All you did was convince me that this is the car for me! Your complaints are rather negligible, honestly.

No offense to s550 owners, but the 11-12 5.0 actually looks like a Mustang. S550 has aston martin fusion hybrid front end. Looks to eurotrash to me. S550 2018-19 rear end looks great though. But the 11-12 IS BEST BANG FOR BUCK. Take your Gen 1 shortblock and forge it, then add Gen 2 heads and cams plus a Roush or whipple on e85, and you have 800wheel solid axle practically indestructible monster good for 9's and last 150k miles. Sorry i am partial to 11-12 5.0. But it still looks like a mustang man👍

I actually dont mind the cup holder position, i can rest my arm on the cup while shifting lol

I drive a jeep wrangler. I'd love to have the "terrible" fuel economy of a mustang

I just bought a 2011 mustang 5.0. and I love it man!!!!!!!!!!

This is my favorite gen of the s197....when I was out trying to get one, but prices were so high, I was better off getting my 2016 GT for so close of a price....still hoping to get one while still owning my s550

I love my newly acquired 11gt standard. Have brembos, and 3.55s out back. Hate cup holder but usually carry 16 oz Dew bottles so I deal with it. Have beige cloth manual seats and they seem to keep me in place better than my previous toy. (67 2dr. post chevyll bench seat with floor mounted Hurst shifter😂 My only real issue is that after attending a Ford Takeover in Jackson,TN 1/8th mile, my stupid airbag light came on and has stayed.🤬 It only has 17K miles but way out of warranty 😢 Any quick fix suggestions out there? Thanks 👍

man i definitely feel you on the ride height......... I a have a 2012 with the brembo and if feels like im in a truck

I have owned several fox and sn95 cars over the years the "issues" people have with these newer stangs aren't an issue at all for me. the interior is plenty nice for what it is. the trans is fine with an upgraded clutch (most of the problem) and proper shifter upgrades. the tranny itself has been known to take 600+ wheel hp no problem that is way more than the older trans were capable of so to me it isn't that bad of a trans...the issues lie in the stock clutch and shifter. I'm gonna get one of these when I pay my fiesta st off in a couple years the st will continue to be my main daily the stang will be my fun warm weather car I love these coyotes. I want 11-14 prefer 13-14 but 11-12 are almost as nice to me and can usually be had cheaper so we shall see. the ideal one I want is a 13-14 track pack premium coupe. I love the color on this one in your video it looks awesome. I'm gonna run a 17x7/15x10 forgestar drag wheel setup on mine you can shed a ton of weight, it looks awesome imo and it obviously helps alot with traction and launching not to mention tires for this setup is way cheaper than 18-20 inch wheels

With the GT premium you could’ve got the custom leather option, it does make the seats and door panels look better.

S197 front end is bad fcking ass. Looks like eleanor and looks pissed off . Blows s550 front end away

Where do you want the cup holders to be? Lmao

I have a 2012 and honestly am surprised you didnt say how bad the transmission sucks!

The snow chains are a must you never know where you're going to wind up what job you're going to have can't always have multiple cars

Totally agree...

Dude, all S197s have cupholders behind the shifter. All you do is put the cup in the furthest one back toward the rear seats if the cup is in the way lol. Also I don't have those brake problems, might want to have a shop take a look at it.

We have the same color and year 5ohhh Nice whip #StangNation

My 13 gt pp is daily driven and sees New England snow every winter, drives better than any other car that does not have snow tires, no chains even needed, not even in 6 inches of snow. All around great car. But the cup holder to me is the most annoying thing!

Yup. Cup holders are annoying. Seat motors are trash. One of the motors went out few years ago in my seat so now seat cushion does not raise up or down in the rear section. I guess the main thing I don’t really like about 11-14 is how unsupportive seats are. There is literally 0 bolstering on sides and when cornering its a slide show. I have TMI seat covers with new seat foam and it’s pretty much same result. Recaros are the way to go, but impossible to find and when you do find the price will be absurd.

Thank you!

Base model, non-GT Mustangs typically do not have power seats. The driver’s seat motor failed on my 1995 GT, so I replaced it with manual seat rails in place of the power assembly. On the newer Mustangs, do the base cars still have manual seats? I was happy to lose the failure-prone power apparatus on my 1995.

For your brake paddle going to low when trying to BREAK it could be your pump that runs to that pedal maybe upgrade it might get better

“Taking corners” right buddy ok as in that group of people right over there

I think this is the best year Mustang. It sounds a bit better than the 13 and 14 and honestly some people might hate on these cars but try daily driving a 2002 2 valve GT and then come back to one of these and you'll see why these cars are still so amazing, so honestly I think you're just being overly picky because I happen to love everything about those Mustangs. They are not filled with technology and in my opinion they have the perfect mix of modern and classic. The 11 to 12 Mustang GT is my dream car and I cannot wait to own one.

Flag is cool bro👍

ive never related more to the cup issue

I have the premium GT and my came with brembos and navigation I added 4:10 gears and Mbrp exhaust with cat delete with a chip and air aid intake that thing untouchable out here and sounds good I’m having wheel spin if I get on it to hard

Complaining about fuel econemy on a mustang that makes sense you want 400 hp and what 25 miles to the gallon

2011 was the last good year.. more balanced than my bmw at the road track. Premium kona blue with beige leather seats, sunroof, brembo brakes, nav.. FULLY loaded... I remember after I ordered it, I had to wait 3 months to get it when they first came out.... longest 3 months of my life! I think it was 40k out the door then? now it's like 50 or 60 for a mustang fully loaded. Do they have the sunroofs anymore? it makes the car complete.

First off old men be driven wit coffee in car so you're good if you're not old. Second you can get an automatic if you have issues with having coffee cup in there lmao.

I hate the cup holder placement. The fog light, stock headlights and tail lights lmao I prefer the 13-14 head/tail lights. I swapped my with after market lights

Still like my 2011 GT, but yes, the seat switch on passenger side went intermittent, sometimes works, sometimes does not. WTH, it is hardly ever used and it stops working.

Bro go drive a prius. Who gives a fck about cupholder. I use it for my sunglasses anyways. My 2011 600wheel 91 octane pump gas daily roush tvs is all business. Dont give a rats ass about interior comforts and heated seats...etc..My car is set up for drag racing and i drive it daily. Its pure muscle car. I am all about performance. But my cars exterior is well maintained cause i still wanna look good in a fast car... These 11-12 cars are practically bulletproof to 650wheel gen 1 coyote. Now if you want 800 wheel you need to forge your gen 1 shortblock and add gen 2 heads and cams, plus more than likely toss mt82 and add magnum t56 and Eaton trutrac in rear. Then you have bulletproof 800wheel street drag car that will last forever. Ford made these 11-11-12 cars tough as fcking nails man.

7:09 like any good relationship 😂😂

4:17 Don't wanna be that guy, but couldn't this be the brake lines themselves? Or something else in the brake system? I have new braided stainless steel lines, drilled and slotted rotors with 4 piston calipers from Powerstop and they feel perfect.

Won't get bad fuel economy if you let off the pedal lol, I get 21 to the gallon in my 2010

Nice vid. Do you still have the car?

what about disconnecting that skip shift solenoid connector under the car.

bro i swear all mustang owners are the same person lmao

I have 2013 gt i like it yea i guess i suck got auto trans with stall conv. Yea. Hate shifting in houston traffic 😆

Well my 2v broke is it worth it getting 11 to 12 5.0 ?

Wish. Had this car 😭😭

Great Car but there is little room for leg movement .and I'm a average sized man and I had a problem snapping my seat belt in .If there was more room for your legs .I definitely would of purchased a 2010 mustang yesterday ..

At least my 2011 Mustang got cupholders. My BMW e61 don’t. 😅

Fox owners: "What are cup holders?"

Camaros have the same cup holder design. I guess they couldn’t think of a better way.

Eibach pro kit👍

Gen 1 good to 650wheel. Gen 2 good to 750wheel. That is if you want 150k miles.

Can we just have a counter on the um?💀

Snow chains are a legal requirement in the United States that’s why they engineered it around that

Are these cars automatic or manual transmission?

Have u ever owned another mustang? There all the same bro. I got a 98 gt right now totally kicks ass but got all the same issues u just said on a 2012🤔

I have a sn95 but i really really want a s197 '14 preferably.

Is that the 4.6 or the 5.0 ?

My cammed fbo gto was getting 12 mpg when I was driving like a granny so be happpy your not 12mpg so be happy I you can still drive fun and get better gas milage than that

You need to lower it for sure, its a must Eibach makes some nice springs that lowered mine almost 2 inches. Sure there's not alot of suspension in the rear because of it. But still worth it

Is it straight piped?

What is the color called of this car?😍

Tell me the perfect car and why you dont own it. Like tell what perfect is

Bro does your 11-12 5.0 burn oil. My 11 roush tvs 5.0 burns a quart every 400miles. But i drive like nascar daily. My shop said they all burn oil, and more on blower cars. Oil is sucked through pcv system big time he said. This car is best bang for buck.

Wheels??

Mustang is basically Ford's Corolla instead of Toyota's reliability it bets on big engine and loud sound

I have 2010 gt. Looks same interior

You need brembos bro

You should have customized the car while at the dealer to YOUR liking, they have that option. You're just complaining about cosmetic details and nothing to do with performance. This is why aftermarkets parts exist and are available for everyone's needs, some they just like stock models. You just got another Thumb Down

why even make this video. hes really complaining about the cup holder position lmfao

My shit hard af rn onG

Its unacceptable

Cry baby

10-12 are the ugliest s197 years, so much cheap unpainted crap. Might aswell get a 05-09 for the classic look or a 13-14 für the best looking mustang since the 60's

I have the same car currently sitting at 140 thousand miles, and my seat motor has never gone out once. Just FYI Seems like you had some bad luck there
