Purchased 11-19-2010, 2011 GT, just rolled over 63000 miles........ 
It turned into my daily driver about 2 months after I bought it. But fortunately for me its not my DD anymore. She's parked up and is going to stay that way for a while.

No real major issues. I had the notchy/grinding 2nd gear in cold weather. Mostly fixed by the fluid switch. Still not perfect though. Torn stitching in the driver seat fixed by dealer. And an intermittant starting issue that hasn't really popped up recently.
Mods: Heartthrob 3 inch H-Pipe kit, GT500 axle backs, Eibach Pro-Kit Springs and GT500 track pack shocks and struts. And only recently I added a Steeda Intake and Steeda Street Tune.
She is gonna stay parked up for a while. I may pull her out for a meet here and there but she is going to be taking a break. For now I will be fulfilling my modding urges with the truck I just picked up. Already took the lift kit it had installed out and returned it to stock suspension. Changed out the radio and rewired the stereo. Someone had the wires all crossed up. Now I'm looking into some fender flares and Flowmaster exhaust. Someone put some KMC Rockstars on it. Great looking wheels but with the width of the rims and tires the sides of the truck stay filthy. Rather than get rid of the rims I think I'll just make it look off-road even if it really isn't.

2013 GT Premium, took ownership on 7/2/13. 11307.3 miles. 3 or 4 trips from MD to NJ and a trip from MD to Eagle Lake, Maine about two weeks after I got her.
Was considering a two week trip across the country in July...

Delivered 02/11 with 6 miles. Will break 30K this week. 2nd set of Pirellis at 22K (they suck but all I could find local for 19s). This is a thread I plan to monitor as I put 190K on a '90 GT bought new in 1990. That pushrod motor is still strong and I'm curious about this aluminum mod motor.
