Very nice. While I could never buy a V6 "muscle car" it does look damn nice inside and out. I made the mistake of test driving a '12 Mustang GT with the 5.0 and 6 speed manual this spring.... I could not begin to afford it but I really wanted to drive one and wow.
She looks great, congrats! |

I'm not a mustang guy, but that color is really interesting. At first I was like wow, that's bad, but I kinda like it after looking at the pics. Not my choice, but I can dig it.

I like the new mustangs, but not those crazy day-glow colors they are available in. If I bought a new mustang it would be dark gray, same as the last four cars I've owned. It's not that I dislike colors, I dislike the attention those colors draw. I don't drive slow enough to get away with atomic green or nuclear blue. Edit: OP, did you get the 3.31 rear end or the stock 2.73? |

Damn Ford got it right with the last seven or eight years of Mustangs. Those are beautiful cars inside and out.

Nice, now get that thing tinted ASAP, also I can't stand the "mustang" stripes at the bottom but that's just me.

congrats for new purchase! Thanks! Never really thought of it like that. I just didn't want some boring grey. Too many cars like that out there. Thought about the Grabber Green, but that is just too "loud". |

I am going to get a quote from a different place. you should, the tint place I used for my GT uses a plotter which means that they keep a database of window shapes then a computer basically cuts it and the tinter just has to apply and make small corrections. My entire car only took 45 minutes. |

Cool car.
The modern V6's have more HP and torque than old V8's. It's just the way things are going. You just have to get past the old school mentality. Enjoy it! |

Drop in a 3:73 gear and its like adding 50hp.
You will still get 29mpg on the freeway... |
