I got mine tonight. I love it.. V6.. 051A with 3.55 rear in ruby red. Dealer Ted Russell knoxville tennessee.
Beautiful car. Ruby red never did much for me before now, but it looks fantastic in your pictures. I may need to reconsider.

I'm most interested in the V6. Please let us have your impressions whenever you can drag yourself away from the car. Zackmd1 posted some fuel economy numbers in the v6 forum, and it would be great to have another set of data points on mileage if you have the time to post your results.

Nice! The Ruby Red is gorgeous. I'm not normally a huge red fan but, wow, this is nice. Let us know what your cruise speed (70-75 mph) RPM is with that 3.55 rear gear, if you could. The more reviews the better!

Zack, It's a great car, congratulations.

Can you talk a little about the base sound system. Such as, is the bass strong, do the speakers distort at high volume? What is you overall opinion of it?

Thanks

Good to hear! Seems like the only thing it's missing compared to the 2013/2014 premium mustangs is the leather seats, shaker stereo system and ambient lighting.
And plastic dash (in addition to the rest of the premium package options, pony projection lights, body-color diffuser, etc.). No doubt it sounds awesome tho.

I'll have a few more impressions up tonight after class again... Quick and dirty version is I'm impressed with the sound considering it is a base radio. I can say that it is branded as SHAKER! I don't know if that has been confirmed or not but it was a surprise to me. Again will have more pictures and impressions up tonight!

It is your duty to eventually add a catback & tune & make a video or two.

For some reason I think a slightly juiced 6 would be an extremely nice (fun!!) daily driver option.

I thought I would be dying to change that plastic dash to some aluminum but I am actually liking everything about the interior of the six! Pictures don't do the interior justice....
I like the look of the plastic dash (yes, the aluminum looks great too), but I am concerned that it will make the interior feel cheap. Can you say any more about it. Does it have a hollow sound when you tap it?

Whatever I get will be a daily driver, so if you get a chance please give us an update on your fuel economy.

Thanks for the review and pictures.

I completely agree with you! Plan to do just this eventually...!
