Default Introduction - Beyonce

2014 Base GT, 6M, 3.73. Track Package, Recaros. Didn't want Sync or any other options so I ordered it as kind of a "budget/baby boss".

1st Mustang, well sort of, my first car was a 79 Mercury Capri. While the old turbo 4 was kind fun, its nothing like the Coyote. Wouldn't have guessed that it would be 23 yrs between cars but the practicalities of raising kids had put me in pickups for too long. Not sure if I made it to the "can afford it" stage, but definitely "can't wait any longer".

Some call it "mid-life crisis". I started calling it the "hot, young, and black girlfriend", so the wife and kids named it "Beyonce". She's sure fun.

GT500s, Barton shifter, tinted (windows, markers, 3rd brake, and fogs), some blackout (badges, rotors, mufflers).

Will keep the drivetrain stock as its a daily driver and does really well as-is. It needs a drop. Thinking Eibach Pro/K springs, but would like to adj shocks/struts/panhard at the same time. I'll run it on the strip a few times, but mostly autocross and track days for off road play.

Time stops when the whispers blare,
The voices drop hard,
But the eyes still stare..

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.
