Got my VIN today! Woo HOO!

 

OH MY GOD! I just got back from driving a 2011 GT. My poor Mustang now feels like crap! I cannot believe how much nicer the 2011 is now. And do not get me started on the clutch and shifter! I thought my clutch was light until I got in the 2011. It didn't even feel like my foot was on a pedal. Like I was pushing air!

 

Scheduled for Aug 30th! It's a monday. Hopefully they will forget and do it Tuesday!

 

Congrats Tread! I'm happy for you!

Yes, the new Mustang feels very nice! I just took mine out for the first time on a drive of over 30 miles yesterday. All kinds of crazy traffic, mini vans/suvs cutting me off going there.

But, the drive home was really nice! The car is VERY good on the freeway. A real good road trip car, very smooth, very stable, almost drives itself. I'm glad I went ahead with the purchase of my 2011 GT after all the delays I had on mine!

You're going to really like it!

 

Thanks man! It's killing me knowing it's so close now!

 

When do you think it will get here? Sometime in September? I bet you're excited!

 

Well, with the all the horror stories of long delivery times I'm gonna go with October and be surprised when it shows up in September!

 

For a while it seemed that Ford had gotten the delivery time down to the normal 6-8 weeks, but I saw a new thread on the 2010+ forum that was talking about further delays. At least you won't have to wait the six plus months that I had to!

 

Yeah, I saw that thread too. I would rather not wait 6 months either!

 

I don't think you will have to. I think maybe 8 weeks is all.

What mods are you going to do? CAI? Flowmaster hushpowers axle backs?

I'm spending so much money on my 65 that I'll have to wait for a while on any mods to the 2011!

 

Hush Powers first and then maybe down the road I'll do the CAI/Tune.

 

That will be good. I'll have to listen to those!

 

Window Sticker is finally up! It's getting close!

 

That's good!

I drove mine around this weekend. It's really smooth on the freeway. The steering tracks right down the line. Almost drives itself!

I got my 65 back from the soda blast guys. The panels turned out mostly pretty good, better then I had hoped. However there was a big patch on the RH fender, so we'll replace that fender since it's cheaper then messing around with another patch.

Ouch! Did you know that it was like that when you bought it? How much is a new fender these days? Good Luck with it. I can't wait to see the finished paint!

 

No, I didn't know about that. There was a couple of dime sized spots in the paint, but when it came back from blasting, that's what there was. A new fender is only around $160. Not too bad.....

 

Not bad at all. Cheaper than I thought!

 

Yes, Mustang parts aren't usually too bad since they're popular.

 

I'm gonna live vicariously through y'all with the new 'Stangs! I'm jealous! :P

 

Well, you can get one sooner or later and then we'll be jealous of you!
