With another year in the books why not go back through 2011 and see what the most popular posts were here on Mustang Heaven. Some of the Most Popular Posts will be obvious while others might have you scratching your head but in the end the page views don’t lie. For the entire year I wrote 215 posts with some more popular than others and while most lists will include 10 I have included 12 posts, the last three were so close I had to include all of them.
My personal favorite for 2011 has to be number 4, its about a kid who took/stole a GT500 from a friends Dad and ends up hitting a deer. I still laugh every time I watch the video. Check out the entire list of most popular posts for 2011 below.

This was more popular than I ever thought it would be but than again I don’t write much about my personal life so I bet most people were curious to read a little about my past.
11. 2013 Shelby GT500 debuts with 650 horsepower and top speed of 200+ MPH
Thought this would have been a little higher on the list being it will be the most powerfull Mustang of all time.
10. ZL1 Chief Engineer Al Oppenheiser hits the Panic Button, fires off letter to Camaro fans

Very surprising one of my Sales posts made it on this list but than again it was the Third Lowest Sales Total Ever.
8. Leaked Photos of 2012 Shelby GT350 Coupe & Convertible to be Unveiled at Chicago Auto Show

This was my favorite post of 2011. Kid takes/steals friends Dad’s GT500, as they are driving his buddy’s are talking about hitting a dear, he than hits a deer. The drivers words of “The Mirror, OH GOD – OH MY GOD……” had me rolling on the floor. Watch it and you will understand.
3. 2012 Shelby GT500 ‘Super Snake’ with 800 HP to be unveiled at New York Auto Show
This post baffles me as to why it made number 3 on the list but I am sure it has something to do with being one of the first to post the news.
2. Slamming Beers and Showing off your new Laguna Seca Mustang don’t mix
