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...

My car arrived late this afternoon, a day early. It was too late to process it and get it through PDI, so I'll do the deal early tomorrow afternoon. I did get to sit in it, start it up and generally admire it for a bit. It sounds like an absolute beast, and is beautiful under the coat of...

It's in production, getting closer. http://chattypics.com/files/in_production_ye0uuco1hi.png Hurry uuuuuupppppppp!!!! :)

Dealership has a used '12 GT500 they've taken in trade. Black w/red stripes, SVTPP + Navigation. It has ~ 27K miles, and is in excellent condition, no blemishes, scratches, dings, etc... Other than a K&N intake and filter, it appears to be unmodified. You don't need a tune to run that...

Bought the '15 GT on October 31, 2014 and just rolled over 3K on the odometer today. Not bad, but I do have a Focus that I drive occasionally as a DD, so that helps keep the mileage down. My thoughts after 3,000 miles: I traded in a '14 GT500 to buy the '15 GT. Sounds crazy, doesn't it...

I'd had enough with the '14. The car just didn't come alive at normal driving speeds (geared for top end speed), felt like a huge boat most of the time (daily highway commute) and it just wasn't worth the expense any longer to me. JMO, but my old '11 GT500 was more fun to drive day to day than...

I had a chance to take some pics of my new GT next to an S197 '11 GT500 the other day. I thought that some of you might like to see the differences in the body styles side by side. Cell phone pics, but I took a bunch from different angles and they aren't that bad. Should be something for...

Today was the day, it arrived at the dealership at ~ 1:45 this afternoon. I drove it home about 5:30 this evening. I took a whole bunch of pics this afternoon before and during the PDI. It was filthy from the train ride though, so I doubt I'll be posting those. These are the only two I had...

Don't want to do this, but circumstance dictates otherwise. The car is a 2013 GT500, black w/black stripes, Performance Pack, Electronics Pack and Recaros. 4,900 miles, garage kept, washed and cleaned weekly. It's in excellent condition, and due to the colder winter weather, it has never...

Just arrived today, it isn't on the dealership website. Red Candy Metallic Coupe w/White stripes, SVTPP and EP. Hub City Ford, Crestview FL. Ask for Zach or Brandon: 888-721-9513 This is the one I'd ordered back in July. Don't know if they want an ADM or not. I'm not affiliated with the...

Which EPAS mode do you primarily use - Comfort, Normal or Sport? I spent the 1st month with it set to Normal, and the last month with it set to Sport. Right now I have it on Comfort. Sport is fine at speed on the road, but is a PITA in parking lots. Comfort is great at low speeds but feels...

My Black/Black '13 GT500 had some noticeable swirls on it when I picked it up from the dealership last month, and today I decided to do something about it. I have a Meguiar's dual action polisher and a variety of pads and compounds. I used one of their "soft buff" polishing pads and their...

My wife's Focus ST has Hill Start Assist (when stopped on an incline, the rear brakes hold for a few seconds when you remove your foot from the brake. This keeps the car from rolling backwards while you move your foot from the brake to the accelerator), and I'd swear my '13 has HSA as well...

I sold the '11 GT500 to a coworker before buying the '13. We had both cars at work this past Friday and he took a few pics with his cell. http://chattypics.com/files/pair_1_8kfs7cl16e.jpg http://chattypics.com/files/pair_2_siah598870.jpg http://chattypics.com/files/pair_3_24b12cdj8k.jpg...

Do the '13 GT500s have the puddle lights on the side view mirrors? Someone at work asked about it and I haven't paid enough attention to notice.

Bought a Homelink garage door opener yesterday. Interestingly enough, it came with a car attached... :) Black/Black 2013 GT500 with SVTPP + EP + Recaros Crappy pics mostly, but a couple are OK. You can see my wife's ST in a few of them. I know I'd said I was giving up on the GT500...

I sold my '11 GT500 earlier this sumer when I ordered my '13. Since then I've really enjoyed not having the huge car note I've had since I bought the '09 back in 2009. I've decided that I don't want the '13 badly enough to deal with that huge car note again. A few weeks ago we bought my...

We've had the car for almost two weeks now and have just hit the 500 mile mark. My wife has driven it the most, but I did get to drive it on a trip this past weekend and for several days this week on my commute to/from work. 1. Steering/Handling: The car really shines here. Precise and...

Hub City Ford in Crestview, FL just received their 1st 2013 GT500 this afternoon. It was their initial allocation and had been ordered by a customer that later backed out on the purchase, so it is not beholden to anyone. Coupe Black w/black stripes SVTPP Electronics Pack Recaros MSRP...

We're picking it up at 5 PM this afternoon. It's an ST2, Tangerine Scream, with moonroof and nav. TS/black Recaros. We test drove it on Saturday and were very pleased with it. We have a 2008 MKV GTI, and the ST handles better (no torque steer that I noticed), has more power and has a nicer...

A local dealership has a 2004 Mystichrome Vert for sale. No mods, one owner, 64K miles. A few scratches on the paint, but the car is in good shape. They are asking 29K. I'm thinking this is a bit high, but maybe it being a vert and having that paint color adds value? Thanks for the help.

Washed and waxed the GT500 for the 1st time yesterday. After I was done I took some pics, mostly interior, but a couple of exterior shots as well. Edit: The forum doesn't automatically resize pics (and they are pretty high resolution), so here's a link to the image directory: 2011 Sterling...

I traded my 2009 GT500 in on a 2011 (Black/Black w/Electronics Pack) back on July 11. On the 12th I saw it in bright sunlight for the 1st time - it was covered from one end to the other with scratches and swirls. I'd never seen anything like it, but since most of the marks were spiral in nature...

Welp, I did it. 2011 GT500 w/Nav. :pepper: Picasa Web Albums - Colleton - New Hotness It's unreal how much nicer this car is than the 2009. Interior, exterior, engine, suspension, everything is better. I'm even liking the rear end. :rockon: I'm freaking thrilled with it. Driving it...

Will these fit on the stock 18x9.5 wheels, or do I need 18x10 wheels?
