traded in my 2001 911 for a 2011 Black GT with Brembo, 3.73, and HIDs.

don't know much, if anything, about mustangs but the handling and power sold me instantly.

hope to learn much and maybe even start modding.

some pics of my new ride. i picked it up today.

sweet ride. Amazing what 10 years does. Man comes from a Porsche 911 AMAZING CAR. But, finds the 2011 stang to be an impressive ride. Tech moves forward and we get to enjoy the benefits.

You have an awesome car, I hope you enjoy yours as much as I am enjoying mine.

Awesome on the newbness. I ordered the 2011 Mustang GT blind without having test driven any Mustang. Ever.

I didn't do the test driving until after it was ordred, and I test drove some 2007's, not 2010 or 2011.

I love the soft clutch. It's dreamy.

Yes more pics is a great idea!

You will learn lots of info about modding these cars, that's one of the best things about the mustang community. My buddy at work bought himself a 370Z last fall and they still don't have a good tuner out for them (well not one that's as easy as ours so he says). It took no time for our tuners to already have these cars dialed in.

welcome! Love your 5.0! Those wheels are the nicest available on the 11's I think

very true.

after putting on a few miles last night i find myself intoxicated with the power. also a few highway ramps later, i find that the handling is pretty close to my old 911. i sit higher than on my 911 so that takes some getting used to, but the mustang still handles flat and level. very impressive. also the mustang is only 200 lbs heavier than my old 2001 911 C4, which is quite an achievement and it shows in the handling.

clutch is VERY light. lighter than my brother's 2009 G37S even. the porsche clutch is VERY heavy. almost truck like, so the mustang's clutch is a surprise. it takes some getting used to.

the shifter is awesome! it might even be shorter than my 911 with B&M short shift kit.

interior fit and finish is very nice. ford, wisely, spent money where they needed to in order to keep even owners like me from getting too nit-picky. love the leather seats and solid feel of most of the buttons and dials. only "cheap" part was the arm rest compartment. the button is pretty cheap feeling.

rear camera is a very nice touch. it was a weird option, or so i thought, then i backed out of my garage and really appreciated the utility. the system is almost identical to my mother's 2009 lexus RX.

i guess this turned into a mini review, but to sum it all up, in just about every way, the 2011 GT is a winner. handles nearly as well as my old car, much more power and at the right RPMs, shifter is a joy, car feels so stiff and planted.

what i really can't get over is the price. list was ~$39k and i qualify for X plan so i got it for less than that and then the dealer worked harder to get it lower than even that! all that performance for that price. amazing.

i can't say enough about the dealer experience. better than the porsche buying experience i can assure you. i'm young looking and porsche sales people wouldn't even give me the time of the day and i had to flag one down so i could buy the car when i bought my 911.

the ford salesperson was just a car guy, not a poseur. loves his mustangs and it showed. no BS on the sales process. tested the car, got price for my trade, went to my credit union, came back with check and done! no surprises.
