Introduce yourself!!

[87txag]

Howdy - well I've been a loyal Ford customer since '87 buying new every 2-3 years. They have always been trucks although, I always wanted a Mustang. Early last year I couldn't pass up how crazy the used car market was and sold my '17 150 Platty for what I paid for it 4 years earlier. I bought a new 4Runner (yes, cheaper than used) thinking I will play with this and get a new truck in a couple of years once everything calms down. It's not a bad vehicle.

Well a month ago my wife's Day 1 reservation Bronco finally arrived. As soon as we got home, I looked at the 4Runner and said what a POS! My wife knew that after owning it for 7 months, its days were numbered. I thought I want a Mustang. I started reading up on them (mostly here), deciding on options I wanted, and searching inventory (couldn't wait on an order after the Bronco 500+ day ordeal). So, a month later, the stable is complete. My '21 GT Premium 401A next to the wife's '21 Bronco Wildtrack.

Hey guys, I used to have a Mustang V6 2016. The car proved to be reliable. I traded it in with over 140k miles on it for Mustang GT Premium 2016 automatic, just last month.

The Mustang GT, has over 90k miles on it. After one week of driving it, the crank shaft failed. Thank god, it was still under the dealer warranty. So ford decided to replace the engine. Am I getting a deal here? I bought the car with 90k, now I am getting a new engine, for free.

The previous owner installed an x-pipe and magnaflow exhaust.

I work in Houston, but also live in Austin, Texas.

I spend summers in Philadelphia, PA and New York City.

Hey there,

I'm Shawn. I live in North Alabama (Huntsville/Madison area). It's kinda funny how I ended up with this car. I was in the market for another fun car and I just so happened to stumble across a listing on cars. com. Its a '16 in Triple Yellow 6-Speed Gt with 7500 miles.

I was looking at GT's and this car was listed as an ecoboost. I could tell clearly it was not an ecoboost and proceeded to dig further. The car was even listed on Carmax's website as an ecoboost as well and priced as you guessed it....like an ecoboost. So I called Carmax and confirmed the car was a GT and not an ecoboost. After a few phone calls with customer relations and confirmation of a verbal and implied contract over recorded calls Carmax agreed to sell me the car for the original listed price that was significantly below market value.

I got lucky but it just goes to show deals can be found out there. The car has an airaid intake and flowmaster oulaws on it. Im taking the flowmasters off and putting on a MBRP Street catback that I've already got. Also already put on a Ford Performance oil separator. I'm currently searching for a wheel that I like and springs will come after that. I'm thoroughly enjoying the car and hope to for years to come.

Just ordered a 2022 GT 6spd with the performance pack and 301A. Down 10hp/10lbs.ft. this year, but when you've been waiting as long as I have for a real car, it doesn't matter.

Great color!

Great color!

I appreciate that! For anyone who hasn't seen Twister Orange in person, boy does it really pop in ways that pictures don't do it justice. Easily the best color orange I've seen on the road.

Hello Fellas!

In May of last year i traded in my 2004 Red Mach 1 for a new 2021 Mustang GT pp1 with 6 speed. Love the car, the Mach 1 was a full bolt on car and couldn't touch these gen 3 coyotes on its best day!!

Mods done already:

• Roush CAI
• Ported Intake Manifold
• LTH Brand long tube headers (1 3/4")
• Roush Axlebacks
• X Pipe (cant remember which brand)
• Steeda Clutch Spring
• 93 Tune by Lund

Mods i own or are planning for this year:

• Billet Style upper and lower grill
• 18" drag style wheels w/ street/strip setup
• Potentially King Shocks - gottta see how she'll do at the track w/ new wheels
• Short Throw Shifter

I must say, i am truly impressed with the car. Love the high revving feeling - pulls on my buddies heads/cam/full bolt on GTO pretty good lol but i am definitely disappointed with the MT82, first being the shifter itself. it feels cheap to me, it totally feels like the weakest link. also, not a huge fan of the clutch feel hence the stiffer spring. my old mach 1 had a really stiff clutch in it, and it responded a lot better racing with that clutch then the plush style clutch on my new car.

Hey Everyone,

my name is Matt and I live inSouth Central PA

I recently purchased a 21 GT Premium in Iconic Silver. I picked it up on 11/27. Unfortunately it’s been in winter hibernation but I’m looking forward to getting it out on the road come spring.

A little more about the car:

6 speed manual
401A Package
Active exhaust
B&O audio system
Security Package
Optional Polished 19” Aluminum Wheels

I picked up the ford carbon fiber shifter and plan on getting the car ceramic coated and adding a light window tint to it. Other than that I’m just looking forward to enjoying the car!

I also have an 86 GT Convertible that I had to put on consignment (currently for sale) to make room for the new one
