Ive had my GT for 2 years. It is a wknd car so I’ve only got 10,000 miles, but in that 10,000 miles it’s been nearly flawless. No trips to dealer. Fit and finish while not perfect is still as good as any other mass produced car I’ve seen. MT82 works well. Overall very happy with the car.
I changed the trans fluid with BG at 8400 miles as well as the rear diff with Amsoil Severe Gear 75w110.
Car has never been to the track but it gets beat on pretty often on the street. It hasn’t complained. No BBQ tick.
Still on the factory 235 Pirellis. I suspect they have at least 5,000 miles left. I’m anxious to see how the Michelin AS3’s I plan on swapping them for will make the car feel.
It’s not a performance pack so the car can definitely feel a little soft when being pushed and the Pirellis like to slide a little. That being said the car still feels good and handles well IMO.
I recently drove my girlfriends dads 03 C5 convertible with manual trans. Car has 56k on it. It’s well maintained. Not a fair comparison being such an older car but people talk about the lack of low end torque in the Coyote. I expected the larger LS1 to have more low end but I couldn’t feel it. My heavier base GT felt more athletic all around from power to chassis.
I also recently drove my friends 17 ZL1 Manual. Very nice car but I still prefer the stang over it. My expectations may have been high with all the extra power it has but I just didn’t feel all that extra kick. I only put about 8 miles on it. I suspect I need a lot more time to really appreciate it but the Mustang as a whole just feels good to me.
