    Just got the deal of the century on a Shelby STB! WOOT!

    Cool - now you you have a fake Shelby STB to go with your fake Boss 302 stripes on your poser Mustang Astro Boy! (remember how you savaged us poor slobs who dared to try and fix up our lowly V-6 Mustangs?)

    Any mods available 3.7 yet?

    I rec'd an e-mail from Steeda about ten days ago; they were announcing their prototype CAI kit that will be sold with the Tuner thingy and I believe American Muscle will carry them. They dyno-tested a new V-6 with the prototype CAI and the results were impressive. No pricing yet, but the...

    Uh-oh

    GT 5.0 vs. V-6 w/Performance Package - cost vs. benefit?

    (good to get this back on topic, thanks!...) Agreed 181, it is gouging - they are just taking advantage of the market for the 5.0 engine. From a lot of reading I have done, the two engines are very similar, they have just lopped off two cylinders. You end up with 75% of the engine with 75%...

    GT 5.0 vs. V-6 w/Performance Package - cost vs. benefit?

    Then please just go away Astro Boy; your sarcastic input is neither needed or appreciated here. We are trying to have an intelligent conversation in keeping with the title of the thread I started. Most understand that, you don't - take your hateful remarks and just go away sir. :(

    Just picked up my new 2011 GT

    +1 with Eric on that - me too. For me it was so bad I will admit to actually telling my buddy "I wouldn't take a Grabber Blue vehicle if they gave it to me!..." Cars like yours and a few others have brought me over to the Grabber Blue side of the Force - nice ride friend! :)

    Tell me the truth.

    Most excellent! To me this video sums up the whole thing: the GT is of course quicker, but it is also $5K more money... that made my recent decision a lot easier.

    Sold my 03 GT, bought an 08 GT/CS

    Ateup, that is one gorgeous vehicle, congratulations man! Please enjoy your ride and report back here often. I may be a bit prejudiced; I just ordered a red over black convertible with delivery around May 1st. I went with a similar stripe (MCA Pkg) and I too debated long over the whole...

    GT 5.0 vs. V-6 w/Performance Package - cost vs. benefit?

    Thanks guys/gals! I will post some pics for sure... I got the MCA package (Mustang Club of America - Rapid Spec 203A) which includes some neat appearance things I liked: the billet grille, mini fog-lights down low, spoiler, unique stripes, alum wheels and tire pkg, etc). I would describe it...

    Lava Red Pic

    Agreed! Have to tell ya though, when you pick the interior color and select Lava Red it looks good to me. I think with certain exterior colors (other than Lava Red) it might make a real nice combo.

    GT 5.0 vs. V-6 w/Performance Package - cost vs. benefit?

    Jaybertx and others - thank you all for your input and your comments, I enjoyed reading all of them. Here is an update of my situation: last Saturday morning I drove the GT and really enjoyed it. No mistaking the power and the sweet sound (it was a 5.0 6 spd convertible.) I went back last...

    2010 V6 Wheels?

    Nobody need apolgize for having a V-6 if it is a 2011 or newer. I test-drove both on Saturday morning; while the 5.0 was awesome so is the new V-6 in its own right. Both mighty fine engines... Maybe the nastiness from the Astro guy is knowing his 2010 GT has less power than the new V-6 -...

    2012 GT Prem ordered!

    or the HomeLink garage-door opener thingy. Then again, I think of how many years I have driven around with the little Genie transmitter on the visor - big deal!

    2012 Boss 302

    I attended the Detroit Auto show in January and spent the majority of my time in the "Mustang Alley" area. In addition to having a number of 2012 models on display, including a Boss 302 on a rotating pedestal, they had one on a chassis dyno. About every 40 minutes a crowd would gather and a...

    2010+ HIDs are UGLY as heck!!!

    My opinion: I agree with some of the sentiment expressed by others; they really look better without the big round GT fog lamps. I am thinking about ordering them on my new Mustang, and thinking of going with the MCA package that gives you the billet grill and the small fog lamps down low. With...

    2012 GT Prem ordered!

    Yes, the "improved" sun visors and the HomeLink addition are about the only real changes, except for adding Lava Red as the new color. I also think the order guide shows the addition of the selectable power-steering setting as a change for 2012. My beef right now with taking a leftover 2011...

    GT 5.0 vs. V-6 w/Performance Package - cost vs. benefit?

    I am getting ready to order a 2012 Mustang (or perhaps pick up a leftover 2011), leaning more toward ordering the '12 really. While I know that forums like these really tend to draw the more performance-oriented folks it would not surprise me to find that many would recommend the 5.0 V8 without...

    2012 GT Prem ordered!

    Congratulations! I am very close to ordering one myself, prhaps as soon as this weekend. Dealers tell me the same thing, eight weeks or so - in my case (living in the great white north) I really would not want it to arrive much earlier than that. I am OK with even May delivery, as then get...

    Lava Red

    Yes, for 2012 Sterling Grey eliminated and in its place is Lava Red... I like the grey myself!
