Just a quick note to say hello, to all on the forum.
My name is Stephen.
I currently work on heavy duty trucks, I have 23 years as a helicopter mechanic, and 4 years working for a Chevy dealer as a tech.
My user name is my Ham radio call sign.

I have a 2013 GT on order.

Sweet, nice to see someone change sides for the good!!! LOL

Welcome to CMOC

I am a Ford man from way back.
My last Ford is a 97 with over 300,000km on it.
The one before that I sold with over 160,000 miles on it.
So now back to RWD and Ford.

Hey Welcome aboard! What color and options did you order?

Welcome to CMOC!!

Sorry, I guess your signature answers my questions...:brickhead
Can't wait to see pics, once you get her.:tup

Welcome to the club Stephen!

Well I did order a block heater as well. As I plan to use her as my daily driver. If the snow gets too bad I can grab one of the 4x4 farm trucks. First upgrade will be winter tires.

Yes I will post some photos when she shows up.

Welcome and congrats on the new ride. Your gonna love it!

Welcome to the group.

I have just been told that my build date is next week.
So I am looking at around the 17th of Aug. for my new GT.
It is starting to feel like an early Christmas.

In that case, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas dude, no peeking lol, 'grats on the new GT, that's awesome, and welcome to CMOC.

Hey Steven! I just got my 2013 GT, Black on Black! I ordered it in March and it showed up on June 27th. I didn't get the Recaro seats or the brake upgrade, but I got the electronics package and the 401 equipment package. So far I have 1300 Km's but I'm going out to put some Km's on today, another 300 and it's broken in. You are going to LOVE the car it's incredible! I have been babying it so far and my mileage is 22 mpg (I still like mpg). You will love the projection from the bottom of the mirrors in the dark, the running mustang on the ground! I get a lot of comments and looks when people see it. I could go on and on about this excellent vehicle, but you will see when you get yours! I still haven't had the time to take pics, I want to get some night shots as well, but right now it's just too much fun to drive it!

Welcome, and I hope you enjoy your new Mustang as much as I do mine!!

Randy

Good day Randy

Yes I am looking forward to the car.
With the Racaro's I believe I loose the pony lights and a few other things.
The Race brake package puts on some of the Boss 302 parts, but no engine parts other than oil coolers, etc.

Yep with the Recaro's we lose some of those little things such as Pony Projector, and heated mirrors and seats.

I would say the trade off is well worth it though.

I thought so too

Welcome aboard good to find someone close to us. did you pick it up at Rainbow ?? Larry is the best guy to buy from there we buy alot of cars and trucks from him !! By the way congrats on the new wheels can't wait to see it awsome ride Buddy !!!!

Yes to all the above. Larry knows me so when I went for my test drives, he just gave me the keys and dealer plates, I take it easy when I drive someone else's car. I was undecided about a Rapter or a car. But after driving a new GT (2013), I had to have one. I know that I am a bit aggressive as a driver at times, and love a good handling car, so that is the reasons for my options. Larry gave me a very good deal, and yes I send others to him.

I just found out that my car did not ship due to bad weather.
I have a new delivery date of 6 Sep 2012.

We just had one come in Friday and it was almost 2 weeks earlier than the estimated delivery date so you may get lucky.

I am looking forward to it.
And I found an 2013 U.S. grille with fog lights for a good price. After I get the grille I will post the information, as to price and where I got it from.

I got the call today.
I will be picking up my new Stang 12 September.
It feels like My Birthday, but I know I will like this gift.

Awesome post some pics when you get it

Welcome to the site. Alberta and winter tires....yep I remember that.

I am ordering winter tires this weekend.
I have my new Stang, all I can say is wow. With the Race track pack, the car handles way better then the GT I test drove.

I will post photos this week end.

Congrats...Can't wait to see some pics! :D

Welcome to CMOC. :)

Glad to hear you like it.

Here is an iPhone photo of my new Mustang.
Yes I love it so far.

Very nice man! Looks great.

Looks great

Hmmm, looks somewhat familiar :)

Looks great! Just out of curiosity what did you order for winter tires? I need to get some for my 13 as well.

Hope you can put up some interior pictures, I would like to see how the recaro's look.

I will post more photos this week end.
I am ordering Pirelli Winter Sottozero Serie II tires, 255/40R19.
I normally use M/S tire, but this is a winter/snow tire.
