Well, I made the switch from a 2000 Corvette convertible to a 2015 GT. First off I'll say I'm not a GM fanboy. I truly appreciate all performance cars even though I've owned three Corvettes as my spring - summer - fall / nice days fun car.
My first few observations are these; I'm certainly enjoying the lack of plastic fantastic squeaks and rattles so far. I'm enjoying a night and day difference in shifter smoothness. There's no real discernible difference in performance, and that's a good thing. You can only understand the difference in seats if you've owned or sat in a C5 Corvette. Mustang wins the exhaust note battle every time. The body style of the 6th gen Mustang is truly beautiful.
The only issue I've had so far is this; the Mustang clutch made me look like a fool! For those of you that can modulate that clutch with the helper spring, I bow down in awe. I could not for the life of me take off from a start or the 1 - 2 shift without it being jerky. Mine = removed, and it's so much better.
For now, mine will remain stock except for a few cosmetic mods. No need to void any warranties for me. The hood vents are first. The acres of Orange hood need something to accent / break up the color. I've got Roush vents in now, but also have some black OEM take offs I'm contemplating putting in, can't decide what looks best. I'm not so sure the Roush vents even vent. The holes seem covered up.
Lastly, after lurking and reading many threads I'll say this. Compared to the Corvette Forum, this place seems refreshingly civil :clap2:
