Mine’s an ‘08 GT/CS convertible... got it for $9.5 (but I’m in VA). Love the car! This era of Mustang is the best-looking of all the modern ones. The automatic, not so much (I can say that ‘cuz I have one too). The plus side of the auto: These cars were probably not beat-on as badly in the used market. Mine came from a wealthy older lady who used to drive it back and forth to work. The husband was a car-guy, which is how she got such a loaded car. They kept it stock, having the Ford dealer do ALL the maintenance. When I was buying the car, the lady went into the house to get a file with the window sticker, maintenance records, and all other paperwork on the car... the guy pulls me aside and says “you’ve basically just got an old-ladies car”. Even with 114k, it is near perfect.

My add ons : Borla Stingers, Gen 5 tailights, side window vents, hood struts, shorty antenae. Never seen snow, salt or rain. Love it. Many complements, especially the color. Retro style is great.

Nice vid man. I have a Redfire with the red and black interior in a 2007 GT Premium, same wheels, heated seats and the Shaker 1,000. I absolutely love my car too. One of the least expensive way to get much better performance in this car is to get the 3:73 or 4:10 rear axle ratio. Don't get the 4:10 if you are going to boost your car. First gear is useless in this config. Nice to hear the info about your Bama tune. I have a Bama racing 90 octane tune on mine with an Air Raid CAI. I have the Borla Stinger axlebacks as well. It sounds and runs so good. Strong pulls and 25 mpg on the highway if you drive conservative. I bought mine for $15,500 a year ago but with 36,000 miles and show quality interior and exterior. I can let you know what other mods I have for my car. It looks amazing!

The GT/CS is just a styling package and nothing else and you severely overpaid for that car, especially for a 2007, but I guess you know that. That front bumper is the exact same one as my '06 GT and it has full leather and it is not a CS. Of course mine is getting the GT500 rear spoiler, quarter window louvers, has full BBK exhaust and SVT wheels w/new tires (staggered). That blue is nice also as mine is Torch Red. As far as the nitrous goes... Stay away from it. You can do full bolt on parts and cams and be far better off in the long run as far as the life of your engine. Nitrous will destroy your rings and bearings especially if you plan on keeping this as a daily driver. As far as the hood (scoop) goes, change it out to a 2.5-3" cowl hood from Trufiber or Cervini. These Mustangs get crap because it is slow and cannot handle much RWHP without having to build the bottom end with forged parts. Recommended RWHP is 450 and then you need to look at doing the bottom end. And the reason why it gets so much slack about the HP is the cost it takes to get the car to 450RWHP. It is absurd. A Coyote swap is very expensive unless you find a great buy. An LS swap is far more reasonable both financially and for HP/TQ reasons. Problem is if you want a Chevy powerplant in your Ford. Lol. So to each their own, but these cars get slack because of the upgrades needed and price for those upgrades to get anywhere close to 450RWHP.

If your 06 has the exact same front bumper then your 06 was modified. The front bumper on the California Special is completely unique to the CS. I have an 06 premium GT that I bought new and I know for a fact what I’m saying is correct.
