I will try an upload some pictures. I just went to see it at the dealer and took some iPhone pics. It is a 2012 Roush Stage 2, which is basically cosmetic and suspension upgrades made to a Mustang GT. I also added 20" Hyper Black wheels and Roush exhaust. Stage 3 has the blower.

I know the mustang does not compare to the ISF. I have a 2011 M3 for my DD. My wife wanted a lower car payment. With the 1.9% for 72 months they are offering, it was the best bang for the buck out there. The payment went down almost $200 bucks a month and we will own the Mustang. It doesn't compare to the ISF but the wife was complaining about 2 high car payments. This was the best alternative.

Indeed you are right. Great car for the money as well as financing option. I must say the engine build quality is the best I have seen for a ford. No longer are there vacuum lines and unnecessary hoses running all over the place. Engine compartment is clean and the engine MODS from CAI to headers and exhaust are plentiful.
I see you have the loaded features, with the HID's ...nice.

Thanks Civic. I haven't driven the car yet. I hope the Roush suspension helps the 1970's suspension technology feel like a current automobile should. I am looking at a Steeda CAI and tune to help with the throttle reposnse even though the dealer says it will void the warranty. The car does not respond like the M3 when revving the motor. After all, it is a Mustang. I agree, the motor is well designed. I just can't believe they are still using a live axle after all these years. GM is still using a single cam pushrod motor. I don't know what it worse.
