It is time to part ways with my 2008 Mustang GT. I have other projects in mind and also have a 17 GT so having 2 mustangs has become less practical with each day. I have treated this car very well, changing oil with Mobile 1 Synthetic every 5K and the supercharger every 5K as well. Never tracked the car and never “got on it” until the car was at normal operating temperatures. I am the second owner (bought at 60k miles)
Year:2008
Make:Ford
Model:Mustang GT
Trim Premium
Color:Vista Blue
Transmission:Auto
Mileage:96,XXX
Modifications:
-Paxton NOVI 1200 SL
-Ford Racing 39LB Fuel Injectors
-40 PSI DeatschWerks Fuel Pump
-Tune by Brenspeed on 93 octane
-SR Performance 62MM Twin throttle body
-JBA Long tube headers
-JBA Catted H-pipe
-Pypes Pype-bomb axle-back
-SR Performance adjustable sway bar kit
-Pypes electric cutouts (located just past the LTH’s, button in center console)
-GEN5 Raxiom Taillights
-Raxiom smoked halo fog lights
-Axial smoked headlights
-Kensun HID conversion kit (headlight and fog lights. I have an extra set of headlight/foglight kits due to there being a previous issue with one of the ballast, they just resent the whole order.)
-Whiteline Adjustable Panhard Bar (not installed)
-Speedform Lambo door kit (also not installed)
-extra set (4) of Mustang wheels/tires (not pictured but it’s the stock set that has the 10 spoke and the removable center cap to get to the lug nuts)
-2 Jensen 10 inch subs (dubw10) and a JBL GTX500W amp (sounds really good, compliments music and does not rock the block but has that capability if you turn it up).
-Sony MEX-XB(120BT? Not 100% on the model) stereo unit
Additional Info:
The Good
This thing is an absolute powerhouse for a daily driver on this safer tune by Brenspeed. Without any modifications they rate the kit at 505 HP/470TQ. Never took it to see where it’s at so that’s the only reliable numbers I have for it without just guessing. Car has been babied its whole life that I’ve owned it (second owner), never seen the track but I was also never afraid to get on it (after it was at normal operating temperatures ECT)
The Bad
Body
-Front and rear bumper have had better days. Rear bumper by the trunk access has definitely looked better. I can’t really figure out why it had happened, I don’t use the trunk often or anything like that. Front bumper, Paint started bubbling and falling off then girlfriend bumped into an inanimate object at about 1mph and caused those bubbles to get worse and have stress lines.
-Couple small cosmetic issues across the car, I left it in a buddies hands when I was deployed and the lot he parked it in had caused it to experience a few dings/scratches.
-I am the second owner and it had no reports of any accidents but I think they got a MAACO job or something and the paint just started to give way. There is also a little crack under the front bumper that was patched so I believe they had just repainted the whole thing?
Suspension
-Front struts are at a point where they should be replaced soon but I was planning on lowering the car (thus the uninstalled panhard bar) but I feel its time to move on from the car so I did not put anymore money into it as far as modifications.
Interior
-As you can see the sides of the seat have some stress markings that looks pretty normal for an over 10-year-old car, they looked like that when I got it and they have not gotten worse.
-Shifter paint was peeling so I was experimenting with dipping it just to see how durable that stuff was (I never believed it would hold for long especially on a piece I touch often) It peels right off since I applied it properly (same with the second spare set of wheels, peels like it just went on yesterday).
-AC Actuator sometimes acts up, the A/C mode changed but sometimes gives some audible clicks. Never wanted to take the dash apart just to fix a little issue like that until I had another reason to go in there.
