How do you like your Mustang so far?
In roughly 2 months I'm going to be placing an order for either a 2011 mustang gt premium or 2012 gt premium stick shift. I'm coming from a 2004 honda civic ex auto with just 120hp so the mustang will be way different. I'm afraid I won't get used to the power of the mustang. I want to feel the pull of the car when I drive. That feeling when your back sinks into the seat and your head goes back, does this happen often with the mustang GT? Any suggestions you guys have for me?

Haha coming from your current car you will love a Mustang. 
Especially the new 5.0s.
My car even has enough torque to pull you back a (very) little bit. And the new 5.0s have 200+ more HP than mine.
If you ever want more power there is a huge market for these cars.

That acceration feeling? Yeah, happens to me all the time. It also sucks because whenever I walk away from it in a parking lot, I try not to, but I can't help but to look back on it once or twice. I can't believe this is my car! Overall, I'm very happy with the car; its perfect. Almost TOO perfect, lol. Its hard to put my finger on it, but coming from a 1993 Cobra, it just kinda seems to lack the "character" that my old foxbody had. Hard to explain, but yeah, you're going to love your new 'stang.

As Ford said "Drive One' I love my 2011 Gt. I have owned quite a few stangs. The only other one I have had that even came close was my 2003 Terminator Cobra. They are 2 different vehicles though. Each special in their own way. Coming from a 4 or 6 banger the only thing you may miss is a little worse fuel economy. My 2011 is avg around 21 in town. Not too shabby for an 8 cylinder. You will instantly fall in love with the power at your fingertips! Have fun!

I bought my car brand new in 07 and I have enjoyed it every moment Ive had the car. I have put some time and money in mine though. So i have my own personal touch added to my car.
My fiance and I went to my parents for a few days to celebrate some birthdays and my parents have a really nice garage. Its heated and has drainage in the garage. So I washed my car, then I used a clay bar, then waxed it. My fiance came out to the garage and said since u love me more than your car I know u will stand by me for that long if she were ever to get sick. Now we were drinking and some of dads friends came over so that definetly added to the time. I was showing off my supercharger and everything I had done. My dad and his friends all had muscle cars when they were growing up so of course we were talking a little **** about who would beat who. Good times
