Goodbye Mustang, hello Nismo
The other Thursday we got a nasty snow in Maryland, and this happened. Fortunately I wasn't hurt, but all my plans for a 331 stroker project are now so much spare parts sitting around my basement... After test driving a Scion FR-S, Camaro SS, and mustang GT, I ended up with a 2009 Nismo.

Thanks for the welcomes. Also thanks to the guy who posted the 2009 service manual.
So far I like almost everything about this car. Power is good, brakes are phenomenal, handling is excellent, ride is relatively smooth, interior is decent, and aesthetics are killer. I promised my wife I'd keep it bone stock, but somehow I need to convince her to at least let me get some tint; barely a week and I'm getting tired of people staring in at me all the time. Also, everyone suddenly wants to race me for some reason. What's up with that? |

Sucks that I just destroyed the only car I ever owned (I'll be 30 on Saturday) and that I just got done putting so much into it... Eibach pro suspension, custom paint, Steeda shifter, MM steering shaft, Flowmaster exhaust, all new poly bushings, plus the 3.73 rear and newly machined block that was to be my 400hp swap engine.
Oh well, now I've got a badass car without all the work.
