I just picked up a vapor silver/black stripe 08 gt 500, it came with the tvs blower upgrade, frpp shifter,bassani exhaust, drilled and slotted rotors. I just got done lowering the car with the frpp handling kit, it also got rid of the wheel hop!!!. I will get some pics up soon if the weather stays decent. I do have a question, I dont know if anybody knows of this car, it was bought new at laramie ford in e.brookfield mass. then it got sold back to the dealership, then got wholesaled to sarat ford in agawam mass. then too carmax in hartford ct. then too nutmeg auto in hartford ct. and then i bought it from there, i just want to contact the other owners if they have any of the paperwork that comes with the car. ( original window sticker, and other documents) any info, will be greatly appreaciated, or if there is a way to contact the other owners, the dealer ships i called cant give out info, because of privacy laws. thanks

Sounds like a sweet ride. Did it come with any type of hand held tuner or anything. I'd be curious about the tune and A/F. Maybe a dyno apt is in order. Either way, post some pics up when you've got a chance.

Good advice from a few members here, better get it on the Dyno before you start flogging it, it may save you some serious heart burn. Congrats on picking up a killer ride.

Congrats! Does your car have the quarter window scoops? It sounds like a car I was looking at.
