If I do it's likely to be several years from now. I don't want to give up my GT350.

Skip the '10. It had the new body style, but the old '07-'09 engine. The '11/'12 cars are a far better buy as the aluminum block with PTWA cylinder liners debuted in '11. Better steering feel (EPAS debut), suspension and exhaust as well.

For not trying you're doing a good job. Aside from not giving my name I did exactly what you asked. Thanks for singling me out, guess you didn't like my opinion, as you didn't admonish the blatant "rule breaking" of those on your side of the argument.

I've owned 6 Mustangs, all bought new from a dealership. 5 of the 6 were SVT/FP vehicles. While I prefer a manual transmission, I think the DCT is the right performance move for the new car. You just aren't going to be able to put this level of power to the ground with a manual.

No, I'm pleased with what I've seen. I owned an '09, an '11, a '13 and finally a '14 GT500. My favs were the '11 and the '14. Wish I'd never sold them. That said... My '15 5.0 GT out handled any of the GT500s and was more fun to drive. My '17 GT350 takes that to another level. The only...

I'm at ~7,600 miles, ~3K since the last oil change. After checking the oil level, I've used ~3/4 of a quart of oil in 3K miles. JMO, but there is so much fear and rumor mongering going on about these cars, and I hate it. Just check your oil level every 1-2K miles and add oil as necessary...

I think most of it is people having to have the latest and greatest before moving on to the next thrill. Also, the car doesn't have a lot of torque down low (esp. in comparison to a supercharged GT500), and this makes it hard to really enjoy the car on the street. This is maybe a little rude...

25% of the gauge area between the two holes, so 25% of "still good".

Checked my oil yesterday. After 2900 miles the oil level has gone from 100% to 25% on the dipstick. I don't think that's bad and can live with it. I'll be doing my 1st oil change this weekend if the weather isn't too bad. Checked the FP Oil Catch Can (passenger side) today. It was a few...

A pic of the car after paint correction and Ceramic Pro coat.

Yeah, I've read through his thread several times and there are a few things I would like to do. Right now I think I'm just going to get it tinted.

Ordered the 3M tape and adhesion promoter that I'll need to reinstall the spoiler after I pull it to fully remove the stripes. Now I just need to read through 50 Deep's build thread to see how he did it. I figure that ought to work pretty well.

It depends on the lighting, but it is a darker red than Race Red. In bright sunlight it pretty much glows. It's a very eye catching and beautiful color, IMO. Thanks Don!

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the kind words. It's at a detailer's shop for the next few days having a paint correction performed to remove the swirlies caused by my dealership's 1st Rate "detail" crew, and to have a ceramic finish coating applied. Having it out of my control for a couple of...

De-striped it today. Wasn't hard, took a little over an hour. I am going to eventually have to pull the rear spoiler to get the remaining vinyl up, but it's good for now. I think it looks better. Ruby Red already make the car stand out and I ended up thinking that the stripes were too much...
