Thanks guys I appreciate it! I love the black sc too! I liked the standard chrome finish as well but I couldn't turn my back on the "sleeper style" black finish. almost makes it look like OEM. if you don't know what a centri blower looks like it blends in very well!!

eagle eye tail lights (debating tinting, but if I did I wouldnt want it dark at all, just slightly darker then the way they come, any suggestions?)

jake skull floor mats and rear floor mat

jake hood liner

jake decal on A piller (not sure if that is correct, its the metal between the window and rear window)

maybe a jake exhaust plate

maybe jake shift ****

So break it down for us. You have had a modded Stang and now a modded Vette. What are the differences you have noticed between the two good and bad?

Welcome to the family!
You know, a ZR1 spilter would look nice on your car.

i would say the mustang had a nicer better built interior for sure. I believe ford has always had a nicer interior than chevy until chevys revamp in 2012-2013 and on the 2010 mustang gt premium the interior was gorgeous! I dont have pics of the interior (at night it was nice with the myColor from ford the footwells light up, cupholders, rear seating, door sill, to a color of your choosing. The mustang's stereo on the premium was nice with the shaker500 it had in-door 8" shallow subs for a nice bass to the music, but not too heavy. the mustang was definitely more spacious and comfortable, and although tight, its nice having rear seating. but overall I would definitely say I am happy with my purchase of a vette rather than the stang! vette is definitely more of a car in every aspect except the interior!

one thing i miss on the car is the exhaust, I will post a video of it but I absolutely loved it it screamed! the video doesnt do it justice on the sound at all. it ran a 8.6 1/8th mile off the bottle but on the bottle a 8.0 it was powerful never had it tuned but I would guess 420-450rwhp off the bottle not bad for a 4.6L but definitely not up to my SC corvette standard's haha.

it was the car i bought for myself my senior year of highschool and modded it all out in about 2 years and sold it for more than i had paid for it! haha

heres some pics of the stang, the last 2 with the louvers and green stripe is what the new owner has done to it.

the mods include:
Viper smartstart remote start
bama custom tune
jlt CAI
3.73 gears
pypes long tube headers
roush exhaust (uncatted)
Ford racing hot rod camshafts
zex wet nitrous 150 shot
AMR charcoal wheels
Nitto nt555 285 rear 265 front
dirty dog torque converter
