I just picked this up yesterday, I've been wanting a Mustang GT for as long as I can remember. When they introduced the new 5.0, I knew it was about time to start saving up. I bounced back and forth between ideas of getting the V6 and the V8 because of price and a 66 mile round trip to work; luckily my wife, of all people, convinced me to get the V8 (it didn't take much convincing). This thing is awesome, and fast, I can't wait to take it through some winding roads on my way home from work tonight.

 

sexy. looks like u got a fully loaded gt nice.

 

I've always been a camaro guy but that is a nice car

 

Nice car! Did you get rid of the ranger?

The new body style has grown on me. I hated it when it first came out though.

 

American muscle.

 

looks beautiful! I wish they'd come out with a nice touch screen center bezel. All those controls look..meh. Very 2003

 

Adam, I've kept the Ranger, I hope to keep that truck for a long time. It's my trail truck and what I'll be driving in the winter. The look of the Mustang has grown on me as well... I never had a problem with the front of the car, but I didn't like the rear setup. I'm getting more used to it - maybe because I can't do anything about it.

Thanks Aaron. They do have an option with a touch screen, I just didn't want it - not only is it more money, but its more distraction from the rumble of that V8.

 

Very nice! I love those new 5.0's.

What are the packages you got?

 

Thanks - that's after using the pre-wax and the sealer and glaze I talked about in the other thread.

I got the GT Premium which comes with leather interior, ambient lighting, Shaker 500 audio system, Sync, and a USB port to control audio electronics through the radio. On top of that, it's got HID projector headlights, a security package and upgraded 18" rims.

 

that is one sexy machine!!! it needs an exhaust tho

 

There's no need to change the exhaust, it sounds perfectly awesome.

 

PURE SECHS

 

Very jealous, looking good!

 

my only complaint on the new mustangs is how the exhaust looks. they sound great but i hate seeing the muffler with a small tip like that

 

5oooohhhhhhh hoorah for stick (only way any mustang should be made) and hoorah for the interior. but (just my opinion) new cat backs are coming am i right?

 

Congrats...nice looking car

 

Awesome ride man!! I drool a little every time I drive past a Ford dealership.
I would love to have that motor/tranny combo in my Ranger.

 

those are really nice. i had one as a rental in California over the summer. the only complaint i had was that it was an awfulmatic.

 

Wow that's bad ***. Good choice john

 

Great looking car, congrats! The only thing I would have done different would be black leather!

 

If i could make two suggestions.
California GT Strut tower brace. it really makes the engine compartment pop.
Boss 302 Exhaust.
you think yours sounds good? the Boss mufflers sound like sexy time.

but that looks great, i really am kinda jealous. i want one but i want a Boss 302.

 

can i drive one day?

 

Any mods in the near future?...

 

I haven't heard the Boss 302 exhaust, but I've seen photos of them... they're the ones with the small pipes coming out before the tires, as well as the dual exhaust out the back, right? Those have to sound awesome.

Probably not lil' guy.

Near, as in Christmas time, maybe. I'd like to get a GT strut tower brace as StxDangerRanger said - I've seen them on ebay for under $200. I'd also like to get the window louvers and possibly the side scoops. That's probably it for now... it's got enough power that I'm not worried about modding it for extra hp.
