Proud new owner

Just wanted to have a makeshift introduction here. I've been a pretty active member over on DriveAccord until last weekend when a light pole just wouldn't move...

Proud to have met and dealt with Zach (Torched47) and now I'm the proud new owner of his White 2012 GT Premium with the Brembo package.

After flying, for the first time I might add, up to Michigan, then driving her back to South Georgia she's now got 6,800 miles and still is in showroom condition.

Looking forward to a long ownership of ______ (Insert "her" name here)

I kind of glanced over the post and thought you washed your crashed accord and it became a mustang. Lol. I should read the posts better. Congrats on the car!

Looking good as ever. Sad to see her go, but I know she will be treated proper. It was a pleasure doing business with you sir. This forum was/is a great place for all of us that have a passion for these great machines.

It's still stock shifter wise, and he actually give me some hood struts, but there was an issue with clearance and it raised the hood when it was closed. I haven't had time to try and put them on to see if they could be adjusted any.

Dang I wish they would have kept that front end...if they had I think i would be ordering a new 5.0 in white...imo that front is so much sleeker and less cluttered looking than the 13/14...they over did it with the redesign...your new ride is very nice looking...

I've said it to you already, but can't thank you enough for your honesty and willingness to hold the car. You wouldn't believe the grime I got on the inner side of the rims from the long drive... Took me almost an hour to meticulously get those suckers clean from the trip

No '12 GTs in GA? must have been a heck of a deal.

The white car looks great! I like all Mustangs but actually traded in my '11 GT specifically for the new front and tail on the '13/'14s. Love the heat extractor hood vents as well. Ford took the styling of the GT500 front and the '11/'12 GT350 tail to make one heck of a good looking Mustang. To each their own, they're all Mustangs.
