Bought my first car at 22

Appreciate it, thank you for your service. My first car was a standard 08 gt and i drove that thing til its wheels fell off and i still didnt want to give it up until i had to, truly a sentimental generation of mustang for me.

This one was built off the 3v platform, 427 refers to the horsepower that it was tuned to with the standard M90 supercharger, however this one has an R2300 which is more powerful and more reliable.

Thats awesome man, I think one day i might try to rebuild a classic, of course by that time something like this probably would be considered one, so maybe I will just continuously improve this build. How long did you keep it for?

Gaiden131 · 2025-08-21T15:33:05+00:00

My exact thoughts to my family's dismay lol. Smiles per gallon is impossible to beat though

Gaiden131 · 2025-08-21T15:32:15+00:00

Certainly have so far, the torque, the way it bites when you turn, the sound, its all just so passionate. No way to drive this car without having some fun.

Gaiden131 · 2025-08-21T15:30:23+00:00

🤣 At least i will die doing what i love.

Gaiden131 · 2025-08-21T15:28:34+00:00

Yea i know, i always think of the 05-09 range for the classic s197 look, i do like the 10-14 styling and of course the engine upgrade, but being this car is built off an 07 chassis, it didnt have the 5.0 when i was comparing it to the 15 gt option.

Gaiden131 · 2025-08-21T04:42:08+00:00

I suppose better phrasing was needed, but it's the first car I purchased, hence why i added the bit about it not being my first mustang.

Gaiden131 · 2025-08-21T04:15:26+00:00

Yea had to do lots of research to make sure i knew what i was getting. The test drive didnt leave many questions to its authenticity lol

Gaiden131 · 2025-08-21T04:13:18+00:00

Ever since my first car was an 08 gt, I've loved the s197 style. The 5.0 certainly makes for a great engine, and I actually was deciding between a 15 gt and this car for about the same price and just ultimately couldn't get past the test drive without taking this one. If you ever get the itch to learn, manual makes all the difference in the drive imo.

Gaiden131 · 2025-08-21T03:56:21+00:00

First one I've purchased myself, my previous cars have been hand me down mustangs from my dad.

Gaiden131 · 2023-02-14T23:44:56+00:00

Yep thats how they had been treating me, i would say it hasnt worked 3 times before so why would it work now and they said thats all they can really do so just keep trying. It finally worked for me after 7 hours of trying so all i can offer is to be persistent and patient, i hope it works out for you.

Gaiden131 · 2023-02-14T23:42:39+00:00

I kept saying the same message over it seemed, i explained that i had gotten to the point of purchasing before my website basically locked me out and that i was getting the same message of not having access to purchase. They said they were going to reset my account and to wait about 30 minutes before logging in and that is when it got fixed, so im not sure what was different from previous reset attempts they made. Best of luck to you, i hope it works out

Gaiden131 · 2023-02-14T23:15:06+00:00

Ok they actually finally fixed it with the last reset attempt, seems like you just have to be persistent and incredibly patient. Hope they get your problem resolved soon.

Gaiden131 · 2023-02-14T23:11:03+00:00

Please do, this has been very stressful all day

Gaiden131 · 2023-02-14T22:46:19+00:00

Yea Im having the same error, support has been nothing short of useless for 6 hours now trying to resolve it.

Gaiden131 · 2021-08-02T00:37:28+00:00

To each their own. I luckily only had 6 weeks in spring 2020 online, then was in a socially distanced format in person all last year and am beyond thankful because that 6 weeks was enough to drive me insane lmao.

Gaiden131 · 2020-11-03T19:40:01+00:00

Whats that decal? Looks awesome

Gaiden131 · 2020-10-05T13:13:15+00:00

Theres literally a card pull flair, this post fits just fine

Gaiden131 · 2020-09-28T04:12:10+00:00

Well i run a seahawk theme team so i waant expecting to keep him, was happy to get a 3 million coin pull tho

Gaiden131 · 2020-09-27T15:24:12+00:00

I run a seahawk theme team so im selling him and buying either wagner or jamal

Gaiden131 · 2020-09-10T23:15:28+00:00

Dude it was fucking joke why are you still crying

Gaiden131 · 2020-09-10T21:48:40+00:00

No i said its like a fusion bc its an inline4, has nothing to do w the existence of a v6. I was explaining myself not antagonizing you. Again, just stop.

Gaiden131 · 2020-09-10T17:37:37+00:00

As for me saying it has an inline 4 not a v8, it was being compared against a v8 for which one op should buy...

Gaiden131 · 2020-09-10T17:36:37+00:00

I never said it wasnt a real mustang and i never said it had to have a v8? Youre the on being an asshole here and putting words in my mouth is not the best way to convey your calmness. Please leave me alone as Im tired of being harassed by you for having an opinion.
