Sorry OrangeCobra1, i confused the photo from Rich Shay and thought it was you. My bad.
Rick Shea, that little blue Michelin tire sticker. Where would one get a set of those. Subtle but cool?
Thanks
Hey OrangeCobra1
Car looks really good. I especially like the detail of the small michelin logo tire sticker. Would you mind sharing where you got those? Many thanks.
Holy cow. Sorry to hear that Stevbas. 424 miles. The dreaded "#5 valve". Sadly, we probably will see more of these. C'mon Ford (or more appropriately Ford supplier).
I think I read somewhere that those black parts (wing, caps and trunk panel) are not painted but manufactured with the color in the mold. Some sort of color impregnated process? Could be wrong but I do know they are very easy to scratch.
For my 17, Just hit 5K. I know, I know...love to drive it more often but its a 5th car, weekend warrior, tucked away in the garage most of the time. I love it though and it kinda sucks when you have other cars that need driving. Who has that much time.
For the guys who prefer the GT over a Shelby GT350. You just need to drive one. Its a different car and it will all be clear once you get past 5K. The engine sound and Tremic manual are just sublime. My neighbor has a 18 GT. Comes over frequently and we chat cars. The other day I let him...
The Recaros I think finish off the interior stylistically, and are perfect for this car. At Saturday morning Cars & Coffee here in San Diego for example, some of the comments folks make when peering inside is "Whoa....look at those seats", for what THATS worth. I personally think they are...
I loved my X pipe as well. I found the Quality to be better than expected. It arrived in 3 days. My mechanic had zero issues installing it. Sounds fantastic.
Watched the episode. It was interesting simply because of the Voodoo. But IMO the show in general kinda sucks. I wish they would have continued to tear down the engine. oh well.
You'll be OK. Thats darn close but you will be amazed how fast you, as a driver, adapt to driveways. When mine was new, I scraped a few, now its rare.
Welcome to the GT350 world.
My 2017 currently is using about a 1/2 quart every 3k (with spirited driving). I drop the oil every 3k anyway, so I have no problems with that whatsoever. A friend of mine also has a 17, his uses about 1/3 Quart between Oil changes (3K). 17's are fine.
Having lived in the Bay area, I cant imagine it being a good place for getting a car at Sticker. Even in San Diego, where I am, I had to go out of state. Its easy, zero problems with DMV, and you WILL get a better deal with more selection. Just saying...
Good luck. These cars are phenomenal !
I was a hesitant at first as well installing the shiftek. Pulled the trigger, now I could never go back. The sound never gets tiring. Definately do it. its simply awesome!
