    I LIKE the last one. Do they fit the same on an '11 you think? I didn't see a "buy now" link on your site that mentioned an '11. I have the '11 GT Deck lid on mine already which is why I was asking. I'll have to see how that's setup when I get it back Monday.

    '11 Ingot Silver against the Texas cliffside...

    I found this on Wikipedia: So apparently more states require a front plate than don't. I'm glad TN doesn't. :D

    Awesome Graphics on that thing!! :nice: I would SERIOUSLY consider putting that thing on my car as is. :flag: I would suggest adding a reference to the Pentagon, and the Flight 93 folks. Or, make two others with those on it. You may get too much on there with all that, 'cause like...

    v6 Swap?

    Forget all that, do what you want! The value all depends on you. If you have no plans on selling it and want the updated V6 swap it! Just make sure you check out all the potential fit issues, like engine mount placement, etc. And have fun at it.

    Deer Damage '11 GT

    Well, its getting there. Looks like the 1/4 window Louver is all that is left. Update: As I was posting this they called me telling me it was ready to pick up. I won't have time today, so I'll have to get it Monday. I'll take a pic or two then and post it up!

    5.0 - Better fuel economy on regular (non-premium) gas?

    Well, yea. Puttin' all that money in the car, now we're scrimping where we can to pay for it. :D No, just wanted to know how it handled it. Like I said the 87 is as low as I'll go, but I just wanted to see. You know what they say about curiosity.

    5.0 - Better fuel economy on regular (non-premium) gas?

    Due to the crappy gas prices I have gone to the midgrade, but I think thats about as far down as I'm going to go. That is unless I'm going to go on a long road trip and will just be doing interstate miles. However, I did notice that the MPG did go down a little when I did test the Regular...

    Deer Damage '11 GT

    I hope no one is getting tired of this, but I'm finally beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Looks like they have the Quarter Panel Painted, and windows installed. I'm sure some clear coating, etc. still needs to be done, but to see it blue again is a good sign!

    '11 Ingot Silver against the Texas cliffside...

    I think all those pics just prove one thing. Any way you look at it, the 'Stang is a beauty! :D

    Brand new "Base" 2011 GT - 6-speed. Newbie questions:

    The only questions I can honestly answer are the last 2. However, I do have a suggestion to go with the answers. Suggestion: If you really want improvements (such as the shaker 1000 vs the standard 500 in the GT) don't buy the base model. Unless, of course, you plan on doing more than just...

    Deer Damage '11 GT

    Well, its either getting uglier or better by the day depending on how you look at it. I'm still kinda worried that some of the primer dust got on the seats as in the last pic it didn't seem they had the whole back window covered. But here's the result: Expected delivery date is 12/14 so...

    A little embarrassed...need help

    Another way to prevent that is to do the spin out just prior to the race to heat the rubber, or to save rubber try a slightly lower RPM to start with. This engine can catch up. Of Course, this is only until you get the fatter and/or softer tires. :D

    Deer Damage '11 GT

    Not Sure about the bottom of the Quarter Panel. That puzzled me as well. I'll have to ask about that when I get the car back. The Window Scoop? If you mean the 1/4 Window Louver that's probably still attached to the original Quarter Panel. Along with the Side Scoop Just behind the driver...

    Deer Damage '11 GT

    Pics. First the "Before they start Pic": (Notice the weather very much reflects my mood at the time they took this one) First Day, they have the Quarter Panel on. Then They get it all wielded up: At this point I can't tell if they've removed the back glass or not. Started...

    Deer Damage '11 GT

    I couldn't find the deer so no venison either. grrrr. They're workin' on it, looks pretty darn rough at the moment. I'll put up the pics I have of the work when I get home. Firewall guys block pics here @ work. Deer scratched the door handle (hence why I think it was trying to get it such a...

    Deer Damage '11 GT

    So, six days after I get my '11 GT Premium a deer from what I can guess, decides to try to climb into the Driver's seat. :eek: I would have killed the darn thing with my bare hands if I could have found it after it happened. It was so dark all I saw was a dark shadow in the mirror. :fuss...

    No Rear Floor Mats? WTH??

    I agree with both the last 2 posts. The two back mats should come as a "Thank You" from Ford, and/or the Dealer, AND if the dealer doesn't "give" you the mats they should be purchasable from Ford. its not like the included mats are all that anyway. They're just glorified carpet. If the...

    Not a fan of the "5.0 is back" theme

    I agree with routs. I've been a Mustang fan since I was 14, always seeing them from afar, (except for a few year models that looked uglier than they should have). I finally decided to pull the trigger when I read up on the new 5.0 after hearing it was "back". When I read about the HP, and...

    How many Miles on your 5.0 when you picked it up?

    350 They had to go get it. Ticked me off 'cause I wanted to go down and get it, but "insurance liability" made that more difficult than it was worth. :nonono:
