I was at 25-26 mpg with 3.73s on the trip to ZDayZ, fwiw.

Sounds like a Brembo is a must. Ok... I will go that route. However, my sales person introduced me to a Race Red 2012 (new of course) that might be cheaper than ordering new. Your guys' thoughts on Race Red????

Red__Zed 09-21-2011 01:20 PM

Was my second choice of 2012 colors

Red370 09-21-2011 01:20 PM

I really like the race red, aside from the flash factor, its a great color.

yes sir, hold brake in, traction control button twice and voila. I like how the steering stiffens up a bit.

m4a1mustang 09-21-2011 01:23 PM

Yeah, base models do have Sport mode as well. It's just programmed a little differently on the Brembo cars.

Hunter green
Dark blue
Graphite


But the need to have a good shine to them

Good to know.

FromG2Z 09-21-2011 01:24 PM

Does the fact that race red has no "pop" or no flakes, a concern to you guys? or just the ferrari reddish type color is what draws you in?

So to get sport mode, just hold brake in then push tc button 2x?

Cool-good to know.


On the 12s, steering can actually be adusted without going into sport mode. Pretty cool IMO

I would have killed for a race red brembo package. The paint looks sweet in person.

Race red doesn't need a flake... its almost the perfect red.

And correct on sport mode.

yep, its kind of a rapid press, probably within a second of each other. Also, to turn all the traction controls off, stop the car completely, hold the brake down while holding down the tc button for 6 seconds. Dont recommend this though, i've almost died more than once.

thanks for input on TC mode... I did not know that. Then again, I am (will be) new to mustangs... lol.

As for red, I like how it looks, but I still think Kona is it for me. I have to get the deal straightened out... we'll see. And thanks everyone for input on non-brembos. I will x that out of consideration :D

Steve teach me how to drive the 5.0 :l

m4a1mustang 09-21-2011 01:36 PM

Definitely get the color you want. Kona is gorgeous in person. I love love love it.

I would rather write naked call options against AAPL than teach you to drive the 5.0. Less risky. :icon17:

Scared that you will total my car and get both of us killed. :happydance:

Red__Zed 09-21-2011 01:43 PM

That's not actually nearly as risky of a move as it would have been, say, last year

But I have confidence. Not as much as Dan, but that's an impossible level for anyone else to reach.

hey guys, when you said all GT's have the "sport" mode setting (brake in, 2x TC button) regardless of Brembo package or not, did you mean both the 2011 and 2012 still have this sport mode? or just the 2012's?

Both.

Burton, you got a 5.0 yet?
