I have had my '24 GT w/ PP, AE, 301A in Atlas Blue for 5 days now, and I have got to say I absolutely love it! I have racked up 657 miles on the odometer so far. It is incredibly responsive, the looks are amazing, it sounds amazing, drives amazing, it is amazing. I am coming from a 2015 Mustang GT with the 6spd auto to the new 10spd auto, and it is a whole different experience! the new dash is surprisingly good, not in the way as much as I had expected it to be, I have had a few digital glitches with the Sync 4, they have all resolved themselves though. I can honestly say that I am enjoying every aspect of the car more than I had anticipated, I didn't know that was possible! The exterior of the car is sleek with all of the right curves to make it stand out, even from the Camaro as people like to compare them. I am very pleased with the PP tire and wheels, I'm not sure why i expected the tires to not be great from the factory as summer tires, but they definitely hold their own, i hear little rocks being flung when they are hot and im going slow. I have yet to break the tires free from a dead stop or even a low-speed mashing of the gas.
Tomorrow i will being getting the windows tinted and soon i will be doing a resonator delete, to do a mid H pipe. There will be more mods as we go along.
Only negatives I have so far been as follows.
1- The front splitter/lip got damaged slightly when they were offloading it from the truck, i showed my dealer and they said it isn't something that'd be easy to get in, so they trimmed the little bit of plastic that was showing torn, and now it is barely noticeable.
2- The back left Red Brembo had a rock chip in the paint, noticed it right after i got the car home on my thorough look through. Dealer is going to touch it up next Wednesday, it is not large, just enough to stand out.
3- A clear coat burn right under the fuel fill lid. I work in a Honda Mfg plant, specifically the paint shop for the last 4 years so i have a keen eye for imperfections. When you scuff clearcoat, you have to polish the scuff to smooth it back out but if you don't use enough polish or you don't move the polisher around enough, you can burn into/through the clearcoat. It is very easy to see that there is a nickel sized spot 3 inches under my fuel lid where they scuffed and polished but burnt the clear coat in the process. The dealer is going to have their go to paint guy wet sand with 5,000 grit and then polish it to see if it comes out or gets worse, if it worsens, it'll require that section of the panel to be repainted, all on their dime of course.
4- A small dent under the passenger side rear quarter window. It is hard to see the dent unless the lighting hits it just right, but it is there, this is also something they are going to look at. 2, 3, and 4 are all being looked at/repaired next Wednesday by my dealer at no charge to me thankfully.
