Now of course I know that the Shelby organization had precious little (nothing?) to do with the deveolopment of this car. But, to me, Shelby American in Vegas is still the spiritual motherland. So this weekend the wife and I decided to make the 5 hour drive, ok we made it in 3 1/2 hours...
I can't say how much I love my car! It's ab-so-lutely everything I wanted it to be. But, there are little things that pop up. I find myself envious of the RED badge on the front of the, "R". Especially because my car is SO RED. The stock badge is pretty invisible.
But, assuming I...
I have yet to engage launch control. I think I remember someone writing that it voids warranty? Seems crazy to put a feature on a car and say, "But, don't even think about using it." Does Launch necessarily engage line locks or does it just hold a set RPM for launch?
Who has used...
I can't believe there isn't a thread for this, but my search showed zip. So if you have one in your garage or if you have one on order, have you picked a name? I understand that some of you think that naming a car is stupid and further that you will feel compelled to tell us that... that's ok...
OK, so I haven't had the pleasure of driving a gt500, the 662 hp variant sounds like a lot of fun, in that, WTF have i just gotten myself into kind of way. And while I get that the GT350 isn't really about straight line zip, it's plenty fast for me. I've been happily surprised by straight...
I love my car. It's better than I expected and more capable than I could ever fully utilize. That said, a couple of tiny things which would be nice.
I would like more bass in the stereo. I'm not a drive down the road thumping kind of guy, but the bass is really really thin...
I got a call yesterday that my car would be ready to pick up at 2:00 today. I was at the dealership at 8:30 AM. The car was in the detail area and they were working away, doing what to me is clearly a good job. I wanted to sit down with the finance guy and get the paperwork out of...
So today I got a call from my salesman who gave me my vin!!! How can I use this to track my car's progress from scheduling, to production, to shipping, to delivery???
I know this has been more than touched upon, but I can't be the only one who would appreciate an organized listing of...
Am I to understand that if you track your car either road course or drag strip that Ford will likely look to void a significant portion of your warranty?
It blows my mind that a car that comes from the factory with something like a TRACK mode, might void it's warranty if used...
I stopped by my dealer yesterday to see how things are progressing and to do my periodic checkin. Build date 9-4-15 Yay team! They had a 2013 GT500 on the floor with less than 2k miles.
So, my wife asks me, "Do you just want to get this TODAY?" It's funny while 662 hp is really...
So I'm getting the gt350 with the tech package, as being a quality Arse Kicking Daily Driver is my primary concern. That said, I expect that I will make a sojourn or two to a track to experience and display to others the full mediocrity of my driving skills.
Given all of this, does...
Well many of us are lucky enough to have placed orders. I figure 4 days tops for Ford to get those built and another to ship them out. Clearly I'm dumb as a rock.
I know that Cadillac has started taking orders for the ats-v and are giving about an 8 week delivery window. NO WAY we...
So yesterday I stopped by my local Ford Dealership to take the 2015 for a test drive. I have had 8 Mustangs and have enjoyed EVEY single one. I enjoyed every aspect of the Mustangs (I sat in 2 and drove an Anniversary model) except that both I and my wife smelled a strong chemical smell...
Just saw release/tease video #3. Major Car Porn!
But, for me I'm some nervous about the emphasis on, "TRACK" I need a car that I can drive everyday in comfort. Unlike the Boss I want NAV and other comfort goodies that make it, "nice" to drive.
I'm really excited about the...
I just got my new Car and Driver Magazine today. The cover article was AMERICAN HEROS featured the tried and true Mustang vs Camaro vs Challenger. C&D had the Mustang winning handily.
The mustang hit the quarter in 13.0 vs 12.9 for the other two. The Stang did have a trap speed...
I go to the LA Autoshow every year. It's pretty impressive 3d car porn. Have there been any recent rumors about what we can expect at the show? It seems some were talking about a possible gt350 preview.. Any recent word on this?
Anything other rumors that we can look forward to.
Out of curiosity I called Huntington Beach Dodge yesterday and asked what the wait time and cost would be on a Charger Hellcat (4 doors would be nice). I was told 10k deposit and 20k over msrp.
Gazinga, they think these things are GOLD!
Well, we have a nice collection of Reviews (PREviews) and a better idea of what the mustang is and isn't.
Are you Excited or disappointed?
Does this make you more or less likely to buy the new Mustang?
Is anyone completely turned off?
For me, I don't track my car. I love taking an on...
