Great photo! She looks just like mine, save for the front license plate! Alloys are the best, right? Hope you are enjoying her, and the forums

Yep, I love the color. There was a silver 2011 GT that I was also considering, but I really liked the alloy so much more. A great ride so far.

Haha, you must really love it! I'd have been tempted to go with the 2011 just for the 5.0 But in the end I decided to go with the 2008 GT to save some money and have fun making her my own, 2011 would have stretched my budget far enough that'd have been ALL I got for quite a while

Well, I had a price in mind and the 08 alloy fit right in. The 4.6L engine is plenty for my needs. It going to take awhile to get used to the gas mileage though. My old Eclipse was a gas sipping 4 banger.

I also don't like the newer angled rear tail lights. The 08 looks sharper to me. Just a matter of taste!

Nice alloy Mustang PennState! I love my color and so do all of my friends. My daughter is a PSU grad, a great school for sure! Go Lions!
