2007 Mustang GT/CS (California special). Just picked it up last tuesday with 9 miles on it.


-comfort package
-interior upgrade package
-GT apperance package
-California special package
-18 inch polished rims
-5 spd manual trans
-two tone leather
-3.55 gears
-Sirius satillite radio
-shaker 500 stereo

So what happened to the SS?

Gotta say I'm really not a fan of these things, but to each his own. Congrats on the new purchase.

The SS was about to reach the end of it's warrenty term and with all the things randomly breaking on it in the last 8,000 miles or so I had to let it go.
The Mustang is 5 times the car the Cobalt was as well, and I really did like the Cobalt.

Oh yeah, and the most important part....RWD ROCKS! I can powerslide again! :evillol:

Coolness. Looks good, although I'm not a fan of the polished rims... some how they just don't fit the car to me.

Should be a fun car for you. Congrats :thumbsup:

Wow it looks really clean. Gotta disagree with Matt, as the rims make the car look alot more clean to me.

I'd like those cars, if they were only 200 - 300lbs. lighter. They're far too heavy, and even outweigh my boat by close to 200lbs.

Hopefully will see some track times once you break in the car.

BTW what did you have to get repaired on the Cobalt SS throughout your time with it?

Maybe it's the low quality pictures, but the wheels just look bad... too bright in my opinion.


EDIT: But, I do like the way the new Mustangs sound with a cat-back... super throaty.

nice, i love the front end on those cars :thumbsup:

not a fan of the new stangs, but i'm sure its a much much nicer car than the cobalt. i mean it is a higher class of car after all.

Why is it that so many people don't like the new Mustangs? I don't get it :dunno: Hell, I'm a GM fanatic and even I bought one!

I've got nothing wrong with the car itself, I think it's pretty decent actually.

I'm just not a fan of the wheels. :lol:

i for one love your choice.... definately a car i'd like to get... whenever (ifever) i upgrade from what i have now and decide not to do the swap.

beautiful color, great rims... excellent. :thumbsup:

Oh hellz no! you bought a pony?

Im the opposite of most people, I hate Ford but I love the new Mustang, looks mean as hell with the quad light grill, bad ass sound, rock solid motor and even launches better then the GTO.

I was considering getting one for the wife but they want way too much money for the GT down here in MIA.

Wow this thread is so full of hate. I know it must be great to own a brand new V8 Mustang. Making fun of his rims? CMON!!

Doood polished wheels on black cars are L337. You've had your head in that LA smog for a bit too long Matty. You need to take a trip to Phx where it's slightly less smoggy. Then you'll see the light...(which used to be the sun but is now a dim brown spec in the sky due to the unsavory conditions of the ozone directly above Phx.) But you will see it. :lol:

I believe a burnout video request is in order

sweet ride bulldog, i really love those new mustangs. I saw one guy with a new one at the track, had intake and tune, was running mid 13's.

I'll get some melted rubber on video within the next week 'er two, don't you worry about that. ;)

The forum Eurosnob gives this car a :bigthumb:

What exactly did that CS package give you? The 05' + Mustang is one of the few American cars I don't mind.

I love it good choice. Have fun with it.

Awesome Car! I like the CS package too, what are your plans for it?

Just some light bolt-on stuff and a full exhaust w/ tuning. Once it's in the 300-320 whp range I'll be satisfied with her for the time being.

What does the California Special do? Is like.. an apperance package?

Mad tyte stickers yo?!

Knowing how California is the package is more then likely an even more restrictive exhaust system so that the car will pass California's emissions control systems. Man this state is retarded. Like maybe they should put some emissions compliance on vehicles that are known to create alot of pollution (Semi Trucks and RTD's).

I like the car, but not the wheels. Is it a manual?

Just curious, but what kind of problems were you having with the SS/SC?

Yup, it's an apperance package and it does infact have mad tyte stickers...yo. One on each door. It's the front fascia, side scoops (like the GT's from the previous generation) and a rear bumper with defusers on the bottom.

And no, it doesnt have any special exhaust to pass cali emissions standards. Hell, it was never meant to be sold in Cali from the fact that it doesnt have a front plate mount on the front bumper like a lot of Mustangs do. It also doesnt have the Cali emissions standards option like a few of the cars I have seen.

As far as the Cobalt's problems go...the mounts were all shot (yes all of them, GM thought it was a good idea to use the same mounts from the 145 hp Ecotecs for the supercharged LSJ...this proved to be bad...Like, DUH!) and the dealership was being stupid about replacing them. They only replaced one which caused the motor to move about horribly while shifting and caused massive amounts of wheelhop from quick starts from a stop. This lead to the tranny's failure (cracked the tranny case.)

The dealership replaced the tranny under warrenty but still refused to replace any of the mounts. I personally love that, instead of replacing $40 worth of mounts, they choose to replace a $1500 tranny. Then on top of that they completely fucked up the new tranny install. The clutch felt like shit, make horrible sqeaking noises while shifting and slipped badly even under light shifting.

There was also a clunk in the frontend which sounded to me like a bad balljoint which the dealerships could never track down and a few other issues here and there. My car alone has put GM in the hole for the year 2006. :rofl:
And there were also a few other problems here and there that were always cropping up. None of which I wanted to pay for after my warrenty was out.


Anywho, to make a long story short...Mustang > Cobalt...


P.S. It is in fact a manual

time being eh? when is the camaro going to be finished?

It'll be out of the paint/body shop within 2 weeks...I think. It's only been there for 19 months. :disappoin

wow why didnt i see this sooner... i must say i was kinda shocked when i saw that you of all people got this. but nice car! i love em myself (if you couldnt assume that already). im pretty sure that most people you run into are going to be jelous of your car... like me.

i love how they come with 3.55's stock. that really helps things out a lot as far as launching goes. all the mag tests had it faster than a ls1 gto 0-60 because of that.

Faster than an LS1 goat huh? I had no clue about that. So what are these supposed to be able to run bone stock with 3.55's...isn't it around 13.7 or so?

yup its around that. ive seen 13.5. the goat comparison was close, but i remember seeing it in Car and driver. and that was 0-60. idk about 1/4 times.
