thankfully the hood was not even touched and im not going to turn it into insurance when i can buy a bumper cover and fender for less than $250 and i already have a few things from the previous accident. My deductable is 1k and i have accident forgiveness which i have no desire to use up on a god damn deer

nope this was a mustang dyno, be closer to the 600rwhp range on a dynojet. Also if you would've just read my quote you had it says mustang dyno right there man lol

If I do end up pulling the trigger, I will likely have some stuff for sale. Brand new Firebird rubber floormats, TA hatch (with tinted window), WS6 lower airbox, red painted headlight bezels, HUMount that says Trans Am, MBA billet HVAC/headlight ***** and possibly some 18x9 Cray Scorpions with tires. I also have a Formula rear bumper in mint condition and a Formula front bumper with a tear in it. The front has all the lights in it. If anyone is interested in any of this stuff, I'll be sure to keep you up to date. Should know tomorrow if I'm getting a GXP or not.
I love the car. Doesn't get the looks that the T/A gets (I actually got complemented by a guy in a C6 during the cruise for the Super Nats Saturday night) but it is bad ***. The GXP would be a head turner. And the rarity is a bigger factor.
