Hey guys, this is technically my second introduction to this group! I joined back in 2014 hoping to pick up a Mustang with in the next year, unfortunately it didn't work out like that and just got one back in February.
The Mustang we got is NOT my dream car, but it is my wife's dream car, 2007 Mustang GT Convertible, Torch Red, Black top/interior, automatic, premium package with the nice shiny bullitt style wheels, leather and a Shaker 500 sound system. We bought the car back in February and we have put around 800 miles on it, 500 of which was a trip to Branson, MO and back home. The car only has 60k miles.
I have been on the fence about keeping the car, I really want a 2013-14 GT 5spd, but the wife isn't having it, so this is the car I find myself stuck with and I am currently trying to learn to love it.
Any recommendations? I would like a louder exhaust, something deep and rumbly, not raspy or crackly. I LOVE wider wheels/tires on the rear, and was thinking about getting the rear wheels widened, and the fattest tire I could fit put on, when I had SN95 cars I ALWAYS had 315/35-17s on my cars, I just love that look.
A CAI and tune looks to be fairly popular, and a new set of gears in the rear end would help it get up and out of it's own way, just not sure if 4.10s or 3.73s are better for an automatic car. I will probably never put a blower or turbo or juice on the car, I would rather swap in a Coyote.
Let me know your thoughts guys! Looking forward to learning!
