    I can finally drive my new ride after 3 weeks of waiting. My wife was nice enough to get this for me for completing my Masters degree. I've only been waiting 20 years for this awesome car. I got it about 3 weeks ago, but wanted to wait until I got it striped and got the pait protection film on the front. My other car has a ton of chips on the hood from all of the road construction in Missouri.

    Plus we got a sweet deal on it. It is an '08 GT, auto with 300 miles on it. It had to go to auction because the first dealer went out of business. It has Navigation and HIDs.

    So far I've added 10" stripes, paint protection film, tint and the GT500 spoiler (thanks to the great write up on this site).

    How much rwhp can you get out of this car without a supercharger?

    Does anyone know where I could get a manual for the navigation and radio controls?

    Thanks for the help and I hope to continue to learn how to do more upgrades on this website.

    400+ can be achieved N/A plus nitrous if you wanted to go that route.

    Congrats to both the degree and the Stang:rock:
    Awesome color combo:nice:
    As Nasty said, you can get to 400 RWHP, but it's going to take several thousand $$$ at least to get there. The list could include...CAI, tune, pulleys, delete plates, cams, heads, intake, long tube headers...
    Enjoy the car and your time here :SNSign:
