  1. V8 owners, what's you best gas mileage record?

    Prior to the pandemic, I drove monthly from Michigan to Pennsylvania, mostly on toll roads and freeway, but also on some back roads when I found a shortcut that kept the GT350 from just about running out of fuel on the trip. The best run in the GT350 on a single tank of fuel was 27.3 indicated...
  2. Saving Up for a GT350

    As Galaxy above mentioned, you need to consider the full cost of ownership for a GT350. I have both a 2011 Mustang GT and a 2017 GT350. The 2011 Mustang GT's insurance has been roughly $520 every 6 months since new. The 2017 GT350 started out at roughly $1,000 every 6 months, and jumped to...
  3. LIGHTNING BLUE GT350/R Thread

    Congratulations on the purchase of the new car, you certainly received a good deal on the car. For some reason I cannot see the pictures that you posted, but I think that you will really be impressed with how the car changes color on sunny summer days.
  4. LIGHTNING BLUE GT350/R Thread

    Campbell Ford in Michigan. The car is still listed on the company's website at $5,000 over sticker (in May 2016 the three GT350s on the showroom floor were marked up $15,000, so they might be willing to deal). When I took my GT350 in to have the oil line recall fix performed, one of the...
  5. LIGHTNING BLUE GT350/R Thread

    The moderately small dealership where I custom ordered my 2017 lightning blue stripeless black roof GT350 in May 2016 ordered an identical GT350 (minus the comfortable seats) to put on the lot late in 2017. I noticed the clone when driving past the dealership, and had to stop to take a few...
  6. Looking for advice on switching from Gt to GT350

    I have a 2017 GT350 with ~10,500 miles and also a 2011 Mustang GT with ~52,000 miles. Maybe my comments will give you a little more to think about than just a list of potential problems. I broke in both of my cars roughly the same way - took it easy for the first 20 miles, then drove for a...
  7. Want to buy a GT350 but cant drive a manual!

    My GT350 is the first manual transmission car that I have owned. I was nervous about driving it home, so the dealership arranged for one of the people who owns a manual transmission Mustang working at the dealership to drive it to my house. I started driving manual transmission farm tractors...
  8. Anybody ever fall "out of love" with owning your Mustang?

    Like you, I custom ordered my 2011 Mustang GT premium automatic from the factory in June 2010. Waiting the 13.5 weeks for the car to be delivered added to the excitement of ownership of that car. Typically, by late fall the car starts to feel a little boring, feels like just any regular car...
  9. LIGHTNING BLUE GT350/R Thread

    It looks like Ken's pictures are on page 22 of this thread. I also posted pictures of my stripeless lightning blue GT350 with black roof here: http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1580330#post1580330 The black roof ties in nicely with the black rear spoiler, black mirrors, black...
  10. Miles til Empty - Results - Est 1/2 Gallon left at Zero

    If the car has a 16 gallon tank, there is likely less that a pint (1/8 gallon) of usable fuel left in the tank at 0 miles to empty based on my calculations. The most fuel that I put in was 15.223 gallons for 359.4 miles of driving, with the dash showing 11 miles to empty and 25.6 MPG (23.61...
  11. Glad I wasn't driving a convertible...

    Matt, Wow, $13,500 in repairs. I stated this: "So, assume that you originally agreed to pay $36,000 for the car (roughly what I paid for my 2011 Mustang GT), which would be $38,160 if you had to also pay 6% sales tax. If you sell the car to the repair person for what you owe on the car, you...
  12. Glad I wasn't driving a convertible...

    My first reaction was wow, this car repair person is offering $26,000 to you for your severely damaged car, take the deal. Then after running the numbers it does not seem to be a great deal for you. For a moment, let's assume that the repair cost is $6,000, that means you will essentially be...
  13. Glad I wasn't driving a convertible...

    El Diablo, Thanks for sharing your line item insurance rates - very interesting. I do not want to be the cause of this thread derailing too far into a discussion about insurance rates - the intention was to give the OP and others a heads up that it appears that several insurance companies are...
  14. Glad I wasn't driving a convertible...

    GT350s are awesome cars, but just be prepared for sticker shock when seeing the insurance bill. Six months of insurance on my 2011 Mustang GT premium has been hovering at about $520 since I bought the car new. When I bought the 2017 GT350 in July 2016, its insurance was just over $1000 for 6...
  15. Anyone come from S197 5.0 GT?

    I custom ordered a 2011 GT automatic premium, and decided to keep that car when I custom ordered a 2017 GT350 last year (I also did not care for the appearance of the regular 2015+ Mustangs). Both cars are stock (other than the rubber floor mats), and are special in different ways. Note that I...
  16. Keep the Mustang? Or......

    D.Brown, The GT350 is an awesome car, my 2017 has been in storage the last three months right next to my 2011 Mustang GT. I have had to settle on driving a 2013 F-150 Lariat 4x4 with a 5.0 engine (my all wheel drive Mustang) while both cars are parked for the winter. Even after buying the gT350...
  17. 2016 Mustang GT vs EB, which one to buy?

    If you are able to afford a Mustang GT, buy that version of the car. I would expect that the GT automatic with 3.15 rear gears will return about the same gas mileage as your Taurus, even though the Taurus likely has a 3.5 liter engine, at least at 55 MPH and above. Unfortunately, I think that...
  18. Gas Guzzler - Highway MPG

    At the end of a roughly 360 mile expressway drive at 65 to 70 MPH in August, the MPG display showed 26.7 MPG (actually 24.92 MPG when calculated by hand). The return trip, with a bit more road construction, showed 25.7 MPG (23.93 when calculated by hand). Overall average for the first 5275...

Single driver with multiple vehicles (2017 GT350, 2011 Mustang GT Premium, 2013 F150 Lariat 4x4 - all paid off) and home owner insurance (house is paid off) through Farm Bureau with a FB Advantage discount score of 979, which...
