    What would you recommend I get for mods?

    Drive it for a few months, and see where you want to spend your money. I addressed my suspension first, as I like twisty roads at full throttle. You may find that you are more into cosmetic changes, or you may want more raw power. Rushing into mods can leave you with a mountain of reciepts for...

    How many miles did fellow GT owners get from their stock Pirelli 18" tires?

    Had 36k on my 17", still had decent tread, but try as I might, they wouldn't streach to 18".

    Question for -11 mustang owners (v6 and 5.0)

    Ford's answer to people that can't put on a gas cap and end up at the dealership getting the CEL reset. I would hate to see how much a year they were paying in warranty claims for evap leaks.

    Mustangs don't do well in the snow..

    I have driven all my Mustangs in the snow. If I can get a Boss, I might consider a winter beater. They are cars, people, drive the hell out of them and then get a new one. Ford builds more every day.

    Need some help/adivce

    Any color will go with black, and I am assuming you are not painting. If you are going with painted stripes, flat grey or black is cool. I saw a painted brushed aluminum look that was impressive at a car show. Do what you want, it's your car. If you don't like it you can always change it.

    Cold air Intake for 2006

    When I installed my CAI, just for fun I ran the car before and after and watched intake air temp and mass air readings at WOT. Not a big difference, but the car was slightly quicker. After installing the tune, the car was quicker. I honestly think alot of the performance gains in CAI's are in...

    Around 2077, the rust may be a factor, but I doubt you will worry about it then.
