Default Finally Going all the Way

Well after a long discussion my wife and I are getting ready to replace our '07 Mustang V6 Deluxe. We have loved the car, still do, but we are a point in our life (ie old) where we finally want to get the raw power and comfort of a GT Premium. Since this one will be ordered I have a few questions as to what we should get as far as options and especially rear gears. We have decided, so far, on a '12 GT/CS Coupe, Grabber Blue, manual, Comfort Group.

I am really up in the air regarding the rear end. My gut tells me 3.73's but I also know it has to be somewhat mannered as well. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Any other options that are a must or that you wished you had gotten would also be of help.

I'm a lifelong GM owner, still am. But after a comparison we are committed Mustang fans/owners. The Camaro is nice but nowhere near as comfortable or nimble as the Mustang.

I would go with your gut feeling....3.73s will be great performance all-around.

GT/CS pretty much has everything. Shaker 1000 or Nav would be my only troubled decision.

Good Luck!

Well living WI I would imagine you'd want the heated seats lol, thats the one thing I absolutely LOVE about my car haha. Makes life easier, just like the nav system. One thing I regret is not getting a manual lol. Good luck with the buy!

We love our '11 GT/CS manual with the 3:55's. Depends on how much highway driving you may be doing with 3:73's.

I do not have the Nav....and have read several posts of complaints about upgrades as the maps get old. Might look into that.

We added the hood scoop also. I am just the type that has to have a scoop. We get tons of good comments.

I have 3.73s in my gt/cs but I'm not sure they are really necessary. I also have security and comfort. The only thing I would have added if I had ordered the car would have been the glass roof.

Mine's a lowly 2010 GT...yeah right! Anyway I LOVE the glass roof. It's not the same as a vert, but it definitely makes it feel more open and I can pull back the screen if its too hot in the sun or want a little privacy.
