Been here awhile...
Well not that exciting since it was a replacement for my 2010 4.6 which was declared a total loss and this is what they upgraded me to a no additional cost. Even paid for the window tint and clear front mask.
Even though this is an Rspec the suspension is defiantly improved. There is a rather large dip on section of road being repaired which I travel every day and the 4.6 would dive into it. The Rspec takes it like a champ, almost Mercedes like. The harshness of small bumps is on par with the 2010 and not harsher as some here lead to believe. I have not pushed it yet as I got it today but the 8 speed is smooth as silk, no way would I return to the 6 speed. I hear there is more lag in the 8 speed but I am not racing Shelbys at every corner so I really could not give a hoot.
The shift lever is more solid feeling in a very nice way. The flasher noise has been updated along with some funky chime music when you shut her down. The new colour dash interface is a big improvement as well as the backup camera which seems almost high def now.
Any how, got her debadged, rebadged in about 30 mins. Much easier the second time around.
Still waiting for my black Rspec caliper covers and they were supposed to install the mud flaps but apparently none are available yet for the 2012? Still need to detail her but here are some pics none the less.
