I loved the new steering at first.....then doubted it (as I got hooked on videos of the car).....and now I'm back to loving it with just driving the car.
Well, once you click the options of Magnaride with active exhaust on a GT you are starting at a $57K car. You're not going to have too many fun tickets left to make up the difference even if you get a discount. Plenty of auto none HP darkhorses out there in the low 60s.
The Premium package is kinda confusing on these. I guess if you go with non-recaros the seats are nicer. You get the puddle lights. And you have to chose this option to choose the appearance package. Supposedly stitching, however my non-premium came with almost all the same accent stitching...
Fords C8 competitor is a whipped Dark horse or GT. Here in a few weeks you can even get a Whipple with ford part # installed at a dealership. The design and collaboration are there, and they absolutely want customers to do it. You just can't finance the final option with the car.
As far as...
I pulled the exact same thing off with my 17GT. Bought for 35K traded for 24K 6.5 years later. Probably won't continue but during the span of the G6 mustang inflation just kept Car Values. I remember Blue Booking the thing in 2019 and it was worth 22K with 15K miles on it.
Even at the highest end of Car Audio people are not running silver speaker wire. Possibly there are competition sound quality cars out there that have it. Fact is the stock wires are perfectly suitable for most upgrades, even with amplification.
My last car had a massive sound system in it...
Lighter, better ratios for the high RPM. Also from what I've read this 3160 has been upgraded in some key areas for the Mustangs. Also torque ratings are all done with a baseline 6000lb vehicle, so with a lighter vehicle these transmitions are not at capacity in stock form.
Auto no HP. Those are the vehicles not selling. But yeah when these cars have some miles on them I feel pretty good about a DH HP six speed maintaining a minimum 10K value distance between a fully loaded GT PP with equal miles. Both will drop significantly with miles and even more so beyond...
Man I had no intentions of buying a new car until I found mine on a lot the exact way I would have spec'd it. I also wanted a Tremec and just really love the look of the DH.
So no. But a GT spec'd with the options I wanted cost 10K less than my DH HP. I'll get every cent of that difference...
I can only tell you that I owned a 2017 GT PP1 manual with the FP power pack 2/Borlas..... I made it about on block before I could tell the DH was different and the difference was enough that I knew I wasn't going back. Everything, I mean everything is an upgrade. The first bitch I have is...
