9 is not my lucky number.

I was out tonight driving it pretty hard. When the roads are wet it's real fun fish-tailing around corners in 1st gear. Roll down the window for full audio effect. Funny to do when people are around. The TCS will kick in if you get overzealous (a TCS message shows up on the display too). It reminds me a lot of pulling the e-brake around corners in my Honda during the winter (minus the 300HP growl of the exhaust) 
Taking off fast from the line stinks too in the rain. The rear wheels will hop like crazy. It's annoying. I might get the control arms to stop it. I'm not a fan of burning out though. I did take the TCS off and do a 180 in a cul-de-sac, that was fun. The car still scares the heck out of me when you do stupid things. The sound from the exhaust makes it sound like the world is ending.
I do like how the car is quiet at low RPMs and screams when you launch it. I'm really liking this stock exhaust. If I got the Flowmasters I would drive the people in my condo complex crazy. This car purrs the a kitten at cuising speed and growls like a lion when you really step on it. The 5-speed is nice because if you want to make noise you can downshift. People with auto trannys are missing out

Congrats on finally getting your Mustang Dustin I agree with what you said I picked up mine on the 20th as well and I'm 42 Thursday I think I'll have to buy some Depends :scratch: I do like the diplay info you have so far with what gas left as well that Alarm at 80 kilometers Sorry I'd have to run out and change to English but I'd wanna drive more, except I worked 13 hrs then crused for a few more and its too much fun to go to sleep So I think sleep or die I chose sleep.

I did finally get on it once on the wet roads, and it hopped pretty bad too. Road was bumpy though. I wheel hopped it a little when I did a steep downshift to second! That scared me, but I think the TCS did it's job. The noises this car makes are just crazy. The only other cars I have heard make these noises are full blown race cars. Kind of cool really.
Drive on!

Jeez. A bunch of us got our cars this week and are all having the same luck this weekend. I feel your pain Dustin, but as was said earlier - at least you aren't like Bill and I with our new verts looking at the crappy weather.
And none of us lives next to each other. What a drag.
But at least we got 'em. We will have lots of sunny days to enjoy driving them this summer.
