    Bought a 2011 GT yesterday...

    Took the plunge and bought a sterling gray metallic GT premium with black interior, 6 speed manual, 5 spoke 19's and 3.73 rear axle... I'm loving the color, was never a big fan of the black plastic on the bottom of the rear bumper but it looks quite nice with the sterling gray. And there is...

    My 2011 Mustang GT prem..........

    My 2010 was build on June 22nd last year and arrived at the dealership in Corpus Christi, TX on July 10th. So it took about 3 weeks...that seems like a reasonable estimate

    2010 vs. 2011 Differances (besides powertrains)

    Don't know if anyone else noticed...but all the 2011s I see online have the chrome pony in the grille and the and 2010s have the smoked out pony. Minor, I know, but still different nonetheless

    WTH? Oil chg @ home on 2010 GT

    I don't think the purpose is to improve aerodynamics as much as it is there as a splash guard to keep water/rocks/etc from going up there. Other than that I see no need for it, my 05 didn't have it and ran just fine...

    Tremec 3650 in 2010 GT Any problems?

    I'm a little late to the game but...I had a 2005 GT manual and with my mods was putting down 335 hp at the wheels. Raced it and burned out all the time, and at 60k miles still shifted like brand new. My 2010 has a very slight grinding noise going into 3rd ONLY when it's cold (as in cold start...

    RUSTY Rear Axle on the New Mustang GAG!

    Truth of the matter is your average consumer is not going to care if their axle has rust on it, so Ford is not going to spend money coating these parts to make a small minority happy. If you don't like it, do what some of y'all have already done, put it up on stands, and take a weekend to coat...

    first mustang

    Squeaks are not all that uncommon. I had a few squeaks and rattles in my 05. Found out where they were coming from and fixed them myself. And they were all caused by things I did to it...and racing it. Buying a Camaro isn't going to fix your problem and is only going to cost you more in the...

    Just bought '10 GT to replace 08 M3

    Congrats on the new ride! :nice: For mufflers I would go with Flowmaster American Thunder...from what I've heard on clips on youtube and other people on the forum it sounds great, which is why I'll be ordering mine soon :)

    Just installed 93 octane tune with SCT/SF3 Flash Tuner

    You are correct in saying the 2010 has adaptive tuning, which is the reason I run premium. Premium here in south Texas is 93 octane and I have to say I only drove the car on regular for about 3 weeks after I bought it and switched and there was a noticble difference. I recently installed a K&N...

    New Mustang 5.0 beats Camaro on the strip.

    None whatsoever, except that their car weighs 2 tons :rlaugh:

    Red Black or Grabber Blue That is the Question?

    I voted Grabber Blue...looks absolutely stunning after a good car wash and wax, and it gets a lot of attention :)

    2011 V6 and GT Performance Specs

    I would expect high 12's "out of the box" as you say :) Also, not sure if I read or understood that right, but the new 5.0 makes 390 lb-ft of torque whereas the 4.6 makes 325 and the new 3.7l makes 280 and the outgoing 4.0 makes 240, that's an increase for both...

    2011 V6 and GT Performance Specs

    Ok...so is it just me or is anyone else just dying with anticipation to see what this car can do??? Seriously, at this same time last year every single car mag had tested the 2010 and all we get now are HP, TQ, and gas mileage figures, and we still have people blindly buying these cars. I'm...

    O/R H Pipe

    Just a question to see if the issue has been resolved. I had an 05 and it was wrecked and was out of the Mustang scene for a while until I picked up my 10 last summer. Anyway, I had on O/R H pipe on my 05 and had issues on cold start up with the engine feeling like it was going to sputter...

    2010 Camaro

    I guess they're only rediculous if you can't negotiate a deal. I walked out the door financing 3k under sticker, and that included TTL. And that's because I custom ordered mine, I didn't go shopping for what was on the lot. FWIW, I think the weak point on the GT500 is the tires, seeing as...

    Cosmetically, what are the differences between the 2010 and 2011 Mustangs?

    On the outside the only difference i noticed, other than the 5.0 badges, was that the black plastic part of the back bumper was slightly different, and then it appears the V6 will have dual exhaust. Other than that nothing changes to my knowledge.

    The Shelby GT350 returns to mark its 45th Anniversary

    +1 Buy your own 2011 and slap a supercharger on it and it won't cost you 33k on top of the purchase of your car

    2011 Ford Mustang Pricing Trickles Out

    Ya wanna play you gotta pay...2k is not a bad deal for an extra 100 hp and a 6spd, a blower will cost you much more for your 4.6, and 2k worth of mods won't touch 412HP anyway...

    Post Pics of Your Mustang

    I've heard that from multiple sources, but I don't know anyone who has one nor have I ever driven one. That's actually quite disappointing. It'd be fine for my parents, god help that car if they ever let me drive it... :( Now you have the advantage of waiting to see what's going to happen...
