Fixing to buy a '11, I hope!

Where do I go to find out some details about it? I tried the time lime, says 2011 but won't select it. I understand stuff on here better. Thanks!!

You may understand stuff on here better but I don't understand what exactly it is that you are looking for.

If it is just info on the 2011, then this forum is full of that info, you just have to look through the threads.

Sorry, could have worded differently. Like if it has a MPG thing? What is the Shaker 500/1000 have? What does it do the 1/4 miles in? I'll never do that, but good to brag about! I have the specs printed out, just more into it. I guess. Thanks!!

It's all here, you just have to look.

Use the search and put in the subjects you are wanting to know about.

http://www.fordvehicles.com/cars/mustang/ is a great resource to answer most of your questions. Not sure what you mean about a "MPG thing". It does tell you how many MPG you are getting and it changes on-the-fly based on your driving. It also has a little bar chart thing on another screen that helps you learn how to improve your MPG while driving.

The shaker 500 is an 8 speaker system with 4 woofers and 4 midrange/tweeters. The shaker 1000 adds 2 subwoofers to the trunk.

The 5.0 GT will do the 1/4 mile in about 12.7 - 12.8 seconds and 0-60 in 4.4 seconds.

The mileage readout is a good guide but has been proven by many to not be totally accurate.

I bought it & it's setting in my carport! It's been a long day. Too tired to even do this. I'll take pics & post tomorrow, I will try. It blows away any thought I ever had, though. It maybe the greatest car I've ever ridden in? Maybe b/c she's mine, but still. I will look & study the owner's manual for the next days. Wow!!! Thanks!!

I like to read the owners manual on line. There is a link on the Forum somewhere. It's easier than getting the owners manual out of the Mustang and thumbing through it.

I wanted to buy before I for sure had the car yet! I have a Mustang friend that said I better wait. I'm glad I didn't buy it. My dad brought up if I bought, it would prob jinx that whole process! He's right!! I thought up my 2nd Mod, won't cost that much. On my 5.0 Fender Emblems, I want that '.'/dot to be black. I hate that red!! I already have black paint pens. I have bad vertigo so I am basically always moving even when I am standing/sitting/laying down. I wouldn't even consider me doing that job!!

Yeah, if I want something I do it!! After being in my 3 month coma, taught me that life is short! There is a good chance I won't have a tom. I hope there will be, but I didn't plan to get run over by that 4 wheeler that put me in my coma. My injury has made my very impulsive!! I have looked & wanted to do this since I saw they were bringing back the 5.0! It was a fast deal, I had put a lot of thought into it though.

I've been a member of here since '05. I used the SN95 forum. I then kinda was redoing a 65, so I used the 1st Gen! I hope to sell my 95, I took that 65 back to the owner, I hope & plan to use this part mainly!!

My 2 favorite things about it! From the rear, love love the sequentials!!! From the front, I've always loved Fox Body-up with its fogs & parking lights on. This car is better than any I've ever seen! I literally can't think up words that good now, like my vocab was wiped clean. Even if I could, don't think I could put into words my love for this car!

Bud, that red decimal point in the 5.0 emblem has always been a part of the 5.0 emblem, part of the legacy you know.

Do with it what you will but you will be going against the legacy and tradition of the 5.0...

Yesterday he didn't even know if it had a "MPG thing".

Just kidding OP, congrats on the purchase.
