It's not much....but it's mine. ;)

Thought I'd share my ride with the masses of this site.

2005 Mustang GT
Saleen Series VI supercharger
BMR, CHE, and Steeda suspension
Tokico D-spec struts, FRPP springs
BFG KDW2 radials


No eggnog pic yet. My digital camera had a stroke recently. I'll get a photo up as soon as my search for a new one ends.

Hehe. I was merely attempting to be humble. I know there's a number of members on this site that think of Mustangs as junk.

I refuse to go bigger than 18" on the rims. These tires are considerably shorter than the stocker 235/55/17's that came with the car. The current tire/rim size combo is the perfect all around street setup. Any less sidewall and my traction suffers. Any additional sidewall and the body rolls in the turns too much. I simply took the middle ground.

My car is all about function/performance.....not looks. I've yet to spend a dime on any aesthetic modifications to the car. The rims on it were cheapo's which I bought so I could accommodate the wider radials. Everything spent thus far has gone into the powertrain or undercarriage.

255/45/18 up front and 285/40/18 out back. I went with some pretty meaty radials out back because 450+bhp tends to be hard to plant to the ground when you are a little overzealous with the throttle.

Anyway, it's one nice ride you got there!
