Have you run a Carfax on your car? It's not going to tell you exactly what you want but it may show shops that did work to the car and that might give you some clues. Sonny

Depending on where you're located, you might be able to rent a C8 on turo.com for a day or two. It would be expensive but that'd be the best way to get a super thorough test drive to answer any and all questions you have. Sonny

Solid point. I've been researching what's involved to do the upgrade. It looks pretty straightforward but it requires a lot of stuff to be taken apart and I don't think he'd want to do that. So, phone mount + Waze on phone could be an option. Thanks, Sonny

For those interested, the cars we drove were: 2023 Mustang GT 2017 Camaro 2SS 1LE 2021 Mustang Mach 1 with handling package (base interior) 2019 Volkswagen Golf R 2022 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack 2022 Mustang GT Premium 2019 BMW M2 2021 Camaro 1SS 1LE 2016 Corvette Z51 Stingray 2019 Mustang GT...

On June 1st, I bought a black 2019 Bullitt. The cooler part of the story is that for the ~3 months prior, my Dad (a 72 year old retired Vietnam Veteran) and I rented cars on turo.com, test drove all types of cars, and in general drove my wife and my mom crazy. As my Dad has gotten older...

@DFB5.0 -- that is a fantastic write-up. Thanks! It looks like you do this as a job or hobby? How often do you use a foam cannon/pressure washer inside an engine bay? What's your criteria for determining whether or not it is safe to do? Sonny

Interesting. 🤔 I did notice that throughout the whole scene, there is a lot of emphasis on the engine noise of the Mustang but you don't hear it that much with the Charger. I don't know enough about those cars to compare but I can see that the Charger was available with engines ranging from...

I switched from a 2018 Volkswagen Golf R. It was a Stage 2 E85 tune and it was crazy fast. The DSG transmission is amazing but I got really bored with it and worried about the longevity of it given its state of tune. My Bullitt is slower (for now) but the V8 roar and 6MT are so much more fun...

I love that jet fighter gray but why'd you switch Mach 1s so soon? Don't say because of black paint. lol (My car is black). Sonny

This is a shorter version of the full chase, but the color is much better. Some things I notice every time: 1. The green is awesome 2. The engine sounds amazing 3. The Charger is a land yacht now and it was back then, too! 4. The green Bug keeps reappearing 5. The suspension abuse...yikes! 😳...

Thanks, man. I think it'll be fine with the original valve cover to TB hose. I'm over this. I've had this car for 11 days and have been constantly stressed/pissed off about the whole situation and given the uncertainty, I've barely driven the car. I was making mistakes at work, losing...

Yes. My car is ineligible for a return because the Gold program only offers that if there is no lien on the car. Since I financed part of it, this is not an option. I didn't catch that in the fine print. Concerns addressed, warranty in tact, great deal on the car, and the car it self is...

I escalated to the president and we've reached an acceptable conclusion. The dealership will be paying me for the cost of OEM lights. I'm very happy with the outcome and am looking forward to enjoying this car. Thank you all for feedback. Sonny

@cerbomark -- The car is indeed Gold Certified. The lights are not aftermarket but they have been modified to make the DRL tri bars into a turn signals. Because of that, Ford will not warranty them. They were not resealed properly so one the driver side, I have severe condensation and 1 dead...

Nope. 7 calls in the last 3 days. The general manager hasn't returned a single one. First it was they'd pick the car up on Thursday and then it got moved to Friday morning. I called on Friday at lunch time. The sales staff had no idea what I was talking about and he was conveniently out...

Now they're dragging their feet and coming up with excuses regarding the buy back. I'm tired of this s**t. Opened a case with Ford Corporate.

The car is scheduled to be picked up tomorrow. The general manager called and offered to install these for free if I'd keep the car. I do like the look of them but not sure about quality. I had schedule a 2 stage paint correction + ceramic coating in 2 weeks. I think they could do the...

I do and the cost would be similar but I'd lose those performance pack, magneride, and upgraded interior goodies (it's a group 400a). Not really willing to give up those things. That's one of the things I love about the Bullitt. You get all of that stuff (magneride is an option) without...

After a long time with the general manager, they have agreed to cancel the sale, refund my money, and pick the car up tomorrow. He said Ford wouldn't warranty the lights given that they've been modified so the only option would be for them to replace them at huge cost, or I could replace them...

Yep, I should have refused delivery. I was so damn excited to get the car though and they said they'd fix it.
