And what is with the cheap plastic on the doors? I've got a dimple in the plastic already from leaning my elbow on it. The Ford Flex I just rented has the same thing.
Definitely that all cars are cost compromises. The S Class Mercedes used the cheapest, plastic door lock knobs imaginable. Seriously, they were really cheap plastic, and you could still see the flash from the molds on them. This was the first thing you saw on a $100k + car when you opened the...
Mine turns 4 months old, now with 23,000 km on it (almost 15,000 miles), so yes I've had a lot of seat time. The exhaust in normal is fine for commuting. I do find track mode does get a bit annoying at 70-75 mph highway speeds, but changing that is an easy fix.
I do wish they would have put a...
I guess I got lucky there. My paint finish is pretty good, though definitely not perfect. I even survived the usual orange peel covered rear quarters that I've seen so many have. They guy who did my paint correction and ceramic coating said it's a razor thin layer of paint on there. Not...
I do realize that Ford put a heck of a lot of value into our cars. The Coyote is a hell of an engine. Not too long ago, it would have been serious, big dollar exotic car stuff. The suspension, the structure, etc. Is really solid and basically well designed. Magnaride is magic.
However, driving...
Good to know. I remember being surprised when I saw that it came with 3.73s. Then I was shocked at how tall the gearing is anyhow. I've actually cruised around town some in first gear. Never been able to do that in a car before. And second gets me nicely over the speed limit.
Kind of an odd move selling the exact McQueen edition wheels in my opinion. It's the major differentiator between it and the regular Bullitt. Kinda makes the $20k upgrade seem less special now.
I traded in my 2014 Challenger RT for my Bullitt. I loved that car and did a lot of driving with it. Literally all the way across North America. It was a different beast the the Mustang. Not as much fun, but the better highway GT car. More refined and relaxed for those 12 hour driving days.
Thanks, TJ.
I may have to go pay it a visit.
My only other thought is how do you insure something like that up here. The insurance companies I've dealt with are not enthusiastic about modded cars. I get this isn't just a modded car. You guys are almost a manufacturer.
Are there any Steeda...
It's $20k US for the "basic" conversion. Which is $27k Canadian right about now. Ouch. Any idea what the installation cost would be?
Yeah, HST, at 13% in Ontario, is never a good thing. Duties should be a non-issue, as they are a US manufacturer. As long as they make their stuff in the US...
I’m actually thinking ordering a GT350 to go with my Bullitt. My Bullitt would be the daily driver/office. GT350 the weekend toy. What do you prefer about the Bullitt on the road?
