  1. If You Could Do It Over Again

    On my 2016 I added the performance package. It was only $3000 in 2015. On the 19 the black out package provides 255-40-19's, you can actually change out a flat. I invested $2000 to upgrade (Steeda) the suspension. It handles incredibly well- and the 3:55 rear (with 6 speed) seems more...
  2. How many GTs are Owned by Seniors?

    61 seems like a lifetime ago. Welcome you're a youngster
  3. How many GTs are Owned by Seniors?

    I grew up with Triumphs (TR4, TR250 & TR6) still respected the straight line performance of Mustangs, Camaros and Challengers. Moved to a few Corvettes (65 327/300 69 427/390) later to a 71 GTO 400/4. Got married and had to go with sensible transportation for a few years.That lead to Beemers...
  4. Spare Tire Tale

    Be sure and check the air pressure occasionally..
  5. Spare Tire Tale

    You might want to consider adding a lightweight floor jack as well. For under $125 it simplifies the process when compared to the OEM equipment. You can find aluminum floor jacks just under 30lbs. Got to keep the weight down.
  6. How many GTs are Owned by Seniors?

    You may be. I thought early on I might be but the posts indicate otherwise. Enjoy that new ride!
  7. Spare Tire Tale

    Once you get the donut spare (was $400) be sure and check the tire pressure on occasion. In 4 months mine was down 25lbs.
  8. Recaro Seats not holding up too well.

    After 15 months/17,000 miles (I only weigh in at 188) the black leather driver seat in my 2016 looked very used. I did apply leather conditioner a few times - it didn't really matter. I'm not abusive with the interior components. As someone clearly indicated these cars are built with a focus...
  9. Talk me down from blowing a ton of cash on mods!

    Your second paragraph remains an accurate summary of the process and result.
  10. What's your current milage at?

    I'm embarrassed to admit it - 3600 miles on my 13 month old 2019. Retirement and Corona have had an impact.
  11. I love my car - and you should love yours

    If someone sat me down twenty years ago and explained that at 73 I'd be driving a 460 HP small block V8, 6 speed with 19" wheels, leather air conditioned seats, Sync 3, adjustable drive modes, active exhaust and decent reliability I would have laughed. Had a 1998 M3 back then. Sure it was fun...
  12. Active exhaust: yay or nay?

    Choice is a beautiful thing. I constantly adjust mine based on what sound I want and when.
  13. Car has felt "loose" since rim/tire change up.

    Hate to quote "cause and effect" but sometimes the unpredictable happens. I would assume the PS4S sneakers were the better choice but we all like tweaking our rides.
  14. It's getting old

    That too..
  15. It's getting old

    Just hit a year with my 19. Miles are low but no problems whatsoever. My 2016 was solid no issues after 20K. I sold it to a young man who has had his fun with it - he texted me that he has had no issues at 45K. IMHO it's part luck and driving style.
  16. How many GTs are Owned by Seniors?

    Nice ride. That color looks great with those wheels. Good luck with it.
  17. Muscle cars not to own

    71 Vega (my wife bought it - really)
  18. NJ owners - roll call!

    Bergen County here
  19. Senior input on purchase?

    Totally agree. I'm 73 6"2 189 and once your in the cockpit its very comfortable. Getting out requires pre planning and some flexibility. Its all worth it.
