yeah that was sorta dumb to go over board like that... but my dad is turning 65 next year and helping my bro pay for it so he is gonna be driving some and wanted something nice so he got like every option

the glass top will make it a bit more unique

you know ive been looking at videos on youtube all night and i found one of the recaros...i had no idea they were not powered... they have like big levers on them that pump up the seat WTF

here is red with the recaros
Race Red 2013 Track Pack Mustang GT - YouTube

invoice is probably doable just need to find the right dealer or wait a bit.... i hope the dealer sticks to his word on ours...but i wasnt involved so im not really sure what they agreed to.. my dad swears it was like 1K over invoice but who knows.... but for 45K it better be a good bit off... thats way high i mean doesnt a boss sticker for less than that?

its funny my brother sold his 05 GT for 14K last month... and 10 of that went to options ..thats crazy

then i looked and saw people were getting 4.7 0-60 with the track app... that aint half bad

im also impressed with all the other things the track app shows... like air inlet temp... thats really valuable when at the drag strip.... it shows cylinder head temps air fuel ratio and a bunch of others

If you sign up for some brochures on Ford's website, you'll likely get a $750 off coupon through email or regular mail. They'll be valid for any Ford.

I thought about getting a 2013 Mustang briefly, but I really wanted a Boss instead of a GT, but after the price difference it just didn't make sense.

m4a1mustang · 04-20-2012, 08:56 AM

Nice. FWIW, based on what I'm seeing on the forums, many of the orders are coming in a lot sooner than 8 weeks.

m4a1mustang · 04-20-2012, 08:59 AM

Recaros

I have the Ford Racing Recaros (cloth + alcantara just like the Boss) out for delivery today. With all my suspension mods I really need seats that will keep me in place better. Can't wait to get them in.

Red__Zed · 04-20-2012, 09:14 AM

Glad you enjoyed the drive. I would definitely spring for the recaros.

I am very jealous of the looks of the 2013...front end looks much better IMO.

I will say that the black is not that difficult to take care of, but I'd much rather have the red.

Nikkolai · 04-20-2012, 11:42 AM

Wow, $74k for the Boss? That's not even the Laguna Seca version and even then, their sticker is $48-$50k. I could've waited for the 2013's but the 2013's don't have the orange/black color scheme I really wanted. I'm missing out on the track app and Ford sync. I don't really like the big nose GT500 front ends and but I do like the new tails and vented hood. I haven't driven around with the stiffest settings but Ford set it from the factory at 2. (range is from 1-5)

TongMan · 04-20-2012, 02:32 PM

This dealer had this 2012 GT Premium on the lot too, but I'd rather go for the 2013. While checking my pictures, I noticed that there was no strut bar. I thought that it was standard equipment, am I wrong? Plus they wanted too much for it.

m4a1mustang · 04-20-2012, 02:39 PM

The strut bar only comes on the cars equipped with the Brembo package. That one doesn't have that option. If you want one I would just order and get exactly what you want. Shouldn't take long.

Here are the leather Recaros:

Must have. I wish they were an option when I got mine. No worries, though. My cloth/alcantara Recaros were just delivered.

TongMan · 04-20-2012, 03:00 PM

How much did those cost you?

A lot more than they would cost to add the option in on an order.

Lug · 04-20-2012, 03:12 PM

I'd recommend a 2012 GT if anyone is buying now. They are flingging them out the door with over $5k discounts in my area. I actually got a price under $27k for a stripper (non-premium) with the brembo package last time I checked. T hat's a hard deal to pass on.

m4a1mustang · 04-20-2012, 03:19 PM

Should be able to get the '13s at or below invoice soon if you can't get them there now. I know if I was in the market I would be getting a '13, even if there are insane savings on the '12s because I would want the track app function and the Recaros.
