remove the front plate, i don't care if it's illegal in your state to do it, but it HAS to be done.

you get 3.73 and all the other go fast bits?

2012 Mustang GT with the following options

Premium pkg
401A premium interior
3.73 Gearing "zoom zoom"
19" Painted Rims
Glass Roof
Hid Light + security pkg

Chinese 6 speed manual transmission (free of charge :biggrin:)
500 miles as of now and butter smooth shifts. Way better than my Eclipse or Celica ever did. Didnt get the Brembo brake pkg because i dont track or race. Would have to get a spare tire and a set of winter tire, too much $$. I am over budget already :(

Gas guzzler. Why didn't you just get a used honda civic? You could have had one with 35,000 miles for like $35,000

I got the new 5.0 in my f150. Motor sounds awesome. I believe mine is 360hp and made for more low end/torque. I believe yours is 400ish on the horsepower and loves the higher revs. Really considering a catback exhaust. Any mods coming?


Btw sweet car. I'd went for teh Brembos just for the awesome factor though. Nothing more bad ass than a nice set of rims exposing the Brembos.

GM. That's your problem right there. I bought two brand new GM vehicles and was disappointed in both. I never even looked at them when I bought my wife's car and when I bought my truck I couldn't get out of my head how poorly made my last GM vehicle was when I was at the chevy dealer. I ended up walking out when they tried to lowball me on my Colorado. So much for owner loyalty. A ford dealership gave me $2,200 more on my Colorado as a trade in. F*** you GM.

I've heard they may have tweaked the transmissions in hopes of solving those issues, so hopefully yours won't give you any issues. Nice ride!

Nice car, OP. As an aside, I've just wondered why the Camaro is outselling the Mustang.

Both are fantastic cars. The Camaro is one of the few GM vehicles I actually like.

I'd love to get a Mustang as my next car, when my Civic finally gets run into the ground. Loving the Kona Blue paintjob. I've always liked dark blues on cars.

My first two vehicles were an '88 S-10 and a '98 Sonoma. Didn't really have any issues with either of them besides general maintenance and replacing some things on the '88 around 100k.

Anyways, OP nice car and enjoy it.
