Upgrading to a V8.
I am torn at the moment. I am getting an awesome trade on my 1lt/rs. I'll only have lost $1000 when all is said and so using the car for 10 months isn't too bad.
What scares me is the pricepoint between two similarly equipped 2012s. Yes, the 2SS/RS Camaro along with the GT Premium. I have comp'ed both cars through USAA with a guaranteed price of $30,805 for the 5.0 with leather 3.73 rear, HID's and leather. MSRP is $35,025 so ~$4200 off of sticker. While the 2SS/RS I want (well they dont have RJT and Crystal Red is still not available has a USAA guaranteed price of $36097 with MSRP of 38,080. So $1983 off of MSRP. All i want is the 2SS/RS with a short throw. I am wondering if anyone has finagled a price lower than the ~$36 2SS/RS

So if you can't get a better price than the Ford you're going to buy the Mustang?

Well the Ford is out of the question. I decided I could not pass up the HUD and etc. This car is going to be a daily driver I drive about 45 miles on average daily. I do plan on running the car until it dies.
I am currently driving myself nuts at the moment. I am debating 2011 vs 2012. A 2012 optioned the way I want is $36k as mentioned above, while I can get an 11 for about $32 with TTYL placing the final price at just under $35K. I know the 2012 gets a new tranny, new interior (no real pull for me) and I know the FE4 suspension on the 2012 is replacing the current FE3. If anybody has driven the FE3 and FE4 suspensions please chime in as it is the only thing holding me back between getting a 11 vs 12.

Well I decided. I am going to wait on a 2012 and go with Crystal Red Claret/Beige, SSRS, Short Throw and I'll be happy.

I think that's a good decision. I just traded my 2010 2SS coupe for a 2012 and the new suspension makes a huge difference in the way it drives and rides. Much, much better IMO. You'll love the short throw. I do.
