Ex 08 and New '11 Pics
Picked up the car tonight. Just a great experience at Van Bortel and Paul is a great guy. Took a few pics of the 08 and '11 together. Just love the '11.

All I can think when I see those pics is that I would want them both. Yeah, the '08 looks dated...but seeing it next to the new body style...in the same color, it starts to become obvious that the 05 style will have staying power. People will always like those cars, I suspect. Your '08 looks particularly well cared for and tastefully modded which helps too.
The '11 is better looking though...and it will undoubtedly be one hell of a lot faster too.
Congrats on your new car.

Thanks guys. The '11 is just so more refined than the '08. It is just way ahead of the '08 in every category. The power is great but as others say it is lacking in torque down low but hopefully a tune will take care of that in the future. Its an auto so it only has 3.15 gears which can make a difference down low as the '08 had 3.31's. I think it could do a lot with the smoothness of the engine and the quite cabin also. As we all know this is just the best GT i have ever owned or drivin in. I have had a '01 and '08 but have drivin in almost every generation Mustang at one time or another. This car just seems so solid and the quality is excellent.
The rear looks so much better in person than in pics. Put the '08 and '11 side by side and even with the GT500 rear spoiler the '08 is very bland and the whole car just looks so much bigger than the '11.
I will like to add a chin spoiler, GT500 rear spoiler for starters but all the plastic do hicky's that looked good on the 05-09 just do not look good on this car as i have seen a few '10's with the louvers and such.
Ill post better pics when i get a chance.

I don't understand why the V6 has the option 3.31 gears for the auto, but the GT gets the 3.15s on the auto no matter what. Just seems like it could be offered in the future, or a cheap mod for someone wanting a little extra acceleration.

I think this one i will just keep stock and see what the next Gen looks like. If i do not like it then do some modding. If it becomes a 2 seater sports car that looks more like a vette than a retro inspired Mustang i will just keep the '11 and mod it.
