Looking good!! 6 speed?
Nope, I screwed up and got the 10 speed. I despised it and it was one of the reasons I wanted to get rid of it. The DH has the tremec, so happy to be shifting gears again.

Looks like you and me both made a big mistake with a beautiful Mach 1
3.5 years and probably close the $10k in mods to try to like the 10-speed.
Never listen to your wife when purchasing a sports car!!!!

I have two friends with them that raved about it. It's fast,it's also jerky, shifts when it shouldn't and doesn't when it should .mine has a 5-4 & 3-2 downshift clunk that two different dealers said was fine. All of mine have been standards, I should have known better, lol.

Some people just need to have the latest, no matter what. Even if it’s a downgrade.

Yeah, mine was actually considered good compared to other horror stories I would hear.
Wengerd tune made it best it could be .
but still confused, jerky, and inconsistent when driving around town.
it took like 20 minutes to warm up, which is crazy!
I only liked to drive in S mode as I like my car to be responsive always.
normal mode blows if you want your car to have a visceral feel.
Paddles were great but only at higher speeds with no stop lights .
I can’t telll you how happy I am with the Tremec, an I let my wife know all the time! Lmao
Any you can all say what you want about how fast it is, better in traffic, blah blah blah. I was there saying this bullshit too:
Manual is the only way to have full unadulterated control, full sports car experience, period!

Those air deflectors behind the front wheels
I know what they are, I have them in my car. I have never scraped them on anything, my front splitter has scraped a few things, but never the air deflectors.

It depends upon your own driving conditions. Speed bumps, etc, even your own driveway and whether it transitions to harshly from uphill to horizontal . . . there is not a lot of clearance under there.
