About this Current Vehicle:

2004 mustang 3.8L V-6:

Best 1/8: 9.550 @ 70.90 MPH
Best 1/4: 14.713 @ 93.90 MPH

I previously owned a 1998 stang which met an untimely demise due to a non driving old lady who thought the parkway was actually for parking and a great place to carry on a cell phone conversation. I bought the car while I was still in the Navy and hence had a good amount of money to put into it. It was a 16 second car when I bought and the first time I pulled up to a light and started off I got smoked by a honda civic (fart pipe only.) I thought to my self this will never due, so I started with some mild upgrades and ended here. Problem is that I do not thing I will ever be through. I still have plans to add a more suspension element (eibach springs, lakewood struts and shock, subframe conectors, and upper and lower control arms.) and a Cam and Head upgrade...as well as a super charger.

I will say it is one of few cars I have ever drove/owned that makes my day just to drive it, in short it makes me giggle!
