Told some old members on here I would post some pics, heres a few, for more go to http://www.photobucket.com/brians2012mustang

I still have the Q but I sold the 20's. My q is going to be my winter ride. Its parked at my parents for the season, Dad's refabricating the other side's running boards and is going to attempt to fix some rust for me.

I ordered my stang in December, delivery was march 15. I got a great deal on it.....0% financing, $1000 costco and $1250 off since my friends dad works for Ford. $34500 all in. I never liked domestics but always loved stangs, just hated the interiors, that all changed this gerneration. I couldn't comprehend the extra $15,000 for a brand new 370Z...It's nice, but not as nice as this imo.... :gapteeth: The new V6 sounds like a Z car...its weird...but i love it!

2012 Mustang V6 Premium
305 hp, 30 mpg, 0-60 mph 5.1sec
Kona Blue, 6spd manual, leather, Sync, MyColour (lights up footwheels, cupholders,gauges at night while driving), pirelli tires

Not the way I've been driving! Lol haven't been on a long highway drive yet but that 6th gear is why it gets better mileage. I'm going 2 hours out of town next weekend let's see what it gets

Lol nope. Keeping it all stock. I love those wheels. I loved how my 20s looked on my q but they just were a mess for ride quality and really killed my suspension and brakes just because they were so damn heavy. I may get gt500 wheels when my warranty is up and the cars paid off, and a borla exhaust, thats it though!

Brian, Nice Stang!! Congratz man. Agree with you on previous years, interior needed upgraded materials. Current year is incredible. Yesterday I saw a Convertible with big retro 5.0 badges on the side.

haha yep all new v8s come with those 5.0 badges :)

My dads helping me fix up my q, its at my parents place for the winter. Hes redoing the stepsides and rewelding everything on those, and fixing up some paint. All my fenders are rusting under the plastic and my front ones its above the plastic. Looking for replacement fenders but lowest ive seen is $300/side once thats all fixed up im going to look for stock pathfinder LE wheels. I sold my 20s and hate the qx4 wheels. I also got rid of the subs im just returning everything to stock, my q is so reliable i just wanna keep it running good :)

I was thinking the same thing.
Also, I always wanted to ask what happened to our last moderator (Pwnin O'brien).

I have no idea what happened to him. He seemed to just disappear all of a sudden.

I miss Empty V around here, too. He'd make a great moderator I think. He posted on NPORA the other day.

Sweet Mustang! Manual transmission too :bigthumb:

I actually did some test driving today and drove the new Mustang(2012) 5.0L 6speed and that things hauls A%#!!!!!! Clutch was very light for a high horsepower car not like the SN95 Cobra I had nor the old fox bodies.

The other car I drove was a 2012 WRX and that thing was just as fun to drive. More nimble than the mustang and more practical but both were very fun cars.

Dont think I have been on here as long as most of you, but definitely dont see many of the "old crew" anymore. R50's are getting replaced ALOT! Wonder what happened to Pwnin also.

Back to Brians Stang-is that the aftermarket wing you were telling me about?? I dig those louvers on American Muscle. And as stated, you say keep it stock now, but you know that aftermarket bug is going to bite Soon! And just to think, there is a TON of aftermarket unlike the R50.... Glad to hear you are keeping the Q for winter. Not much power in the 3.3 but it has been rock solid.
