First Ford, Former GM Guy

Hey, happy owner of a 2013 black GT here. Last ride was an 06 GTO, I did love the car, but I am just not a fan of the Camaro. One of the big gripes of the GTO was the weight, so GM comes out with a heavier Camaro . I think Ford really got it right with the 5.0 motor and I could not be happier.

Thanks all, and yeah, going from a silver to a black car, keeping it clean is a B*TCH!!! The dust in Phoenix is relentless, the car duster gets a lot of work.

Welcome and nice stang!
I am a former GM owner as well. I had a super clean, low mileage '99 Hugger Orange SS with white leather interior. Made the switch because none of the Gm cars really interest me. The ZR1 is awesome, but way too much for me and I'm not really a vette guy.
Enjoy the Mustang!!

Thanks, if I could afford a ZR1 I would rock one today, a ZL1 not so much, I'd have to scrape up the extra dough for a GT500. I am real happy with the stang!

Thumbs up Welcome DonVito

I hear ya on keeping it clean. My '07 GT was white. I spent many hours dusting, wiping and washing. Hardest color I've ever tried to keep clean. Interstate grease streaks, bugs or a speck of road tar could be seen at a distance. Brake dust specks all over the back of it was a constant pain too. I hope my new '14 (Race Red) GT won't show dirt as bad as the '07 did. Hopefully, I'll find out next month after she's delivered.
