Default "Holy Cow" is about all i can say right now

just picked up my new 2011 GT 5.0. turned over the swagger wagon tahoe. kept thinking about the '68 302 i had in high school and college on the way home. first time in almost 20 years i've had real performance car. is 41 too young for a mid-life crisis? the 412 horses are telling me "no." hello mustangforums.com - i'll be a regular visitor for a while.

Nope, that's not too young. I've decided to have my midlife crisis at 39...happily I might add. Your grin isn't going to leave for quite some time.

Wait until you've been in it for a while....and you get to know how she likes to run. She loves to run....and her sweet spot is so easy to hit it's ridiculous. Have fun.

Got Pics?

no pics yet. will get some on soon but she's just a stock black w/o any accessories. waiting on my louvers and side scoops to show up and i'll take her back to the dealer to have 'em installed. been looking at the torque thrust wheels on americanracing.com. thinking those will be my next change.
