My favorite salesman at my favorite dealership has already located a couple of new 2023 models that fit my specs except for the Magneride but I guess that's easily retrofitted. The plot thickens... Whoot Whoot!!!
I'm amazed at all the great advice I've received here but I shouldn't be surprised because this forum is a lot of fun and also very supportive and there are a lot of people with a lot of common sense knowledge and are more than willing to share it.
My take away is to not be in a hurry and to...
Wow.... Thanks guys.... That's some eye opening advice. I HAVE noticed that there are a BUNCH of 2022 models for sale on lots too so I suspect prices WILL be dropping soon.
I also was NOT aware that you could no longer order a new 2023 and from what I've seen of the 2024 models they leave me...
First a little history....
I bought my Mustang when they were almost impossible to get back in July of 2021. It's a 2020 GT Premium 401A. I drove it until Thursday of last week when a 120 pound whitetail buck decided that the doe he was after was more important than worrying about my Mustang...
LOL... Agreed... Also around here we're FSU fans and their colors are garnet and gold so some people try to call it garnet. I correct them... It ain't garnet and it ain't maroon.
When it's freshly washed and waxed and in the direct sunlight it looks incredible and I have never owned a car or...
I had a ruby red F-150 Raptor before my rapid red Mustang GT and yes... The ruby red was a bit brighter but they were pretty close. I almost bought a race red Mustang but decided it was a bit too "loud" of a color choice for me.
I had to look up gapplebees..... LOL... That's simply too funny!
I've done a few of those... Most recently on an on ramp for an interstate a Maxima decided he'd get on the interstate before me. WRONG! Gapplebees time. I must have really embarrassed him because he seemed to shut down and he...
I have a slightly different take on this. I don't disrespect anyone wanting to race. I rarely oblige them but every once in awhile I take the bait and it's not about winning (to me) it's the thrill of my GT getting to do what it does best and that's go very fast.
The only time I get upset is...
MONOJOY Faraday Bag for Car Key Fob Protector, Keyless Signal Blocking Key fob Black Pouch Anti-Theft Remote Entry Smart Fob Case 2 Pack
I bought a couple of these on Amazon and they seem to work great. I can put my key fob in one and my Mustang can't see it even up very close. It's certainly...
So somebody paid good money to put ugly tail lights on a Mustang to make it look like a POS import? That's crazy... I guess some people just gotta customize but I can think of a lot better ways to do it and they'd look a lot better. LOL
IMO the factory tail lights on a Mustang are part of what...
A buddy of mine sent me this picture yesterday asking if it's a new 2023 Mustang. Sorry for the picture quality it was taken in a downpour.
I said maybe an electric version and he said it has exhaust pipes.
I'm clueless. Can someone identify what it is?
Good point and I've owned a 2019 Raptor pickup with the 3.5 and twin turbos and I can tell you that it simply didn't have a good sound and you had to wait for the turbos to get their act together before you really felt the power. Not a fan...
OH... And how much does it cost to repair/replace a Coyote turbocharger in a Mustang GT? ZIP!!! NADA!!! LOL
That's part of why I bought my 2020 GT. Naturally aspirated engines ROCK and with the new technology they produce way more horsepower than they ever did before.
Turbochargers and...
My Mustang was in a body shop for 8 weeks and I rented a 2020 Camaro and I was very impressed with the drive train I absolutely HATED the ergonomics of the Camaro and never could get used to the extremely poor visibility. I was astounded at how poor it was.
If you can live with the visibility...
Imagine one of the turbos or god forbid both of them failing after that Mercedes is out of warranty. The cost of repairs would likely require refinancing your home! LOL
However here's where Car and Driver reviewed a 2021 model and it's certainly drool material for a performance minded car nut...
I started running Premium of what ever highest octane a station had for my 2019 Raptor Pickup after one of the techs at my Ford dealership said it was well known by his mechanic friends that it ran cleaner and produced a slight performance increase. I definitely noticed a performance difference...
