Guys, if you can do Mustang Unleashed, DO IT! They do a TERRIFIC job at this one-day event of giving you significant track time plus some very good smaller driving events. Totally worth it!
@AZ_Ryan I agree with your thoughts here 100%! These are NOT hand-built, $200K cars! Plus, they have LOTS of very complex technology and performance parts, which is why we love them in the first place! Just me, but trying to nit-pick every little appearance item on a car like the Mustang is...
Both R8s were fantastic! The first was 2015 Competition model, only about 60 in the US, but had DCT, which although it operated perfectly well, just didn't do it for me (I'm on old-time MT guy). The second was MT conversion on earlier 2012 V10 with the gated shifter, etc and it was much more...
Very interesting thread here! I have owned several BMWs, plus Porsches of the late 90's into 2010 period and they were all great cars. Only issue became maintenance cost out of warranty that made me move on to a great couple of Vettes (C6/7), again both really nice cars with great performance...
Trella: thanks! I actually applied mine higher than intended as you can see. Mine sit above the concave section near the rocker panel. But I liked the look better that way, seemed to lighten the look of the side better in the higher position. Made the fit-up at the rear wheel look a little...
Sent this photo before, but here are the side stripes I did on my 24 GT with the black/red OEM top stripes. Makes a very nice looking combo and similar to what you are proposing from RTR, but with a little more total coverage. I added the red stripe in the middle with a custom red vinyl stripe...
Sounds interesting, but suspicious as well! Will be fun to see how this develops. AWE is a good company, so hopefully, they will have some solid info on how this would upgrade our 5.0s.
Well, the AS/S feature had proven to be a gas saver over the entire population for many years. Facts are facts, guys, and let's not confuse what is going on here with reality! Just like doing away with the Fed Govt authority to legislate climate change laws, this has nothing to do with the...
Just a practical comment here on my 2024 GT Premium with std 6MT. I find it just fine to drive in all situations. The shift action is smooth and fast and the ratios seem just fine for street and spirited backroad driving. You never get past 4th in those modes anyway, so the big drop-off going...
I did Eibach lowering spring set on my non-PP GT Premium and really loved the result! The lowered stance is perfect (see photo of mine) and the ride quality was not affected at all. I don't do any real performance driving that pushes the handling, so can't comment on impacts on that front, but...
Just my two cents, as both Vette and 'Stang owners multiple times over the years: the ZR1X is beyond compare for outright performance/cost, no hands down. To compare the $200K ZR1X to the now likely $400K GTD is to simply highlight the difference in volumes assumed by Chev and Ford. Both are...
Here (I think!) is link to my car getting moved back into garage just now. Should give you some idea on sound at least. Hopefully, the link works!

I have std exhaust as well and just replaced the resonator with Ford Performance X-Pipe and have been VERY happy with the result. Much nicer sound overall than stock. Plus, WAY less expensive than the cat-back options. Just my two cents!
Jkay_US Just my two cents. Perhaps you are better served not trying to hard to find a "bargain" and instead just buy a brand new Mustang that suits you? The $5-10K difference over a few years of happy ownership aren't that big a difference. Nothing like a brand new car that comes without...
I have 2024 GT with manual and standard exhaust and replaced the resonator with a Ford Performance x-pipe with excellent results to my ears. Really opened up the sound without getting too raspy. Was only about $400 with installation at a decent shop, so probably considerably cheaper than your...
Agree, the 401A with Carmine Red interior really puts this 'Stang over the top to me! Very up-scale throughout and the seats are comfortable for long drives to boot!
Nice selection! I did similar 2024, although in the Carbonized Grey, but same interior and top stripes. In case you would be interested, I found a pretty neat set of side stripes that are good match to the OEM stripes. See attached photo. The black stripes are a set and I ordered the red...
shubox56: I noted no deterioration in the ride quality with the Eibach suspension change. My wife didn't either, so that says something! I keep looking at replacement wheels but really can't find any that look THAT much better, so why spend the $'s. I did add tinted windows, like you example...
