2013 GHIG Roush Stage 3
 
Well,....she arrived home today. What a GORGEOUS car. Looks better than I thought and even LOUDER and nastier than I thought. LOVE IT!
I will take better pics soon. Hopefully this weekend.

Hadtohaveit'13 3/20/13 07:34 PM

Thanks!
I am pretty excited. Ok,...really excited. lol Car is awesome. I will try to get up a video, the Roush exhaust sounds incredibly NASTY!
You should get the green stitching. I think it makes the interior "pop" a bit more.

youngstang90 3/20/13 07:55 PM

Awesome car man! I miss my '10 427R every day! Such an awesome machine!
I can imagine with the added power of the 5.0 it's a blast!

Stage_3 3/21/13 07:03 PM

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the kind words.
This is my first Ford/first Mustang. I LOVE IT! Haven't had a chance to drive it yet, the roads are still wet here and there from the snow. All I can say is that the color, the exhaust note, the power and just the whole car itself, is way better than I anticipated. I'm glad I went with the 'Stang. Did I mention how LOUD this car is? It is loud. lol I will use a camera for better pics this weekend hopefully.

Hadtohaveit'13 3/21/13 07:35 PM

Wait until you get it in the perfect sunlight one day. It is absolutely stunning in the sun

I can't wait. I may polish it this weekend, since the weather is still crappy here and I won't be driving her. I love how the metallics really show up in the light/sunlight.:hail:

Yes, it is my cruiser. No, I will not be tracking the car at all. Even though it does have the track package and oil/trans coolers.

Thanks man. Believe it or not, I bought this car off sight. I am so happy with it. I did have the stage 2 upgrade all on the paperwork, but here in MA, they would bust my eggs about the emissions. It would have put me at 630 horses at the crank. **** you MA!! lol I do want to do some SW long tubes with catted midpipes, smaller pulley and of course, a retune by Jannetty racing. We'll see about that stuff though. That won't be till later down the road.
You're going to laugh about the camera. These were taken with my cell phone, a Samsung Galaxy S3. I did shoot a bunch with my old school Sony digital camera with the Carl Ziess lens but haven't loaded them yet.

Hadtohaveit'13 3/24/13 06:53 PM

Oh no the galaxy prevails!!! :(

Can't go wrong with GHIG is right brother! We're smart. It's the fastest color. lol
Yeah,...I love the Galaxy. It's really nice phone. Almost time for The Walking Dead. Have a good one bud!

Rather B.Blown 3/24/13 07:05 PM

No offense to anyone else, but that is the first GHIG Mustang I've seen that made me go "Wow! I love that". I think its the lighter color wheels, they break up the green.

It's his galaxy. It captured what it really looks like. Aside from his car also being stunning

I will try to post a close-up of the metallics in the paint when I get a chance. That photo is on my digital camera.

Well that explains it. I live the stupid Northeast and I have to wait for summertime to get a nice sunset shot like that. I'll have to give it a try.
Your pic came out awesome though.:nice:

Nice! :nice:
I have all my microfiber towels and super soft applicators, just need to order some Zaino polish, which is the best polish/products in my opinion. Use the corresponding Zaino detail spray after applying the polish and "POP". :eek:
The Zaino polish I use, has ZERO abrasives in it. They have others that do have small abrasives as well for those minor scratches/swirls.
Then, I will take some new shots of the car as well.

I kind of want to get some Forgelines for her. I also want the Stage 3 upgrade with the 675 horsepower. :banghead: :banghead: Decisions, decisions.

car looks so good, miss mine.. hopefully get it back soon.. but I don't want to rush the shop.. patience I know will be paid off.

TheDivaDanielle 6/9/13 08:48 PM

I'll be absolutely honest... I wanted GHIG...... Fiancee didn't like it that much, but she did like Grabber Blue. She said "That color seared my retinas right off."

That being said, sometimes I do wonder if I made the right choice. I would have done exactly what I have done, but with a charcoal grey stripe color on my car.

These pictures also make me wonder if I should have ordered a Roush. :-)

Too funny, becasue when I was originally looking at Mustangs, I was going to order a 2013/2014 Grabber Blue, not sure if I was going with white or black stripes.
I saw the GHIG and was like,..............MINE! lol Especially on this car. It looks great on this car with the graphics and all. Plus, the wheels match the black and silver stripes. Yeah, Danielle, you would love the Roush. It's fast, loud and handles awesome. Did I mention fast and loud? lol :grin:

That isn't me. It's another member from MA with almost the same car.
That's Joe.
Brian Cummings does great work and I am going to have a photo shoot with him sometime in the future.

I never get tired of seeing photos of your car (so don't stop snapping them!)...it's one of my favorites by far.

It has actually inspired me to start adding some Roush parts to my 2010. I'm not looking to build a clone of a Roush...but just some touches.

I just got the side and rear splitters...and I'm looking at ordering the side window louvers very soon. I love those fog light surround bezels...but they won't fit on my Shelby front end obviously.

Just awesome! :metal:
