New arrival (2015 Mustang GT) - Now with more pics and 2012 side-by-side comparo

So I finally pulled the trigger. 2015 Mustang GT Premium, 6-speed, Option package 401A (essentially premium sound and a few other bits), Guard Metallic, ebony leather, 20" wheels, Nav & security. Took delivery yesterday, but it was dark so not good for pics. Took some pics today at work as well. Once the weather gets a little better I'll get some actual nice, car-in-sunlight pics, but for now here are some iPhone photos. I intend to put the car on my hoist on Sunday and get some underside pics for those of you who are curious about the underside of the new Stang...

First, the night I brought it home. First night in the driveway with its roommate:

Kinda cheesy, but cool anyway - it shines a pony on the ground:

And sitting in the employee parking lot at work, after its first commute:

Brought it inside the shop at lunch time to take some more pics (and to show it off to the Honda boys). A 5.0 Mustang in a shop full of Hondas. Truly a wolf among sheep. Or, more appropriately, a Coyote among sheep.

And the cluster. Yes, that says "Ground speed". Cheesy, yes.

But it could be worse. This is the information display in a Civic SI. Nobody does cheesy quite like the ricers:

Nice. Beautiful car :D. Is it your daily driver? I'm hoping you're not going to ruin it in the salt ;).

That Coyote gets up and goes doesn't it?

No fear, this car will never see salt. It is my daily driver for summer, but will share that duty with the Pimp Sled (some days you feel like pimpin', some days you feel like racin'). My father's giving me one of those prefab plastic sheds (10X10) that I will be moving some of the  out of the garage to clear up the second bay for Mustang storage. This car will not be buried in snow like the Sled was!

And yes, that Coyote certainly does bark. I haven't really gotten on it yet because it's only got 200km on it (about 120 miles), but once it's broken in I shall thoroughly explore all 5 five liters of goodness...

I was hoping you weren't going to expose that car to the salt gods :).

You're car is pretty well broken in. I washiznitting 7000rpm in our '12 Mustang with 100 miles on the odometer ;).

Wow! Congrats!
Excellent color choice too!

Have you played with the cooled seats yet? A little early in the season to appreciate them yet. After having those, I don't think I can buy another car that doesn't have cooled seats.
