Ed, I second your sentiment. I am 76 and been around cars most of my life and you are correct that it does not look good for the future of the enthusiast. Hopefully we can continue to do as much of our own work as possible. Glad to see you are still enjoying life.

ay1820, I think you are correct as Verts have a bad rap. The PP1 does benefit from the summer tires, heavier front springs, a K brace, a strut tower brace, upsized sways as well as better brakes and cooling as well as the 3:73 rear gear. However, the basic vert is no dog and will surprise most...

Mags1, Thanks

Being old it just slipped my mind.

Homebrw, Trading cars and scratching itches seems to be my hobby but I am older and patient. Life is short-Enjoy.

ay1820, I may go that route if I can find a nice low mileage Vert manual. As I said above I can do the bracing and 3:73 rear end myself.

Homebrw, Thanks for the assessment. I completely agree. Nice pics thanks for taking the time to include. I looked closely at the CTR and even thought about the new Impreza S but as you said, NO V8 and No Vert. I did have a P Boxster 981S that was a hoot and a very nice ride but was PDK and not a...

Cobra, I completely agree.

Thanks for the replies. EFI, As far as "issues" most articles say "issues". For me, I would call an issue anything that is annoying or causes the driving experience to be less than ideal. Also, anything that the dealer has to respond to more than once to me is an issue. I am still going with...

I have read thousands of lines of material on the issues with the 10R80. Most state "not all 10R80's have issues" but has there ever been an analysis of what percentages have issues? OR has any info on teardown revealed any common reasons why some have issues? I know both the 10R80 and the MT82...

Homebrw, Thanks for the assessment. A GT with a 401A with what you have is exactly what I have been looking for. I have checked the entire SE and there does not appear to be one left. The couple I found were in route to dealers, one in NC and one in SC but were bought by Shelby America for...

Gone. Appreciate your being honest about the car and its' use. Ideally, would like one new so I knew I was the only one who has driven it. There is always an option that there is one hiding in transit somewhere. Not a fan of the new S650 so would not consider ordering one. As I said, want new...

Well, decided on a vert and started to do a deep dive on locating a S550 Premium vert with 401A and Manual. Could not believe there was no one in my entire SE region. There were two available however before we could move on them Shelby America took them for upfitting. If I had known several...

Inbound, interesting as I sold a 2020 MX 5 soft top last fall. I would imagine most Mustang suspension setups are softer than the Miata. Do miss the corner carving that the MX5 can do but looking for more room and comfort.

The performance pack would be nice as want the lower rear end ratio. If I find the perfect vehicle without the Performance pack would change the rear end most likely to 4:10. Prefer the ratio of the 2017 much better. I understand that Ford was concerned about the mpg but me not so much and would...

Ryan, Thanks for the info. I had read somewhere that Ford had offered this program but could not remember. I am assuming since Ford sponsors this program that they would feel the same about mods as the original warranty.

Carl, Thanks for the info. If I find the right one without the Performance add ons was planning on adding myself. I think it would really help settle the chassis down.

Gone, still planning on a manual. At 76 still love to row through the gears and my achilles issues are hopefully behind me. Last year. I had a '20 Miata manual and it was no problem so hoping all will be good with the Mustang GT.

I know Porsche and GM offer extended warranties on vehicles up to 7-10 years old even if they are out of basic warranty and wondering if Ford offers anything similar.

My '66 is like the Fox body and I just put a switch under the dash in the fuel pump circuit. As has been said, Modern cars not the same or as simple.
