If you want to pre oil your motor after sitting for a while just hold the accelerator to the floor while holding the start button down. Disables injectors and will not start. I run it for 8 seconds and then release the accelerator while still holding it down. Starts right up and has a bit of oil...
I am an old geezer coming from a 911 and 4 Corvettes. Physically unable to get in or out of sports cars anymore at age 76 and 6'4" and was a little tired of my Scat Pack auto and wanted to find the sweet spot on my next car so I bought a new 6 speed GT with exhaust upgrade and I am enjoying it...
I have worked at a few dealerships including Mercedes. I have seen EXPENSIVE black SL's coming off the delivery truck go straight to the wash bay and washed with a filthy towel left on the ground from the previous batch of cars. RUINED
My car is a garage queen. Car only has 3K on it. Never spent a night outside. South Texas weather and not driven in rain. Carefully hand washed so no water on the top. I have a dent in my fender so I am forced to leave it for one week at a body shop. It may be left outside for a few days. Recall...
my 6 spd 24 gt used exactly 1 qt in the first 1500 miles and has never used a drop in the 2000 miles since. Gentle break-in and increased RPMs by a few hundred every few hundred miles and finally went to near redline at 1500 miles.
I had a bright red Challenger Scat Pack 392. I often had cops stay glued to my rear bumper for miles hoping I would make a mistake while they ran my plate number. Mustang GT in Grabber Blue never happens....
I would have kept it but at 6 ft 4 and aged 76 with HORRIBLE knees (knee replacement is loose in my left knee) and right one is a mess, I just could not get out of the car. My GT is 80% of the fun and a 1/3 of the price. I really should have kept my super roomy Scat Pack Challenger...
I bought a new Porsche 911 in 2021 for $107K. Just sayin'....I came to my senses and sold it in 2024 for a $9K profit and got a new 24 GT manual for $42K. Happy with that V8 growl.
