Hello from Clearwater, Florida

Name's Kevin, always been an Import aficionado ( not rice ) but now it's time for my first new car to be a Mustang, so I'm here to find out tips and tricks and just join a good forum! Going from PassatWorld to TMS hah, quite the jump.

What's a 3.73 rearend, what's that mean? Doesn't it have to do with the rear axle? Well since I'm a college student, I only want to be so much in debt and my budget tops at 25k which is enough for a 2012 GT or 2013 v6 Premium. I've been saving up for a Mustang for a good 8 months I'd say so I only need to take out a 10k loan and I'm planning to pay it off within the year. Plus I'm going to get x-plan pricing which will help tons!

3.73 rear axle ratio, as in high performance. I think stock is 3.30. Not going to get 2013 GT for under $30,000.00. Might get a V6, 6-speed, with 3.73 for $26,000.00.

I'm used to FWD lingo, so didn't know, but now I researched it and know more about it, yeah I didn't say 2013 GT, with x-pricing I can get the 2012 GT for 25k plus I still have my current car to sell. I'm really digging this '12 6 speed in kona blue I saw today with 11k miles for 20k v6 premium. I have to go back tomorrow and see if I can seal the deal.

Thanks to everyone else by the way!
