Introduce yourself!!

[JB41]

This is Jared from California. I’m 34 and have always loved mustangs since i was a kid. Growing up, the 2000 svt cobra was “the one”, in red of course.

I’ve always been in a ford truck since high school. From a Ranger to F-150’s, 250 and 350’s. My wife and I rented a 2020 ecoboost convertible this summer and we were hooked. We just bought a 2017 Ecoboost Premium Convertible last weekend. It’s such a blast to drive. Totally different driving experience than any other vehicle I’ve ever owned. Hoping to pass this one down to my oldest daughter when she’s old enough to drive in 5-6 years. Then mommy and daddy can upgrade to a GT .

My wife’s parents own a 65 fastback so hopefully we can get them to take it out more now that there is a 2nd pony in the family.

Hey everyone. I'm an old fart whose first car was a 67 Mustang GT fastback 289 4v/4spd. Got it with a co-signer at 18 years old for $1288 off a used car lot. Did the dumb kid things and put huge tires and air shocks in the rear, biggest solid cam JC Whitney had, Edlebrock intake, Holley 650 double pumper Hookers and Thrush header mufflers.

I love all kinds of cars and after that had a couple of SS396 Chevelles, SS Novas etc, then in the late 80's got into Mopars hence my user name which was my last muscle car I sold to a guy in Sweden in 2005.

Anyway, I have only had trucks and 4x4's the past 18 years or so and looking to get a fun late model toy in retirement. I got to talking to my neighbor who is a big Mustang guy and he has given me the itch. He has a Dark Horse that has been on order for several months and no date when it will show up.

So I am on the hunt for a nice 2018 or so. I am in the deciding stage whether I want a Eco or 5.0/auto or manual. I have not had a manual trans in 30 years with the exception of a Suzuki Samurai several years ago. Looking to learn a lot about these late models before I jump in feet first and buy one.

In the meantime, here is a pic of my first car I described at the top. Note the date. This was after I owned it two years and just had it painted which is why no GT stripe. Looks pretty dated compared to all those beauties above...

Hello Kevin from Phila here! Just picked up my 3rd Mustang, a '15 GT Premium MM 6 speed. In the 80's I had a '69 Mach1 and a '70 Grande. The former had an Earl Scheib $69.95 paint job from the Spring Garden street shop, the latter a Pep Boys rattle can red primer job. I was hoping my '15 would have the giant clock in the dash like my '69 had :( My current EMP bugout mobile is a '70 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 4 speed, 12 bolt posi with ignition points! I'm looking forward to getting down with my '15! I'm on a mission to become the oldest member of the Philly Street Racing team!

Just got my first Mustang so I figured I'd say howdy.

I am admittedly more of an import guy. However there aren't a lot of affordable RWD turbo cars these days. An Ecoboost had been on my list of cars I was considering. This past Wednesday I was rear ended while stopped in traffic totaling my car. Later that day I bought a 2015 Ecoboost premium that I had been planning to go test drive.

Heard a lot of bad things about the MT82, but this car seems to shift fine. I'll probably upgrade the shifter and fluid at some point just because I like tinkering.

Probably much to the dismay of most typical mustang guys, I plan on going for more of a tuner style. Already have an HKS Super Sequential BOV on the way, still deciding on what piping and intercooler to go with. Planning on a Tomei single exit titanium exhaust, Cobb Accessport, Work wheel, etc.

The rest of my fleet consists of a 97 Mazda Miata and an 84 BMW 323i sedan.

Welcome all new members! Glad to see some of you participating already Let's keep up this roll call.

 

[BassBob]

Good morning!
Yep BassBob writing to introduce myself. I just bought a 18' Hurst appearance package GT.
I have some questions about the car. (yep. typical newbe, sorry!).
1st question. How many Hurst packages were sold in 2018? If there's somewhere
else to check, please let me know. 2nd question. Octane rating. 91/93/87?
I have the 435 hp engine. Last question. Can I rotate the tires, Front to rear, or are
there offsets I'm unaware of?
That's it. Happy to join the forum!
Best Regards,
BassBob

Both are 3.55 "Safe-T-Track" as Pontiac would say....

Hey all. Love the community here. Just bought a 17 GT PP1 MM6 with 37k miles. I have had 4 mustangs before (2 1970s convertibles, 72 convertible, and a 98 V6 6-speed). I’m enjoying dreaming about the modes I want to do. I’ve already converted the seats to leather and in the process of converting form Sync 1 to 3 which will give me drive modes and seat heating and cooling feature. Yes, I know it will require some new harnesses and a trip down Forscan lane. I have a guy. Haha. I’ll looking at either getting the ford power pack 3 upgrade or maybe supercharging it (if I can find a deal). Always welcome your thoughts, ideas, suggestions.

Hi, nice forum you have here. Thanks for including me.

I'm a mechanical engineer who does a bit of this and that. High end RC cars (design and manufacture), Tower Cranes & concrete placing equip (design), motorcycle parts (design and manufacture), full size truck parts (design and manufacture). I dabble a bit in the freestyle drones and other RC flying machines. I 3D print some stuff. And I've access to high end scanners and reverse engineering software.

I'm old like dirt and have a 4yr old son who keeps me on my toes.

I've got a few vehicles, but my main horse is a 2016 F350 Diesel that has had some work and is a towing monster.

Nice toys! Welcome

Hello all. Thanks for having me here. I picked up a 19 GT PP2 that sat on the driveway most of the time. This is my first Ford and Mustang. Before this, I had 68' Firebird and an 01 S2000. My 8yr old son loves the Mustang and will be making lots of memories with her. I would like to take this car to the track and see what she's capable of.

Hello and thanks for the ad. My mustang originally belonged to my brother who passed earlier this year from cancer. She is my first mustang and I have been enjoying driving and getting to know her. While I will probably never race her, I still want her to look and sound good, and be fast enough for me to play with.

New to me 2016 GT350 just purchased a few weeks ago but I've owned Mustangs most of my life. Little back story on my most recent is my dad owned a 07 GT500. Over the last few years he stopped driving so I kind of took it over. He want to sell for it a while back but we kept it waiting for the right car for a replacement. He liked riding around until the last few months. He passed away before that happened and since we had decided a long time ago to get something newer, I sold it. While the car had some sentimental value it was showing it's age and the bug wouldn't go away so I bought the GT350. The difference is night and day. I'm still getting used to it but it's a great ride. This is a picture of the GT350 and my 03 Saleen S281.

 

[Colt81]

Hey everybody! I'm Craig, I live in Portugal but from the Uk.
I've been a lifetime admirer of the mustang and finally purchased my first a few weeks back.
This is my Yellow EB.

I also have my other pride and joy which I had totally rebuilt and restored, 1975 Mk3 Ford Cortina.

Looking forward to picking everyone's brain on where to start with upgrades.
