Check the differences in the front and rear ends of the 11/12's and the 13's/14's, and whether you've a preference. You'll notice the latter have adopted the 'Shelby' nose.

I bought the MT-82 and have been very pleased with it. 30K now, stock fluid and shifter.

I'd suggest trying to include a comfort pkg. for the Mrs. Will give her a 6way adj seat and splits out the ventilation controls.

Car's been a hoot for almost 2 years now. 18 day 5400 mile road trip 5 weeks after delivery. For me, an outstanding road car. I'm 53.

Here's a pic of that trip while in Glacier Natl Pk, and a pic of my interior.

Sorry to thread jack, but for you guys that have changed your tranny fluid, is this a DIY job or did you have to take it to the shop to get it done? Even after changing over to the Steeda Tri-Ax shifter and bracket, I still feel like my shifter is a little notchy and still hard to shift when it's cold. I may have to try some Amsoil fluid.

Oh dude easy as pie. Just be careful of the cheap pumps. Hell drive to wetumpka and ill help you.

Hi guys, up- date, I drove a 2003 modded Cobra T today, nice awesome, fast, and very loud. It was fun, but I see myself in a 5.0. Loved reading all your threads, great advice. I have a change of mind on stick vs auto, not a must. If the 5.0 is any where near the 03 T like I have read, I believe I will have more than enough power. Drove home on the interstate last night in the daughters 2002 Sonic Blue, got passed by a Lambo! Kicked the six banger in and passed the brother. Ended up getting off the interstate in front of the Lambo. God Bless the Ford Mustang!! Side note, I know the dude could have blown the doors off me. but oh well, good kill any way(right?) Thanks guys, sorry for any mis spells and non sense, old guy trying to learn how to text.

Get a 12' or 13' Boss and call it the day! Curious to see what the 15' will look like...
