On some of the earlier builds there was a clutch stayout issues. Basically, in some WOT-shift instances the clutch wouldn't come back off the floor (cars built before June '10) and Ford issued a TSB to fix it.

The funny thing was all the service requests mentioned that it only happens at the track. Seems like any other manufacturer would be like, "well, that's outside the scope of the vehicle" but they went ahead and issued a TSB. There is also a TSB out there to revise the tune for people who like to Auto-X but want to stay in the stock class.

I was looking on truecar and saw that I could get a GT for a fairly low price.

Temptation is awful.

Non-premium Mustang GT - $26,935

That's a LOT of bang for the buck!

The engine alone is worth the price of admission. I threw an exhaust/intake/tune on mine and its a completely different animal, its nearly impossible to keep the stock Pirelli's on the road at part throttle, I'd imagine i could pull a high 11 pass on DR's easy.
