...And assist me with the following information:
I will be, this week, purchasing a 2018 OR 2019 Mustang Coupe 10-speed Automatic, no if, ands, or buts about it. I am gunning for the Ecoboost with Performance Pack and either the 101A, 200A, or 200A (car must be new or used, preferably new but more on that below). I have my loan amount and down payment set (will be purchasing from dealerships, once they bend the knee), but I have a numbered set of questions and concerns that I would love answered to help guide me. Here it goes:
1. Assuming get either 2018/2019, are the equipment options much different from each other? A comfy interior and at LEAST Sync 3 with 9 speakers is a must (I like clear audio). I know the options I listed are 2019 (I saw the brochure), but I don't know which are on the 2018 specifically.
2. Do the 2018s have the selectable drive mode switches? Personally, if I can hold down a button for 5 seconds and shut advance trac/VSC off (like other cars), I don't mind not having it (or in the Lexus IS350/any Toyota, you can do a pedal dance that perma-disables all VSC/TC till you shut the engine off).
3. Ignoring the fact I want the Performance Pack, if I want to do chassis upgrades, suspension, tire, and the Ford Performance Tune, is all that possible on both years? I know the FPT is 2017-ish, and IIRC it does not void factory warranties if installed by the dealer/ASC certified etc.
4. I must get the 10-speed Auto (can't drive manual). However.. does that limit the performance stuff that can be done to the car later?
5. Is the gas mileage on the GT really terrible compared to the Ecoboost? Also - does the 10-speed Auto on the GT limit any aftermarket upgrades, if I were to go with it?
6. Assuming the car doesn't have Nav, is there any non-warranty voiding aftermarket NAV install capable, or is it just buy something and stick it to the car? I hate using the phone.
7. Can the stock Performance Pack wheels take Pilot Sport 4 tires or Pilot Super Sports (if I managed to find some)?
Maybe the real Mustang is the friends we make along the way UwU.
