This mustang had the Recaro seat fitted which I really liked, very comfortable :thumbsup: also fitted with the A10 which was nice to try, certainly a vast improvement over the last auto box, very responsive and makes it a very easy car to drive around in, the only downside I felt was if you are braking heavy while in sport mode the car will drop gears and with rev matching it makes the rear end twitchy at times and unsettles the car.

Exhaust is a real pleasure a lot louder even in normal than the standard exhaust on the 15-17. It was shame this one did not have magna ride as would of loved to feel the difference

One thing I found I disliked is the new bonnet from inside I prefer the old one with the big ridges in it, it just looks so dam good

Overall really enjoyed the drive :headbang: a vastly improved mustang with some very nice touches, think I would still prefer a manual but that’s just me :D

Orange fury can look so different in pictures. How was it in the metal?

That photo above reminds me of the brown colour from my first car - an Austin Allegro 1300 super in Leyland shite brown!

exact same; under a canpoe it looks a bit dull, put it in the sunlight it pops, regardless it's a very nice deep orange, best color i can liken it to is literally an orange (the fruit)...

To be honest I don’t like the colour as it’s a very dull colour unless it’s in full sun, in my option it’s one of these colour made for American sun not for dull England light, seen a few Harley Davidsons with paint like this

Done :)

Glad you enjoyed the drive......I can't wait for the opportunity to try one!

As for Orange Fury? I love it. I saw it on an overcast day, and liked it there, as under those conditions, it looks almost identical to the classic Grabber Orange. Grabber Orange wasn't a metallic though, so can't wait to see this "pop" in the sun :)

That's my biggest annoyance on the 15-17, why they made it so dam quiet!

The yanks like to joke that it was for our sensitive European ears. In reality its for California regulations (my MBRP exhaust is illegal in California!) and South Korea (C7 Corvette is banned for being too loud).

Just slap on a quiet exhaust that's cheap and shove it out the door. The new switchable exhaust circumvents those restrictions, as its default mode under normal driving is a butterfly's gentle whisper until you step on it.
