Ford Mustang 2013 GT Track Pack
Discussion
I've not had the time to drive the Mustang, but I took her out today for a wash.
When driving her around I still get compliments from strangers.
It is hard to capture the true shade of grabber blue and the proportions of the Mustang on camera, especially the ride height which is lower than what it looks like on here.
I took a clay bar to the doors and skirts. It had a fair amount of road tar prior to fitting the front mud flaps.
By the time I had all the imperfections off, the light was fading fast so the pics look dark. I'll do some better ones tomorrow.
I replaced the drivers window seal as the old one had a slight tear in it. I installed a new OEM one but it is now whistling wind. It looks like the glass is not all the way up. I think the glass has to be indexed.
Where most of my time goes.

Looking good! That's a cracking colour isn't it, reminiscent of Porsche Riviera blue, but really suits the Mustang.
Loving the I don't call 911 sign. My friend's uncle on moving to Alabama (he's a Brit) had a visit by the local Sheriff and they had a good chat. He was given the advice that if you shoot someone on your property, drag them back into the house as it makes clearing up the investigation a whole lot easier!

Car and house both look awesome, well done.
Thank you very much. When I came here I had the bare minimum capital to satisfy visa requirements. However I worked my ass of, budgeted, saved everything I could.
If I could visit my 21 year old self at a Skoda dealership in Bury buying a brand new Skoda Octavia vrs, I'd punch him in the face.

Yes the riveria blue looks how grabber blue looks like in real life, I guess Porsche owners can afford much better cameras that take a true likeness of the color.Loving the I don't call 911 sign.

I don't call 911, I have 556 on speed dial.
Crime is very low here, real tradgedies are along the lines of having your chickens stolen by Billy Bob.
However it would take a while for a sheriff deputy to respond out in the country. I don't feel like dominating the stairs for an hour.
Your friends uncle is correct though, just don't shoot anyone in the back.
Not sure if I posted this before, good video.

Some better pics.
The bilsteins have not been adjusted yet from the factory settings, but it handled the small country roads great. It never felt unbalanced or wallowy.
I'm going to find a local machine shop to cut off the exhaust resernators on the mid pipe.
The black mustang posted previously sounds immense. Since it's aft of the cats I don't need to worry about a sct tuner.
Right now I am avoiding any engine mod bolt one as other than long tube headers, decatted x pipe, I am going straight for a roots style supercharger.
That will avoid the expense of an intake manifold, throttle body and cold air intake.
The supercharger alone like a vmp stage 3 will take it above 600 without anything else.
It's the cheapest and most effective way of getting big power. Anything above that a roadrunner coyote is needed.

I've been waiting for a while to find a used Cover craft Pocket Pod for the trunk. I got this one, half price for $60 on eBay. Pull out the push pins for the existing trunk lid trim and reinsert the pocket pod over the existing trim piece.
