New guy from Fort Gratiot, Michigan

Fort Gratiot is on the north side of Port Huron, where Lake Huron meets the St. Clair River.
My car is a 2006 Pony convertible, black with black top and black leather interior. I added a Shelby Superstripe, black bullitts to replace the gray ones that came on it, painted the calipers white with black running pony decals on them, tinted the rear side markers black, replaced the front turn signals with black ones, shock tower covers in the engine bay, and added the "Mustang" tag to the valve covers. I upgraded to a dual exhaust using a take off from a GT500, and originally had cut the V6 bumper for the duals, but after I was rear ended it was cheaper to get a new take off GT rear bumper and replace it. It has a few performance enhancements - CAI, tuned by Lidio at Alternative Auto, a 4" Shaftmasters aluminum driveshaft, HotPart rear LCA's, the 7.5 rear end has been upgraded with 3.73 a Tlok and the LPW low profile girdle (but I'm replacing it with a 8.8" with 3.55 gears in the next couple of weeks), and a Zex nitrous system running a 75 shot. I also changed the front brakes to the larger GT brakes.
And it does see time at the track, surprising many Firebirds and Camaros
