    GT, I have a question for you. I assume by your name you are the Mustang expert. I picked up a 07 GT with turbo badges. It was awfully quick. I did not notice the badges until I had it loaded, and could not open the hood. Is there such a thing as a GT turbo?

    Definitely aftermarket. The ShelbyGT500 has a supercharger, but there are no factory turbos.

    There used to be on the turbo 4 bangers. Those were cool little engines.

    Oh yeah, the SVT in the 80s.
    They used it in the Thunderbird too.

    Not factory though. Besides Rousch and Saleen, there are lots of companies doing all sorts of configurations.
    Would have liked to have seen it. You can see both of mine on my photo album on here.

    Is there anything that can happen to someone who abandons a truck, and "forgets" where they left it?

    They could probably charge you with theft of the entire truck. I wouldn't risk that.

    Grand theft auto, report of abandoning equipment on DAC (short version, you're done driving commercially) back charged for truck recovery by the company, all that good stuff. Bad Idea, in other words. Only useful if you're never gonna drive big truck again. I know a couple of guys around here who did that. One of these idiots decided to dump his truck into Geneva Swamp. He should be getting out of jail around 2012. And he had to pay for the recovery and reconditioning of the truck. Guess who'll never drive again? You got it, That Guy!
