new guy on the street

Hey yall. Heard good things about this mustang community. Glad to join. I am currently cross-shopping my next car, one of the options is the 2013 GT. Looking forward to contributing and learning from this community.

I currently drive an Acura RSX as my daily. Looking for a fun car on the side.

I am originally from the chicago area and currently reside above the border in wisco. cheers!

Brembo is a must. thinking black or one of the shades of grey. no stripe. price will dictate whether premium or not.

Welcome - When it came to color, I wanted Grabber Blue, but bought Performance White for invoice, and eventually had a choice of Black or Kona Blue.

No Kona for 13, but Deep Impact Blue is pretty sweet! Gotta Have it Green... personally, I don't gotta, but it's *your* ride, and if you're happy with it, that's *all* that matters!

Options? I wanted it all, but Mr. Wallet said no. Still, very well equipped with just a base package - actually equal or more than my 95 Lincoln had!

Are you at the definite point yet or, if not, what are your other car considerations? Just curious.

The Sterling Gray is really nice, I must say, but I like the 13 better in black b/c I think it makes the grille & surround a little more subtle. For fun-car-on-the-side, Id go Premium, then Brembo or Track Pack if $ allows. You can always add Brembos & gears later, but not TrackApps. Maybe even Recaros first, if you like them. Gears would be the cheapest of the 3 to do later though you basically get free install if you order them with the car. Just some thoughts.

No I'm not at the definite point yet. But the mustang is winning the which car is next race. apparently it tends to do that at races. The other options I were considering were 370z, s2000, bmw 1 series/m, and even that new toyo-baru BRZ/FRS or boxster/cayman.

I had heard about those track apps. Sounds really cool. Rather similar to say the Nissan GTR/skyline gtr. Honestly though, if I went with the stang, I might get rid of the acura and make it my daily because it is so practical and fun. Quite a bang for the buck car. I think I subconsciously want to do this because I am leaning quite heavily toward the mustang. Plus Z-plan pricing helps sweeten the deal. second place is prolly the 370Z.
