2012 GT/CS
Hello all,
Feels great to finally post in the V8 5.0 forum now. I recently traded in my 2010 V6 automatic for a 2012 GT/CS manual with only 35k miles. I must say what an upgrade and I am beyond pleased with my decision. I do have a lot of future ideas for the 'stang but I am going to enjoy the 5.0 V8 roar.

congrats! I have to say those cali special rims are by far one of my favorite set of ford rims! I moved up last year, went from an 07 V6 4.0 to a 2014 convertible cali special 5.0 and I love it, the roar of the engine is awesome and really its not the gas hog i thought it was going to be.
MIke, Im sure as an old V6 owner you are familiar with the "V6" comments at shows or car cruises like; "oh its just a V6 or why didnt you get a V8?" Well your new question you will get asked with the CS is: "Whats so special about a California special?"
Ive been asked several times already! Ive been telling people the history of the CS since 1968 but I think I need to make up some kinda crazy story like its from california so its an 420 horspower electric motor not a gas engine to help with the smog problem in LA... That should get some crazed looks!
If your interested there are a couple FB pages dedicated to the CS/GT here is one:
California Special Owners Group 2007 - 2014
enjoy the fun and power I know I am, what a huge difference!
