Just wanted to share some thoughts about my car.
She was delivered on the 8th from Lynford WA which makes it something like 435 days since order. The dealer experience during this wait was disgusting, we never stuck to one person and ended up meeting 5 different sales people. However, the actual delivery day was very smooth. She was in immaculate condition. Like how everyone else says, it's worth the wait!
I chose Magnetic as my colour and I have to say, I think it is the perfect colour. Its not too "hot" or too subtle. Her curves are so beautiful from every angle. Shame we don't get real DRL and taillights. But honestly, she is so damn good looking, I didn't know there was such a thing as mechanical love. :love:
The driving experience is awesome. The stock wheel feels great to use. The brakes are surprisingly controllable and smooth, one of the best aspects about the car in terms of the mechanical side. My other car is a '12 XR6 which is also an excellent car. The throttle in that car is sharp, maybe a bit sharper than the Mustang in my opinion. Another thing to get used to is the length of the hood, it's so good to look at but when turning, it feels like you're swinging a long sword!
Complaints. Two minor things that bug me is the scratchy plastic on the armrest, around the mirror controls and response speed of Sync 2. Can't complain too much though. The other major thing I don't like is the absence of a digital speedo. Although I can get used to the gauge, I'm a precise person so I want to see exactly how fast I'm moving. I thought it would be a very easy thing to implement and a necessary addition to a sports car. :shrug:
The car also gets a lot of attention in the streets. Partly because it's a Mustang but also maybe partly because its being driven by me, a young Asian (responsible) driver. Going from a Ford to another Ford :ford:, I get friendly abuse from friends since they think society dictates that I should be driving a 370z or an 86 or some other Nissan and pretend I'm in Tokyo Drift. But its all fun and banter. They secretly envy the Mustang. Overall, the responses to the car have been 100% positive.
Sometime in the near future, I plan on getting vinyl stripes and tinting applied. I installed the Blingworks LEDs already, that was a pain in the neck (actually should say pain in the thumb). The Roush side scoop, JLT can and Borla S Type AB are on their way.
Although I've been fairly quiet in these forums, I'd like to thank Mustang 6G Aus for guiding me through the journey.
