Introduce yourself!!

[90Notch]

Hey all - Former mustang owner here (2000 V6, 2001 GT, 1990 Notch) but it's been about 10 years since I unloaded the notchback.

I'll be in the market soon (late 2018/early 2019) so I'm currently getting myself re-acquainted with the new stangs and the aftermarket for them . Lots of good info and tech here, I've been reading for days.

Really like the S550s so I'll be either looking at a low mileage 15-17 w/ mods or wait for a smoking deal on a low mileage 2018 and do some modding myself. This will be my DD (only about 40 miles round trip) so nothing too crazy but definitely will not remain stock.

Hi, I'm Larry. I have a '17 GT Premium PP, black with redline interior. Stock so far, except for a Magnaflow Competition cat-back exhaust. I live in New England, so the Mustang doesn't get much road time half the year. Sorry, I don't have any photos yet, but of course, it still looks stock.

Hey all. Joined up to do some research. I am in the market for an 18+ and figured this was a good place to learn about the car. Not new to fords, mustangs, or wrenching. Not new to forums either.

Hey guys. New to the forum. My name's Josh.

Went from Chevy to Honda to BMW to VW and now am in a 2018 GT and love it.
Been a car guy my whole life. Love wrenching, but I live in AZ so it's hard to do it for 3 months out of the year (115+f outside).

Anyways, I have an 18 GT w/ PP. Only done intake, exhaust, and a little wing. Haven't fully decided what I'm going to do overall, but LT's and suspension is definitely next.

Hi. i'm Justin in the "Last Best Place" ( Montana) and I am in the market for a 2018 GT Premium. I'm doing my research and have hit the brakes hard due to quality issues on this vehicle most notably the TSB bulletin on the new MT-82 transmission. How could they get that so wrong? I can't knowingly spend 50k on a premium sports car with a known potential problem with the power train. I am hoping to learn when they caught the error and if they started putting the new forks in the 2018 at any time during production. If not I will most likely wait for the 2019. I know it is only a small number of cars but it was more than enough for Ford to issue the bulletin which is the last thing they wanted to do. It may become a full on recall soon. I've owned over 20 cars in my life from Nissan Maxima's to 911GT's and I've never had issues like this on any vehicle. I'm not brand bashing and I love the car. I think it's the best looking and possibly best performing sports car ( if it stays screwed together) that is currently out right now.

New member, just want to introduce myself...
Just bought myself a new Mustang,this is probably my 15th mustang, but it has been a long while since I have had one, the LSx bug bit me about 8 years ago and it took this long to find my way back. I’m extremely happy with this far, future plans are fbo, e85, drag pack. Right now I’m just enjoying it stock though.

beautiful car. Is that the lighting or the kona blue?

Thanks! It’s lightning blue.

 

[Blue Moon]

Thanks! It’s lightning blue.

Lightning Blue is the best! (I may be biased.)

 

[Justin Fontaine]

Lightning Blue is the best! (I may be biased.)

I think it may be the best color on this particular car. It just fits.

Frank, retired in San Diego, so Mondays don't bother me. 'Eighteen Premium PP 6th gen 10-sp auto is my sixth Mustang, appropriately, I think. Liking it very much, so far (fewer than 400 miles).

I've done a lot of car stuff in my life, most of it very happy-making. I hope to continue that theme with this Triple Yellow Tri-coat example. Note the color similarity to one of my early track cars. Seems as if I'm trying to recapture some of the joy of my youth, eh?

At Riverside International Raceway, 1971. Turn Four observers' tower above the bonnet, Turn Six grandstand above the "Kamm back", Villem B Haan Nomex™, Bell Star™ helmet, war surplus store aviators gloves, Clark Wallaby™ shoes, Ansen Sprint™ 13x7" wheels, Dunlop Mexico City surplus F1-front 11.00x13 tires all around, custom muffler-delete exhaust pipe with VHT Hi-Temp™ blue paint, Contac™ paper numbers.

Hello, Scott here, anxiously awaiting my third Ford Mustang, an on-order 2019 EcoBoost Fastback with an ETA of 08/30. If the car is a few days early it will be just in time for my birthday, LOL, which I honestly did not realize until after placing the order.

My previous Mustangs were a 2009 V-6 Coupe and 2012 GT Coupe.

Nick, new member. Grew up around imports but when I started making "adult" money I made the switch to domestic. Started with a '16 Corvette Stingray, from there I made a deposit on a 1le but the dealer couldnt allocate one, so I ended up with a '17 GT and couldnt be happier. Eventually picked up another toy--a '16 Porsche GT4 but after deciding I'd rather drive something than have it sit in the garage the majority of the time and with how much I enjoyed my s550, I traded it in for an '18 GT350.

Currently in the fleet:

2017 Turbo Silverado 1500 w/ cam
1999 Acura Integra (boosted/built)
2017 Auto Mustang GT currently under the knife...d-1x, fore fuel system, built driveline, LT's)
2018 GT350--stock but DD for now
