Hello all, thought I'd post a few thoughts on my first 500 miles!
I purchased a Lightening Blue GT premium PP with most options. I love this car!
Overall the ride is smooth and fast, the look and feel of the car is outstanding and it's a head turner everywhere I've been.
Going though a few options:
Adaptive CC - works great, my first experience with this option and I really like it. Very easy to control and not even an issue when someone cuts you off.
Sync 3 - pretty easy to understand and on Youtube you can find an hour long tutorial that I found very helpful and worth the time. [ame]
Side collision light on side view mirror - work great, not annoying at all and a nice piece of mind.
Premium seats - sweet, comfortable and well bolstered.
Back-up camera and sensor alert - works nicely.
Enhanced security system - don't know what it's doing but no one has tried to steal the car yet.
12 speaker Shaker Audio - so so, interior wise the most disappointing aspect. I was hoping for a bit more sound. Woofer in trunk isn't much.
Voice activated software - still trying to remember the "key" words. otherwise it gets lost in a hurry. Probably more me than anything.
Panel fitment on the car is fine. Several have reported hoods not lined up, or other issues. None here.
Back to the ride. I felt like I had to pull the clutch assist spring right away. I replaced it with the Steeda and it made a world of difference. I can totally "feel" the clutch engaging now. As has been covered here, second gear is a bugger. I have the 3.73 box. You really want to add the gas instead of letting the rpm's fall off, but you kinda have to. Otherwise you're bouncing all over the place.
Handling is outstanding. Didn't test a non PP, but the cornering is sharp and easy, the toggle controls are fun and accurate.
Visibility is great and with the sensors helping, you feel like you have pretty good idea whats happening around you in traffic.
Brakes are fantastic, smooth and no pull at all.
Having ordered this car from the factory and forced to wait a couple months, my expectations were really high. Honestly it met them all. I am a very happy Mustang owner and am looking forward to a lot of great road trips. :ford:
