How are you liking it so far?? Any mods planned before ZDAYZ or is the budget too tight after the purchase?

I love it. It's a true drivers car. The only ones that have given me this kind of feedback have been some of the P-cars I have driven but honestly this is more fun. The engineers were told to build a driver's car and that's what they did. It doesn't suffer from the same compromise as most "every day" cars like my 370Z and 5.0 because it really isn't designed to do anything but drive. I think it makes a great compliment to the 5.0 (or the 370) because it gives you that raw "driving only" experience that the other cars have to blend with comfort, practicality, etc. I would not want to drive this car every day, so it's good to have a more civil sporty "GT" car for primary use.

As far as mods go, I don't have any mechanical mods planned. If I take it to ZDayZ it needs summer tires and new rotors and pads.

I still need to install all of my suspension stuff on the Mustang, and if it goes to ZDayZ I need brake pads for it because I don't think the HPS pads will survive down there. It also needs new summer tires.

If I buy everything I need to prepare both cars it's going to cost about $3,100 in parts and mount/balance + alignment fees.

For tires, I budgeted for Michelin PSS on the 5.0. If I scale back and put Continental DW on it, I can buy Continental DW for the S as well and stay within my tire budget. So I'm mulling options around right now. I don't want to spend too much money, but I don't want to skimp out either.

Yeah but I don't want to have to cut back on other things like guns and pcs and paying your high-end escort fees.

Paying for my high-end escorts? Sh*t, you volunteered one time...
