    Saleen blower is on

    Your name is Sal Mennella? For real? b/c - no offense intended if it is - but it sounds like a joke (i.e. salmonella, like from raw chicken) Awesome about the Saleen, though. Post some pictures, if you can! Must feel sluggish compared to your '01 Lightening, though, eh? I know a...

    Possible legal issues with dealer. Help is appreciated

    Even in the absence of a written contract specifying that particular vin, you might be able to make out a claim for detrimental reliance if it takes you additional time, effort, and, most importantly, more money, to secure the same car with the same options elsewhere.

    pix of my mustang, finally!!

    That's the best I've seen that ducktail look - you often see gaps with this one (as opposed to the CDC). I wonder if that's partially b/c on the black, the gaps just fade into the body. Anyway, looks great. I see the NY tags - where in NY are you? I'm in Brooklyn with a redfire GT.

    First Oil Change at 5000?

    I changed mine at 1,000 miles and it was mighty dirty. Some have been changing as early as 20 miles, 100 miles, 500 miles, or 1,000 miles. I'd change before 3,000 for the first change. I would and I did. Up to you, though.

    Saleen Series IV Blower Install completed Today!!!

    Nice. Out of curiosity, would replacing the stock intake with a CAI result in additional gains? :shrug:

    First oil change

    I used a huge wrench. Totally dented/damaged the stock oil filter, but it's not like I was saving it. :nice:

    X-Pipes

    My primary reason (by far) for installing the X-pipe is the performance gains; the SLPs were for the sound and looks. I'm hoping I experience some gains with the X-pipe alone (for now leaving stock cats on) - I wouldn't be interested in it just for the sound.

    For what? :shrug:

    X-Pipes

    I installed SLPs last weekend and am installing the second X-pipe you link to here (the Bassani X-pipe without cats - the $279 one) this weekend. I'll let you know if its any louder than with the SLPs alone. How come you're not interested in the SLPs? They're cheap, look great, and sound...

    Follow up: A deal gone bad. Gone good

    Here's a link to another couple of pictures, playing with the wild horses at Assateague Island National Park, MD this weekend. Just picked her up Wednesday. Already put ~850 miles on her. :D http://homepages.nyu.edu/~jjf253/images/index.html

    Follow up: A deal gone bad. Gone good

    Great picture. Really captures the Redfire color well! :nice: Here's a picture of mine. Love the redfire - a beautiful color. Couldn't imagine having any other color, although they're all cool.

    SLP Ludmouth and Magnapak Video..

    Nice video! :nice: I just bought SLPs and am pairing them with a Bassani X-pipe. Hope it isn't TOO loud. :D

    GT Test Drive

    Test drive a V6. I can't imagine what it would take during a test drive to make you decide not to take the GT after ordering it, waiting months, perusing the boards, thinking about mods, drooling over pictures, etc... Can anyone imagine, after everything from order to delivery, walking in...

    Any ideas for a good vanity plate?

    I've been thinking about: LGND-LVS (the dash will be a small blue NY State) A nod to the McQueen commercial. What are your thoughts?

    How much do you want your payments to be?

    Thanks. Do you also happen to know - or can you check - which credit agency FMC bases its decision on? (i.e. Experian, Equifax, or Trans Union)

    How much do you want your payments to be?

    Well, I've already worked out my price, but part of the bargain was that I go through FMC. The whole deal is that I pay $500 over dealer's invoice and have to finance through FMC. But it looks like FMC will give me a better rate than Capitol One anyway, so I don't mind. I would like to have an...

    How much do you want your payments to be?

    Are you familiar with Ford Motor Credit specifically? If so, can you list current rates their giving by credit score range? If so, I really appreciate it, so thanks in advance - if not, no problem. :)
