Gun's New Toy

[Gunslinger]

Well, after years of waiting for stability, of steady cash and drama seeking baby mama's
i finally decided to treat myself to a life long dream. im now the owner of a fire red 2005 ford mustang. i sealed the deal at 14 grand flat. im leaving for a year to play in the sand box in afganistan, so i figured, "awh what the hell"
as long as the bills get paid, might as well spoil myself before i leave for that shithole for a fricken year. i had the choice of chossing between the v8 and the v6. i choose the v6 for reasons of fuel consumption. i dont really give a crap about gross power. i just really really really wanted to own one, now i do,, and i rule. the first of few things im gonna do is get rid of those horrible wheels. im going for the classic drag aluminum type rims.

I like how you included the gun on the passenger seat.

[TSmiley98]

so you got a new hand gun? sweet, J/K nice stang, the v6's are still no slouch.. and they stylings are nice.. and gas is HIGH

[zxtwou2]

atx v6 mustang...and for 14k...and it's 4 years old?

good luck if you like it, though. there is a nice 08 shelby gt here for 30k flat :shrug:

[mellowness65]

I don't blame you for going for the v6, I just put 40 bucks in the z today :(
I like the red interior, the carpet seems a little iffy though. Nice handgun option too

I've never had as fun driving an atx sport car as I do a mtx sport car. Something about controlling that power especially in turns "turns" me on to it. Just my thoughts. Beautiful car btw.

[autox_zx2]

ya dude, i actually test drove a 05 gt convertible fully loaded for 18k with only 33k miles. is that one really low mileage or something?

Actually the s197 mustangs have a pretty cool Automatic in them. They have a close ratio 1st and 2nd, if you ever drive one you will know what I mean. It doesn't take a whole lot of money to throw a bigger stall convertor and shift kit to make one drop about .5 a second in the 1/4.
BTW rear wheel drive cars don't have ATX or MTX, there is no transaxle involved. :razz:

[capitalcrew]

Cool. Nice lookin stang. Debage it then tint it. Mm..

Yeah I meant automatic/manual I just didn't spell it out and didn't feel like thinking at that moment obviously. Thanks for the correction though lol.

Even though I hat ethe saying butttt Thats HOTT!

[ZX2 Sleeper]

I would choose my sisters old 2001 Mustang over her 2000 mustang GT Convertible anyday. Nice choice though! And thank you for serving for our country! Go USA!

[Mike]

Very nice. With the gas as high as it is....hell i'd even by a 4 banger Stang if they made one now a days.









I'm totally kidding...those things were OMFG sooooo slow. But your car is sexy.

[Buster]

Nice, but the ONE thing you really need to do is add the GT grille with foglights or at least a V6 Pony Package grille with the smaller lights.

The base V6s just look like they're missing something without lights there. :D

I love the interior in yours.

Its airsoft. :razz:

Good choice going with the Pony. Price tag was a bit steep for what gas prices are. But if you want it bad enough you will pay it. Nice ride!

[Gunslinger]

its hell trying to find wheels for this thing. i know what i want, but nothing will fit. like i said,, im trying to go retro with it . ive yet to find a decent set of cragers that will fit, and it pissing me off. i really really hate the wheels.

[zxtuner98]

bullits?

Cool. Nice lookin stang. Debage it then tint it. Mm..

Allow me to add to this.

Debadge and tint of course.
Now here is the route I would take. Lower the front, not alot, but enough to give it a more agressive stance. I wouldn't be too overly concerned about handling. From getting the automatic v6 I assume you won't be beating on it. Just cruising. Decent aftermarket rims, and maybe a wider set in the rear.
Mach 1 hood, and a nice set of louvers for the rear quarter glass.

That is as far as I would go into over all looks. Then I would get intake/header/cat delete/exhaust for a deep growl.

For as much money as it would really take, I think it would look spectacular like that.

Where's the Z now?

Btw, the car is real nice man, and as always, thanks for serving our country.

thanks brotha,, im never parting with the z,,,now that i got my american musle (v6 size,, lol )

my zx2 is now a permanet resident of "show and shine customs" as a show room car in the main lobby. i will take it out for drives up to meets, and car shows and shit,, but other than that. it's on display inside the store at my buddys tuner shop.

[Gunslinger]

ive made up my mind,, i dont want to change the appearance too much, no way i fucken wit a beauty like this too much. so the mods i will put on is as follows

tein lowering springs

gt front grille, with fog lights

de-badge it of course]

darker tint on windows

and white letter out tires, with original rims

perhaps, maybe a open intake hood, (to help keep temp down )

and then just ride off in the sunset.

[capitalcrew]

Bullitts too. :)

Meh. Spelling.

tomato.?Lol.

I highly recommend Cooper Cobra tires.

I'm on my second set on the Z. They look great, nice fat sidewalls. My first set lasted 75-80K miles and would have gone further but I wanted fresh tread for winter, which they're great in. They handle great too. Cost me about $80/tire for 195/60/15.

I like all the ideas except for the stock wheels. Maybe stock gt bullit wheels??? :lol:

[Gunslinger]

problem is, im running size 16 wheels. i would sacifice for a larger or smaller size, but then i wont be able to get the wheels i really want,, cause of the funky offset. i must have fwd wheels, even though its a rwd car.

I like that you got the road rage package ;)

Airsoft or Not.

They still frighten the "other driver" just as much when they see you pull it ;) hehehe

there is a hole in my heart now
