Although I still love the '96 it just doesn't seem as great.The 2011 is an incredible car!

The '11 is an awesome car, no doubt. But the '96 is a Mustang......and that's good enough for me

Both great cars

Yes, I'm keeping the vert.

Actually, they are 2 different pictures.

I have only had the vert for just over 2 months and I have only put 350 miles on it. It has less than 60,000 miles on it. We just bought the 2011 on Saturday.

They both handle great, but the 2011 rides much smoother. It is faster too, as it should be with the 305 hp. The vert has only 215 hp.

The most important thing about the 2011 is my wife loves it.

Looks like you got yourself a keeper there. My GF would probably believe me if i were to tell her it's got a V2 under the hood ! No kidding.

All that Power comes from the V2 Ecoboost.


To OP: Awesome '11! The '96 looks pretty clean for 14-15 years old. I'm sure the 11 is in good hands!!

One advantage for the '96 is the fact that it is a convertible. It sure was nice driving around the backroads this weekend with the top down and 70 degrees.
