Anyone else notice as the video was counting down at the 6:35 mark the odometer read 6597.1 miles. Either he has had this car a while and driven it a lot or else it was an evaluation vehicle supplied by Ford to the press, etc. Makes me wonder.

Jay Leno rules!
Man I really like the way this new engine sounds. Even the stock exhaust, while rather quiet, sounds great. Of course if I get one, shortly after I bring it home those mufflers are coming off! LOL!
But I will not consider it until I pay off my GT which will be late summer or fall of this year. At this time, we should be hearing about the Boss 302.

Jay Leno is a cool muscle car guy. Having him review the Mustang ad give it a great review is nice, even though we all know the same thing. I do like the Black with tan/brown leather interior along with those wheels. NIce car, great review from a guy who appears to have it all.
He is car freak, i should visit his car collection

Many of the cars/bikes he has, he did not buy. They are gifts from the manufacturers and often are one of the first ones made (like his ZR-1 is #1)
This 2011 GT very well is one of the first ones and was probably driven quite a bit by Ford personnel before it was given to Jay.

and that didn't look like any of the Calif plates I have seen!
But just the sound of the new 5.0 in that video is going to sell a lot of these.
Too bad he got the price wrong.
With the Brembo package and the glassroof option that he has, that Mustang will likely have a sticker closer to $38,570...which is what I just came up with when I built a GT Premium with the 401A package, Brembo Package, Security Package, Glass Roof and 3.55 gears. Would have like to add even more, but I feel those are the basic options I want in a new GT.
His car had the Saddle interior, which I couldn't get with Grabber Blue exterior
