Hey everyone,
Just to give a quick story, I have owned 14 Mustangs, 3 being Shelby's with my current being a 2009 Shelby GT500KR. I don't really drive that car as it is a garage queen. I have purchased 20 new cars since 2000 and have never kept one more than 8 months. Yes, I have a car problem. Now I want a daily driver for the next 2 years until the new 2015 Mustang comes out. So I went to purchase a Mini Roadster and put the order in. A few hours later the dealer informed me that the rims on the car were back ordered and will not be available until June. As I test drove the car I had a gut feeling that this was just not what I wanted, especially being a Mustang guy, so when he told me about the rims that was my out and I cancelled the order. So I decided I have to get another Mustang and was going purchase a nice Kona blue 5.0 at the dealer in the next few days. Now....knowing that I am going to sell it when the new one comes out I saw a nice 2012 V6 Sterling Grey, MCS (203A) Mustang with the 19" wheels V6 PP on the lot tonight. Knowing that I'm waiting for the 15 I am seriously contemplating this vehicle. I could save thousands and have some fun. It's just hard IMO to purchase a Mustang that is not V8 but this car has more HP than my 06 Vista I had. And much better gas mileage. So my question is what do you guys think knowing this and what kind of mods could I do (not crazy) to jack it up and have more fun. Would a tune, exhaust and CAI make this V6 better. And do you recommend this model with the timeframe and theory I have?? Especially with the discounts now?? This is the window sticker...
