Love the red car/black wheels combo. And agree the black roof will look awesome. Mine is white with the black roof and has black wheels- (it came with the black out package option- the only option on the car) the more simple designed wheels though-19" and they are super easy to clean.
I...
My GF is a car enthusiast like me except she loves Chevy's. So she likes my Mustang but doesn't love it. And she has driven mostly automatics in her life. I am in the process of teaching her to drive a manual. She drove it only once so far in a parking lot to try and learn. She finds it...
Wow, nice, nice, nice! The improvement over the stock wheels is so noticeable. I really like your choice. And with the lighter weight at each corner you must really feel.the performance difference.
Very nice car and color combo with the new wheels!
I didn't hear the tick in the video but as already stated you need to let the car warm up fully, then idle and listen for the tick. Mine has the rattle when cold at 2K RPM and the intermittent tick but the tick does not show until the car is fully warmed up.
If you are going to finance you may want to look at interest rates on a used car versus new. Rates are typically lower on a new car than used. My son end up buying a brand new Nissan Versa instead of a used car (he bought the base, lowest price one the had with manual transmission) and with...
Yes and if you cannot do the mods yourself it may even be cheaper to get the car set up your way from the factory. In my case I do my own work, mods, etc. and shop around heavily for the parts, apply discounts, free shipping, etc. That's part of the fun- getting parts for the cheap- then...
So agree. You could have spent 45-55K on a Premium, PP2 or Bullet but you pretty much get the same car (some will disagree).. This is a strategy I have done all my life- get a base car and add aftermarket to suit your requirements and needs- wheels and tires, suspension, exhaust, etc. I have...
Nice! Please post a picture of the car with the new wheels and tires. Curious as to the offset your choose to get a good stance- will the wheels be flush with the fenders versus being inset?.
Great price. Did it come with any options at all? Do you have the Torsen or clutch pack limited slip? Are those 18" or 19" wheels? Mine has the 19" wheels, black. I like the size but wish they were a tad wider and the tires were another 1/2" outboard in the wheels wells. Do you have plans...
Congrats Nomad! You made a great choice, hopefully you got it under 30K....which leaves you a lot of room to upgrade the wheels, tires, etc. The ride on the base GT is nice and smooth but still form enough to handle well.
Enjoy your new ride!
A buy back has to be incredibly hard to get approval/authorization for. Who authorizes it- the service manager, dealership owner? My 2017 Camaro with the shudder issue should have been "bought back" but no way since they had TSB's, etc. to attempt to fix it. I got sick of it and the last time...
I just park it, it's a very small garage and my GF parks her Silverado next to me. We are both very passionate about cars, each take pride in them so we are ultra careful around them and when walking by them. We even move our bicycles out in between the vehicles. No issues at all so far.
I...
While on the subject of GTI's, etc., a former co-worker traded in his Golf R for an Eco Boost Mustang- a brand new 18. He absolutely loves his Eco Boost- better than the R. He got the Eco Boost over the GT for better gas mileage- and he was already used to a turbo 4. He's had no issues at all...
Camaro SS is a great car also- I test drove 2 different ones as well as an RS with a V6 manual before I bought my GT. I had a 2017 Camaro RS with the automatic 8 speed that I traded for the GT. It had the dreaded 8 speed automatic with the non repairable "shudder". I could not stand it. If...
Hmm, mine does not seem to do this. I adapted to the clutch and grab point quickly. I did notice that the car shifts easily and consistently when shifting lazily and not revving it real high. When I rev it high and shift it aggressively my shifts are not as smooth. I think because I don't...
If air bag deployed it will be totaled. If not it may be fixable although value will be diminished. If totaled it can be also repaired but will carry a salvage title until inspected by the state, then can carry a rebuilt title and be registered. If it is totaled you will get the payout from...
I believe all GT's come from the factory with limited slip, just may not be the Torsen and be a clutch pack type. My 18 window sticker states limited slip but it does not have the Torsen. Although I would much prefer having the Torsen, I use my GT as a weekend car and occasional commuter so...
I was shopping to replace my defective 2017 Camaro RS and also trade in my 1985 Corvette that needed a new engine and digital dash. I never really was into Mustangs. I was really looking to get a C7 Corvette and test drove a 2015 used and did not like it- rode hard, shifted hard, etc. So...
