Ok, let me start by saying that it is more than I ever expected. I picked it up last night and put 100 miles on it within 3 hours around town. The most fun driving experience I have ever had. The sound, the feel....man...too sweet!!! I am sure you guys have read countless reviews by now, so I am not going to go into all of the details. Rest assured everything positive that was ever said about this car is absolutely right. No matter where I go people stop and stare. It is great!! I love it...everytime I drive it I smile. There were crowds of people gathered around my car this morning when I parked it in the parking lot at work. I know I dont have any pics yet, but I hope to get a few soon! I am having so much fun driving it and taking everyone for rides.

By the way....my Shaker 1000 did skip a few times already. When I was passing this guy at 115 mph, the shaker just stopped on me and then I had to switch discs to get it to work again. Other than that, I love the car and I can deal with any minor qualms.

All I can say is I love it, and everyone else does too! THANK YOU FORD!

Most of all THANK YOU BRAD and all of you guys here at The Mustang Source. Couldn't and wouldn't have done it without you!!

Changing the disc at 115 mph on the first day!

Congratulations on the new pony! 2400 miles on mine and I am enjoying her as much as when I first took delivery.

CONGRATS!! Next time, slow down to Ford Approved CD Changing speed of 99mph or less. It's much safer that way B)
