  1. Anyone trade down from a GT to an Ecoboost?

    Now that everybody feels better after vindicating their purchase decisions on the internet based upon numerous variables dependent on the individual.... ...I'm really impressed with how well they handle in the snow.
  2. Anyone trade down from a GT to an Ecoboost?

    I've thought about trading for a WRX. Does that count?
  3. Winter driving

    Got about 9" in MI over the weekend. Very impressed with how well the Blizzaks handled. I felt more confident than with my wife's FWD Escape with all seasons. Side note: I've kept my fun car tucked away for the winter for 6 years...it felt so dirty to have to scrap my windows...but it felt...
  4. Winter driving

    Tried out my Blizzaks during the first accumulated snow fall the other day. I passed several spun out SUV's and never once felt uncomfortable.
  5. 20" wheel option / extras

    The 20" Foundry wheels should add the K-brace. When installing my Ford Racing strut tower brace, I did not need to install the included K-brace as it was already there. It also adds expensive tire options.
  6. BG Syncro Shift II from Optimum Performance

    I swapped to the BG trans. fluid this week. Shifting effort seems improved. The shifter seems to slide into gears with less effort...especially 5th and 6th gear which used to require a little muscle. Wasn't a dramatic change, but enough to notice the improvement. Seems well worth the $100...
  7. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    '05 Civic with manual everything. I will miss the fuel economy, but I truly enjoy driving my Mustang everyday. I have parked my last 3 "fun" cars for 5 months a year and have not seen any added value in keeping them tucked away. I guess I've never wished I had driven a car less, but always seem...
  8. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    Installed winter tires/wheels and sold my winter DD. As fun as maintaining 2 cars and parking my summer car for 5 months for the last 6 years has been, I'm ready to drive year round. :thumbsup:
  9. Ordered a 2017 GT, walked away once delivered...

    Mine had 800. Dealer trade. Got 3k more for my trade than any other dealership. Put 7000 miles on in a few months, so I knew the 800 miles was worth 3k in my pocket.
  10. I4 vs V6?

    When I was shopping for my '14, I was torn between the base V6 or GT (obviously no ecoboost then) With incentives, the V6 was around 20k while the GT was around 29k. The V6 was very engaging with the M6 and with me driving 18k miles a year, I'd be lying if I didn't consider the fuel savings as...
  11. Winter Tune

    I've had a winter car for 5 years. I now realize that having to use two cars sucks. Went out over black Friday and bought a second set of rims and Blizzaks for the winter. We shall see how they work. Had a set on my '00 GT and they were great.
  12. 15-17 owners, what will make you trade for an '18?

    I thought so too. Honestly, the cost to swap would be the price of admission to trade up to an '18...with the addition of an actual powertrain warranty, no miles, additional upgrades, etc. I'll probably just end up keeping my '16 unless the numbers really make sense.
  13. 15-17 owners, what will make you trade for an '18?

    If the MT-82 is replaced, I would likely consider upgrading. Yes, the MT-82 serves its purpose and seems to prove durable, but after driving Corvettes/Camaros/Challengers, the driving experience could be greatly enhanced.
  14. Who else has been rediculously low balled (trade value)?

    The MSRP of my '16 Premium was 40k, but I only paid 33600...this kind of drives down resale value. When looking at '16 Camaro's, I was quoted 25300 when my car was 3 months old and 4300 miles....also quoted 31k from a different dealer.....30k from CarMax. Honestly, for 25k sounds like a decent...
  15. 2018 Mustang Information (Options/Packages, Colors)

    Kona Blue, dual mode, and possible transmission changes... Guess I'll go re-enlist now...
  16. Camaro SS 20% but I said Nah

    I was on the fence about trading my '16 GT on a 2SS couple a few months back. I thought the materials in the Camaro's interior felt superior (the seats were much more comfortable), but I liked the layout of my GT premium much better. I also liked the dual mode exhaust and the quad tips looked...
  17. Windshield replacement

    I just paid 375 installed for my OEM windshield. Seems like I did okay, but I kind of wish I would have just bought aftermarket and saved 150 or so.
  18. EB or GT?

    You got 5200 off MSRP on a base GT, so you think it's only worth 18k now? I think you'll do okay on a trade if you really want the eco-boost. GT's hold their value quite well. I traded my base '14 GT with 22k miles for 24500 this year for my '16 Premium. Also got a quote for 31500 for my '16...
  19. Chevy offers $2000 to Mustang owners

    I guess so...I guess I'm used to car people that enjoy performance vehicles in general, not just the one they own. Yes, the Camaro/Corvette forms are just as bad. And it looks just as stupid. The psychological thing mentioned above is interesting...But I think it's kind of humorous that everyone...
