Seeing how the Brembo Brake Package of the 2011`s only accounted for what, 6.7% of all the Mustangs built, I would rethink the concept "popular" when it comes to the track pack or the BBP.
It may be popular for us man, but we are a very tiny force.

To answer your question, I do believe you are right that you need at least a Premium V6, as the base model only has cloth interior. But it's really worth paying extra for all you get with the upgraded model, the base is pretty low rent, esp. the steering wheel. Personally, I don't mind the cloth upholstery, but the 'rubbermaid' steering wheel, and no Sync or decent stereo, make it a no brainer. You can get some great deals on leftover '12 models now too.
Dealer around here only has base V6`s. That is the only thing they have in stock, and amazingly, it sells.
But probably because of the cheap price -well relatively around here- but I think mostly because they just don`t know what they are missing. You can`t miss what you haven`t experienced, nor you can`t desire what you don`t know it exists.
Sat in one, wasn`t that bad after all, fired up the engine, in a closed space, sounded good for a V6, yeah.

I looked at the new GT 500 today and WOW. I must say the tail is way better in person than it is on camera. For some reason the taillights looked orangish to me on camera but in the flesh they are very cool and pure red. The nose is also wide open and didn't have a mesh behind it. I was disappointed that the didn't have a 2013 Gt or BOSS to sit in but the show was a good time.

Nice pics...wow indeed. I can't wait to finally see mine in person. Just CAN NOT get enough of the front of that car. No, that's not right. It's not a car. It's a driving machine. Probably six months out and the hair on the back of my neck already stands up when I see pictures like this.

To be honest, the reason the '13 is on my radar now is how much content they added over the '11-12 cars for very little cost, and how difficult it is to adapt certain key features over to the older car. Given that if the sales are slow (which I hope ISN'T the case) and rebates are big with those waiting for 2015MY, this car could be an even bigger value than most think it is. I told myself over and over that I'd wait for 2015, but I may opt for a 2013-2014 car instead and pay it off.

I snapped pics of the same car today cowboy.....too funny. I was there earlier in the afternoon so plenty of people in the background. No sense posting additional pics I guess. The DIB color is amazing and will be the color of the 2013 I will soon order.

Yeah I went a little early. I figured that color was DIB. I asked one of the ford people and he told me he thought it was sonic blue. I just shook my head. I hate it when I know more about a car than the people selling them.

Note* My 2003 GT is Sonic Blue so I know the color well and DIB is definitely darker but the same metallic value. I like it more than my color. It has less of a purple hue than Sonic Blue.

Hello, I am new to the community, find this forum great and interesting, I've been reading for a few days and decided to join in. I'm in Costa Rica and I ordered my first Mustang, a Sterling Grey 2013 GT Premium on 3/2 (Dealer said I might get a VIN by the third week of March.), have to wait extra weeks to have it shipped down here, but I'm really looking forward to that first drive.


Really s***s having to pay the import taxes, ridiculous in this country 53%

Time will tell but I really believe this Torsen diff is gonna be a big draw. I expect that percentage to increase.

Funny how since we're all lovers of mustangs and are all on this site forget that we make up a very small percentage of the mustang population.
Although on this site the popularity of the track pack seems like a big draw, it will make it to a very small percentage of units built. Believe it or not most mustang owners never make it to a forum like this.
