!! The stock tires look like they came off the Fusion or Focus!!!

 

Other than those three complaints I love the car. :shift: I'm going to keep her stock until at least the spring that way I can get my first service done and not have the dealer freak out because the car is already modified. :hysterical2::hysterical2:

 

Thanks for all the support you guys have given me. It started getting a little frustrating when the car was lost in la la land and my dealer couldn't locate it. My friends on Stangs Unleashed pulled me through and now the car is in my garage and life is good!!! :banana piano:

 

You guys rock!!! :happy feet:

Feels sweet doesn't it? I don't have many pictures either because I was driving it around yesterday evening then I installed the webelectric taillight sequencers. How many people did you have stare and wave? I've been at work all day so it's time to go home and take it out for a little fun

 

Congratulations again 90GT :happy feet:

It feels awesome!!! I've had a few people stare but the funniest was my insurance agent. She went absolutely bonkers over the car!!! I had a 25 min conversation with her about it. I had to tell her every thing about the car and show her every detail. I gave her my salesman's name so hopefully she will pay him a visit and buy a car from him.

Small teaser pic taken in my garage. Don't mind the mess, I'm in the process of cleaning the garage out and threw a bunch of crap on the wood bench. :hysterical2::hysterical2:

 

Organization at it's best!!! :hysterical2::hysterical2:

 

 

I'll post some better pics hopefully tomorrow as long as the weather holds good.
