Yeah I thought about taping up some spots but decided against it.

In the end it's a car and made to be driven. Since I purchased the 100k bumper to bumper warranty I'm not sure how heavy I will be modding it but I would like to reach 500rwhp.

Hope to see some other 5.0's on the road

Well, if that's the case, I'd say just make sure to give it a good wax job before leaving to make it easier to get the bugs off, keep a bottle of detail spray, a microfiber towel in the trunk and hope for no rocks.


I don't see a lot of other 5.0's on the road when I'm out in my car. I always see them when I'm out in my truck though. lol.

I haven't either. Ran into an 03 cobra on Saturday that wanted to play but when the words "whipple" came out of his mouth I just laughed and said no thanks.

My car doesn't look "mean" at all. I'm keeping the clean look gonna make it look as close to a 65 fastback as possible. Just needs a few tweaks here and there.

It's just a car. Drive the shit out of it and enjoy it. Otherwise you're just keeping it nice for the next guy.

I did a 3600-mile roadtrip in a Hertz rental '12 GT with Eric aka talisman. Badass trip and a great touring car.
