Default New Stang Banger from Pittsburgh Pa.

Greetings to all, Finally, I bought a new 2012 Mustang GT. It's a Kona Blue 6spd with the ponies on the doors and the striped seats. Last Mustang I owned was a 1965 coupe 289 4speed. It was a bit rough, but as a 17 year old it seemed pretty cool to me. I was out cruising last Black Friday and was "Just Looking" as they say. Afore I knew it, the shrewd salesman had me behind the wheel, and right after i just told him I did'nt want to purchase at this time! Soon as I fired that 412 hp coyote up, I was Kind of feeling like Steve McQueen in "Bullitt" with them 67 retro looking gauges. I wanted it bad, knew I had to have it and he gave me a great deal. 4,500 mi. on odometer and looking forward to first mods. Sold some car parts, maybe going to buy classic looking hurst shifter, some mufflers. Regards, Tim

Welcome! Congrats on the purchase!

Instead of Hurst, might I suggest our Tri-Ax short-throw shifter and shifter-base bushing? Our Tri-Ax, unlike Hurst, is made in the USA. It also carries a lifetime limited warranty (unlike Hurst), and is ISO 9001:2008 certified (unlike Hurst), which is basically a quality control certification stating we consistently make high-quality parts. The shifter is on-sale right now too! You can even get it with a cue **** and billet collar to dress-it-up a little.
