    2011 V6 Performance Package - Worth It?

    One of the reasons I went with the gt was that the 6er didn't have this package available when I was ready to buy. I would get this in a heart beat. But, then again i get a chunk of pleasure out of on ramps!

    15 or Less MPG? Something Wrong?

    I get 15 as a daily driver, like others around 30% freeway, I drive reasonably like a grand father most of the time, getting on it very occasionally. On long freeway trips I'm looking at 20+. I guess this is about as good as it's going to get. 4000+ miles.

    Anyone have any idea if Ford has plans to make the auto trans "shiftable"?

    I was thinking about waiting for a manual with paddles and I assume it won't be too long before they put it out, but I went with the manual. It's so nice to row my own gears again. My 05 was an auto and with the help of the bama chips tune, it shifted smartly, but still love to shift...

    went back to stock... bought a LS3 Camaro

    Beautiful car! I'm sure you'll enjoy the hell out of it. I personally would have gotten the 2011 5.0, but hey different strokes. You're driving 400+ ponies of American Muscle and that is a VERY GOOD THING. Have fun.

    Drove: 2010 Convert and at 2011 5.0 Fastback.

    When I went for a test drive, the salesman told me to just drive it as hard as I wanted. I didn't do smokey burn outs, but I did accelerate aggressively enough to leave some rubber on my 1 - 2 shift and I hit on ramps at double their posted speed. Then I bought a different car from the...

    The Mustang Wave?

    I posted this on another forum, just thought I would increase visibility by posting it here as well. First I'm a lifelong Mustang guy. My first car was a 69 Mach 1 and while I have been in other cars from time to time, well over 3/4 of my 30+ years of driving have been behind the wheel of...

    2011 GT 5.0 or 07-09 Shelby GT 500

    I was in the same place a couple of months ago. I went with the 2011 because of the driving experience. My car absolutely spoils me every time I drive it. The electronics package, brembo package and high reving 5.0 sealed the deal. A few simple mods and it will be up to over 400...

    Bought a 2011 GT yesterday...

    Sounds like you have a beautiful car there. Can't wait for pics. Shame about trading in 2010, likely took a pretty bad hit, cut yes the 2011 is one hell of an upgrade. ENJOY

    Opinions on the value of the NAV option

    THE NAV on the 2011 mustang is OFF THE HOOK! I have had a Garmin it worked very well. I have a Android 2, it works very well. But, I love my ELECTRONICS PACKAGE. Worth every dime. It spoils me!!!

    Goodbye to an old friend

    My son was sad when I told him I was selling my 05 gt, but thrilled when I told him I was selling it to one of my clients, so he could see the car almost every day. As a note the guy who bought my car is around 6'6" and his name is Anthony. The problem is there are way too many anthonys...

    Bought a New Challenger - Sorry Ford, Rant Included

    GREAT LOOKING CAR! It's hard to argue that it's not one of the best looking cars on the market. That said, I'll just be happy with my little mustang.

    Bought a New Challenger - Sorry Ford, Rant Included

    I hope you enjoy your Dodge, they are great looking big comfortable cruisers with great motors. That said, I got my 5.0 for 750 under invoice. I know others have done better. My local dealer was willing to knock a couple of grand off msrp on a 2011 gt500. TEMPTATION WAS AMAZING...

    Should I get the manual

    I love the manual transmission. I've been driving automatic for the last 4 years and this new (2011) stick is slick and smooth. Traffic in my town is not nearly as rough as Los Angeles and a manual is a workable option that I am enjoying tremendously. Perhaps if I lived in a major...

    Mustang GT, non premium

    As per the base, I too thought of going this route. I mean hell what we really want is the motor and transmission. Ok Ok maybe the brembo package has some inherent benefit as well. Man, I'm so freakin' glad I picked up the premium. The sync/electronics package is amazing. I am...

    Mustang GT, non premium

    When I went to Galpin to buy my 2011, the sales guy typed in my name and zip code and found both a $750 and $500 rebate for me. I had no idea that was done. When I bought the wife's Tundra 3 years ago, no such service was offered!!! I assume that all Ford salesmen can and will provide...

    2010 Camaro

    I'm a mustang guy. Pretty much always have been. That said, the new camaro has a great motor and is really good looking. The G8 isn't anywhere near the worlds best sport sedan. I've driven them, great car, but no where near the BMW M5 or the new CTS-V for that matter. For the money...
