I like Mustangs!

[jreblackGT]

I've had an '04 GT, a '10 GT and currently have an '11 GT. They just keep getting better.

Except for the Chinese made tranny now being useed in the 2011+ Mustangs .

Automatic or stick?

[5.4 Shelby]

I've had mine since September 7th and have put almost 6k on it including a trip through Deals Gap.
I took mine through Deals Gap (The Tail of the Dragon) about a year after I bought it. What a great experience. Here are a few shots of my brother riding with me through the curves. I have close to 30 shots of the trip. There were 3 different photographers taking and selling photos that day.

I've had a 2003 Cobra parked in my garage for the past 6+ years. First car I've ever owned I didn't want to unload once it was paid for. Would love to get it a stable mate with a new Boss 302 or a really nicely modded clean fox body. Just not in the financial cards right now. Maybe with in the next few years I can find a nice clean Boss 302 used.

I've liked Mustangs since they were introduced, but never got to own one. The new ones are great looking, I just priced a Cobra, but at over 50K, I don't think I'll be getting one any time soon.

I have a 2009 Mustang GT Bullitt. This is my first Ford in 24 years. I was really big on imports but once I saw this car, I had to have it.

Automatic or stick?

The manual trans is apparently chinese made and there were reports of early '11 models with clutch and or trans problems. I think they have been worked out but I have an automatic that I'm very happy with (and I've always been a MT fan).

[Sizzle Chest]

I like them too...LOL.

Here is my current ride. (Also have had a 1990 5.0 LX 5 speed)

Automatic or stick?Stick. And nothing has been fixed , the 2012 is plaqued with the same tranny problems . Grinding, getting stuck in gear, ect . Some owners have had this start just days after the purchase .Ford has no fix for it . Some owners are on their second or third replacement tranny and they turn out to be just as bad as the original .
Now the NHTSB is involved because it's a safety issue .
Just a piss poor design that should have never been put in the Mustang and to top it off the dang thing is made in China !
Henry Ford must be rolling over in the grave .

Blaming the Chinese for Ford's quality is plain idiocy. Ford determines the quality (or lack thereof). Ford defines the requirements, manufacturing, processes/tolerances, inspection processes and testing. Ford carries the blame, not the Chinese. The Chinese are supplying EXACTLY what Ford wants or Ford would find another subcontractor. Let's try to focus on the real culprits.

Now back to the REAL thread: The new Mustangs are amazing. For those who have not seen the news the 2013 Shelby is going to have 650hp (100 more than the current version) with 600 ft-lbs and be able to surpass 200MPH mark (the current 151MPH governor is being removed). The problem with the 2013s will be the same as it has been for awhile with Mustangs is that they can not get that HP to the ground w/o spinning/shredding tires.

BTW: Got a chance to drive a '69 Boss 429. To say it was fast is an understatement. One of the first cars I drove that the owner asked me to go around water puddles on the street. Little did I know that would be my mantra when I got older :laughing:

Nice set of wheels. I would not mine haveing a shelby in my Garage. I have been thinging about selling the LX. Not that there is any thing wrong with her. I just hae too many projects and I am trying to restore my dads 280SL 1968 very expensive.A lot easyer car to drive and injoy with a removalable hard top and canvas soft top. Not fast but she is a stunning car last to leave the factory all hand made.

I have to get the darn! roof fixed on my 1987 5.0 I put it up on rum 9 did not notice till the Fabulous fords show at Knots Berry farm My fault know my wife is going to help me to make sure we only go to rum 8 on our four post lift. I found a restorer and its going to cost me a arm and a leg more than the valve in the blue book, but its is so clean I could not see selling her. The Corbra-R needs to be registered next year when I have the money it will be interesting to compare the two car in driving characteristics and compare.
What kind of poishes and wax or sealnt do you use on your mustang. Do you uses a DA for polishing and Waxing or hand waxa panel at a time.
