For me the Mustang wasn't even really on my radar at all with a 300hp GT. THen the Coyote came out and then it was on the radar, but with that back end, not too much. 2013 changed that for me. Even after nearly a year of ownership it still almost feels weird to own a Ford. Honestly thought I'd be in an Ignition Orange 2SS Convertible with silver stripes.
I would never of thought that I would own a Ford, ever. I was looking into buying a 2013/2014 Inferno Orange ZL1 Camaro. The GT500 was my intended buy originally, but it would of hurt my wallet way too much. Then, found the Roush and the rest is history.

I was hoping in 2014 they might do it but when I found out the colors I left my 13 order in...

would've been a good send off for the GT500 - Lava Red/Silver, Yellow Blaze/Tuxedo Black, GHIG/Matte Black, Comp Orange/White or Matte Black, Black/any of the aforementioned colors, White/any of the aforementioned colors.

Plus, we have the "tax", (as they call it), in MA, excise tax. My excise tax for the Roush was almost a car payment!! lol With the Shelby it would have been much more as well. They base it off of your car's "estimated" worth according to I don't know what. Then, figure in the sales tax and it jumps again. Our sales tax is 6.25.
I am VERY, VERY happy with my Roush. It's like a hybrid between the Shelby and Boss, so I get the best of both worlds.

Yes, it's a 2011 rear bumper with gt500 lower valance. I didn't like '13 rear bumper. Yes there's gap between taillights and bumper. I love the '13 european taillights so much I could live with gap. Painted black to even out lower lineup so that it would appear even. I like it. Sorry about going off topic.

They are somewhat close, depending on options, but wasn't close enough for me. I got a great deal on this Roush, and had to jump on it.

I like my 10. Yeah I wish I would have waited but the average person doesn't know the difference between 10-12 and I like the 4.6 because of the reliability. All around great car

TLDR: You got what you got, you were super-happy with it at the time you got it. It's still an awesome car. Enjoy it.

People!! People!! Everyone who is not an enthusiast will look at your Mustang and just tell you that it is an awesome car - because it looks awesome, drives awesome and feels awesome. Don't sell yourself short because the newer models are better -> the new Toyota Corolla is better than the 2010 Corolla. The new Ford Focus is lightyears better than a 2010 Focus. It's progress and it's unstoppable, and unless you go throw down for a new car every 2-3 years, you can never keep up.
TLDR: You got what you got, you were super-happy with it at the time you got it. It's still an awesome car. Enjoy it.

It was the first year of the redesign. Some people loved the car and ran out to buy them right away only to find out that the very next year, both the V6 and V8 engines were replaced with much more powerful engines that offered better mileage and even the transmissions were upgraded to 6 speeds.
You don't need to buy a new Mustang every 2-3 years to keep up with the new engines/transmissions. You just need to buy any year from 2011 to 2014 and you're set.
It seemed like a raw deal for those that rushed out to buy the 2010 as soon as it was released, leaving people wondering why would Ford release such a major redesign but "hold back" on the new engines for just one year?
This may also serve as a warning to those thinking about rushing out for the 2015 the minute it hits the dealer lots.

You do realize why people have singled out the 2010 (and only 2010 model year) in this thread don't you?
