10 Truths about my GT

[QRK]

My satellite radio has never cut out on me, aside from few times I've sat in traffic under an overpass. Sounds like your issue may be specific to your car or antenna.

I even get reception when I back into my all cement garage.

OP, thanks for the free entertainment, this post literally made me laugh out loud! Gotta love black, wouldn't have it any other way!:headbonk::eyebulge::headbonk::eyebulge:

How do you like the Ceramic Pro? I am thinking about a coating to assist with dust, fingerprints etc on my DIB..

I have a black GT as well. It stays clean for maybe an hour after I wash it (If I'm lucky). Every time I shut the door U get fingerprints above the handle, with the fall leaves it gets covered with dust, every time it rains the water pools on the trunk and hood and leaves spots, I won't even mention the swirls and scratches, but overall I love the car. I spent a fortune on compounds, polishes, waxes, and other various things to keep the car looking good, it's a full time job.

Have you tried a California Duster?

Carplay would be awesome...:kickrock:

I never liked a white car until I saw the S550

pickup gearing works well in a car... now to find 4.11:1

4) I have gotten a lot more looks and compliments on the car than I would have imagined. When I owned a Vette, I would get the occasional quick second look and no one ever noticed my M3 when I had one. In this car, people have actually rolled their windows down at a light or stop me in the parking lot to talk to me, give a quick compliment or ask a question. It’s really great that the car starts conversations with fellow enthusiasts.

I found that the mustang crowd to be much more welcoming and friendly than any car group I've come across.

There has been countless times where random people walking by as I get in/out of my parked car, roll up at a red light, or even cruising alongside on the road that they try to talk about how nice the mustang looks and how they wish they had one / didn't sell theirs.

To be honest I get way more attention and complements driving this than my Mustang. It is a daily occurrence.

And when it comes to high performance cars Race Red is the only color to have. ;)

That's a tight little YJ right there. I've got an unmolested 06 Unlimited in mint condition 198k miles. Always fighting the temptation to mess with it. I think that's why I got the mustang so I would start jacking with the Wrangler.

So far I've been using Meguiars Ultimate synthetic Hard Wax once a month w/ pretty good results. It's pricy ($20-25) but easy to apply and wax off by hand and helps keeps water spots at bay.

I also invested some $$$ for a great foam sprayer from Chemical Guys and is been worth its weight in gold. It's been key getting the car lubricated before a wash mitt touches the car. Best investment ever.

Haven't had to dive into compounds and polishes yet.

Can I ask what exact model of foam sprayer you purchased? or do they just have one? I find chemical guys site confusing because the have way too may products....

#10: If you don't look back at your car after getting out, your in the wrong car.

P.s., I'd place DIB in for second best/worst color ever for all the same reasons....

After owning my car for a 1.5 years now I still look back/stare and drool looking at it as I walk away everytime.

TORQ Foam Blaster 6 to be used with a regular garden hose. (The one with the neon green cap). I bought the kit which seemed like the best value. For $80 you get the gun, 2 wash mitts, a towel, a gallon of wash and a small bottle of another wash (vs. $50 for just the foam gun by itself).

If you use a pressure washer, you would get the professional foam cannon. Truthfully prob not worth the effort IMO to set up a pressure washer each time you wash.

This thing is a real time saver and it foams like crazy (don't be cheap with the detergent) from a garden hose. I can wash my car in under 10 mins!

Number 4, wow, I had no idea this car would bring me this much attention. I came from a 2016 GTI, which is basically camouflaged with the rest of the commuter cars on the road. Driving in the Mustang at first was weird because I could see people looking at me (stock fishbowl with no tint). I've already had a few people ask me about my car when it was parked and give me compliments. And I have a V6! Ford nailed the styling on this thing..

I'm with you guys.

My WRX was nice, clean and looked somewhat sporty but I hardly ever had people talk to me about it or ask questions outside of car events. I literally can not go to a single place now that has a lot of people in and out without being asked questions, complemented or seeing people snap pictures of it. It's a whole different level. Most of the attention came after wheels and lowering it. It just makes the car look near exotic.

THanks for the reply!... I did buy a pressure washer with a built in soap container and a foam attachment for the end of the gun... haven't used it yet, but I am going to try it and see how big of a hassle it is.... if it's too much work I will opt to the foam cannon with the garden hose. thanks again!!

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.

My freakin vents rattle ever so slightly. It's just certain times, which I haven't determined yet, but the driver and passenger vents buzz and it really pisses me off. I think it started like two months into ownership.

My vents rattle too but I can't hear it over Pantera's "Cowboys from Hell"
