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

Mr-White said:
Finally got another test, this time it was in the auto (eeew) and set to race mode :D It was a lot more comfortable to drive although the auto gear changes felt horrible, they were like bad gear changes in my Audi.

He's drawing up the paperwork later, he already had another test drive booked in straight after mine because he had to squeeze me in after not reading my emails again.

It appears they have also discontinued to blue.

Competition Orange, Guard and Deep Impact Blue is EOL. :(

Grabber blue :D is back and some new lightning blue for future years.

The Auto will learn and improve, but its an old fashion auto but once it learns to your driving suits the car. If you are modding then remaps transform the auto shift points and firm them up lovely so they are more sporty.

But the manual is brilliant in this car once you pull that sodding clutch assist spring. ;)

the Evo is a hell of a lot better than a Focus RS, plus it's moving towards a classic now

the RS is a car you'd own if you live on a Southampton Council Estate, you see them all the time on the way to `The General`, they're either bright green or yellow, with stupid black stripes, they look totally and utterly naff ..... :D

What do you drive?
 
Guess who's £1000 lighter ? :D

Apparently I'm one of the rare people who can say I got a Mustang in 6 weeks :D

The colour is still slightly a mystery, it's guard grey which people have said looks slightly green but the colour sample just looks dark grey.

Yes there are two greys:

Magnetic: Dark grey which sparkles in sunlight due to heavy metallic flick in the paint.
Guard: Dark grey that turns almost dark green from certain angles in certain lights.

That's what I've been told but the sample didn't look green in any light or angle.

You google guard grey and it looks different in every picture lol

This looks grey and a little bit green

I thought the colour was guard green. My dealer had an unsold one and I was tempted to try and swap my order for it but decided to stick with yellow. Build is due this month and apparently average delivery is 57 days from release so hopefully just 12 weeks to go...

i assume the £1k was a deposit, did you go PCP?

Yeah the £1000 was a deposit, I had to chip out of work to stop someone else buying it.

I could have paid it out right but decided to dump £20k + my Audi A4 part exchange and it worked out about £240 a month for 4 years. They want me to go back in a few weeks to value my Audi so final figure still has to be confirmed.

I still find it weird seeing mustangs for sale in UK! Well done ford for bringing it in, looking at this thread alone I guess the sales are not bad either!

The sales are a roaring success, cancelled cars or cars being sold for small profits are being snapped up as well.

The most surprising is the thread on Pistonheads where so many Focus RS customers (deposits paid) have cancelled/transferred their orders and moved over to the Mustang, simply on the grounds that when they saw the Mustang in the flesh it put the Focus to shame on looks, quality, sound.

Ford wanted to go global and boy what a decision, whoever suggested it in Ford is now probably on their super-sized yacht full of hot women throwing one insane party. :D
 
Hi there


OK so some might remember Iceman mentioned a week or so ago about having a titanium gear knob and raving about the quality.

Well mine arrived today, install very easier and it has a grub screw and comes with supplied key, makes installing easier, no need for a jam nut or loctite. :)

First thing, I was hoping it would be a bit shinier as its a bit dull, of course being brushed titanium and made by hand in a lathe works. But colour aside it is twice the weight of the stock item and believe it or not this makes changing gear even nicer. It also has a lovely texture/feel to it and does not suffer from being freezing cold when you first get in the car. The quality is outstanding, I am not going to attempt polishing it as it could spoil it, lovely bit of kit. Thanks Dave aka Iceman!


Today my air-oil-seperator arrived, an official Ford Performance part to help with engine health, power etc.

As expected OEM kit, fantastic quality and for £125 well worth it as it will help keep engine healthy, clean and ensure maximum horsepower. Fitment is very easy as it uses OEM quick release hoses! Shall fit it tomorrow in daylight!

In short performs same task as an oil catch can, but this part was specifically designed for the Coyote/Voodoo engine so should be one of best designs on market and of course it maintains that o.e. look. :)

Today I had my decals/stripes fitted along with the wiring loom recall performed by Ford, but no photos sorry, will try to grab some tomorrow. :)
