Base GT, 5.0L 6 speed manual. Security and Rear Sensor package.

Glad they actually made the mustang respectable again

Awesome man, I'm not a ford guy but those are sharp. About time ford came out with a decent powerplant again...it's only been what, 20-30 years?

 

[pur pony]

looks nice... I keep debating if i want to sell my mustang and get a new 2012/2013.. i just cant bring myself to part with mine...I plan on keeping it forever.

I just got a set of those wheels yesterday for my Lincoln!

OH MY !!!!

one of my favorite cars on the road right now.

easily the best bang for the buck for any muscle car/pony car manufacturer.

i myself have a 392 Challenger, but i really respect those 6-speed 5.0's.

the AUto 5.0's don't scare me on the street - the 6-speeds have the sweet 3.73 gear

i have yet to race one, but from what i have seen on youtube and stories i have read on ChallengerTalk, the 6-speed 5.0's will give the 392 a run for it's money.

ANY tuned 5.0 with intake and exhaust will hand the 392 it's ass about 70% of the time since the 392's can't be tuned....

i have test driven 3 of them now - seriously have considered picking one up - imagine having a 392 and a 5.0 in the garage !?!?

DREAM !!!!!

Love it! Love the color and everything!

 

[oh9bolt]

You should have got a WRX...

Looks good. [up]

 

[Litos]

WRX are awesome, but hardly anything as awesome as the new 5.0 HAHA !!!!

STi, maybe (i had an 05 STi and it was the most fun vehicle i have ever driven - like ever !!!).

with a tune, intake, exhaust and DR's, these cars are seeing high 11's.....

grats Ron

 

[oh9bolt]

Refer to this if you didnt know what I was talking about.

 

[Litos]

ok, i just read that abomination ovf a thread HAHA !!!

looks like he went with the much faster car.

again, i LOVED my big turbo's STi, but this new 5.0 is where it's at.

i said it's the best bang for the buck right now in the entire automotive world.

powerful, great on gas, handles like an M3, crushes SS's and will run with 392 Challengers.

easy pick.....

My brother just bough a 2011 5.0 the same color. He LOVES it!

How many pages will this thread get to?!?!?!? Lots of WRX (and Mustang) fans on here! Both great cars in their own way! Enjoy it man! Grats[up]

 

[Litos]

here's my car and my buddy's car from Dallas (actually my little brother's buddy, but we still talk on occasion).

he had a 2010 6-speed with Bama Tune, intake, exhaust and would run consistent 12.30's on street tires and trap 114mph - that's crazy.

he has since traded it in for a 2012 auto white 5.0

 

[blacksmith]

Congrats man. I love mustangs and that color is gorgeous. Hope to get one of my own before Obama forces us all to drive fertilizer-powered golfcarts. ;o)

 

[hansmoleman]

Sweet ride man, couldn't have picked a better color. Is it Azure Blue?

 

[Zeroflat24]

i really dont like the older mustangs. they were turds that made a lot of noise. and i defiantly would buy and STi over a ford, but the new mustangs do look freaking sweet! nice ride man.

 

[Red93stang]

The Coyote motor is a home run for Ford IMO and I love the things the aftermarket has been able to do with just a tune. John Lund did a awesome job with his ghost cam tune!!
Nice car Ron!!

 

[03Firebolt9R]

Nice Mustang Ron. I love the new taillights.

 

[Dingo]

great engines!! 302 [up]

Thanks guys! I love it. I still have my leased Mazda 3 for this coming winter until march. So I got a winter car for now. After that I will try pick up something around 5k for the next few winters.

I still love the WRX. Ideally I would have that for winter and Stang for summer. Maybe one day!
