New Toy

[strube]

So...here are the pics I promised of the new toy I got home a few weeks ago, after a super-quick trip to Dallas.

I had an awesome opportunity on a trip to Lost Wages last weekend to start learning how to properly use my camera, among other things...

Those roads plus that car is a surefire recipe for trouble! Car looks sweet, nice pics.

Very Nice!
That looks like a good area to open her up a bit.
What optional packages did you get?
Good luck with it, enjoy.

Let's try to keep it clean, okay?



Strube - awesome! I thought that this would be a photo shoot tribute to the Fusion, but I suppose this will do...

Yeah, that's right...double grinning.

Thanks Rick! It was definitely a fun trip.

It has the electronics package, the performance package, and Recaro seats. Pretty much the only options it doesn't have are the glass roof and Shaker 1000 trunk subwoofers. The seats are amazing and, as with all Mustangs, the stock stereo sucks. I don't listen to the stereo much in this car anyway...but I will still probably upgrade it eventually...

Thanks Adam! I will have to make the trip again and take pics of the Fusion in the same places.

That's not a TOY Congrats. I wasn't impressed with the interior for the price, but that car isn't about interior

Nice, is that a 2013? I was just reading about the 2013 last night in 5.0 Mustang.

And the answer to the question is, "Yes, you do suck."

I can understand that. The leather Recaro seat option helped a lot with that for me.

As far as raw performance goes though, the next closest thing is the Caddy CTS-V coupe and its much nicer interior would have cost me an extra $22500 with its Recaro option and the extra CA taxes, plus I would have had to put up with its ugly(er?) rump. What can you do?

Nah, I would have wanted the 2013 with its extra 100 HP and less black plastic, but it would have been way more spendy. I got a great deal on this 2012 one, it was about $250 under dealer cost. Sorry about the suckage.

It's ok.

I really don't like the look of the CTS-V coupe. OK from the front, but the tail is really not so good.

Not complaining about the Mustang either, it is just that I expected them to spend a little more time differentiating and maybe improving the interior from the other models, rather than just some trim pieces. FWIW, I don't care for the interior of the Camaro at all either. Like I said though, pony cars aren't supposed to be about high end interior

I concur 100% on all counts.

...and thank you for calling them pony cars instead of muscle cars!! Even pony car enthusiasts say it wrong these days.

The CTS-V looks great to me :>

Sedan is fine, coupe: not so much.
