I traded in my 15 GT before my son was born. I drove an STi, SS, Stinger GT, Charger Scat Pack and a Fusion Sport. I comsidered an Accord but never drove one. Same with the Type R. I narrowed it down to the Charger and the STI. I ordered an STi but at the last moment I bought an Edge Sport...
We had a rental EcoBoost in HI with the 10R80. It was nowhere near as punchy as my GT at any RPM. However, I think it's all subjective. My first car was an SHO, I had 2 8th Gen Si's, and now this is my 3rd 5.0. I LOVE high revving normally aspirated cars. I've never really been a turbo guy even...
I agree with the consensus on this. Get the car fixed and either pursue buy-back or keep the car. When I was looking at used GT350s in a moment of weakness the cheapest ones were either 16 tech packs or had engine replacement/lemon/buy back on the CarFax. And there were plenty. While I wouldn't...
Yeah I get that and considered that myself. I had a 2k private offer that was expiring in May to stack on the deal I had already negotiated with the dealer. With that plus the 0% financing and the PP1 going up another 1k midyear I figured this was the best time to buy for me as it would be...
As a selfish recent buyer of a 20 I hope they don't give the 21 the Mach 1 front clip. However, I'm not sure how they can justify the cost of 3 different front ends for the GT, Mach, and GT500. The last Mach didn't have a different front end from the GT other than the splitter which makes sense...
To me Ford did a great job here with the Mach. They listened. Some of the main gripes I have read/heard about the GT have been the trans, the lack of coolers, the inability to get the 10 speed with the PP2, and the Cup 2s being the only tire available with the PP2. Basically the Bullitt wasn't...
I got talked into triple care ( Wheels/tires, dents, windshield) by the finance guy when I bought my first 2015. It was 479. The day after I bought the car I hit something in the road and my tire went flat almost immediately. Had the car towed to a Ford dealer and the tire replaced for free the...
My 15 5.0 had this sound after every oil change. This is the BBQ tick as I understand it. I used full synthetic oil and read a thread awhile back from another GT owner who wouldn't give up regarding the tick. In the thread a field engineer did indeed diagnose it as cavitation. The thread stated...
I really hope they go back to the single pipes for the GT. The quad pipes are kind of gimmicky and it bothers me how you can see exhaust flow more out of one tip instead of evenly which eventually leads to one tip with more carbon build up.
For a daily I'd go Golf R. When I had to get rid of my GT due to my son being born I drove an STi and actually ordered one but just couldn't go through with buying a car that was basically worse than my wife's Focus RS in every way other than back seat room. Drove a used one as well that rattled...
I also have been watching the prices and I would agree with thill444 in that now is just about the best time to act. Most dealers seem to be pricing the 19s in line but with the end of month and year around the corner I would imagine there is some room. Once the year clicks over the dealers are...
As the former owner of a 15 GT I LOVED (had to replace due to the birth of my son) I would go with the GT350 for the transmission alone. Not to mention the resale value and the track attack experience that is included. While you really can't go wrong the GT350 is special. I love normallly...
Thank you sir! I grew up with GSDs and always loved them. I wanted a dog that I could I knew would take my wife and our son as his responsibility when I wasn't around.
Also you may be right. I don't represent all milliennials and for whatever reason driving seems to be less and less of a...
As a millennial I am going to offer a slightly different perspective here. I have owned 11 cars since I turned 16 (currently 33) and 9 of the 11 were manual. I tried a DSG in my first GTI because it was faster and got bored. It was gone in a year. Now I have an Edge Sport because I am a new...
Has there been any reliable information regarding Ford continuing the GT350 beyond 2019? I have searched a bit and could have swore I read 2020 was locked in but now I can't find anything saying anything beyond 2019.
I am hoping that with the GT500 being auto only there would be a spot in the...
I feel like this may have been a combination of factors. 60 degrees isn't warm, some roads are slicker than others, and the tires. I once drove roughly 2 hours on 4/32 pirelli neros in a storm on the highway at roughly 70mph and the entire time my wife and I could feel the car slipping and...
As a guy who just traded in his Mustang for an Edge Sport because my wife is pregnant I am disappointed in myself. Also, as a guy who drives the incredibly practical, quick for what it is, and just plain nice Edge I agree with most everyone else that this is a bad move.
My first car was a...
