Everybody's doing it...
So why not jump the new car band wagon. Picked this up last weekend.
It's a 2013 Mustang GT w/ Track Package and Recaro seats. All I could ever ask for and then some.

That is probably my favorite color on any car. And I love how the Stangs look from the rear, pretty damn aggressive.

Awesome! Looks Fantastic!

Almost got one two days ago. But when I went for a test drive the tranny whined, so I passed. I'll be driving another tomorrow.

Are you on any of the Mustang boards?

Was it used? How's your car search going? Still want that Camaro now? Lol

I'm on Themustangsource. I browse around Allfordmustangs too but I don't post on there.

I was just building my own on their website yesterday and came out with almost the exact same car as you just picked up. My favorite color for the Mustang, and looks perfect with the Track Package wheels. Very nice, enjoy!

No it was a new 2013 California special, that whined. I really liked it. But there is no way possible I could buy it brand new with a whine considering all of the horror stories about the MT82.

If the car, tomorrow, whines then it will be a Camaro Vert for sure. I'll only get a Camaro in a vert.

I find a lot of douchebags on AFM, but there is some good info there. I'll have to check out Themustangsource.

The car is great. It's my first performance car.

It has plenty of power when I need it but smooth when I want to cruise but with the 3.73 Gears, I have to be constantly shifting. I love just mashing the throttle in a turn to get that back end sliding. It's pretty easy to drive actually.
Ride quality with the Track Pack is ok. Just a tad stiffer than my Stock TL but way better than when I had those HT-Spec coil-overs on my TL. These Recaros are the most comfortable seats I've ever been in, holds me in tight.

There a bunch of stuff I don't like but I'll name a few. The shifter is terrible, it's loud at 70mph (combination of tires and road noise), Throttle response is too slow and those damn cup holders.

What he said^^

The Brembo Package is around $1,700. Brembo Brakes for the Front, Pirelli P Zero Summer Tires (The price of these alone make the package worth it.) and 19" Wheels.
So the track package includes the Brembo Package + Torsen Rear Diff, 3.73 Gears, Boss 302 Radiator/Oil Cooler. All for $2,500.

Along with the Recaros, I call it the Baby Boss 302.

My friend and I were looking for some leftover 2012 GTs but weren't able to find any with good pricing. Were you able to get a good deal with the 2013?
