Back to the real thread.... a huge congrats to you Tom.

 

[Tomster]

Congrats Tom. Do you have an idea on MSRP on a “fully loaded/spec’d” car ? I’ve only seen the 325k number but wasn’t sure what options would be available

No idea. I sent the papers in on Friday. I hope to hear soon.

 

[Tomster]

I can't imagine paying so much for a car based on a v6 mustang LOL. id get a porsche gt3 rs.

LOL

Quote of the day.

Yes. Would be interested in how much you can build the car up and the different options/packages offered. Just know of the CF package.

 

[K4fxd]

My guess is not too many options.

 

[Tomster]

My plan is to check every box, of course weighing the affect on performance. We will see

So many other folks on our site have documented builds or events and they/participants did not succumb to personality differences, but rather were able to stay true to sharing events and details of the journey. Others have been welcome to share in those threads to learn and/or give productive helps, as in this thread. Those threads have generated great entertainment, great knowledge, and great camaraderie. You can tell by the way this thread started, such was the intent of this one.

Frankly, it would be nice to have a new thread started without all the emotional, negative bias.

If we want to be brutally honest, there have been MANY non-6G posts on this forum. Should we report and ban every one who includes information about non-Fords, non-Mustangs, and even Non-6G Mustangs? Are we no better than the politicians we detest that cannot speak to each other as civilized people? In a country as the U.S., we elect people like us. Let's be better than this you all.

The trend of this thread of late reminds me of an employee who when getting under the influence of alcohol, raked competitors over the coals on social media. The employee seemed fine until she got alcohol in her, and then the real her came out. Termination was the only correct action, as hate is not what we are about.

Maybe alcohol was the prompt for damaging a thread with great promise. IF so, I encourage getting help, lest more than a journal thread, this site, or something/somebody more dear to you is destroyed.

Regardless, @Tomster started a wonderful journal, and I am looking forward to a journal going forward, whether or not it is a different, untainted one. I can be (and am) happy for @Tomster even though I would love to have one but don't have the wherewithal. Thanks to @Tomster for sharing so we can enjoy the journey, albeit from a keyboard and screen.

Nuf said.

Very true and kind words. The only people who can clean this mess up are the offenders (by deleting their posts) or the moderators to do a cleanup on aisle 5.

I've asked for a cleanup by the mods, so maybe they thought it prudent to leave it all up to possibly discourage someone else from coming along and getting the same treatment and possible ban.

Anyway, I won't delete the thread and start a new one. If people think the comments were out of line, I suggest they hit the report button and make a comment. Usually that is what it takes to get action from the site moderators.

Again, thanks for the nice post.

Well said. Unfortunately this always happens to the good threads, there’s always at least one person that comes in ready to nuke the thread. I have no doubt that once Tom starts getting updates from Ford, this one will get back on track and be full of positive comments.

This is such a cool car and I (as I’m others are as well) am grateful that Tom and others are willing to share their journeys and experiences with us. That’s what the car community is all about, IMO.

Sorry your thread got derailed, Tom. It will be back on track in short order.

Updates on car ??? Would LOVE to own one, but NO way you drive it where I live. Roads are impossible and flooding. Hense the 2 Wildtrax Bronco's!

So this like higher up sports cars and its a build it your way car ???

 

[Biggsy]

Being that it is advertised as a track purpose car, one option I would like to see is a Titanium Roll Bar+Bucket Seat + 6pt harness option.

I think the car deserves a more track oriented seat that can be a mix between track and street but holds better than the regular seat I’ve see. I just feel like with the force pulling the body in the opposite direction in a turn they should offer some type of restraint and protection. Not trying to compare it to other manufacturers but Porsche and McLaren offer those which is pretty nice.

But that’s just me. Not like I got the allocation email or anything for my opinion to matter lol.

I hadn't looked but doesn't it come with a race type seat? The Shelby's do.
