Test Drive: 2012 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 California Special

THIS IS AMAZING! This is one test drive that I thought I had lost forever, until it's recent discovery on an old memory card that I found stuffed in a corner of my camera bag! Enjoy the ride, and FEEL THE POWER! =)

For this test drive, we go out in the newly refined 2012 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 California Special, equipped with the newly developed 5.0L Ti-VCT 32v V8. The purpose of the drive is to demonstrate the new 5.0L V8 engine in varied road conditions, while discussing many of the features of both the exterior and interior that are included with the GT/CS package.

you can tell he is in Cali once you hear his voice... very nice car but shouldn't he be driving a pink convertible eclipse?

@jSwag47 Believe it or not, you're actually right. I was born in San Jose, California, but I moved to Texas in 1999 due to my dad's job.

GREAT TEST DRIVE!! I own a 2012 5.0 GT Premium with option package 5. GREAT car! FAST car. FUN car to drive, LOVE IT. I have added a BOSS 302 intake manifold, Airaid CAI, and a BAMA 93 race tune to my Mustang. Made a fast car even FASTER!!! If you are considering a new Mustang 5.0 you need to buy one. You WILL NOT be dissapointed.
