NEARLY 2 YEARS WAITING: New Mustang GT PP is finally mine!

My thinking also, but I am in no rush to fit a wing, now I have the exhaust just time to enjoy the car. :)

Once I have had chance to throw the car around in the dry and get these Pzero's scrubbed in more, I can write a proper review on how the car handles etc. It is then I can start switching suspension out and it is then when it will start looking a lot more aggressive in its stance. :)

Going to lower it with those wheels on? They are going to look lost in the arches.

Yes I have the FRPP Handling kit, which lowers the car 1.25-1.5" so the huge gaps in the arches will be gone, I also have wheel spacers to bring the wheels flush with body work, but I am not fitting any suspension parts yet!

Want to drive car on stock suspension, see what it is capable off and then fit my uprated parts. :)
 
It's gorgeous and sounds amazing! But doesn't it bother you a little that it's a 56 plate when you got it in 2016? I know the 16 plates aren't out yet but still :p

Looking forward to some videos of you giving it some! :D

Oh, and it NEEDS that little wing!!
 
Surely you mean a heavy and woefully inefficient engine.

The only reason anyone wants the V8 is because they want people to give attention to their excessively loud car.

End of the day the RS more practical and the faster road car. Not to mention being cheaper to buy and more economical to run.

ch-ch-ch-ch-ch :p They give you a decent plated LSD in these then?

Ford offer two types of LSD, the one in mine which I have no idea what it is but better than open diff for sure, seems to work very similar to E46 M3 LSD and they offer a torsen LSD but only US cars have that with shorter 3.73 gearing.

Seems to work fine and I prefer 3.55 gears as even those are too short for the power/torque this car has, 3.31 would be best to be honest, especially once running bigger power.

Thats what american V8's are all about, but I am getting better than expected, 16mpg so far overall and seems to be improving.

Of course that is the reason people want a V8, but its not because they are loud it is because they sound 10x better than any 4 pot, factual, just like a V6 sounds better. Focus RS I see flying around have far louder exhaust on them than Mustangs, but they just seems to make absolutely disgusting noise followed by pops, explosions and bangs, sound absolutely crap.

The RS at the end of the day is more practical than most cars and definetely pretty much faster than anything else on the road, just like the old Evo's were, but I've being there and done the 4-pot turbo AWD thing in arguable the better car than the RS with the EVO X FQ-360 and they have their place.

Some people get Mustangs, V8's and some people do not, those who get it know exactly the feeling you get just from starting them up and that is what driving is all about, not just the numbers and technical specifications but how the car makes you feel when you drive it and everyone likes different things. :)

Not at all, makes the car no different and the plate is temporary anyway already got my own plates ready to go on, just waiting for log book so I can do it online with DVLA. :)
 
I like it, but i don't love it.

Can't put my finger on why. I want to say the wheels don't look *quite* right - better suited to a mondeo? Not really sure - spacers that you have planned may help!

Sounds glorious though - nice purchase :D
 
This car must be good if i would have one over a Honda :D Maybe cause l had enough of HS's always liked coupe sort of body and honda does not sell em in eu or japan nowadays :/
