New guy in a 5oh

[riored4v]

Recently traded in my 2011 STi on a new 2012 5.0. Been itching to get back in to a mustang for a long time now, and the deal worked out very much in my favor so I couldn't pass it up. Winter time will not be nearly as much fun without AWD, but every other day will be a blast These new ones are sooo much nicer than any previous model I've had. Loving it!

Really can't get over how much more quiet they are inside over previous models. Actually feels like a well put together car lol

Gorgeous car, I didn't know they made sterling grey in a 2012 model.


Nice STI too, but that's definitely an upgrade

Honestly didnt know they did either. When I was looking on the Ford site, I only saw it under the 2013 option.

I definitely liked the car and had no intentions of getting out of it unless the deal was perfect. I almost wished I had a chance to do the intake/tune on it to hear that turbo and bypass valve

I would have kept the STI, and I've owned nothing but Mustangs since I started driving 8 years ago.

Good looking Mustang though!

This will be #8 for me over the 14 years I've been driving. The STi is fun, but a totally different and slower kind of fun.... along with expensive as h3ll to mod.

Thanks
