Well, it's my turn. 12 Kona GT

After months of looking at other people's GT, it is finally my turn. Just picked her up today. 2012 Mustang Gt Premium Kona Blue....DUH 401A Package 19" Premium Rims 3.73 Gearing Glass Roof Hid+Sec If i have any advice for anyone here, it would be 3.73 gearing baby. It has way more "pull" from under 3000rpm than 3.31 The car is like sleepy with 3.31 and fully awaken with 3.73 The car will pull at 1500-2000rpm even in 4th and 5th...amazing The 3.31 i test drove doesn't do much down low. On a sad note, already have a tiny scratch. Back into a car while parking, misjudged how long the GT is. Should have gotten the Camera.

Just give my car a quick wash. Kona blue really looks incredible in the sun.

Re: gears ... I had a 2010 GT and switched to 3.73 (it felt reallllyyyy drawn out). Unfortunately they were never installed right, and had to be setup again - then leaked all the time

Now I have a 5.0 ... the gearing match between the 6-spd and 3.31's (plus the extra 97 ponies) makes it a perfect match on this car! They don't feel drawn out like they did on my 10. No regrets, and the 5.0 is stll smokin fast with the 3.31's I have heard something like 12.7 1/4 and 4.6 to 60 ))

The sixth gear must be useless with a 331 unless you're speeding of course. lol

Haha, yeah, it's mainly a gas saving highway gear Something I wished I'd had when I had my 2010 GT
