Finally got tired of talking about it....picked up a new 13' GT Premium yesterday. So far I really like it, but I've only put about 100 miles on it. It had the exact options I was looking for except for the Brembos, but the price was so right I decided to forego the brakes...maybe I'll add some later down the road. Figured I'll be changing the springs anyway. I do like these wheels a lot more than those black daisy looking ones that seem to be on a lot of the GT Premiums.....

Welcome to the board Rreemo! Very nice Stang you picked up there brother.

In my opinion, the Brembos aren't worth the money anyways if you aren't tracking the car. The stock brakes stop almost just as well, they will just fade a lil sooner at the track. On the street, you will never notice a difference except the looks if you are looking for them. I had the big Brembos on my SRT8 and they were very, very expensive to replace stuff and hard to find in stock anywhere.

Welcome, alot of white 5.0's in this forum. Im thinking the texas heat has something to do with it.

Thanks for the feedback on it Steve....I started realizing it was more of a "for looks" thing with me too, I'm not going to be tracking this car...I might get it out Northstar a few times, but that's different anyway. But if I change my mind, this does appear to be a good option for the money - http://www.americanmuscle.com/svt-brakekit-0509gt.html

Not so much the heat for me...it's where I live, out in the country where everything is so damned dusty....and this really is going to be my daily. My 911 was a really cool darker blue, beautiful color out in the sunlight, but man I could wash that thing and put it straight in the garage, and it would be dirty (covered with dusty/dirt) the next morning if I didn't put the car cover on. Hell....I had to wash the car cover about once a month, otherwise it would leave crap all over the car....and the cover was always on it inside...never outside.

I can relate, i had a black car once and never again would i purchase another. White stays clean 90% of the time and weekly cleanups are not hard to manage to the keep the paint looking good.

Nice ride and welcome!

Welcome fellow '13 owner!

I do like those wheels. Had I gotten a premium, those would've been my choice if I didn't go Brembo.

If you are wanting to install an exhaust in the future, let me know. I know the tricks to the trade now after Nic and I's fiasco the other night.

**Quake5.0** · 08-09-2012, 08:10 PM

Welcome, and a that is a very nice mustang! Did you sell the 911?

Thanks, I will do that. Springs will be first on my list but I'm sure exhaust won't be too far behind.

Yes, unfortunately I did sell the 911...it really was a cool car, one of the most unique I've ever owned and a lot of fun to drive. However it ran it's course...I decided it was time to get into something a little more practical with some creature comforts (and much cheaper insurance!

).

**Grandpa** · 08-10-2012, 01:44 PM

Are you going to keep those wheels or get something else?

**jarheadtex** · 08-12-2012, 07:12 PM
