I am dead set on the GT350, but the more new stangs I see in the wild while putting along in my VE Tiguan, the harder it is to wait! I HAVE to have orange and driving into work today south on I 45 near Spring, TX and saw this beauty

Obviously the GT350 is unique, has a killer engine and is sure to be a track beast that I just can't pass up...but these 2015s look sooooo good and are such a good price! Oh first world problems how I loathe thee!

Yea, I can spot a 2015 from a mile away.

It has gotten worse for me in the past month since I've actually been ready to make a purchase since then as my wife's car got paid off. It's my turn now!

Be patient, grasshopper. We don't want to see you posting on a "regrets" thread later down the road.

I have no trouble waiting, all I want is to have a perfectly produced car, no miss alignments, no engine hassles and all the other troubles I've been reading here recently on the forum.
Ordered an EU EB Mustang a few weeks ago, delivery to be expected after 6 months.

But really Im looking to see if one of you guys found out something new...lol or posted a new photo...Oh well "absents makes the heart grow fonder"

I just wish the weather would clear up in the east so I could drive my 15. At this rate the GT350 will be out before I can drive it.

My boss makes the wait bearable, but the thirst is real, VERY REAL.
And thank the car gods this car has a Tremec instead of the crap mt82, been thru 2 before I installed my new shifter, no issues since but damn ford get a better trans for the GT's eco's and sixxers

Who's to say the Tremec 3160 will be any more reliable? Other Tremecs(6060, 3650) have their own issues.

Based on what I was going through dealing with trying to order the Challenger Hellcat, the wait isn't too bad. I have been in and out of the Ford family since 1984 sorta glad to be back.

True, but when I had my 04 cobra with basically a the same as a 6060 but with less torque handling capability I never had a trans issue in the 1 and a half years I owned it, same goes for when I had a 3650 in my 01 GT never had a trans issue in the 2 years I owned it and I ran it pretty hard, my boss however has gone thru 2 mt-82's in 6 months, and I don't drive as hard as used to in earlier years, I just have more faith in tremec's based on my experience.

No I haven't had much trouble waiting...

I've still only seen one other 2015 driving around my area. I assume there will be a lot more once it gets nicer.

The '03-04 Cobra had a T-56 which is different than the T6060 in a few areas, namely the solid shifter mounting vs remote mount of the 6060. Spend any time searching and you'll find many 2nd gear syncro issues with the 6060, among other issues.

In any case, I've had my MT-82 equipped 5.0 for over 4 years with 33,xxx miles and dozens of 1/4 mile passes plus a trip to the Texas Mile, had one issue(whining bearings) that was repaired at the dealer back in 2011 and no issues since.



I don't expect the Tremec 3160 to be any stronger or more reliable than the MT-82(especially since it will be built in far fewer numbers than the MT-82), however I am interested in seeing the shifter arrangement and also if it is better designed for high-RPM(8,000+) operation which would be expected when paired with the awesome Voodoo engine.

If you buy something else now you will have buyers regret later. The GT350 will be great!
