Just traded 650rwhp 5.0 for 10' Z
 
I had a good learning experience with my 2013 mustang gt 5.0 / track pack / Recaro/ Paxton build. I had a full BMR suspension, short shifter, aluminum driveshaft, full 3" exhaust, Paxton 2200sl....ect. I hated the way it drove. So many sounds and clunks from all of the parts and was a pain to warm up and drive. Basically, it was fast and agile, but wasn't any fun to drive.

I test drove a pre-certified 10' 370 with 17k miles a few days ago and forgot what it was like to drive a smooth car. I parted the big stuff like the supercharger and fuel mods out and traded it in.

It came with the K&N typhoon CAIs, but I know they don't really do anything. Everything else is stock as far as I can tell.

I don't think I'm going to dive into modding quite yet, because I'm loving the 8 year/100,000 mile warranty.

No plans yet. I'm going to avoid tuning to keep my warranty (if they can tell you tuned at the dealership like they can with mustangs). Ride height is good, for the power level 245's in the rear should be enough, and I'm not looking to add a lot of power. The shifter could use some firming up, but its smooth.

I had a 2011 v6 mustang with CAI, tune, and exhaust. I had a 2009 civic Si before that.

Damn, sick 5.0. Full BMR suspension... I can imagine it being annoying to drive around!

No, similar set ups went about 9.9-10.5 depending on drivers.

The BMR springs were only supposed to lower it an inch in the front.... It was closer to 2 inches and I was scrapping on everything.

m4a1mustang 06-16-2013 09:29 PM

I went with steeds sport springs on my '11 for that reason. Didn't want to scrape everywhere.

Congrats
 
I love driving the Z. I went with a better set of wheels and tires with super offsets. Get looks and compliments every time out.

Congrats and Welcome!
