Good evening Veeky Forums. I decided to finally pull the trigger on my first new car, and I made a deposit for a reserve slot for the 2018 GT350.

I've never driven a Mustang or any RWD vehicle before, so I'm planning to take the first year carefully and slowly while I learn to get used to the car before tracking it or anything like that. I watched several Youtube videos of people who already own one on what it's like to daily drive it, so I'm expecting lots of fuel stops, creeping police cars, and car spotters to hover around me at times. Does anyone here who owns one or owns a car in the same class/price range have any further advice for me when I eventually get it? I'm receiving it in a little over a year.

Pic related, it's the color scheme I ordered.

Basically just don't be one of those retards who gun it in front of crowds with zero practice in controlling the vehicle.

Oh trust me, I've seen a lot of those Cars and Coffee videos to know how infamous the Mustangs are at crashing from showing off. For sure I'll avoid that.

My recommendation if you're really worried about wrecking it is to buy the cheapest v8 mustang you can on Craigslist and learn to handle power on that, the gt350 will handle much better but if you learn on some clapped out beater you'll be better since its harder.
I'm mad jelly because I REALLY want a new gt350 with that glorious flat plane V8

This sounds like a good idea. Babby's first RWD can be a bit of a handful even at low power until you get the hang of it.

On the upside, it's winter, which means snowy parking lots, which are objectively the best way to get used to how your new car reacts and how to anticipate what it's going to do and learn how to control it.

A few of my friends own older MY GTs, so I'll ask them if I can test ride around in their's. Thanks for that.

It's not the car's fault. It's just that those people have never done it before yet they think they can control it perfectly first try.

This is bait

Yeah, that too. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the cause usually people trying to accelerate during a turn as opposed to waiting until they're straightened out?

Sorry to disappoint, but I'm not baiting. It's my first new car, but not my first car period. I'm just asking for advice ahead of time so I can avoid being an idiot on the road.

They want to powerslide to show off for the crowd. They just don't know how to control said powerslide. You can absolutely turn on throttle, RWD isn't some massive boogieman.

get a beater rwd shitbox and give it a whirl

Why a mustang with bigg engine? For that money why not buy a real sports car?

I don't know that I would simplify it quite that much. You do have to attack a corner a bit differently, especially seemingly easy stupid things like pulling out from a parking lot into traffic without spinning the tires or going sideways.

But really it's about getting used to what the car does when to the point where you can feel what it's going to do rather than being taken by surprise by it. Before too long you'll know intuitively that if you toss it around a corner and roll on the power you can expect to have to countersteer briefly to keep it on track even though you're not really trying to be stupid in public but just that's how the car naturally moves.

Ah okay, thanks for the tip.

I've always admired them, but I never had enough conviction or funds to get them. After 4 years of living frugally, I figured it was time to treat myself. Of course, being in the Army, there's a running joke about enlisted getting Mustangs, so I'm expecting that regardless.

What's the grand total?

>For that money why not buy a real sports car?
If you are about to tip your fedora and reccommend BMW just note the SS 1LE is a better buy for less money for benchracers.

Was gonna suggest a used viper or evora depending on how much OP is spending

This is bait. Fuck outta here

About $66,000. That includes the 7 year/75,000 mi warranty from the dealership, rust protection on the parts while it's being built at the factory, interior cloth protective layer, cabin sound deadening layer, the electronics package ($3,000), and the shipping and paperwork handling to bring the car from Michigan to Germany.

It's still heavy for a mustang end of the day, how is it better than a corvette?

I forgot to add, there's a gas guzzler tax for $1,300 that is "refundable" through taxes and any rebates/financial incentives that come up from today until I get the car next year will be added into the total cost.

Holy shit you're g*rman, you'll be drowning in pussy driving that around. OP the circumstances have changed, enjoy the car!

Nah senpai, you got me wrong. I'm a Korean-American that is stationed in Germany.

>happa in a fast car in the land of autism
Don't go on murder spree senpai

Knocking on wood here, but I haven't had any accidents so far, and I plan to keep it that way.

Hold up, happa? Nah, I'm full Korean. Just saying I'm American to clarify that I'm stationed in Germany. I don't have residence here.

>so I'm expecting lots of fuel stops, creeping police cars, and car spotters to hover around me at times.

you knew this and still decided to buy one
I do not understand some people

Well, I'm expecting those, but they don't bother me too much. Besides, the pros outweigh the cons in my case. I've always had a soft spot for Mustangs.

Don't bin it in the burgerking and you'll be fine

Oh fuck, Germany? Keep it away from the *future rocket scientists and engineers* and you'll be drowning in sauerkraut

I'll be leaving Germany a few months after I pick up the car, so no chance to get used to it enough to track it on the Nurburgring.

Get a Kia Stinger instead

You don't have to go full racecar hotlap mode, just cruise around taking it easy

Haha, it's because I'm Korean, isn't it motherfucker? JK, I see that spammed a lot here.

>For that money why not buy a real sports car?
I'm a GM fangirl and even I know what you're implying here is bullshit

>I'm a GM fangirl
No, you're just a dumb faggot. Don't (You) me again

You did good OP

>GM trash

>You did good OP
>spent 70k on a mustang
Lmao so hard

Poorfags gonna poor

The poorfag is you, maybe someday you can scrap that GMC for a prius

It doesn't matter to me. I absolutely love this car and I've been saving for the last 4 years, so why not?

Why would I want a prius???

good idea actually. Get a clapped out sn95 with the 4.6l for real cheap

Because you're a /pol/ tier soyboy

Good taste, fuck decepticons.

Soy doesn't reduce test levels and I don't lurk /pol/

Get educated you inbreed retard

>sound deadening

Yeah, I know. The pamplet just said it reduces road noise coming into the cabin by applying a dirt and abrasion-resistant coating on the underside of the vehicle. I'm not too worried about it.

>Good evening Veeky Forums. I decided to finally pull the trigger on my first new car, and I made a deposit for a reserve slot for the 2018 GT350.

Receipt on bread with date stamp or this is bait.

It probably works well, but if you want it then a Mustang may have been the wrong choice.

Why? It's not a Lotus or something. Some undercoating isn't going to change much other than adding some protection and making it seem more like it's worth $70k.

Because half the point is the noise.

Best I could do was a buyer's offer from the transaction and my favorite MRE. Sorry about the shitty quality, I don't have the latest and greatest smart phone.

I get what you're implying, that I won't be able to hear the delicious flat plan crank V8. I'm sure it will come through just fine though.

Noise of the engine maybe. Noise of sitting in a can gets old quick if you can make a substantive improvement without adding 500lbs of mastic.

>Meals Ready to Eat
does that taste like a dried up dog-turd with some seasoning like i heard it does? do (you) yourself actually eat them? assuming you aren't in combat you could just eat normal food.

Timestamp please

lol military

From an outside perspective, I get that you would think we only them in a combat setting, but they're frequently available during field exercises (where we play pretend war). I just happened to snag a box of them for myself since no one wanted them. Some of the MREs taste like absolute shit like Beef Brisket or Pork Patty. But Elbow Macaroni with Tomato Sauce is fucking awesome when it's heated up and it ALWAYS comes with a bag of Skittles, which is a nice commodity when you're out in the field.

The date on the paper says January 02, 2018.

Nice argument edgelord

Trust me, you think that's ridiculous, wait until you see the descriptions on military equipment. Oh and never buy into the "military grade" description. If things in the civilian world were military grade, shit would be breaking down all the time.

When they started selling $5 motherboards with military spec parts I knew it jumped the shark. Military spec on your components is supposed to mean something.

Something I don't need for damn near everything I build.

You gotta write Veeky Forums on it yourself for my Autism

No one cares about your opinion, poverty kid.

Good?

Very. Car looks great, hope you like it

I think I'll just keep this name and update you guys around March-May timeframe next year when I'm expected to have the car arrive in Germany.

Can't wait

You obviously do, it's seems to have made you very asshurt. Next time don't reply dummy

GT350 is a powderpuff when it comes to torque. Fantastic car, but it really lacks low-end punch that gets a lot of people in trouble.

You'll be fine. Good choice too

Actually using phrases like asshurt
Holy shit, you can't make this shit up.

Almost as cringe as saying "you can't make this shit up"

Actually saying cringe.
I'm done. Too many children on this board now.

>user spends his money on a shelby and sends GM cuckolds on a seething ragefit

Kek

Ok now I believe this thread isnt bait

Good job OP
I hope you love your car

Yes because you're Korean.

Thank you, thank you.

I got nothing against GM or Dodge loyalists. I actually considered buying the Challenger Hellcat a few months ago, but I decided not to. Still, watching the drama from the sidelines is hilarious.

post porn shots of your car when you get it.

Definitely.

Fucks sake people you’ll see a picture of it in about a year.
Just fukken relax. Then you can ask for bread if you feel the need
