[QUOTE="KrisR, post: 14496824, member: 151707"] This is my 13th (I think?) Mustang. I had a convertible C5 for a bit but decided to get back into an S197. My last Mustang was a 2011 GT auto with a Circle D converter, Boss manifold, Mike Rousch tune (the best!), off road x-pipe, E85, that ran 11.40s. I've had a Vortech-then-turbo 2005 GT, KB then-turbo 99 GT convertible, foxes, etc. Anyway... 2006 GT. 54000 miles. Has a Vortech H.O. aftercooled S-trim on it. Stock everything else. 4.10 gears. Auto trans. Magnaflow exhaust. 39lb injectors, unknown fuel pump. I disliked the wheels that came on it very much and they totally didn't fit the car. They are American Racing Rebel 18x9, +12 offset (!). Hit the track 2 days after I bought it. Was happy with running multiple 12.1s at 116mph...seems pretty good for having not much done to it.
