Finally Got My Mustang!
Hi Everyone,
My name is James and I just picked up a 2011 GT. I've been longing for one of these cars since their introduction in late 2010 and before that I was a Fox Body 5.0 fan.
My Car is a 2011 GT 5.0 Six Speed in Yellow Blaze Tri Coat. It's got the Factory 19's and the Brembo's, but not much else. I'm looking for a build code decoder (and where the build codes are located) to find out just exactly what it has. The vin decoder here on the site confirmed (mostly) that its a base GT. I bought it used a litle over two weeks ago.
Got some mods planned and looking forward to driving the car. it's exactly what I wanted and now I can take it and make it mine...
I'm looking forward to browsing the forum and finding out some tips and tricks and maybe even attending a few meets.
Cheers Folks!

Thanks guys, will get pics up soon. Working off my iPhone until my Internet gets installed at my new place on Sunday. I couldn't get the link to work, maybe once I see it in a full tool bar I can make sure it's right. It was saying something about an invalid vin. I did it three times and got the same results. Pretty sure I didn't miss anything.

Having issues uploading pics. went to the sticky and haven't gotten any ideas. I've used Irfanview and can get the physical size reduced, but not the file size. Not sure how to do that. Also created a photobucket account and the image tags wont work. Stuck. I have a cool post burnout pic from last night too!

The Link for the window Sticker worked! I'm rocking 3.73's, Tape stripe Delete, Spoiler Delete, and The Brembo Package! No Sync or Bluetooth, No satellite radio. Rapid Spec 300A

I have a pic of a post burnout from my lunch break on Saturday night but I'll have to wait until I get home from work to load it.

Having Fun with the Traction Control off...
1st, 2nd and 3rd! Let out of it in 3rd after I realized how fast I was going with the tires still spinning...Something I'll have to get used to I suppose.
