Introductions & Welcome Thread 👋

Hello! My last Mustang was an ‘03 GT that I bought new in ‘04. Most recent fun car was a Miata RF. I have nothing bad to say about the car. It was a lot of fun, and tiny. Got to looking at current offerings and landed on the Dark Horse Mustangs. Did some searching around and settled on this guy. It’s a ‘24 Dark Horse Premium 6 speed with the handling package and standard seats. Picked it up yesterday in the Seattle area.

I live on the other side of the state. On my way home late last night as I came around a blind curve on a dark two lane road I was presented with a football sized rock in my lane. It made the most sense to go over it vs go in the lake, guard rail, or worse. So… I went over it. This photo is from this morning.

it’s at the local ford dealership waiting for the service department to open in the. Not how I wanted my first drive to go. It doesn’t appear to have leaked any fluids from what I see. The steering was brutally difficult. Several warnings on the dash. When I looked under the car I didn’t see anything obvious. I’m sure all will be revealed when it’s on the lift.

anyway. I bought the car as a fun car for getting out of town. Looking forward to getting this setback behind me and enjoying the car. The first thing I plan to do once it’s back to driving is the all season Michelin’s.

hello world! thought I'd do an introductory post as I just joined.

I bought a 2025 Mustang GT (MT) with the Nite Pony package on January 19th and have been racking miles ever since. My last car was a Golf GTI Mk 7, which I loved, but was unfortunately hit by a semi truck at the start of the year. It did help pay for the move to the S650. Can't wait to upgrade the platform in the future, but for now, just enjoying my first Mustang.

You may see me out late at night in the SoCal area ^_^

Hi all, this is our first Mustang. It's a 2025 EcoBoost convertible. This is my wife's dream car!

We live in the Finger Lakes area of Western NY. We so far have had only a couple of nice day trips driving with the top down on the country roads driving around Canandaigua Lake.

Nice to meet you all and we look forward to having some nice discussion!

We'll post some pictures from our day trips in the future.

Thanks for welcoming me. We just ordered a dark horse that we hope will be built as a 26.

Noyce! Grew up in Buffalo (Orchard Park), but spent every summer on Keuka lake near Penn Yan at the summer camp near there. Out in Albany area now, always pleased to see other Upstate NYers here...

How do you like that Whipple? Who tuned it for you?

Hot! Love Grabber Blue. We traded in a convertible Camaro 2SS to get out S650 Coupe. We didn't drive with top down as much as I thought, but it's still really nice on a sunny day. Enjoy! Planning any mods?

Hi I'm RCF I'm a first time Mustang owner and I love the new S650 Mustang GT, previously I've been a Camaro guy and I'm shocked at just how good the Mustang is comparatively.

You and me both brother. My 2021 Camaro 2SS just could not stop leaking oil from its faulty PCV system. Traded it in for an S650, and the wife went from "barely tolerate" to "Take me to the grocery store, I want to ride in the Mustang again..." Just a cut above across the board, and most importantly for me, loads of head room for mods, performance, etc.

Hello everyone. This my second mustang. Had a 67 fastback when I was in my twenties. My wife surprised me for my birthday in November with this beauty - 2024 with 6 spd, nite pony pkg, brembos and active exhaust. Really have enjoyed driving a manual again. Spent the last week adding the rear spoiler, front PP splitter, ford performance street springs. Got some new wheels and tires from LMR and just love the way the car looks now. Can’t wait to start putting some miles on it now.

Haha yup we're on the same page and it's funny you mentioned that about your wife, because it's the same thing with my wife as well she loves the Mustang!
