Me either. The 05 09 is classic imo.

This is coming from a Sn95 owner by the way.

 

Yo chevys! HER name is Ingrid. But yeah, more pics please.

 

DBGB where you located and what dealer did you pick it up at?

 

Blue Heart, I am in Pinckney. I did not pick it up at a dealer. The wife works for Ford, and we get it through a management lease program. I love the program, but it is tough to turn certain cars in. This will definitely be one of them!

 

Is that the illuminated Mustang door sill you got?

 

We finally got a sunny day. I hope I can take some pictures later today. I am surprised more people are not giving the thumbs up. Perhaps I should slow down. I will say this, the car is BAD ***....Not just because it shXts and gets.. but because it exhibits so much class. Solid and quiet. I have never driven this BMW M3, but if the Mustang is even in the class, it should win.

I love this car, and will make sure that I represent.

Now if I could just find that traction conrtol thingy.........

I am kidding.. I jam gears, and create fears.... Back in the day I was known as stocker shocker on Telegraph.

 

Ahh yes, good old program cars! Congrats, I am jealous that is for sure.
I haven't been in Pinckney since my college days, even went into the school once. I also used to run Telegraph once in a while. I worked next to BK between 8 and 9 mile. Thank goodness I don't live down there anymore. back home where I belong!
As far as the program car goes, how many miles until you have to give it up?

 

They're not a pile of kaka, just obsolete and incompetent concerning refinement, driving dynamics, engine efficiency, and power when compared to 2010+(especially 2011). But they still have good looks and considerable power nonetheless, especially when compared to most of the competition they had. This is no different than New Edge vs S197.

 

I drive a '95 SHO. It's all relative.

 

still think the 10-11 has an ugly *** too.

 

"Solid and quiet" is a good word combo. I have been using "Smooth but powerful". I hate the boat-ness of the Challenger/300 (Same thing!). I was afraid she'd come out a bit more like that with this new engine, but I was (thankfully) wrong. The car is powerful and sleek, a silken ride. I took her up to CT, in the last 3 days since I've had her I've put on 350 miles. After taking her up there though, I heard the engine ticking a little. Something that terrified me as those were the last sounds my former vehicle made. But so be it before you seat all the seals etc. As of now she's quiet and just has a nice growl/purr that she's supposed to.

The MPG is also settling down, she was guzzling for a while and now we're evening out. I can also feel the gears settling and she's actually 'breaking in'.

BTW, the glass roof is just breathtaking. The shade I got with her was a bit different than the '10 I saw at the dealers. It's more opaque, so when you don't want sun, you really don't get any.

 

Thanks for posting your impressions and pic, Ingrid/Nihl. The avatar update is hilarious. Those Pony Pkg wheels on the black car look GREAT.

 

"Yep. 05-09 looks so dated and boring now."

I'll take dated and boring over a butt like the 2010-11. Ford almost had it perfectly correct, but fumbled inside the five-yard line.

 

I'm more of a **** man myself, so it's all good for me.

I actually think Ford made a huge improvement. The '05 to '09 was fine but looked like the just "quit" after they designed the tail lights. On the '10/'11 those cool sequential tail lights are sweet. I followed one Saturday night with them.

 

The '11 car's only complaint is its rear. Just one complaint as the entire car is the best Mustang ever built. The 05-09 you have several complaints, lack of power, cheap interior, poor suspension, no hips ect. So i rather have a car near perfection with one flaw than a car with a pleasing rear end with many flaws stock for stock.

 

The only thing I am changing on my mustang is the dark horse in the grill and putting the chrome horse. What is everyone else changing or adding?

 

I'll add a strut tower brace and that's probably it. I ordered my car exactly how I wanted it.

 

I don't think you will need to. I am pretty sure the 2011 is comming back with the chrome pony. I am doing quite the opposite and changing the chrome pony with the dark chrome.

 

Gt comes with dark pony.
