This is has been my toy for the last 3 years but its time to pass it on to another enthusiast who will continue its progress. It is a VERY solid platform to start with and has already had all the common problems fixed and some of the best big dollar upgrades done. I'm just ready to get a boat and settle down. I've got receipts and records of everything i've had done to it over the course of my ownership. This car has been garaged its entire life. This car is VERY fast and still daily driveable. When it had just an intake and exhaust it put down 252whp and 301 ft/lbs tq on a mustang dyno (I will include the dyno sheet). Doesn't smoke or leak a drop of anything. Drives super smooth and the new clutch engages like butter. Transmission shifts into every gear at any speed smooth. Fires right up, never gets over half on the prosport temp gauge, good vacuum, no oil pressure issues. Gets great gas mileage on the interstate, sounds awesome. The check engine light does come on from time to time due to the lack of a catylitic convertor. Every now and then the SQR stage 4 ecu can be finicky on the amount of boost it will allow depending on the enviromental circumstances but it's just protecting the engine. If I was going to keep the car i'd trade it in for a different brand of ecu. Heres a quick list of what it has had done. I have receipts for over $4000 of work.

I manage a car wash so this car has been pampered cosmetically. No cracks in the dash or bad stains, interior smells great and is very comfotable/clean. Exterior wise the paint is great, never been in a wreck. There is a small dime sized ding on the passenger rear door and some small cosmetic rust bubbles over the front fender wells. Other than that the car is fairly perfect, the aero wheels are in great shape. Feel free to give me a call if you want to come take it for a spin. 828-808-2704. Thanks for looking!
