Welcome to the Forum. Very nice! Modification possibilities are endless for the Mustang. Make it yours!Pretty sure I got the last ‘22 GT Premium Convertible in AZ. Took a month to find one. This was a special order that the person didn’t want to wait for. Now I just have to remember how to drive a M6 again lol only stalled it once on the way home. Proud of myself on that one lol those chrome emblems are the first thing going.
Hello from KCMO! I picked up this 18 Royal Crimson GT Premium A10 (Pennsylvania car shipped here via CarMax) in March and just got it off the jackstands a few weeks ago after installing OPGs, fuel system and P1X. Suspension components in sig still to be installed. Last summer I had a C7 Z51 7sp with a D1 on 93/Meth but I have a toddler that wants to go cruising with me so I test drove the Mustang, Challenger and Camaro and ended up with the Mustang as it was best overall with room for a forward facing car seat. After I get the suspension components installed I don’t have many other plans for the car other than maybe a more open grille and slightly bigger spoiler but we all know how plans with race cars car! I’ve been reading over hundreds of posts here up to this point so thanks to all the members contributing and now it’s my turn!
Such a unique color and I love what you did with yours: the Shelby fenders, the caliper color, all of it!
Congrats! Doesn’t have to be modded, let’s see some pics!
it’s already been invaluable to me throughout the ordering process.
Congrats! Welcome aboard.Hey all! Full disclosure that this intro is long because I wanted somewhere to fully express my “fangirling” over these cars that I knew other folks would appreciate lol
I’m from Chicago but have been down in Georgia since graduating college. I’m currently a lady web developer in the aerospace industry and have my own little creative business on the side to keep me busy.
As a lifelong Civic owner who was raised in Civics and has driven one my entire adult life (little over 20 years), I fell head over heels in love with the Mustang last summer when the rental car company gave me the option to upgrade for free during my vacation since they ran out of plain-Jane, intermediate sedans lol
I ended up going out of my way to drive that car everywhere and anywhere through the Cascade mountains of Washington. Every time I approached her in the parking garage or after a long day of hiking, I was thrilled and had a massive smile on my face (my user image is of my rental at Mt. Rainier). I’m an avid road-tripper and have never experienced a car that legit made me feel like I was “part of the road” while driving through winding mountains with ease. I mean seriously — she felt so fixed to the ground and never wobbled if another car or truck went by. I have such an appreciation now for the engineering of these vehicles.
Giddy, as I nick-named her (because I no lie, said “holy crap giddy UP” out loud the first time I really hit the gas), was beyond good to me and always made me feel safe. I took this photo and often look back at it when I need to picture “my happy place.” This is it — a gorgeous day, open road, beautiful mountains, and my hand on the wheel of a Mustang!
After that wonderful 26 hour “test drive” in a 2018 Ecoboost, I knew for sure I was hooked and absolutely had to experience the GT at some point.
Fast forward one year and I finally secured said test drive just four weeks ago. I had to know if an Ecoboost made more sense for me or if a GT really was worth the extra price and hype. Did I truly need a V8 engine?
The dealer and I drove around for 40 minutes and I can definitively say: yes. For me, the sound of the exhaust was such a unique and distinct reminder of the power under the hood and, subsequently, my foot. The GT was good to me and handled my “driving style” without question — I describe myself as an “aggressively defensive” driver; meaning I like to get away from idiots in traffic ASAP lol. I was sold and absolutely understand the difference between the two trims, but I’ll always have a soft spot for my humble Ecoboost rental, Giddy.
I am happy to say I will soon join your ranks with a lovely 2022 Grabber Blue mare within the Ford stables later this Fall! Her name will be “B.B.” and license plate will be WTNSSME (if you get it, you get it
Her details: GT Premium, Grabber Blue, PP1, 401A (midnight blue w/grabber blue stitch), B&O upgrade, A10, magneride, active valve exhaust.
I have a few initial mods already planned: window tint, partial PPF (mainly the front end), ceramic coating, and swapping the quarter windows for the Hyperformance louvered glass.
I also plan to sign up for high performance driver’s education next year so I can learn more about my car and how to “wield her power responsibly” after a lifetime of Civic ownership. Hitting the track would also be super fun so I can really let her stretch her legs in an appropriate environment surrounded by like-minded people!
I look forward to sharing photos later this year after she arrives and appreciate the knowledge you all share here.
