Hi there. I'm Mike. I recently bought a 2012 GT premium, which is my first Mustang. I've been a Chevy guy for a long time, but the new Chevys turn me off. I've always had a soft spot for the sound of a 5.0 Mustang with Flowmasters and secretly wanted one. My son recently got his license, so instead of buying him a car, my wife and I decided I could get a new car and he could take over the minivan I'd been driving. I knew I wanted a performance car since it's been 13 years since I've owned one. I decided I wanted a newer Mustang, so I went out and bought this one.

I've had it for 2 months now, and installed long tube headers, a CAI, Flowmasters, lowered it 1.5", added rear quarter louvers, tint, and installed red halos. Next (when the wife allows) are a Boss 302 intake, cowl hood, and new cams. I've done all the work myself.

Greetings fm NE & congrats on the new-to-you ride. Sweet look'n GT & good call on handing-down the van to your teen so you could get the 'stang. Just be wary of the old saying..."if the van's a rock'n..." ;) :D

JK, remember to teach your teen to drive a stick...they'll thank you later. :D

Thanks!

I plan on teaching him to drive a stick, but want to wait for warmer weather. I have a 2005 Ranger that's a 5 speed that he's wanting to drive. He kept talking about learning in the Mustang, until I took him out for a ride a few nights ago. Now he's scared of it. :) I didn't go above 70, but we got there in a hurry.

Welcome to the forum. My boy turned 15 a couple of months ago and is in no hurry to get his permit. I couldn't wait to get mine. I even offered to let him drive the Bullitt a little for some incentive and the look of horror that crossed his face perplexed me.
"Don't you want to drive it?"
"Hell no! If I wrecked it you'd kill me!"
LOL!!!
