Will be needing some parts..
I went looking at a Roush Charged Mustang at a local dealer and ended up eyeing a 2013 GT parked next to it.
Ugh, its black.(and yes Crint, it needs paint correction. Why cant people take care of a black car)
But the dealer has been good to me even though I am upside down in my RAM and while the deal is not done, the paperwork is waiting for me.
She's a 2013 GT Premium Manual shift. Black with Saddle interior (I like the interior ftw) and Comfort Package. 13K miles.

I can get the car certified through Ford which gives me a bumper to bumper warranty 4yrs/48K and 7/100k on the powertrain.
So the list looks like this,
Window Tint
Wheels and Tires (probably 19's. I'm not opposed to some factory 19's if anyone has any CS style wheels..hint hint.)
Exhaust (Im thinking Borla Touring cat back. The Borla factory is located about 30 miles from me and I can get Borla wholesale)
MGW Shifter (depending on budget, might end up with a Barton)
CAI and Tune
Springs and Koni STR.T's etc (lots to choose from but probably Vogtlands again)
Side Scoops
Quarter window delete panels
Would love to go Kenne Bell SC eventually but that might be down the road a ways

Just wondering why the tune if you're going through the trouble of getting the warranty?
Might be able to work you out a deal on my mgw so I can get the new one if that's agreeable.

Because the tune doesn't void the warranty assuming you don't go in for warranty work when it's tuned.
Some nice wheels were just posted in the Carolina classified thread. If it were a week ago I would have probably grabbed them, hah.
All you guys keep complaining about black and here I am complaining that mine isn't!
Edit: Oh, I was just reading, apparently the newer cars do keep more of a log of tune flashes? I was under the impression they just saw that the ECU was reset and couldn't actually void anything for it. I guess the newer cars are smarter because of that? Either way, how can you drive these cars without a tune?!

I wasnt aware that they kept logs of tune flashes. Hmm.
Maybe I'll just skip the tune and hold out for the SC. ya just never know
The extra warranty amounts to about 100 bucks.
I have been considering these wheels.

Yeah I didn't think any of our guys had had any trouble with that. My dealer has always said that if the mods weren't related to the problem then it's covered.
If I have my car lowered and the starter goes out they aren't going to bitch about the suspension.

I would prefer these over the matte black. Just my $0.02.

I kinda thought gunmetal grey wheels with a grey super snake stripe. I don't know.
Although silver wheels with a silver stripe would work too.
The car thankfully doesn't have a side stripe.
