    Before Purchasing a 2013 Mustang GT

    I was thinking the same thing about banging around in S all day. not a pleasant thought. What is odd, is that the KBB value is coming in around 19k - so even with the cars on the market going for more, I dont really feel comfortable paying 'full price' on a car that might come down in a year.

    Hi, So in the effort to price out what a whipple, kb or vmp will REALLY run me, I am trying to figure out if I need a retune with the supporting mods. I imagine it is a good idea, but can I drive the car before the new tune is in? I heard that the new MAF renders the car undriveable...
