That was VERY manly of you to realize you ain't ready for the CTS-V. Walk away with your head held high...But your tail still in between your legs you wussy!

I love them cars! Good choice in trollin! But you do know what they say huh? "Hang out in a Barber Shop long enough you are bound to get a hair cut." Looks like you will come to the TORQUE side of things soon enough.

$20'sK ... That would be a score. Be patient and look for a BY OWNER sale. There is always someone with a bad situation somewhere that needs to get rid of a toy or extra.

That was the same budget I was looking for almost 2 yrs ago when the 5.0's were just topping into the 29-30k. Ended up finding my Money Pit in Tx online 1 owner LOW miles at $27k SHIPPED! and of course, BLACK!

I was watching the 5.0's for a LONGGGG time too...to be honest, if I was sure I'd be happy and it had 4 doors, I'd probably have one already.

I test drove the coyote 4 times a the end of 2010...

that's how sure I was that I wanted it.

They are honestly great cars. Like myself, the reason u do hear fails is due to the owners modding them and beating the snot out of em. Which was the fall of my OE motor + AED tuner = KaBoom! Other than that, very stout and reliable car and fun to drive when keeping the mods modest. Mine on the other hand is a whole different level. I am with some exotics, ZO6's and GTR's...Pssssh! Whatever! I eat GTR's as a appetizer and soon to bump that status to the next level here soon. IMO, u have your sites on THE sexiest 4 door "Sports" class in performance hand s down.

Thanks man...I tend to agree.

Not gonna lie though, I still thoroughly enjoy driving the TL and S2000...I wonder how much trouble I'll get myself into.

Jeremy, you're right those CTS-Vs are still too high. $30-40k past warranty is too expensive for me too (if not i would've been riding in one right now).

That would be a pretty damn impressive line up. All that would be left is something European

Ha! If I had a V...I doubt I'd drive my other 4 door car very often. And the wife will not approve it if at least one doesn't end up being my down payment on the V.

I like what I've got MUCH better anyway!



If I kept the Premier Edition, I would have felt like I couldn't have modified it because it was a Premier Edition. So in retrospect, this is better anyway.

for some reason, you know things just work out for the best when we take our greedy hands off and be patient sometimes.

Good Morning Fam... I think its time I pay a visit and share my story as I am licking my wounds but doing well on my feet and behind the wheel again! The black 2012 Mustang GT 5.0 is gone (R.I.P) Oct 10th the weekend of FL2K riding out to a meet, I was T - Boned on the passenger side while at a stand still waiting my turn to make a left into the parking lot where we were meeting. The other driver (Honda RidgeLine) plowed into me at speeds of 60-65mph. I was taken to the hospital for multiple injuries with the most obvious being a 3-4in split gash on my dome which required 8 staples and lead to what was diagnosed as a severe concussion & brain hemorrhage being the most severe. In addition, I was admitted for 3.5 days till cleared CAT scans and MRI's. I also had bumps, bruises with flesh wound and burns from the airbag deployment. In all as bad as it sounds, I was ok and completely coherent of the event with full "HD" memory recollection.

Weeks later, the bank is paid, I am paid my loan overage vs payout value of the car and all parts were pulled and sold before she met her final resting place. I had several friends come to my aid and need to turn wrenches and get these parts off within days before the adjuster came out to see her. By the time the adjuster came to see the car, he was looking at a 2012 Mustang GT... with a built block, headers and brand new race clutch. I could not come up with a swap to remove... Jumping forward 2+ weeks

I started to "Window Shop" for my replacement car and knew! it just had to be another Coyote! But this time around, I will not and can not do a full build from scatch again. I just couldn't. I was then on the hunt for a clean!!! build, boosted with all supporting mods. I will sure let the previous owner take the hit and losses and I will be patient till I found the ONE! ... Then it hit me, DING! I have close good friend who was trying to sell his car for almost 3mo but dealing with nothing but tire kickers and lowballers and no success on a actual serious buyer. This car is pretty much mirror to my build front to back with a few mis-ques splitting between our likes or details. This to me was all minor stuff and not important. The most important thing was I knew exactly what I was getting, a "GARAGE QUEEN" with only 19k on a HI Performance White Mustang GT 5.0, full bolt on, full suspension, Tuned E85 mid-low 9sec TWIN TURBO Savage... In short, this car would have dragged my car for approx 3 cars! This should definitely help the healing process Signed sealed and delivered approx 1.5 wk ago.

I will leave you with that... pic to come

*sorry for any misspelling etc. At work, typing fast to share

and YES... work is already in progress for the past 3-5 days. My personally fixes, likes and over all stance of the car. Fun Times...again

I was waiting for you to update your thread. I'm glad to see you were ok from the accident. It could have a lot worse and I know you were down about the car being totaled. In the end, everything worked out. You ended up with a faster car and a better looking one IMO (not that I'm biased to white or anything ) Now I really want to come up and go for a ride in this beast.

sorry to hear about the crazy accident but glad to hear you came out relatively ok...that's scary.

but i do have to say you have had the worst luck with cars lately, first all the things that went wrong and long on your build and then to have it end like that. hopefully this one stays around and you don't have any issues

U feel my pain...lol! Positive vibes & fun times from here on OUT! But sometimes, you must take some lumps and understand it comes with the territory at times. Then, there are cases like this one, you just don't have any control of regardless of how careful you are.
