Congrats! While I love Mustangs, I have a strange weakness for German cars too.

 

To fold the seat forward, the buttons that show < >...ahh I don't know..I'll find out.

The throttle response on this motor with its 8 individual throttle bodies is just simply amazing. The car only makes 295 lbs/ft of torque but it revs instantly. Also the 6 spd. gets a 3.85 rear end and a set of 4.10's is a real kick in the pants for these cars. With software it can redline at 8600rpm while fuel shut off stock is at 8400rpm. I have to wait for 1200 miles to stretch out the tach though.

I love most German cars, except modern VWs
I was eyeing old BMWs before buying the 94 GT.
I like these a lot:



I have an 1:18 scale model exactly as this one ^

 

E36's are still very popular..

Is that image from "Clueless"?

Sorry to hear about not getting the 2011 5.0 Mustang. 'Fess up, it was the rear end that ultimately made the decision easier right? Just kidding! Was wondering, does the lease expire around when the 2014 Mustang shows up? In any case, I'm sure you'll enjoy your new ride.
BTW, that's Reon Kadena in your avatar isn't it? IPOD commercials....

 

Yes it is Reon. What made me not get the 2011 GT, a few things. Wasn't the rear end as far as the body work, but the lack of IRS among a few other things just made me want to bone up and pay for the M3. I think the Mustang GT is a hell of a car..the fact I got out of a Porsche 997S to even consider the Mustang tells you I think the car is a contender. Its almost there..in my eyes it needs to ditch the IRS and up the interior just another notch and it is there. Yes my lease is up in 2013 right when the new Stangs are coming out.

One interesting thing about the M3 is this could be a short lived run for the E92 M3 as the car in 2012 or 2013 is going back to an inline 6 twin turbo in the 450hp range with high rev (8k rpm) capability. Making the E92 M3 an instant classic as the only M3 ever produced with a V8 that redlines at 8300 rpm (fuel shutoff at 8400).

They have some fast E36's here. Some are turbocharged, others with N2O I know a guy that was on my tech school that has an 87 w 473 rwhp on turbo power It's best run so far has been 11.33 et in the 1/4 mile He needs to work on getting better traction to lower his times.

Found it on google.

 

Their are some great buys out their on new cars if you look.
2010 Corvette 1LT for $42,000 (Local Dealer $8,000 Off)
2008 Shelby GT500 for $38,000 (Recent Deal)
2011 Mustang GT for $27,500 (Base at Invoice - $1250 in Rebates)
2010 Nissan 370z ?
2011 Mustang 3.7 ?


I think you are getting a lot of car for your dollar with any of those.

 

Huh? Wrong thread I think...
