Background & Plans: This was my first car - what an epic first car it has been. I ordered it from Ford back in college, specifically looking for a Grabber Blue V6 Manual (couldn't afford a 5.0.... college. That said, the 3.7 has NOT disappointed. Very similar power as a 3V especially with the better gearing afforded by the MT82). I took the mods slowly and steadily ever since the car cracked 1K miles back in late 2011 when it was still my daily, and was up until about 2017. It is now more of a weekend/funday car, with HPDE and AutoX thrown in often.

Definitely looking to hone and improve my driving skills as I previously was not pushing the car anywhere near 9/10's. That has only started recently with the advent of the Super GT Cup time trial series which has really helped me up my driver mod. It has been an extremely enjoyable journey, and I couldn't have asked for a better first car!

Also - I was featured on The Smoking Tire a couple years back. Car was mostly as it sits today, minus the RS4's, Gloc's, calimber trans, lightweight flywheel/clutch, Recaro's, and likely some other things. Was pretty fun, and it was awesome that Matt was genuinely impressed with the car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rn7AfTfAOg

Also - to clarify, I didn't name my car, that would be pretty self righteous or something like that. One of my best friends from high school gave it that name back in college when I got it, can't change it now ;).
