Default Bought my 2012 two days before Christmas

Hello everybody. I'm new to the forum. Just bought a 2012 a few weeks ago. This is my first Mustang ever. I've owned Nissans for many years. I've got a GT/CS with auto tranny although I prefer stick but my wife can't drive stick. I'm very happy with this car so far especially since it's a head turner. Pics will be posted soon.

my wife can't drive stick either, and I'm sure not teaching her in my stang. that's why she has her own car! : )

welcome! the CS is beautiful. I really wanted one, but I also wanted brembo brakes. I am shooting for the best of both worlds - just ordered a CS lower valance and a roush grill.

I have a nissan in my past as well - a 350z!



should post some pictures of your CS for everyone to drool over. : )

I just sold a 2002 maxima with the 6sp manual (very rare) and I really loved that car but it was time to let it go. I once raced a 350Z with an auto tragic and beat him very easily. This was my 5th maxima but I don't think that I'll buy another one since they started making them in TN in 2004 and the quality is not the same anymore. Besides the latest style never grew on me.

Welcome and congrats on the purchase. I just bought a 2011 GT/CS in November. I love it! I traded in my blown 2003 GT vert after major tranny issues. Its a six speed so I had to agree to teach my wife how to drive a manual (that should be interesting, ha). Here is a quick pic of mine. Any mods planned yet or are you going to keep it stock for a while?

+1, this is how they should look from the factory with the boss hood stripe and those window louvers, love those wheels! Very nice, not so sure about the added 5.0 badge though

I'm planning to keep it stock for a while to avoid warranty issues with the stealership. I was looking for a red one just like yours. Did you lowered it? And if so what springs did you use? Looks very good.

Thanks. It has FRPP K Springs which dropped it about 1.5".
