New 5.0 W/pic
Hello everyone,
This is my first post here and my first Mustang!
I have had the car for about 2 weeks now and I absolutely LOVE IT. I have never owned a sports car before only trucks. I wish some one would of told me how amazingly fun cars can be along time ago!
I picked my up from Galpin in Los Angeles and drove it to Tacoma WA in 24 hrs. What a ball that was. I know I know you are not supposed to do long road trips on the break in but oh well. It runs perfect.
I could actually feel it getting stronger and stronger as it broke it.
The car is a 2011 GT Premium Manual and the only option I got on it was the Comfort Package.
I have gotten complements every where I go (never had that in my trucks before)
So far I have 2,000 miles on it and have only run into a few problems
1. Has only happened once but the starter got stuck on for about 3 extra seconds
2. Some how my passenger recline handle got snapped off
3. My clutch switch needed to be replaced. When you push the clutch in it hits a little switch and deactivates the kill switch to start the car well it kinda stopped working. I actually had to manually push it down the my finger then start the car?? Got it fixed but kinda weird
4. my face hurts from smiling all the time
5. my trucks feels neglected
6. My GF is mad because I spend more time with my car then her
All in all I love it so very much.
My first mod will be most likely the Kooks cat back best sounding to me so far.
I will post up more pics when I get time I only had a few seconds to take this one. So it is not very good to say the least.

I will be driving a 240 mile round trip here in a bit for work
I have never been so excited to drive for work!Also I average 22 MPG with an average speed of 79 MPH up to WA it kept getting higher as the car breaks in.
Not that I really care about MPG.
I bought it for the GO not the GAS
