I never thought I would be interested in a Mustang, especially at 67 years old. But, I kept reading about this car and felt moved to order one. I received this stunning looking car about 3 weeks ago and must say this is really a joy to look at and to drive. I've owned quite a number of Porsche's and Ferrari's and although my Porsche is quite a bit faster than the Mustang, the GT is more exhilarating to drive. My wife thinks I've completely lost my mind but this brings back some old muscle car memories from my past. In my younger days, I owned a 66' Chevy II L79 and at one time a 67 vette L88 (didn't realize what I had). Anyway the 350 represents a blast from the past and I'm enjoying it, even though I'm getting looks like, "What's the old man doing in that thing?". I can live with it.

It's a beautiful car. Great color combo.


Let your wife know that your Mustang friends feel your mind is totally where it's supposed to be :)

Welcome. Love the color and the stripes. Awesome car. Enjoy it.

I had a 700 RWHP C7. While the C7 was way faster in a straight line, the GT350 is much more fun to drive. What it lacks in tq down low, it more than makes up for above 3500 RPM. I like to keep the revs above 3500 RPM when doing any spirted driving. It still boggles my mind that this thing freely revs to 8250 RPM!

Yeah I'm in the same boat over 65 and wife thinks I'm nuts. Nice color and the R is where it's at for sure. I like the red letters on the front spoiler it goes real well with the stripes.:thumbsup:

Congrats on the gorgeous car. Love that LB. :cheers:

Waiting for my 17R (OW, blue OTT), which is supposed to be next year. :doh:

You will have to bring it to AMP and try it out. :headbang:
