Hey everyone-

This page is going to showcase my car, a 2000 Mustang.

It's only a V6, but it's still fun to drive, and I'm currently in the process or completing some TSNS (Top Secret Ninja "stuff"), that'll prove that you don't need a V8 in a mustang to go fast.

Anyways, you came for the pictures, so here you go!

UPDATE 12/10/04: GOT IT BACK!
I got the car back from the paint shop. A month after the accident. Here are the pics! The car looks so good!

This is my car. (duh!) I bought it in March 2003, with 37000 miles on it. piratius2's 2000 Ford Mustang Not too bad, for a four year old car. This is in completely stock form - I hadn't done any modifications to it at this point. In the next month, however, she'd see 1999 Cobra SVT Rims, a Bullit Brake Upgrade, Falken 245/45/17 tires, a Steeda Tri-ax Shifter, and a Steeda Billet Shift Knob.

All the body panels on the car are beautiful, considering it lived in piratius2's 2000 Ford Mustang Washington DC for the majority of it's life. No door dings (thankfully). In this picture, you can see the stock rims and tires, which is the only gripe I had when I bought the car. The owner put new tires on the car to sell it, and totally cheaped out and put smaller (both width and height wise) tires on the car. Instead of 225's, when I bought it, it had 205's.

Pitiful. So, obviously the first thing I had to do was to get piratius2's 2000 Ford Mustang bigger tires. Well, instead of spending a lot of money on new tires, why not just buy some rims with tires off of some dumb Cobra owner who wants to change his? That's what 99 Cobra SVT rims look like on a Black Mustang :) Also notice the brakes...the pedal felt crappy when trying to do hard stops with the big 245's all around, so I pieced together a Bullit Brake Kit - all the components in the front brakes are off of a Bullit Mustang. Red Powdercoated Calipers from Ford Racing, giant 13" rotors, also from Ford Racing. I think it turned out great!

This last shot is going to be the last one on this first page. piratius2's 2000 Ford Mustang Proud member of the NVMC! Northern Virginia Mustang Club is a great club, we hold drag days about once a month where we go to a track in Maryland and have a four hour private session, (no other cars). It rocks. In four hours, I ran 14 times, and got a best of 15.8@87mph. I know that's really slow, but for a 3200lb V6, it's not too shabby :) One of the guys told me "you're one hell of a driver if you can get a stock V6 Mustang to go that fast."

Well, on 5/22/04 I didn't get the 15.7 I was hoping for in stock form. I might have to drop a Cold Air Intake on the car, or spend a little money that would otherwise go for my Massive Engine Build. But....the massive engine build is more important that quick near-stock V6 times, so...screw that! I want my full engine built in under a year :)

6-27-04...I just picked up a new front Bumper from a GT guy who didn't want his (upgraded to Cobra) So...I got the GT Bumper, Mach 1 front lip, and foglights for under $200. I'm happy :)
