Picked up a 2010 Hardtop GT

Looks good.
Glad you found the tuner easy to work with.
You’ll notice a difference with those changes.
And another step up if you keep going with the pulleys and 3.73 gears.
That would then be a nice place to take a break from power add ons and turn your attention to suspension work.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice and guidance I’ve received on this site. I do have the axle back exhaust to put on, and pulleys and suspension are definitely on the to do list. I’ve got a stripe kit and a front splitter coming. I will wait until they are on the car before putting some wax/ceramic coating on it. Looking forward to weather good enough to drive the car as I only drove it for about 150 kms before parking it for the winter.

Well, after two days of warm weather, and some rain, the snow had taken a beating and the roads were bare and just about dry. I could not resist taking the car for a short rip to see how it was running after the CAI and tune. Definitely sounds better and the throttle feels much more responsive. Those mods were made on the recommendation of forum members, and once again I appreciate the expertise and advice that was given and is available. A few winter Mustang sighting pictures.

Now that this Car is 15 Model Years Old it would be worthwhile getting an Insurance Quote from Hagerty Collector Car Insurance.

You most likely had it on your 04.

Besides their Competitive Rates, the ability to Insure the Vehicle for what it is actually worth and not the Black Book Value that doesn’t distinguish the difference between a Base Model and a GT is a Great Advantage

Put the car up on the new QuickJack for the first time this morning. Very impressed with the lift. Sprayed all the nuts and bolts that will have to come off to replace the exhaust with PB Blaster and will let them soak for a few days before attempting removal and installation of new exhaust.

Both look real nice.
The jack and the car.

Not Harder

Looks same as mine, we love it, handy too and fully portable.
easy to move around and set. As good as you can get,
when you can't have a host and not insane money.

I agree. Saw yours in the picture of your project. They were on sale at Costco for $1500, including delivery. Can lift up to 7000 lbs, good for anything I have. They will make it much easier, quicker, and safer, to change over mounted wheels/tires on several vehicles in Spring and Fall, as opposed to jacking on wheel up at a time.

Glad for you very good investment with it.
