What mods to you have planned for the future?

Hopefully a set of Heads soon, tranny upgrade, suspension.

 
What was your original goal for the car(s)?

Just to do some cosmetic changes at first that are still in the future. That eventually got put on hold for now.

 
What is your present goal for car(s)?
To get into high 11's
 
What was your reason for buying the car(s)?

I've owned an 89 Gt and 93 Lx. My fiance totalled her 92 Lx and we wanted to get another one.

 
What other cars have you considered buying?
Just the Mustang.
 
How did you find this car?
Found it on ebay in Pa and got a good deal.
 
What is your favorite thing about your car? 
I like everything about it. Having a supercharger under the hood is something I've always wanted with the first two but couldn't afford at the time. So that's a plus.
 
Car / Driver achievements
Not too much to brag about yet.
 
Shout outs to people that helped you achieve these goals?
Have to give credit to Shane (Stangphreek) for pushing all the mods on me and doing most of the knuckle-busting work. Have to thank Tommy (Bottlefed) as well for getting his hands dirty with me often and always being the instigator with racing smack talk.  A lot of late nights and Mt Dew got us through it. Also got helpful tips from members of SSOTN. Big thanks to my fiance Cherish for allowing me to go through with the changes that she disagreed with. However, she loves the attention she gets when she drives it.
 
What is your Best 1/4 time?
Only two runs so far with the S-trim. Best to date is 12.70 @ 114 mph. Had some issues that day so hopefully that time will fall soon.
 
Do you have any regrets along the way?

None at all.

 
What was or is your favorite vehicle to this day and why?
Out of the 3 Mustangs I have owned, I have enjoyed this one the most I guess because of the mods done and I know more about the car. I've owned a lot of cars and my Navigator was by far my favorite.
 
What other things do you enjoy besides cars?
I enjoy sports, mainly football...Go Cowboys!!! Mt Biking, hitting the beach, Atv's, hanging out with friends, back yard bar-b-ques and Beer in the summer. Disc Golf has become a new favorite activity. Always enjoy spending time with the family.
 
How did you find SSOTN?
Shane.
 
What upcoming events in 2008 do you plan on attending/racing, if any?
Hopefully getting to a Nats and racing instead of spectating.
 
Do you have a favorite movie?
Too many to list here. I like action flicks and good dramas.
 
What type of music do you listen to?
Little bit of everything except country and todays Rap.
 
What is your favorite food and beverage?
Can't go wrong with a good steak!!
