Introduce yourself!!

[Cal01rich]

Hey Everyone,

My name is Rich and I live in Southern California. I have a ‘22 Mach 1 on order. I currently drive a 2020 WRX but miss the sound and feel of my 2015 GT I sold a few years back when I found out we were having a kid. Now that he’s bigger I’m ready to share my love for the Mustang with the boy. Excited to be a part of this great community and I’ll try not to ask any questions that have been asked before by using the search feature first . I look forward to interacting with y’all!!

Hey Everyone,

My Name is Harry I'm from the North East of the UK. I currently own a 2018 GT which is my 3rd American V8. My 1st was a 2012 Camaro SS which I owned for 3 years, my 2nd was a 2015 Challenger Hellcat which I owned for 5 years . I then sold the Hellcat in 2020 to buy a house and I downgraded my car to a Mini GP3, but I missed that intoxicating sound of a V8 which is why I now own a GT.

Hey guys!

I am Daniel from Spain, I have been reading this forum on a daily basis since January and finally I took the effort to register myself and start participating. I currently own a Fiesta which I bought only to have insurance history in Spain (I moved here a couple of years ago), so when I buy my Mustang, the full cover insurance would end up being cheaper. (Which seems it will, I got quotes for ~450 EUR per year, anything and everything covered. To give you a comparison, I pay 170 EUR per year for the basic obligatory + theft insurance for the Fiesta.)

I came across the Mustangs first while doing a road trip in Nevada + South Utah in 2019, I rented an Ecoboost convertible. I absolutely fell in love! Until then, I used to be a big BMW fan, interestingly, I find those cars ugly and boring now. (And the ones that I would still love to own, I cannot afford them. )

Then last year back on a road trip again, the car rental guy asked whether I want an upgrade for a GT convertible...fine, why not. Best decision ever! I am not exaggerating, during those 10 days almost every single time I started up the car I kept the door slightly open so I can hear the rumbling of the V8 and each time I smiled like a child in kindergarten playing with his matchboxes. Even writing about it now I can feel the hair standing up on my arms. So yeah, it's a real love story, I'm sure a lot of you can relate to it.
Two months later and after 1 more 1-day Ecoboost rental here in Spain (to make sure this American sized beast would fit my European sized community garage before paying a lot of money for it ) I got my order signed and now we're anxiously waiting for the delivery - it is expected to take 8 months or more, it feels like an eternity but I'm sure it will be worth it.

As for my order: in Europe they only sell the GT and the Mach 1. We decided to go for a carbonized grey fastback GT, with the automatic transmission and the Custom Pack 2 (black alloy wheels, B&O stereo, metal grey stitch premium leather interior, heated&cooled seats, digital dash, active exhaust) + Magneride. I believe the European version is equal to the 401A package that you guys have overseas.
After dealer discounts, trade-in at a lower price, etc., this ended up being around 57k EUR which is ~62k USD, all costs included. Here in Spain they give financing with 4-5% APR, I am always jealous of you guys with your 0% rates - but at least here there is no ADM, even today we can buy them 5-10% below MSRP. (They just never arrive.)

Sorry about this long wall of text, hope you found some of these infos relatable or interesting - I am certainly grateful to be part of this community, I have learnt a ton from you guys already in these past few months.

Hi All,

This is going to be my second introduction, I believe I made one on the Mach1 page but I've made a deal on a blue 2017 GT with performance package that I will be picking up Saturday. I had a mach1 on order but I will be canceling.

Here is the new ride with my current 2017 Focus RS.
I had a blast driving this car home today. I picked it up from Miller Ford in NJ, very professional and one of the best sales experiences ever.

from what I can tell it has an Airaid intake, gt350 shift knob, and FP Borla exhaust.

You choose well, sir. Especially the Orange one (Orange Fury I'm expecting). Welcome!

Hello All!

Al from Connecticut here. I have been a long time Ford fan and have owned several Mustangs over the years. I got away from them for a while, but I just picked up a 2020 GT/CS Convertible with 960 miles on the odometer from Carvana, and I'm loving be back in the Mustang club again!

My last 'fun' car was an '06 BMW Z4, so the Mustang is quite a different experience! It's also quite a different experience from the old Fox body Mustangs I owned in the past. This 6g is both more of a beast and yet at the same time more refined than those old pushrod 302 cars.

Looking forward to some warmer weather up here in CT, so I can really enjoy my new toy!

Hello! I’m introducing myself, local to Indianapolis. I just bought my base model GT, 6 speed. Learning a lot about the platform.

Hello all! I just picked up a Mach 1 in Columbus OH. Sold my HCI c5 last year, and wanted a gt350, but fell in love with FJG.

Already installed an x pipe, steeda jacking rails, front HP fender lips, HP wing and front spliter on order, SVE R350s incoming this week, and steeda dual rate springs on BO.

Totally different experience from a cammed car to this, this thing is just smooth a silk...

Hello. New to the forum, I haven’t been in the performance game in about 15 years. I always played around with foxbodys and Lightning’s back in the late 90s and early 2000s

I have been tossing around the idea of grabbing a s550 for while now.. back in 2019 right before the pandemic I almost snagged one..

Right now the dealership has yet again almost the same exact car which has me itching again..

I’ve been watching YouTube videos since 2017 on them, and amazed at the power these guys are pumping out of them.

if I do jump and pick up this car I want to know how hard it is to get a bone stock one into the 11.90’s

joined the forum to see if you guys think I can get into the 11s with

bone stock tune
Borla cat back exhaust
Steeda stop the hop complete kit
Weld racing wheels all the way around
305 radials
Aluminum drive shaft (I have heard they make an annoying sound? Never had a issue with my foxs or lightnings, anyone know if a video I can hear the annoying aluminum driveshaft sound?)
Ford racing beefing half shafts
Back seat delete (deleting the seat the second I get the car, it’s useless to me)

i completely understand a tune and 105 octane could get me there, but I don’t have e85 anywhere in the state. And by keeping it stock I don’t have to worry about losing my warranty

otherwise I’d add the JLT intake and tune it for 105

many advice on where I should post this question is greatly appreciated, thank you for your time

Hey! I live on the Mississippi gulf coast and I'm new to the site but not new to mustangs. I previously owned a 2012 gt premium supercharged 5.0 6spd. The car was very fun and I have missed it ever since losing it in a flood. Fast forward to now and I finally had the opportunity to grab another mustang! Even though I have owned a stang before it seems all the new gadgets are gonna take a little getting used to for me lol.
