    Brembo Kit with alternate wheels?

    The problem is the 19 luster wheel will not clear the brembo brakes. That's why you can't select other wheel when you pick the brembo pkg.

    Skip shift question...possibility?

    Skip shift is a feature that is "forced" on you to shift from 1st to 4th for higher mpg. In the "right" condition, you CAN'T shift from 1st to 2nd or 3rd, you HAVE to shift to 4th. That's why some people took it off with a tune. It only enforce skip shift when you drive like your grandma...

    Help me make a decision!

    If you are going to use it as a daily driver, i wouldn't choose a convertible. You live in N.Y., is a convertible really a good idea as a daily driver? You do remembered how much snow we had last year right? BTW, the glassroof looks great. The 10-12 have different body and way better...

    What type of gas do you use?

    The new 5.0 engine does run better with premium. The difference is just a few dollars per fill up. If you can afford a 2012 GT, why cheap out on a few bucks per fill up?

    2012 5.0 engine recall?

    Dyno don't lie. If anything they are more than 412hp. I think it was how quiet and smooth the car is that get you. My first drive test, i was shock at how smooth and quiet the car is. You might have driven a 3.31 manual or 3.15 automatic 5.0, they feel much tamer. that might make you feel...

    Post Pics of Your Mustang

    Sorry if it sounds like i am picking on you. I love Red Candy. Would have been my first choice if not for the $395. I am already over budget at 38k. I guess i need to take some lessons on taking photos cuz your photo skill is way wayyyyyy better. Good job.

    Are you sure that is 100% from your camera? You didn't touch it up at all? Look at the picture above your. That's how red candy look in person. Your photo looks like you turn up the hue/brightness/hdr...etc. Maybe you are a Professional photographer, in that case i am sorry. Red candy...

    Post Pics of Your Mustang

    Is it me or is Joe Fan's Red candy look much better than Fastredpony's car? One is real life photos and other is Joan rivers fake. Just don't see the point of photoshop your car to death. Look so fake.

    Two days after owning my 2012 mustang gt, review

    I really don't think it's the driver. When i said low end 'feels" weak, i don't mean that it's civic/accord/camry weak. I was very surprised the first time i test drove the car. The first thing i noticed is the engine doesn't "feel" strong down low (under 3K rpm). I am coming from 3 Japanese...

    I think it's expectation. 412hp and you don't get the woooooooooo feeling till 4000RPM+ A change of Gear can give him that wooooo feeling earlier. A tune can do the same. Ordered 4/2/2011 2012 Kona Blue Mustang Gt Premium, 3.73 gearing, 19" premium rim, Hid+Sec, Glass roof, 401A package...

    Two days after owning my 2012 mustang gt, review

    Well, it's not how much harder the 3.73 pulls. A 3.73 gearing GT feels different from a 3.31 gearing Gt. It feels more lively...you know...more kick of the pants feeling. It's like a bicycle...same person riding, so you have the same power. But if you ride a 18 or 21 speed bicycle, and your...

    well...in general, the lower the gear...the harder the pull. The higher the rpm, the harder the car pull. so the hardest pull is 1st gear...from 3000rpm to 7000rpm it should pull the hardest. Anytime your car is in low gear (1st, 2nd, 3rd) and high RPM (4000rpm to 7000rpm) It should pull...

    Yes, 3.31 is the standard gearing for Mustang GT. Unless your window sticker said 3.55 or 3.73 (both are $395 options). Me and my bro both test drove a 3.31 GT last month. We both were surprised at how smooth and quiet the car is and a little disappointed in the low end pull of a 412hp car...

    When i test drove a Mustang GT last month, I was disappointed in how little pull the car have down low. It has 412hp, I was expecting a lot more pull. The car pulls hard once you are at 4000rpm and more. The problem is with your gearing, your car have the standard 3.31 gearing (good for fuel...

    Can you give me some tips about shifting the mustang?

    Don't try to race anyone until you are comfortable with driving a manual. There will be rice car and muscle car at every stop light. CONTROL YOURSELF...once you are good, then let them have it.....in a safe way of course :)

    I just bought a 2012 mustang GT premium

    If you have $1000 in rebates and still paid $37k OTD, then you make a pretty below avg deal. It's not a very bad deal. You still pay less than msrp but you could have done better i think. Look on the bright side, you don't have to wait for your car. Let me give you a rundown of my deal...
