10 Truths about my GT

[Hashbrownn]

10) The internet meme's about owning a Mustang get old. And all your friends and family will think they're funny tagging you in each one they find.

I just tell them that my Mustang does not discriminate, so they need to get the hell out of my way, when they see me driving.

You don't interact with friends or family on the internet?

No, I interact with them in person.

Pretty much these things, yeah! I'm disappointed in the fit and finish; I'm constantly battling interior buzzes and rattles (with stock tires, suspension, and exhaust), and that drives me crazy.

Still, though, it's fun to drive and it *feels* special.

Also, because of the "Mustangs eat crowds" thing, sometimes when I'm leaving a car show I'll rev the engine aggressively at the light/exit and wait for a bunch of cell phones to come out -- and then slide it carefully into first and accelerate and shift smoothly up to the speed limit and just drive away like a grandma.

I wish I would have waited until 2017 to get a Lightening Blue GT.

I also wish I would have known that the PP cars came with more than just upgraded brakes and 3.73 gears or I would have bought a PP car (Even though I plan to boost and 3.31 gears are optimal)

My optimal car would be a 2017 PP premium with black wheels and black/red interior... Oh well, I like my 2016 Oxford with 20" forgery wheels.

#10 should be a comment about the sloppy ass shifter and #11 should be about the POS clutch Ford sold us with a fantastic car.

Of course you auto guys don't need #'s 10 & 11 on your list.

And hey, quit arguing about colors. They're like BJ's. All are good, some just different than others.

1. Climate control is not comfortable, unsophisticated. Very often blows too cold air.
2. Traction control is useless, basically non-functioning. Accelerating in a turn when it's wet is dangerous.
3. Paint seems very thin. I've got several ugly chips in the paint.
4. Pirelli P Zero tires are very slippery when cold. Wheelspin in 3rd gear on dry tarmac.

I love the car though

The electronic nannies on this car are *far* from useless. Turn each of them off and then go WOT all through town, making a lot of hard turns. The before and after difference is obvious.

Yea, the Pirellis are crummy tires and the paint is way thinner than I expected it to be. Blame the gubment on that though.

I went back and forth about the PP myself, until I drive one of each and decided for the majority of the driving that i do it was not worth it. The brakes are great, but often way too sensitive during in town driving and for me the suspension was just too stiff. I will eventually add eibach sport lowering springs, but still keep a more comfortable ride... If someone is going to track the car or use it for high intensity driving fun on weekends the PP is the way to go....

I actually don't have issues with Sirius cutting out all the time and I'm in North Jersey (trees n shit). I will lose a signal for a second or two in really thick wooded areas but generally speaking its fine.

Also, as much as I love black on these cars (and most), I got white because it hides almost everything. I know my car has light swirling, but unless my nose is in the paint, I can't see it. Out of sight = out of mind!

The black is beastly on the S550 but not only is there a dust problem but fingerprints get everywhere.

I don't know how she gets so many fingerprints on the damn thing. The other day we park at a restaurant and when she goes to close the door she just plants her hand right on the C pillar while she pushes the door closed. I was like "seriously? you needed support to close the door?" Then she just grumbles "you and your first world problems". So I'm getting her gloves for christmas.

Black is IMO the best looking color for our cars......right after a wash.

I got so much micro-scratches on my car that I'm just learning to accept it and move on.

But if I had to go back in time, I woulda got blue, metallic, or white instead.

 

[snake bite]

Love everything about my Mustang and love BLACK

Red 16 GT here (Roush 1 kit)

Couldn't get PP; had to have an automatic due to trashed knees.

Didn't get Nav so I stick my Note up in the windshield so I can see where I need to go.

Constant compliments (Ruby Red) hate the small gas tank. Also hate the seat belts.

Great car. I look back on my 69 Mach 1 days and wonder how I ever drove one compared to this.

 

[airfuel]

I have to choose between black or guard metallic with 18 inch foundry wheels. (That combo is cool!) tough choice!
