Well technically it was yesterday but I didn't get home until midnight. Traded my 15 gt premium 6spd for 18 gt premium pp1 6spd. Amazing car so far. Though I will miss the easy out seat function.
Transmission feels so much smoother than the 15. It's like butter. I'll probably still do a short throw shifter anyway and replace fluids.
I haven't kept up with the clutch for 18s and up but the spring has no resistance at all. Feels funny. Is that how the 15-17 were too? I can't recall bc the steeda spring was one of my first mods on the 15.
I swear this thing doesn't feel faster but it is. It actually feels slower. Until I look at speedometer and go, oh shit. Car feels planted but still more compliant than my old one going over bumps etc.
Handling so far from the little I've done is crazy different which is to be expected. Corners I've taken at 45 or so and were very noticeable, are almost like no big thing in this car.
Driving from Dallas to south of San Antonio last night on i35 and 130 toll road I averaged 26.8 mpg. Same route on way up in the 15 and it was drastically less. Yes, I know, it's a mustang who cares about gas mileage. Full disclosure I only drove about 82 to 83, instead of posted 85, as I found that to be the sweet spot to maintain gas mileage. There was 0 traffic last night so it wasn't an issue.
One question though, I don't have the key for the wheel locks. Can I buy the key from Ford or are they all actually different?
