Sharp looking ride! I love the look of the black accents with the white paint, really looks sharp and adds eye catching contrast. I have a 2 week old white platinum GT and one of the things high on my priority list is to get a pair of those black hood vents. I'm trying my best to follow a 1K break-in plan similar to yours but I've gone over 6K RPM's a few times....I could not resist the temptation. I'll second adding the Steeda clutch spring as one of your first tweaks, I did mine on Tuesday, it's easy, inexpensive and a noticeable improvement.Greetings all ! My name is Chad and I'm the proud owner of a brand new 2017 Mustang GT Premium w/California Package. White is the color and the smile is wide on my face. I have been shopping around for a mid-life crisis since hitting the big 4-0 a couple years ago (currently 42) and figured that I'd return to my roots and bite the bullet and finally buy the car I've always wanted. I have zero disappointment so far and zero regret. My only other taste with "REAL" HP was a 2008 Charger that I owned (5.7L Hemi) that I mildly modified to my liking. That was all just practice though. I have lots of learning to do and lots of research to do in order to make her my own. First things first though: 1.) Going to take it easy(ish) on her for the first 1,000 miles). I'm varying speeds and types of driving and getting on her, briefly, every now and then to get those rings nice and seated. While I know there are many discussions about this, I think we all need to do it "our" way. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open eared, but I think that keeping the RPM's far, far away from 6,000 for the first 1,000 miles, being sure to limit extended runs at the same speed and being sure to warm her up before ANY driving will make for an experience that will hopefully last me until I'm ready for Midlife Crisis Software Version 2.0. 2.) Oil change at 1,000 miles. I'll be performing this myself and plan on using Mobile One full synthetic. Talk me off the ledge if there's something else I should be doing. 3.) Going to be in the market for a cold air intake. 4.) Any advice to something relatively easy to get a bit more of a throaty / noticeable exhaust tone without the possibility of ANY drone? Yes I want my cake and I want to eat it too... !
