Any performance car enthusiasts out there, post your rides!!

I was just talking to a fellow forum member who I found out was also a fellow car enthusiast, it got me thinking how many more us were on the forum.
Weather your into muscle cars, exotics or imports I would love to see what everybody's driving or working on.

I will start with my daily driver, it's a 2004 Mustang GT 4.6 V8 auto I picked up a few months back from my good friend who's a performance car dealer.
The cars has a few bolt on performance mods on the power side which include aftermarket throttle body, throttle body plenum, underdrive pulleys, high flow cats, cat back exhaust, cold air intake.
There has also been some suspension work done which includes, lowering springs, adjustable camber caster plates & a strut tower brace.
Appearance wise the only changes have been the addition of a Mach 1 chin spoiler, 03 Cobra grill, Torque Thrust wheels & white face gauges inside.

I went for a slush box over a five speed only because this thing is my daily driver, I have to commute in Central FL's rush hour I4 & 408 traffic everyday.
Doing that in one of my past 5 speed Mustangs & 6 speed Camaros was not fun to say the least.
The car has a good mix of what I was looking for, with the mods it's a more powerful & handles 100 times better. It's also not too bad on gas, gets about 21mpg mix city/highway which is way better than any SUV & on par with most import & domestic no frills V6 sedans.

She wouldn't win any drag races, but my '05 PT Cruiser ( named Lil' Bonnie Bluebelle ) definitely gets some looks as I cruise around Wichita.

She now sports a Kansas personalized tag that reads " JIVE 05 ".

It's not quite a muscle car but, at the time I bought it, it was the only production car in the country with over 100 horsepower/liter. 6 speed and 7800rpm redline. I love it!

This is my daily driver. Haven’t done anything too drastic to it. But I have made some small changes like the exhaust, intake, etc....

Very nice. Where does the wind-up key go?
