Lol. He wasnāt to happy about the MyKey suggestion, but I paid for the car and am paying insurance and gas, so itās my rules.Son is probably like. Damn you mustang6g people, mind your own business.
Looks like a 6th gen GT and 5th gen RS? If so Ford rules in that garage. In mine the turbo 4 canāt hang with the V8 SS 1LE.Increasing it for what purpose? He theoretically should never hit the speed limiter, so why even make it a thing? Just feels like micromanaging something minor when heās already doing something major, like driving a car. I would have been annoyed and made fun of by my friends if my dad had some nanny device on my IROC when I was 16, it would have likely made me want to see what he was trying to keep me from doing. But let me be clear, Iām not his dad, you are. Iām just here to challenge the group think on this topic.
Also, I urge you to get him in a few autocross events this summer as others have mentioned Itās a fantastic outlet for aggression and it teaches skills in a safe controlled environment. It will also show him that his ability to drive the car could use a lot of work. Itās a much more constructive way to teach respect than having a speed limiter set. Just my $.02.
Not rare at all!
He'll thank you when he's older. No matter how smart he is, he's still a teenage boy and he's going to do stupid teenage boy stuff like everyone has.Lol. He wasnāt to happy about the MyKey suggestion, but I paid for the car and am paying insurance and gas, so itās my rules.
I like the idea of a good driving school or some competition to hone his skills.
Not sure how that would impact insurance and his warranty. My Camaroās warranty covers track usage, but I suspect his doesnāt.
Itās a 2010 SS 6spd car, belongs to a buddy, Iām storing it for winter. We havenāt raced yet but the Camaro is bone stock and my Mustang isnāt. I suspect the Mustang rules the roost.

Hope you had leather seats.Just revving the engine got me laid in college. No joke. Granted I knew her through friends for a couple of years but we never came close to intimate. We were studying late so there wasn't a soul around when we left. That wonderful sound of Ford's pushrod 302 paired with L/T headers and flowmasters makes a hell of a tune... she asked if we could f**k in my car while it idled. Who am I to say no?
Haha nope. I had a gym shirt in the trunk that I put down. It did its job.Hope you had leather seats.
Congrats! What an awesome first car!I bought my 15 year old a new EcoBoost a few weeks ago. Glad I found this forum. It's an impressive car. I got it for $24K and change out the door, which seemed like a steal for a new car. He does most of the driving (on a learner's permit) but I have driven it a bit and I'm impressed. Good value for what you spend.
The plan is to put a couple of thick gloss black racing stripes up the middle, an OEM rear spoiler, and eventually I would like to get him the tires and rims that come on the performance package EcoBoost. Pics to follow.
