It's a photoshop, not a real car, so not actually spotted.

On topic, I was driving next to a Race Red GT this afternoon in Broadbeach. Standard plates. I put my window down to hear it and it was silent. An exhaust will easily be one of the first mods I do.

Spotted a TY vert yesterday with rego KIKOS near Mt Gravatt Garden City.
TY really stands out.
Anyone here?

Anyone here?

Got to hear one for the first time on Sunday at our Mustang show. It WAS silent until I asked the owner to rev it up. Sounded great when it was revved. He said it's louder when it's a cold start up too btw.

Nice! A bunch from the forum? 24 sounds like a pretty good turnout when there's only about 1000 in the country so far.

Wow Anne what a turnout!

I couldn't make it unfortunately but it looked like it was a good event.

I'll do my best to make the next one, car isn't far away now too!

[MENTION=18576]ssb[/MENTION] I had to double check your numbers but yeah you're about right, there's 1272 in Aus according to some back calculations here

I didn't find anyone from the forum, but I told as many as I could that have their's on order about the forum. So much help here - no help from Ford Au. I was amazed at how many of the new ones are in WA. Specially seeing as ours is not yet and was a 3/2014 order. 225 Ponies turned out to the show - great effort

I ended up going down too but couldn't find anyone from this forum also. Seeing the car in the flesh for the first time basically justified the purchase and put to bed any complaints reviewers have been whinging about.

That ruby red car had the ford racing by borla exhaust but the owner didn't seem to know if it was touring or sport version but it did sound good but completely different from any of the videos making it even harder to decide which exhaust to eventually go for based off just videos.

I was really suprised though at how many owners I spoke too weren't even aware of this forum.

I've been telling everyone about the forum. Would have gone insane with this over 2 yr wait by now if not for the genuine help of people on here. I didn't realize the Ruby J didn't have the stock exhaust. Just heard them revving it and thought it sounded good. Idled quiet.

Exactly right there's a wealth of useful info on this forum so hopefully a few more will join in, if anything to make some informed decisions and hopefully save some dollars in the process.

I was surprised myself how deep and quiet that exhaust was on idle. I suppose it could have been just the axle back but pretty sure he said catback... I might be wrong though. Anyways it may just have swayed me away from magnaflow street but really need to hear some different exhausts in the flesh before making a decision.

Apologies as this is not an aussie stang, but interesting none the less.

A friend of mine is in Jakarta at the moment, and found this.

Only Right hand drive in the country, for sale, apparently for $172,000 australian dollars :eyebulge:

Looks nice though :D

Spotted today in Mandurah. Ruby Red with glass roof. How'd they do the roof?
Note the number plate frame that a member & sponsor of our Mustang club here in the west supplies for $65.
