Do you keep up heavy maintenance on it? Or have you just kept up with oil/plugs/wires and that's it?!
Oil, plugs, wires, changed the rear fluid to RP, keep fresh DOT4 fluid in the clutch hydraulics, and flush the radiator and follow up with RMI 25 treatment. Which is great stuff.

Right now we are 6hrs apart and one of us travels that EVERY weekend, so she needed something NEW and that she could depend on. We got the Mustang (its a red GT with black leather and a 5spd) for $10K off sticker and 0% for 72 months. A new G8 was $3K off OR something like 2.9% for 72 months. Basicaly $250 a month more than the Mustang. PLUS she wanted a manual and you couldnt even get the G8 with a stick. So we got the Mustang.

And we didnt even stop and look at a Kia!

Default Talladega Victory Lane



This is a scan picture so the quality is not the best.

We had a lot of fun! There are some more things im going to do appearance wise. New parking lamps. Replace the bulbs in the corners with LEDs. Paint the cowl black.

The main thing I want to do is put some bling under the hood and do the wire mod/hood latch mod. Also relocate the TCS and possibly the fuse box.

Thanks for all your kindness guys!
