Thumbs up I love this car!

I've had my car for a just over a week now and I can't get the smile off my face. I believe this is the best car I've ever owned and that's saying a lot, because I've owned more cars than I'd like to admit to. If it's not the best, then it **** sure is the most fun. Everytime I get in it and start the engine, I get this rush over me. It's like I become 16 years old again; thank God I don't drive like I'm that age though.

I also a little obsessed over this car. Originally, I told myself that I wasn't going to touch the car at all, but within a week I already put the GT500 spoiler on it. Now, every night I'm on here looking at what others have done with there Stangs and getting some ideas. So far, I've thought of adding the GT500 rear diffuser, the rear tailgate cover similar to CDC's and CDC's front lip. Of course, once parts come available, I plan on doing the normal CAI, Exhaust, Headers (maybe), a tune, and possibly switch my gears from 3.31 to 3.73.

Anyway, just thought I'd share my love for the Stang.

Glad you're happy with it. I wonder if there are any 2011 owners, other than Gene (poor guy, hope that clutch gets fixed asap!), who are UNhappy with their cars.

And I would do all those mods minus the headers. I would lower it too...

Yeah, I've thought of that too and some wheels. But all in due time, I don't want to rush into to many things at once. Who am I kidding, I'll have done all of that by the years end...ha-ha!

Im with you dude. This car is just perfection. This is a big boys muscle car. What is there not to like? Everything is just so smooth and the quality is just so great. This is just a refined car that is just a joy to drive.
Were did you get your GT500 spoiler? Any pics with it on?

Y'know now that I'm thinking about it, when I get the GT500 paid off and I'm in the market for a sorta new Mustang, I'd really like to go with the GT500 rear and Roush front, IMO would be a completely kick **** combo.

Glad you're enjoying your car. Mine still puts the same smile on my face after one year.

I'm glad to see you like it!!

Almost every time I drive my '08 CS (which is every day but it's not nearly as cool as a Coyote) someone says something about it.

Don't forget, you already have shorty tubular headers from the factory. It will be interesting to see if gains from long tubes will be worth it.

see my signature, LOL!

The 2010 GT works great for me, I can hardly imagine what the new 5.0 would be like.
