Hey All! Purchased a 2024 Mustang GT for my birthday a few weeks ago. Been a LONG time since I’ve driven a Mustang or a manual and I’m having so much fun. Just ordered a few cosmetic mods from RTR to dip my toes in before getting too serious. Looking forward to getting back in the car community and hopefully finding some locals to hang out with.

Greetings from Texas! I've been browsing the forum for a little bit and decided to sign up and say hello. Currently drive a 2018 370z sport with 13k miles on her. While I absolutely love the Z, I think not having a back seat caught up with me since I now have a little one at home.

A few weeks back, I saw a 24 GT in red on the road, and it caught my attention. This led me to look up the current gen, which led me to the forum. Funny enough, I floated the idea of "getting some American muscle" to my wife last week, and she actually paused to consider it, saying that at least those have a back seat.

So here we are! Signed up for the MCA last night, and furiously absorbing all the 'Stang info that I can. Always loved the car scene, so pretty excited to jump into this.

Lots of 2024 models in Texas. You can do a build on the 2024 Mustang builder. All you need is zip codes of major cities, and the search will give you dealerships and list of cars. I've searched a 50 mile radius of Waco and found a few for my family. You could save 4k to 7k getting a 2024. Just sold my 2024 6 speed with Whipple for 50K with only 2k miles. Got a Dark Horse Premium 2024 in its place used for a song and dance.

Love the color. Mine and my daughters favorite. So I got the same one for her. My daughters middle name is Sapphire, so she had to have a beautiful blue car.

Greetings from North Texas. Just pulled the trigger on a '25 GT Premium Coupe for my wife (At least that's what I told her!) Looking forward to spending the wait time for our build getting up to speed here.

Hey all! From Henderson, Nevada (yes, 20 minutes from the strip in Vegas) Just received my vin and estimated date of production on my 2025 vapor blue baby. Trading in the "people mover"(Explorer) for the "people pleaser". Should be strutting down the strip by July!
My last Mustang was my very first car. A beautiful blue '67 fastback with a 289. Did 12 second quarter miles back then. Now I'm just looking forward to feeling the road under me...HA, who am I kidding? This vapor blue still has balls. Can't wait!

Hi, everyone. After 15 great years of owning a 2002 Oxford White GT Premium 5-speed, I upgraded to a 2024 Dark Matter Grey GT Premium Coupe, 10-speed. What a great car to drive! Glad to be part of the 7G community!

Welcome to all the new owners.

For all of you with the darker colorus (especially the black one owned by @8LAKK8UNSHINE ) those are stunning looking rides....... until you reach the end of the driveway and have to wash it again! I miss black cars; I don't miss the washing every 2-3 days!

Just to introduce myself, I'm new here but have been in the market for a fun new car for a while. I last drove a Mustang in 2015 (a rental convertible with the 6 cylinder) when my wife and I honeymooned in California. I've had my eye on the new Mustang since early last year but hadn't had a chance to drive one until a couple of weeks ago. I rented a 2024 EcoBoost Premium for the weekend, and I was genuinely impressed with the performance and surprised by how good it sounded. I enjoyed driving it but was disappointed with not loving it as much as I expected to. I still need to drive a GT, which is really what I'm interested in, and I may feel differently about that. Anyway, I've been perusing this forum for a while and have enjoyed the insights I've gotten from reading everyone's contributions, so I finally got an account here.

Hello. Been trying to get a mustang sing I drove a buddy's in 1992. Always needed a truck and then later needing to haul kids. Empty nester now and finally able to get back into a sports car.

 

[8LAKK8UNSHINE]

Congrats! Enjoy it, these cars are a lot of fun.

Hello Everyone. I live in VA for now. I bought a 2024 Premium Dark Horse Mustang that is Blue Ember Metallic and I paid a little more to have them paint the striping versus having Vinyl that is almost guaranteed to crack somewhere down the line. This is my first new Mustang, but not my first Mustang. My first one was a black ‘02 Mustang V6 (sold), then I had a ‘95 Laser Red GT (totaled 6 days after completed restoration) , next is a ‘96 Shinoda Boss (rebuilding block & restore), and a ‘01 Bullitt (restore). It is not hard to see what style Mustang I am partial too.
I am Retired x2 (Army & Veteran Affairs). Luckily, my stable of Ponies are paid for in full and I have plenty of free time to work on them to take them to shows. I just put the quarter window louvers on yesterday and getting the rear window louvers soon. The next big purchase for the DH will be carbon fiber hood vented on two sides and a tempered glass center, just waiting on them to be made for the 7G. I look forward to talking things out and learning more about this amazing pony. (BTW I may have allegedly had her up to 175mph, maybe )

Beautiful. I haven't seen mine. Daughter knew I wanted one, so she found one with extremely low miles for 60K. Poor guy who owned could no longer drive. She then sold my Whippled GT 24 to a colleague. Can't wait to see it. Ember Blue is my favorite. Now her Grandpa wants one with an automatic. Wish I could get my Harley painted that color.
