First Mustang EVER
I've just purchased my first Mustang ever!! (In fact, it's my first FORD ever!) 
I've always liked Mustangs ever since my buddy in University had a 5.0L LX. I remember hitting the Ford dealerships and looking at the new 'Stangs, dreaming "one day, one day."
But when I got older and finally could afford a new car, fuel efficiency won out and went a Honda Civic Si. Later I went Acura CL Type S and BMW 325i. Unfortunately my dreams of a new Mustang drifted away like an old forgotten girlfriend.
But got the urge to buy a new car recently and it happened to coincide with the return of the 5.0L V8. I've read every review and every post I could find, and I just don't see how I could go wrong with a 2011 Mustang GT. Especially with a class-leading fuel efficient engine!
Did the deed and picked her up last week. I'm as proud as can be, showing it off to everybody I can find.
There's not a thing about this car I don't love. The color... the upgraded brakes and wheels... the Navi with Sync... the drop top... the seats... I could go on and on.
Just wanted to drop you guys a line and say a big THANKS for all your posts.
Here's my first couple pics!

Normally removing the front plate is my first mod!
But that's on a Civic and Acura... couple buddies said that if I do it on a new 5.0L mustang, I'm just asking for a cop to pull me over

(At first I was torn between this one and a Red Candy Coated California Special automatic, but i went with Sterling Grey manual with Brembos instead... the hood scoop clinched the deal!)
Yup got the current employee pricing promo!
I agree take that plate off.

Looks Great!
Similar to my order, I hope to get it soon. Does it have the pedestal spoiler? Just asking because usually the hood scoop comes with that spoiler as part of the GT Accessory Package?

Welcome to the club. Great looking car. If you're going to pick a time to get a mustang, you could not possibly pick a better time. The 2011 is by far the best group of mustangs (v5, gt & gt500) ever produced. ENJOY!
