That's my girlfriend in the photo.... So don't get confused!
Lovingly known as the "Mean Green Machine", I'm working on finishing my car and I am pulling every available string to get this 4.6 NPI GT some respectability. SN95's rock!
I purchased this car in August of 2002 with 42K miles and have since spent an ungodly amount of money on it. Currently the odometer reads right at the 102K mark (April '07). The leather interior is emmaculate (except for the driver seat of course). The car has a tan interior with black dash. There are a few minor imperfections, but for a car that is 9 years old it is quite impressive. The car is fully loaded with all available options.
I have had to replace a lot of crap on this car.... the battery, fan motor, tires of course, EGR valve and sensor, rear brake pads, steering rack and pinion, I recently had PCM?ECU failure (loads of fun) and the top was replaced due to hurricane Ivan a couple years ago. This past January (2007) I had to have the transmission rebuilt. Other than a few minor knicks and scratches, and the clearcoat seperating from the rear bumper, and the desperate need for a wash and wax, the car is impressively clean. I wanted to get it repainted, but I have since given up on the car and am no longer modding it. Since I did get this neato Cobra R hood courtesy of Carbonware.com I would have been adding a cobra front fascia, replacing the rear bumper and adding a set of smoked cobra head & foglights. But, instead I have been selling off my uninstalled parts and abandoning the car altogether. Here's a couple shots of the hood that currently resides in my dining room wating to be sold.
Thank you Carbonware.com!!! Sorry I have to sell it...

Next mods:
I was planning on some drivetrain work with a tranny cooler, Torque converter and a Transgo shift kit, but that isn't gonna happen. As I said I wanted to replace the bumpers with a cobra front and stock rear along with the cobra R hood. I also planned on a set of smoked head/fog lights. I hoped to paint the car the factory color but instead just maintain it until I can afford a new car. I need to install my rear seat delete kit too. It's sitting under my bed....
My best 1/4 mile ET thus far is an unimpressive 14.6 @ 94mph. My car is slow. With the Control arms and drag radials I hope to get the car in the low 14's but it isn't gonna get any faster unless I lose weight or strap a rocket to it. I gave up.
