I picked up the new car tonight after work.
'13 Base Mustang GT with the track pack. It's going to be tough not to get in trouble with this one.
Compared to the truck with off-road suspension I got rid of, and the Miata on coilovers and R888s, the ride feels like a luxury car to me. Even with 255/40/19s and stiffer suspension.
More of a review once it break 70 miles and I can get some pics tomorrow.
Sweet! I really like how the mustang has changed. really making something special now.
Like this but in my driveway.
There were three new-ish Mustangs at the dollar store when I drove by today. Half of the shoppers were 'stang drivers. There are a LOT of mustangs around here. Even with all of that, I still really really want one. Nice car.
How much did you overpay for this abomination? Oh, and how bad is the pixel problem?
Super jealous right now. Congrats on a cool car purchase.
Looks good in white.
Congratulations!
I wouldn't mind driving one of those things one bit...

What is the pixel problem?

I actually just came back to post, that I was a dumb@ss. It was bugging me, "What is there something up with stereo displays, or what?"
DERP!
As far as price, with the current $1500 rebate, $30k I think sticker was ~$33,500. Better than X plan pricing and the dealership I worked with made the process nice and easy.
Still too rich for my wallet, but then, the R/C version is a bit rich for MY wallet...
I drove one in 2005/2006 and wasn't happy with the outward/upward visibility. Has it gotten any better with the newer cars? As in don't be first at a light or you will have your head near the dash looking up to try and see said light.
Awesome, and so jealous!
I'm hoping to get a little seat time in a new Boss this weekend, I can't wait!
That looks spectacular in white!
In reply to Spinout007:
You've never driven an original 65-66 mustang have you? They were the same way.
Also, I too dig the white, I'll also applaud you for the wingless GT, looks much better without it.
Awesome car! I think you've made a good choice. It's definitely one of the new car bargains, in my opinion.
Damn that looks like fun!!
Thanks guys, I'm a lucky man to have a wife that allows a Miata track rat and a new GT mustang as my only cars.
Got to hit a few of my favorite off-ramps at lunch.........as many have said, just incredible how it turns given it's mass. And with the Track Pack 3.73 gears vs stock 3.31.......it's a monster in nearly gear, from below 3k even. I have to remind myself not to shift at 5k like the old fox body cars.......
The Engine is REALLY awesome in the 5500-6600 range. Just love a V8 that's so willing to rev.....I giggle like a school girl everytime I punch the throttle.
Spinout007, I don't find the visibility to be terrible (much better than the '06 350Z I used to own), but I don't have a problem.
If you aren't sure if something is in your blind spot, a judicious application of the throttle will remove all doubt. 
My uncle has purchased one of these as well. I'm going to have to make a visit to Canada to check it out, as I find them quite interesting. Congrats!

Come to Hallett next year, swap a drive in a V8 Miata for 5.0?
