In that instance since I am not seeing myself becoming attached to them in any way, 10 seconds with some black touch up paint. Problem solved. Alternatively some delicate work with a bit of plastic polish and a buffing wheel?

Buhbuhj posted:Oh god you are in Buffalo. Perhaps you should invest in a snow blower attachment for your Mustang as well. Naw. I'll drive it up until the roads start getting their yearly heavy saltings and then the wife and I can share the other car for two months. This was already planned out. The ponymobile will not be seeing the worst of buffalo weather.

End of Week 1: Car owns. Washed it and waxed it because why not? Lexol'd all the leather and got a few good coats of vinyl protectant on it. Cleaned a few other odds n' ends.

Please remove the back seat, extend the hood, and put in a twin turbo v12. Thanks. E: The charger looks like garbage with 4 doors, Mustang doesn't need the same treatment.

Yeah they've been testing a TT V6 rolling around town a few times in a mustang body. Rumor is it'll be the 700+ HP engine they stuff in the 2018 GT500s. Considering people have been pushing the ecos north of 600hp now it wouldn't be surprising at all. They'll be ahead of the hellcats with better fuel consumption and emissions. I think we're slowly coming to the end of natural aspiration V8s as anything other than limited edition stuff. GUBERNMENT KEEPIN US DOWN.

Whelp every single GT350 in my area got ordered with the technology package for some weird rear end reason. Looks like I'm better off waiting and just ordering a 2017.

Pretty sure the 2016 models have the magnarides and stiff springs even with the Tech package, but they lose out on the extra fluid coolers and a few other bits n bobs. I think the 2017s are gonna be the better option though assuming 1) I dont get a raging desire to say gently caress it and just get one with the tech package (cause I'm a whore that wants my sync3 poo poo) and 2) they don't jack them up $10k for 2017.

Only reason the dealers get away with the ridiculous $20k markups is because ford doesn't allow them to trade GT350 stock. So if a dealer manages to get one on order and they wind up being the only guy in the area with one, they know they have the local market cornered.

Crazy Pigeon posted:I basically sent out a mass email telling a bunch of dealers what I wanted and asked what their out of door price was. Told them all I was going with the lowest price and they were tripping over themselves to best each other. Try that maybe. I just put in a "Have someone talk to me about a 2017 pre-order" request and used the down payment money I was gonna spend to pay off another car. Fiscal Responsibility

So uh.... I guess I spoke to soon. In a weird twist of events on a whim in my disdain for the dealer... I called a local car guy I used to buy from in the past and asked him if he could do a dealer swap with them to get the car and give me a better price.... He came in substantially less, and wants to give me more for the trade on my eco.... lol? Guess I'm signing the paperwork monday?

I actually considered a Shelby over the GT but 1) I dont want to wait. 2) WNY Doesn't get many of them and most of them go to private bid outs from the dealer and I dont feel like paying $10k+ over MSRP for one. Mostly I just want the enjoyment of being back in a V8 for both the sound/performance and the fact that I'm now spending even more time in my car with my new job than I was when I bought the ecoboost, so I may as well enjoy the fucker to the maximum. Plus the wife is making me promise that this car will last at least 3 years, since I've swapped out my vehicles every 8-10 months for the last 4 years or so... heh. RE: Power Seats The Recaros in the 400A / 401A are manual adjustment, no heat/cool, all leather. They still have 6 way adjustment but none of it is electronic. The seats have no power connector and the heat/cool buttons are removed from the dash. You can get the 401A upgrade but really all you get are the extra LEDs on the car, the speaker enhancements, and the annoyance of your car beeping every time you get within 50ft of something in reverse. Ford 401A posted:Features include: Its a total waste of $1800. Digital_Jesus fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Jun 19, 2016 |
