I'm with [MENTION=24130]Leeroy[/MENTION] on this one. Seems a little pointless to me. I touch the gt350 wheel and cueball gear knob all the time I'm driving so they make sense. Only touch the start/stop twice per trip and i imagine it feels the same whether the standard or modded one. I'd need to be looking at it which i don't.
However we all go with whatever floats our boats so why not this.

it has better ignition !
and its red

Yes, good point. Where did you get the black wing mirror covers from, look great?

They are a vinyl wrap - as is the roof !

 

[bobpies]

That's the point! The white one looks a bit cheap and naff imho. Oh and of course being red it means a better ignition. I love that the button come with a 5 page manual about how to take the whole system apart. Was it as easy as Bill makes it out to be in his video? You just pop on off and pop the new one on don't you?

It prob would've been easier with a pick like he uses. I used a pretty shitty Allen key I found lying around. Top left clip popped off fairly easily.
The bottom right clip required an uncomfortable amount of pressure - which resulted in the button firing off into the abyss with the Allen key.

But hey- at least it's red now

Looks Epic. I used your eBay link in the end and and also bought a gt350 track pack spoiler. I'm visiting mine for the first time today at the dealer's. The tension is building, need to get some Roush axle backs on order.

Wow, that looks absolutely stunning!

Had a bit of fun on the way to the gym this morning - you literally only need to tap the throttle when not pointed straight to cause a problem.

Might invest in a set of higher grip winter / wet summer tyres now - what's everyone using ?

Snow/wet mode, and a light right foot. Lets be careful out there. Our insurance premiums are in your hands ;)

I'd leave the silver horse on the front. It matches the lights and as its the only brightwork on the car makes a sort of statement "I'm a Mustang".

Lol well it looks like it's staying on the front - after I stick it back on with some Velcro !

The black emblem I ordered is the wrong bloody size.

And of course I went and bust the pins off the back

Don't mean to sound patronising but is it really that bad? What did you drive before? Not sure if it's people not being used to high performance rear wheel drive cars in the wet or that the tyres are that bad? I used to have an e36 m3 which had no traction control etc and yes you have to drive different in the wet, can't floor it etc. Although im slightly concerned that the Mustang may be worse in the wet due to the weight, additional power and tyres, seems to the case from the comments?

Don't forget his tyres are brand brand new so will still need scrubbing in a bit. I don't find it too bad but I do put it in snow and wet mode when it's like this to just stop me making a stupid mistake

I've never had a rear wheel drive, but I guess I knew what to expect as I do a lot of sim racing.

I've had front wheel and my last car was a 4wd Audi s5 so it sticks to the road like glue.

This morning cold and wet, was an uphill mini roundabout I tested the traction on - I was going right so I gave it a little gas to see how much it took for the back end to lose grip- which wasn't very much . But I guess, yes it did exactly what I expected it would do having rwd.

It was all fine . There was no one about and the back slid for maybe 10 feet . I don't actually recall the traction control even kicking in whilst it was sliding.

When i get a new performance car I generally find an empty bit of road to find its limits, so im not constantly "surprised". Ill definitely do this with the stang
