Brandon Ford. The car was there for only a few hours for dealer training or so I'm told. No dealership employees were even allowed to drive it. A good friend of mine works there and told me a few weeks back it would be coming and he'd let me know when it showed up. He texted me some pics...
I'll add that this same car was at a Chik-Fil-A yesterday in Clermont FL. A buddy of mine sends me a text with 2 pics of it in the parking log. Apparently it was driven from Detroit (duh) on a long road trip test I guess.
I also just got back from Brandon Ford. Gotta say this thing is a lot lower slung than I expected. The tire-to-wheel well gap is impressive for a factory stance. This particular car was the EB4 with no Track Pack. I'm sold on the exterior/interior 100%. Next phase is the drive in a few...
That would be nice wouldn't it? It would at least take off some rotational mass the engine has to deal with. But then again - not to nitpick but Ford hasn't put a real working oil pressure gauge in the Mustang in a very very long time. By "real working OP gauge" I mean one that pegs at start...
Word. Plus if you were to buy a small cosmetic item (power port plug) made of aluminum, they charge $10 to ship it rather than stick it in a padded envelope with a few stamps. No thanks.
OK I'm a simpleton and really have a hard time making sense of these different combos. I'd be eternally appreciative if someone could cobble together the price for each of the following:
EcoBoost:
Magnet
Brembos
3.55 gears
Leather Recaros
Upgraded radio but not the top of the line one
Spoiler...
How about a Magnetic coupe, no rear spoiler, tinted windows and slightly lowered with these wheels?

Exactly - that $10K difference is a deal killer pure and simple. However, the heart can over rule the mind. One test drive in a GT and I could be done for LOL:headbonk:
It's a definite maybe LOL Why, in no particular order:
1. Price - it would most likely sticker at about the same price my premium '05 GT did, around $28500 or so. At my age I cannot justify a GT at nearly $40K with the options I'd want. I'm 48 and the payment for a GT would be stupid even...
I concur, that's why mine has the Scott Drake smooth brushed aluminum cover over it, with black allen bolt heads around the perimeter and a Ford Racing raised decal in the middle :)
