You have any experience with the service department at your dealer? You mind telling me what the exact quote was? Alpharetta, Ga isn’t too bad a drive for us and the wife loves going to Atlanta, so it wouldn’t take much taking her into the trip. Lol

Inching up on 45 myself. The vert was a blast tooling around the waterfront area near Baytown (suburb of Houston.) Its so hot during the day you can’t put the top down but night is awesome. Theres a huge suspension bridge over the bay that is lit up at night, and that’s almost surreal driving...

I think a lot of Mustang owners ride. There’s something about the two that just go together. Both the wife and I ride. Every time we go out, some retard tries hard to kill us, but no wrecks yet. Just took a ride today, and I’m still wowed by the power of even an old bike like mine, 03 1200...

I have hertz to thank for spending a hell of a lot of money. Wife flew in to Houston to meet me at the end of job in June. When I booked her rental, I saw it was only a couple hundred bucks more to get a 19 Mustang GT vert over a mid size car for 10 days, so I said what the hell. Wife had a vert...

If it came to that, I’d just do it myself and have the gear ratio fixed in a tune. I’m more than capable of doing it myself and even have an air conditioned garage to work in. The point is not losing the warranty on a new car, and the only way that can happen is at a dealer. I know there has to...

Been doing a lot of reading about trying to get off the line stronger and I think I want to try a gear swap first before getting into warranty voiding mods like a tune, converter swap, or FI. I’m in the central Ky area and dealers around here are less than competent. Had nothing but botched work...

Had a 2012 401a 3.73 6MT coupe. Sold it to buy the 18 A10 vert for the wife. I know in every quantifiable way, the 18 is a better faster car, but I don’t love driving it like the 2012. There is no drama. The 18 is fast but doesn’t feel that fast somehow. The 12 was always trying to kill me, and...

The glove box scratches if you look at it wrong. Our 2018 was a demo and I think the dealer owner who drove it used the glove box as a cockfight stage. Lol There is no fixing it with a heat gun either like you can do with other trim plastic. It changes the color and turns shiny as soon as you...

Because nothing is obvious on pickup. I looked the truck over everywhere when we picked it up and didn’t see anything other than factory trim flaws on A and B pillar. I finally got the dealer to order new trim and ship it to me after fighting for 2 months, and that was documented on delivery. I...

Ford’s quality control is pure crap. There are paint drips and fisheyes in several spots on the Mustang. They forgot to put the seat belt buckle felt protector on the drivers side of our 2019 F250. It has scratched the hell out of the console. The paint quality is horrible too. Where the two...

3.73 have always been whiney hit or miss. Our 2012 3.73 was noisy from the very start. Dealer tried to fix it several times culminating with a total diff rebuild. Never made a bit of difference. Noises were exactly the same speeds as yours and annoying as hell on the interstate. Father in laws...

So it still does it tuned? That really sucks. I figured a tuner would really wake these up. My sho was a dog off the line too stock, and it clawed off the line with all 4 tires spinning once I tuned it.

Same here. Sold my 16 Taurus SHO and my old rusty 06 F250 to them. They paid $1300 more for the SHO than carmax offered and $1700 more on the truck. Didn’t even drive them before handing over the checks. Carmax beat out carvana on the 12 Mustang, though, by over a grand. Funny thing was the...

That video is pretty awesome on the high stall converter. Would love to get a ride in a car that had one. Seen a few drag racing cars with converters set up that way. My only concern would be killing the street drivability. Don’t have any personal experience, though. Just guessing it might be a...

Man I love those Magnetics. They just look classy. Have a lot of the “I’m gonna eat you” look too.

Good for you John. My dad is 78 and he bought a Honda Civic. He could afford what he wants and loves cars, and picks a base civic sedan. He’s just too cheap. At least it’s a manual, but he did that for cheapness not fun. I’m 43 so the electric orange convertible screams mid life crisis. Lol...

Wow. 14 replies. You guys definitely covered the gamut on options. I’ve been on another mustang forum for years and wouldn’t have gotten 14 responses in a month. I guess I should have said what my end goal is, though. I’m not looking to be competitive on the track. I might run it on a run what...

I know this question has been asked 1000 times before, but I’d just like some guidance from people who have been there. My head is about to explode after reading 100 different threads about options for getting a little harder launch. I’m coming from a 2012 3.73 manual 5.0 into a 2018 A10 3.15...

Just got the wife a birthday present. It’s a new 2018 demo GT Premium 401A A10 vert in Orange Fury with Shaker Pro, Active Exhaust, 20” wheels, 3.15, Safe & Smart. We’re coming from a 2012 Performance White GT Premium 401A 6MT 3.73 coupe that we also bought new as a demo in 2012. Wife had a...
