I've been in the mustang world for a long time. So long that it felt like i needed a little change in my life, not the kind obama promised either. I was in the market for something I could DD and get good gas mileage, something fun to drive, and something I could throw the kinds in the back easily too if we head to the mountains. I debated a new GT over and over, but for what I wanted to do, the ST just won my heart over. Its not 700rwhp like my cobra was, and Im beyond fine with that. But I can get in it and drive it anywhere with a road, get it inspected at any place I want without having to know someone, and average 28 mpg without breaking a sweat. Not to mention hang a curve like a go cart! I think its time to introduce the new ride officially. After much heartache trying to buy a 2015 this one fell right into my lap so I'm thinking it was meant to be. Here is a few pics of my Magnetic Metallic 2015 ST3 after cleaning her up this morning. I'm loving her hands down!
~~Update~~
Haven't gotten any good pics with the cold shotty weather so I finally got the car cleaned, clayed, stripped down, then sealed with some collinite 845

I'm just about done with it now until I go big turbo. It's tuned and made 264whp and 355ftlbs

Now I just gotta figure out what I'm gonna do about suspension.......


Haven't done suspension yet.... But it's coming. Still paying off the intercooler off my credit card... More pics though of its current state.

Solid ride. Is that color new for the 15s? I dont think I've seen it in the previous models.

Sweet color! You made the right choice, save the HP monster for another mustang down the road and enjoy the new ST as your DD. When you have some time see if you can take some pics of the new dash and gauges.

nice pick up. i love that color! i was playing with the build a car function on fords website, and found you cant combine the grey you have with the tangerine scream interior. shame, because that would be such a killer combo!

I keep hearing how fun these are to drive. With a addition to the family coming, I'm serious tossing up the idea of trading my lightning in on one.

Sweet ride Travis, and good to see you around! You think you'll opt for the RS when it comes out after driving the ST?

They are incredible to drive.. The 2015 got the facelift and the suspension reworked too. They are point and shoot steering.

I love those cars. I'd so get one but when I finally got the chance to sit in one...I didn't fit very well in it. Maybe it was the Recaros
