What he said, I love the matte black stripes with red accents better than any other stripe combo. I'm not normally a guy who likes stripes, but for some reason, matte black on Shadow Black is pretty sweet, probably because its so subtle, which I like.

thanks guys.

Yes I arranged for him to come to my house.
Which allowed me to get it down in winter.
Which is also my quietest time for work.
No down time for car, when spring hits

Likely only other things to get done to car is,
tint windows and adding the oil separators.
Ford actually recommends adding them if your going to track it.
Which I plan on doing a few lapping days if work will allow.

Saw on the other forum you scored "GT350R" for a plate, thats pretty awesome.

I really liked "WHY I WORK", and there were several variations that were already taken.

I thought I'd be a smart guy and get one that said "Its why I work", found it available and charged my credit card and the order was in.

Think about it for a second. I'm looking at it later, and thinking about how people would read it.

Hmmm, something doesn't seem right, and then the lightbulb went off.

I had just ordered a plate that could be read "ITS ERECT".

Gotta call Monday and cancel, no way the MTO censors will let that fly, but amazing how different the interpretation could be. I know the cars exciting and all, but no need to tell the world whats going on inside the car, LMFAO.

LOL, but it would be interesting to see if it would go through. I know someone who tried to get a custom plate for a Camaro that included RS. What they wanted was denied but I have seen a few Camaros around with plates that include RS that could be... interpreted differently.

Ohtobad,

I guess you couldn't make it to Tooele, UT for the "2016 GT350 Track Attack". Several members from Trackmustangsonline.com are there this week. Would have been a great opportunity to drive a GT350 on the track and get some seat time.

I was at the ford performance program in Sebring last fall.
Drive the 350R, was a wicked experience and being at Sebring
was a blast also, never been to the track, yet seen many races
on TV. Very cool experience.
drove my car yesterday, next post

Sunday lunch time

Well its official, First drive of spring in new car.
Got a quick spin in before it rained and maybe snowed later.
Hard to explain this car, amazing, unreal, insane all come to mind.
Keep in mind, still in break in mode and only 7 out, soooo.

The car drives very easy, does like to tram with big front tires, but tried different settings
and makes a noticeable difference. The suspension is amazing smooth, handles bumps very well with magna ride.
the sound in incredible even at lower RPM's it likes to burble when you let off, makes you grin every time
The power is always there, even though they say car has low torq under 3500rpm you wouldn't know it by its response.
when you step on it, it goes, I only took it to 6500 and it just keeps pulling and at about 4000 it really starts to scream.
The car does not feel like 3650lbs, light and responsive in every aspect. The brakes are just plain incredible, you just stop and very quick.
Steering gives great feed back when going into a turn it just goes where its pointed and very well balanced.
shifter is short, direct and quick, very easy to shift. Clutch is very soft,
unlike other Mustangs it takes getting used to, but I really like it.
I only drove 60km and all it does is make you want to drive more, one thing that surprises me is just how comfortable the car is.
Even in sport mode and the tight recaro's its smooth and easy to drive. Its fun to drive even when going slower, but I will admit, I am going to have to be careful if I want to keep my Lic
