I hear ya, I think my deal is the exception rather than the norm. Negotiating didn't start until Dec 31st. It is all about the day. I think the values for 2019s will hold up...not sure about earlier models with the gen 1 engines though.
I’m a brand new R owner too so I appreciate this thread. I didn’t even know about the camber plates or adjustable struts. My dealer just patted me on the back and told me to enjoy lol. I did find the spacers in the center console and there is a box in the trunk with the car cover but will check...
Thankyou...er Chiefdork, you make some very good points. In your opinion do you believe those who do not follow the correct break in procedure are the ones who have the excessive oil consumption issue?
“...but there are way more incendiary topics to start a shitstorm here...“

Break in period:
Basic Mustang: 1000mi
GT350 Mustang: 100mi then 1000mi
Vary your speed frequently through 1000mi
Basic Mustang: yes
GT350 Mustang: yes
Intermittent Wide Open Throttle Conditions:
Basic Mustang: not mentioned but implied...
Yes, maybe a sticky for new members? My dealer told me to not rev it above 3000rpms for the first 1000miles. Which is wrong, but if the dealers are unclear...???
Credit to mhr1961 on the teamshelby forum for this well laid out explanation. Sorry if this has been beaten to death in a lot of other threads but the more I read the more I see people NOT taking notice of the supplement manual for our engines and keep referring to the break in procedure for the...
My wife has yet to drive the Mustang but I am sure she will become a believer! I was very close to pulling the trigger on a $90k+ new model 911 before I even knew such a beast as the GT350 even existed. My wallet is very happy switched over:-)
