No OLED. 😁

Hi Zig, thanks for the opinion. My 2 cents: I understand the idea that “price is relative,” and I get the comparison to what we once paid for a TV versus what they cost today. But I don’t think that analogy really applies here. A Mustang isn’t a consumable household item, it’s a major purchase...

To everyone who has shared their personal stories, I truly appreciate it. Once we dig out from the recent snowstorm in Chicago and my retirement begins (at least part-time) on January 1st, I plan to step up my search for the right Mustang. That will include test-driving both the automatic and...

Agreed, but I don't own a GT (yet) so I'm not sure if the spare tire in a non-PP interferes?

This is an old thread, but I have a question: was the spare tire delete added for sake of chassis mods or tire clearance?

You nailed my concern. And since I'm shopping out-of-state, it compounds the potential issue(s). Kinda.

Glad to hear about the 24's. I'm a little nervous about buying a 24 that's been sitting in the elements for a year or more. I'm SUPER anal, so will tread carefully.

Hey DarkMatter, I do care about cost, but not if 2024's are less reliable.

I found some reasonable deals out of state, 2024 model year with PP. Is there any reason why I should say focused on 2025 versus 2024? Was the 2024 model year more problematic being a transition to a new platform?

Thank you!

I'm swapping rims and tires, so easy enough to throw one of the factory originals in the trunk.

Truly an exercise of mental gymnastics. After thinking this through, I think this list of PP upgrades is worth the $5000+. - Brembo 6‑piston front brakes - Larger rotors - Torsen limited‑slip differential - Upgraded suspension tuning - Additional chassis bracing - Larger radiator -...

Thank you, DarkMatter! That was a thoughtful write-up and it’s given me plenty to consider. Since I’m new to the Mustang world, I’ll need to dig into each of your points further. My vision is mostly a street-driven, drag-inspired hot rod with the occasional trip to the track (maybe annually)...

The more I think about it, the more I want to stick with my old-school attitude. Instead of big wheels wrapped in thin rubber, I keep gravitating toward what I grew up with — smaller rims and more sidewall. I’ve always liked the staggered “big and little” look, with pizza cutters up front, even...

Beefy old school drag with front runners is my cup of tea. LOVE IT!

Now THAT was an interesting twist. LOL

Thanks, DeeDub. Any issues down in the weeds? Roads are a PITA around here, so I'm thinking through this option carefully (my M.O.). I will also be running staggered front and back tires. Researching combos since I prefer more of an old school drag look. This is moving towards my style:

I could live with this (no PP). See attached. A wheel upgrade at some point will be a must, even if it were a DH. It would be nice to find this combo at a deep discount to MSRP. Other upgrades down the road: Adjustable Coil overs, but more than likely the Eibach lowering springs. Upgraded...

Nice pair of cars. :like:
