Took Delivery of Race Red GTPP

Took delivery of my GTPP w/ recaros, nav, reverse sensing, enhanced security. On 12/1 1 day sooner than cotus said and 3 days sooner than dealer was told. My wife,daughter, and I have been super sick all week or I might have had pics up before now. I have to say the recaros feel better than I imagined on a 150 mile trip we took. I'm 6'1" 240 lbs and recaros feel amazing.

Everyone loves the car even die hard Chevy guys I work with love it. I like to give test rides and take off slow and let them talk then lay into the throttle and all talking stops till I let off at about 110. Then there is this huge grin followed by how fast was that. I always say about 75 lol.

I hate that I have to turn advance trac off even when I put it in track mode. It just takes so long to do every time I start the car.

The pirellis had a horrible amount of wheel hop on my car especially in the rain and they weren't as crisp and confident in corners. I swapped to Bridgestone Potenza S0-4's and the wheel hop was almost completely removed on the same wet take off same day.
When it dried up the Bridgestones were a night and day difference as well.

Can't get pics to upload. Will have up asap

Congrats BAMF! Looking forward to those pics

Congrats man. Hot car.

Wow looks great, let's see more of those recaros! Would you recommend them for a daily driver?

Congrats on the ride. The GT looks very comfortable in that group.

:hail: Congrats!

I will take some pics of recaros tomorrow, but I gotta say they are very comfortable for me. Like I said I'm 6'1" and 240lbs with very broad shoulders. My wife is 5'4" and she has problems (when I launch the car unexpectedly) with the plastic holes for harnes pass through hit the back of her head if she isn't lined up directly in the center.

If my torso were any wider I might have issues with the side bolsters. As it is though they are perfect! I will try to update as I put more miles on them. Will do the same with the tires.

PS this is mine and my wife's daily driver. We have been sick all week and still managed just shy of 500 miles on it.

Yes it is.

the black car on left is a '12 Mercedes SL63 AMG

the far right is a '14 Jaguar XJR Supercharged

the black w/ racing stripe is '13 challenger SRT8

All 4 are specced pretty similarly as far as performance metrics are concerned performance per dollar the mustang wins hands down.

The Mercedes and Jaguar are both more than twice the cost of the mustang.

Nice pictures! I agree that the car looks very comfortable in that group.

Great looking car! I hope everyone is feeling better. I'd like to find out more about how you like the Recaros and how it is for access for the little one in the back seat. I have grandkids that ride with me and this was an issue with my Camaro and in a small part my Jeep Wrangler.

Enjoy the new Mustang!

The space in rear seat is limited I have a few photos showing space.

The good news is contrary to what everyone has said when you pull the handle in the upper part of the back of the seat it leans seat forward and goes back to the selected recline position it was in prior when done. It does not slide forward automatically, but my 3 year old daughter 40" tall can get in and out easily and sits comfortably, even with me sitting in front of her (I was comfortable too. Lol)

The recaros were very firm at first, but seem to have broken in and feel more like they are wrapping around me now that they have broken in a bit. I am loving them more and more each day.

To confirm the passenger does not have height adjust but my wife can see fine even at the stock height.

Nice.

Nice job on the pics too, good shot's of the Recaros.
Give me a nice sense of what they are like in person.

That paint looks good - in the side shot its hard to tell the diff b/w the Race Red and the CO in pics.

Enjoy :cheers:

i have the same recaro kids seat! can't wait to show my wife those pics so she'll believe me it'll fit!

Beautiful car my friend.
