America, Fuck Yea. Love that car.

Absolutely SICK photos. I'm a sucker for Depth of Field shots... That must be one very wide open lens there... Reminds me of my f/1.4, with DoF that thin.

Yeah I'd buy a Challenger instead too. It just has an aura of circumstance about it that you don't get in the other two.

argggg..... I think if that was a 6MT my brain would have exploded. It just looks sooo much better than the 2005-2009 Mustang. I just learned about depth of field from my cousin too, makes me appreciate photography all the more

one day....

If you still have 56K, you should be banned from the Internet.

Tell you brothers to get DSL. If DSL is not offered in their area, they're living in the wrong area.

Nice Shots Sarlacc, especially the full dash shot from the backseat.

To Ford: Please put legible speedo gauges in this car! Heritage is fine and dandy but I can't read those while I'm mashing the throttle in 3rd gear! Oh and get rid of the cheap looking black plastic for exterior bottom trim.

5.0 Engine bay is sex, Ford got that right.

My gf's brother had 06 Mustang GT 6MT, and I had driven his car multiple times on the highway. Going WOT in 3rd gear, the speedo gauge isn't bad at all.

Hi JS

Was it a five hundred? Until 2011, the regular GT was only offered in a five speed.

The exterior of the car is gorgeous, one of the things about the interior that sticks out the most to me is the size of the speedo. The needle is a pretty thick needle, yet the actual markers for your speed are small, looks like you'd always have to be guessing within 5mph of your actual speed...

You all know I didnt buy this car right?

Interior is OK, its nice for what it is. The quality of the materials is decent, feels more solid than the last gen. The leather is OK...not as good as the Challenger.

Here in Japan, I have the slowwwwwww DSL......

47 Mb/s

No typo. Y3900 a month total (phone service plus internet and DSL)...... 100 MB and 1 GB fiber-to-home is available.

Very nice Dave...... love the DoF shots. The interior parts are much nicer than the previous model, and if the dash wasn't so upright....

But for muscle cars, I think the Challenger still does it for me.

That's going to sell like hotcakes. Still not a fan of the standard center stack. Navigation stack looks 1000x better.

I'm definitely not a Ford guy, but I'd take one. Hell, I'd buy the V6.

Love this car! Great pics - thanks much.

If I were in the market, this new Mustang would be at the top of my "see" list and quite likely to find a home in my garage. I saw quite a few 2011 Mustangs last week on vacation, but all were of the 6-cylinder variety. Once again, Ford hit it right with this one.

Expecting anything special interior-wise in a muscle car is like looking for love in a brothel.... good luck!
