[FONT=&quot]#2471 – I have original window sticker[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]646 RWHP, 565 TQ[/FONT][FONT=&quot] - by Fastlane Motorsports on 93 (all day long)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I do not have track slips, times, or mph, because she has never seen the track. My friends make fun of me but this is a true weekender / garage queen and should go to a good home. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]This car screams, the wife is scared of it and I love it! It gets so much attention on sunny days with top down, at least 1 person each time I drive it gives a thumbs up or asks to trade [/FONT]J[FONT=&quot] I put a lot of hard work and money into this car and enjoyed EVERY step of the way. I have felt the power stock at 390, 455, 510, and now 650 rwhp, learning what parts make the biggest differences aside from swapping blowers.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The Details[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Carfax Clean, no salvage, no accidents[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Currently has 45,500 miles on her and I have owned her since bone stock at 12,552 miles (owned previously by construction worker and was given the car on payment for job, he did not need to keep)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I have been meticulous with this car, I have over 5 years of gas records with graphs, maintanance, and upgrade records.[/FONT] Seriously excel tables, lists, and graphs showing the changes and maintenance records.

[FONT=&quot]I have pictures and documentation of her improvements and modifications all along the way, when I bought new parts, any parts I have replaced.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]She was my daily driver when I first got her so she had to be reliable and she was used consistently but on the inside she looks new.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Over the past two years she has been garaged kept and only driven on nice days.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]She ALSO only has about 2,000 miles on her since I put the Kenne Bell on. I can't believe that's it, feels like so long ago.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I have always changed the oil myself with Mobil 1 & Motorcraft Oil Filter and about every oil change I also changed the spark plugs with NGK TR6s.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The not so good:[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The paint is not perfect as this is a 7 year old car. The front bumper and hood have the expected nicks and[/FONT][FONT=&quot] the rear bumper on the sides have some sand blasting from the drag radials. From 7ft away, either way, hard to tell.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]It’s getting time to have the transmission fluid changed and perhaps the fuel filter which was changed at 25k miles.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]That's It!!!! This car has been my baby, pride and joy.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I am selling her because I would like to either get a new one that has some back seat access for my future family OR save the money for family.

[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]As I said its very hard to think about selling it and I want her to go to a good home, give someone else some amazing thrills and attention, what she was made for.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]FYI[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]This car is being sold complete and will not part out. I do have some of the original parts but nothing close to bringing it back to stock. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Kelley Blue Book Value on the car private party is $22,270 in excellent condition.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Please no tire kickers, I do not want trades unless for 2011 GT500.[/FONT]

I also thought I would include some additional photos.

Nice clean Snow Methanol Injection kit in the trunk with a float level by Fastlane Motorsports. You can also barely see the two little LEDs, in the next photo, just under the center gauge cluster, one is RED and one is GREEN. The red is to let you know that you are low on Methanol and you should try and stay out of boost and the green is to let you know that you are spraying methanol. LOVED these two little additions, very functional for long trips.



Gauge cluster shot (imagine the navigation unit not being there)

Actually one of my best friends and I installed it together. He is an ex Porsche mechanic and pretty much has helped me with making the car the way it is today. He was the only other person I trusted to touch the car other than me.

He had the welding skills and fabrication ingenuity to make it fit as close to perfect and look professional. We took our time with it.

It wasn't so bad with the car being convertible, we were able to Leave the center console in and just fold the carpet over it to get to the corners. The hard part was really getting the rear brace plates to fit snug against the rear wheel wells. But we finally got it, welded them, and all was good. We definitely took the approach, measure 5 times cut/trim/weld once!

Theres always someone ready to criticize
It was brought to my attention that there was a sizeable gap in certain places and several passes had to be made to fill them in

Well according to him they cut and trimmed to make it perfect fit so idk y there would b a big gap that needs filling, im just saying if I had someone that clammed that they has the skills to do it and they made it look like that id want it redone.
