Regret List

[Dat37tho]

I sort of regret for not making as much money as I am now when I needed to by my Mustang and got a V6 instead of a GT for financial reasons.
(And for having to pay for a wedding and impending mortgage payment that didn't help either)

... All the savings could be spent on some fun mods to the EB and still have money left over...

Allow me to clarify myself. By "mods" I really meant things like stripes, winter wheel set, car cover to protect the paint, etc. The EB car is pretty fast as it is. If I wanted it to go even faster, THEN it makes sense to get the v8.

I have test driven all four combination of i4, v8, M6, and AT. For me, it distills down to two lineups (both w PP option): EB/AT, or GT/M6.

Yes, the GT/M6 has that "steer with the throttle" feeling of being connected to the road. But going hard into a turn? I think the power doesn't matter then. Two hands on the wheel and left-hand downshift (or let the AT sort it out) is a lot of fun!

To push the GT/M6 will exceed my limits before the car's (being honest here). And that is risky on public roads, to say the least.

Clearly it seems the EB/AT is the better DD, while the GT/M6 is the more visceral experience "weekender" car. Both are viable approaches, except I can only get ONE, and it will be DD except in the winter. (The winter wheels would be for fall/spring, but not through ice/snow.)

I regret I forgot to check the box "Perfect Body Panel Alignment" on the order sheet.

No regrets. After owning nearly every car in this price range (the ones I haven't owned, I've driven) that comes with a MT I can say the S550 GT Premium PP is the best value and bang for the buck in regards to performance, features and comfort in a sports car.

I regret having to work so much this summer and being away, that I barely got to drive my car.

I regret not getting Premium Pack leather seats and Race Red.

No regrets. I'm glad I went EB Premium instead of V6 or base EB. Would have had regrets then.

We have 2 2015 gt mustangs, hers auto 401a with the 50th edition option package. Mine 401a, PP, recaro, with that advanced cruise control, whatever it's called. Both white. I feel kinda silly for paying for heated and cooled electric memory seats, and paying for recaros too, seems like a waste. Oh well, love the cars, both of them.

I regret not buying the car sooner lol.

 

[Khyber]

I regret not buying another Ruby Red.

My previous was a '14 Ruby Red, and it was beautiful.

My new one is white, which I like sometimes. It will grow on me as I mod it more.

But you just can't beat the new body style and some of the nice deep metallic colors.

I regret not starting to look earlier when 0%/72mo came out from Ford. By the time I determined what I wanted, there were very few PP cars within 3 states under 41k ... hence me picking a non PP.

I also steered clear of the only one my dealer could find because it was black and we all know taking care of black is time consuming when its a DD. Should have taken it regardless. There's always next time...

Mine is black, and the constant washing is a lobor of love. :cheers:

One of my favorite features

Regret not getting Automatic Cruise Control. Use the regular Cruise control regularly.

I drive my baby to work 20-30 miles there and back everyday and I pop the ACC on and chill all the way to work, all i do is steer. Then I throw her down into fifth and overtake whomever I please :first:
