Its killing me.. I have 50K saved up from years of busting ass... but its all in my wifes account since we were going to buy a house... but she wont let me get the new mustang.. now we have a baby.. AHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I could go down and get one tonight... shiiiit!
tough spot, man.

My wife is due with our first child in November. I have until then to get a supercharger for my '10.

I agreed to fund it by selling off some of my gun collection instead of dipping into "the kitty." So far I'm at the $5.5k mark. My goal is $7k.

If your car is what you list in your sig, why in the hell do you want one?

And btw, THIS is why i will not ever get married. ;)

She has YOUR money, in HER account, and SHE is hanging on to it to buy HER a house. Yea, that's just fucked up. I bet you don't even get a cool garage out of the deal. I say hire a hitman, kill her, and go get yourself a new mustang.

I'm getting ready to short sale the house. Since it was under my name only I was putting the money in her account so she can get another under her name. Well just as my luck run, my CO decided to lay me off and she is out for a few months w/o pay. So right now Obama is covering me. haha.. Obama will buy me a 5.0!!

So i just got back from test driving a red 2011 5.0 and i must say, it is the most smoothest shifting car ive ever driven in my life! Ordered one right as i got in. Kona Blue 5.0 baseline gt, 6 spd manual.

I honestly think the only blowers that'll be worth a damn on these cars with the stock c/r of 11.0:1 will be a RoushCharger M90 or a Saleen Supercharger with minimal boost. We are talking like 5 maybe 6psi TOPS!!!

agreed.. and at that point you start to wonder if just going NA is good enough. With tunes and parts maybe you can squeeze out another 50-100hp(without cams). Save money and not blow a rod.

I just priced an 5.0 for myself.. 42K.. hahah
