    Anyway, really glad you finally go it. I know you will enjoy it.

    I will probably do the skip shift this weekend.

    I couldn't believe the Mustang took the bait last night. It's so bad for me that I was pestering an early 90's Mazda 626 because he took off quick at a light...LOL!

    Yeah, I'm a little disappointed in the size of the rear tires as well. They need to be at least 275's, maybe wider. I wonder if wider tires could be fitted to the car with the right rims...

    Anyway, congrats, man! Enjoy!

    Now I just need to concoct an evil scheme to get one of my own...

    Great to hear you finally got it and nice color choice. It fits the car very well.

    Get this thing baselined ASAP and get to the modding.
