First Time V8 Owner - Review & Pics

First V8, second Mustang I've bought for the wife.

First time around it was a 2010 V6, base model. This time around... The opposite end of that spectrum.

I'm not much of a muscle car fan.. Well, I wasn't before this. This car has completely changed my mind and sucked me in. It's fast, fun, comfortable, and one of the best interiors I've seen in a while. I find myself throwing it into sport mode more often than I probably should, and showin' off every chance I get. I've had a few casual races so far, and she is not to be underestimated.

Overall, well worth the money spent. Could I have bought more race for the price elsewhere? Probably. But the overall package is where it's at on this release.

Enjoy the pics. :coolphotos:

Enjoyed

Pic #8... drool.

Great pictures! Enjoy!!

Gorgeous car and great pictures. Congratulations!

To bad you weren't slightly more north, I'd love to see this car in person.

Great pics! This proves just how great a black car can look when it's clean.

Black is definitely the highest risk/reward.

Looks great, and congrats!

Does your car have the illuminated sill plates? I have a Eco 50th anniv, and my doesn't. Thanks!

It does not. :tsk:

I'm thinking that the 50th anniversary pack did something to those sill plates...that's an EB premium with 50th and now a GT premium with 50th not having illuminated sills.

I'm thinking that has to be something that was incorrectly 'programmed' at the factory, or however they do that!? Makes no sense whatsoever that the 50th package would remove that feature.

Beautiful car BTW.

So its missing the 'Mustang' sill lights from this? [ame] Is it also missing the Pony on the ground? If so, sadface.

it's missing the illuminated sill plates, but not the pony lamp.

Congrats, that is a very nice looking ride. Have fun with it.

I could live without the illuminated sill plates. I'm sure that adding them later is not terribly complicated.
