That's my brother's 2012 GT up top, here are a few more from the same shoot and one from a fairly recent track day (the bronze plasti-dip has since been removed):

Before that, he owned a '95 GT which had a 5.0 for roughly half its life, and a bored 351W for the other:

I've owned two 94 GTs, neither of which were particularly nice, but both were a lot of fun and one photographed pretty well at least:

My family kind of has a thing for Mustangs, apparently. My mom's current DD is a 2013 Boss, which I've yet to get any decent shots of but hope to very soon.

Ha, both of my Mustangs have had the 5.0, but both were painfully slow for a "muscle" car. Solid engine that's fairly cheap/easy to make fast, but on its own it doesn't do much but use a lot of gas and make a nice rumble.

oh hey my bad, I never realized the early fourth gen's had the windsor. I always thought with the newer generation they put in the 4.6. It's cool that you had one, I've always wanted to build a fast fox myself but ended up getting a newer 07 gt. So what do you drive now?

Yeah, the 5.0 was in the 94-95 GTs, then they switched to the 4.6. The only real visual indicator is the tail lights; the 5.0s had horizontal lights, later ones had vertical. The horizontals looked much better imo, but for some reason a lot of SN95 guys swap them out for verticals. *shrug*

I'm driving a Civic for now. My fiance and I have been going through some pretty tough times financially, and a series of bad luck and poor decisions led to my latest Mustang being our only vehicle over the summer; we've got a 2 year old son and I've got an 80 mile round trip to work each day so the Mustang had to go. Once things are going better I'd love to get a 2011+ GT, but that won't be happening for quite a while.
