The 10R80 is definitely a down grade from manual or even DCT cars in the “fun factor” . I’ve got used to mine now though, as soon as the car is warmed up, I instantly put it in Sport plus and it’s pretty solid . Not as much skipping gears and doesn’t jump into 10th gear while cruising as often.

Yep I had a very similar incident today. I had to go get my dog some snacks , I went to the pet shop at 9:30am (I was sure it wasn’t going to be too busy). I get into the car park , it’s about 60% full. Step 1. I park next to an island and the next closest car is one space away. Step 2. I’m in...

I’ve never had it go off in the Mustang but have had the warning go off a few times even on the low setting. This feature did save me from an accident in my Golf R but it also went off and did a full emergency stop at least once while driving thru a car park which could have caused an accident...

I don’t know too much about the Nitrous setup but I have a stock 2020 GT PP1/Premium 10R80 Aus Spec and there is so many times where I punch it and pray that I don’t get caught by a camera or the police and sometimes regret doing what I did and being caught in the moment. Unless you live in the...

I will tomorrow , I’ve had a 1/2 bottle of JD and cooking up steaks on charcoal. I will take a photo when I’m sober

On the Australia model (RHD) there is a little flap under the driver seat. I never noticed it before but after my first service the dealer must have ripped the little flap up under the drivers seat to see the vin#

I had to laugh at the penis sticker. I only have a Australian model GT which is a mix of PP1 and premium but if I ever got a M1, sticker delete would be my first move.

I love your spec Driv3n to Drive. Beautiful car. I miss my E92 M3 6speed as well but I was a bit worried about having an older BMW and maintenance costs. I got a new Mustang with warranty for the piece of mind but I still miss the sound of that S65 engine.

If you go thru insurance, they will check all the suspension and at least replace the two tires and rims on the side that you hit against the rail. I would definitely go thru insurance. The total repair may vary depending on which crash shop you go to, some are more thorough than others. I...

I agree, leave the street racing for Dom Torreto, there is just too many unknown variables but on the other hand with how powerful these cars are it’s so easy to go into lose your licence territory. Today I was on the highway and it was a 2 lane merging into 1 situation, I had 3 slow cars in...

Yep I agree, it’s cool to have high HP numbers but it’s so difficult to put power to the ground unless you are roll racing and willing to go into “go to jail” speeds (which I’m too old for that ).

I’ve also had a E92 M3 before my Mustang PP1 2020, the only thing I prefer about the Mustang is the warranty since I bought the M3 used. If money wasn’t a issue I would buy an M2 no doubts about it, but like you said it’s a lot of money for the performance boost

So what are we thinking OP? Accident or Neighbour dispute? Either way I would be very very unhappy….

When I used daily my GT, I would leave very early in the morning for work. Temperatures at that time were around 2-5 degrees celcius (34-41 F) and often wet. I had to drive very carefully and even had a spin out close call. I didnt damage my tyres driving in those temps but i had to be gentle...

The people that say that you might not get much performance increase from swapping the 10r80 with a DCT from the GT500 which may or may not be true but I guarantee the DCT will be way more fun to drive with paddles and the instant downshifts.

Exactly! You get extra weight over the rear axle to stop you spinning out and a spare tyre in case of an emergency, it’s a win/win!!!!

But are you going to race him for cash or not , otherwise this thread is wasting my time?

I had a manual E92 M3 but it was a pain to daily it around town because I do a lot of driving. I also started worrying about maintenance and decided to get a Golf 7R DSG. I kept it for 5 years, never had a issue with it but wanted to get back into a V8. Current Car:
