Smile Bought my 2011 Mustang GT Premium Last night

Hello All,

New to this forum. I just bought a 2011 Mustang GT Prem. with Brembo pkg and standard transmission. The car is a lot of fun. This is my first Mustang as I have always owned bmw's in the past but also admired Mustangs. I traded my 335i 2008 model bmw and although I had a lot of fun with that car also, the parts too expensive to maintain in the long run as I was going to run out of warranty. Is there anything I need to be cautious about with this model that I just purchased? I made sure to get the 100,000 miles bumper to bumper warranty just in case I run into any issues.

Thanks.

Welcome. Read through the forum and use the search feature to find a lot of info on mods and problem resolution. There are a lot of folks here that will help with any other questions you have.

The 5.0 responds very well to custom tuning so be sure to research that. It'll likely be one of the first mods you'll want to do.

Thank you guys. I love this car and not only because it is made here in the US but also the fact that it is just awesome the way it is without any mods. I appreciated my bmw as well while I had it and it could keep up with this Mustang that I now own but I just love the growl on this car. I will make sure to share with you guys a picture very soon.

Was your 335 upgraded? If it was stock your mustang would pretty much own that BMW.

Congrats on the new purchase. I got mine back in January and absolutely love it. Amazing how many people will come up to me in parking lots to admire it and ask me questions.
