Welcome! I'm from the IE but I drive through pasadena in the AM and after work. Car looks just like yours but base silver/black rims and a gt350 spoiler with corsa extremes so you'll know its meHello from Southern California.
I'm new in this forum and I already found out it is a great place. I got a TON of help on my first post. Really amazing people here, willing to share knowledge and experiences.
So, second mustang owner. I had a 2017 Mustang Ecoboost Premium with Performance Pack (Manual).
Besides all the crap that car gets online, I have to say that I loved every single second of it. Yes, it is not perfect... the powerband after 4k RPM sucks but after you learn that, you adjust your driving style/technique to use the low end torque and that's it.
That car cornered amazingly well, the front end of the car was light. It felt amazingly planted. I did a ceramic coating on the car and also changed the exhaust for a Magnaflow Competition (Catback). This really changed the character of the car.
Now, I own a 2021 Mustang GT Premium PP with the digital cluster, active valve exhaust, and all that. This time is an automatic. Do I regret getting an automatic? Not sure yet... I never really liked the MT82 on the Ecoboost.
The 10 speed is FAST for not being DC... can be a little jerky till it warms up tho. I can tell already its not as fun as a manual... sometimes I miss the clutch.
I'm in love with this car.... I'm sorry Ecoboost but yeah... nothing like the sound of a good ol' V8.
As far as driving experience, its different. What I liked about the EB is that you can get all the juice from that car. With the 5.0 you better be careful if you want to do that. I still have to drive it more in the canyons to get more confident with it.
Enough said, here are some pictures.
