New Track pack owner

Hello all,

I am coming from an Focus ST that was having major issues with the sync system, Ford hooked me up and now I am the proud owner of a new 2014 GT Premium Track Pack.

I am coming from mostly Subarus, and mostly Autocross.

here are some shots of the new car

Haha thank you, I am a photo ***** so expect a lot. Hopefully I can get some local Mustangs into the mix to change it up. Hell the only reason I didn't take pictures day one was It was New Years eve and the fiance was waiting for me

And as far as enthusiast, I like to think of myself in that light. I love cars, German, Japanese and Murican! and maybe Italian when they aren't self-immolating

Yes it is! I am trying to slowly learn her ins and outs on some back country roads, nothing crazy just trying to get a feel for the old girl before I kill some cones. And thank you!

Too bad the ST was having issues, I got to drive one (and a Fiesta ST) through an auto-x course and it was a blast.

Good choice on the TP GT though, it's a great choice. Hope you get it out to a road course, it's quite capable there! The track package is great...

Congrats & welcome

It was a blast to drive, and had some very odd characteristics when pushing it through a corner. The little bugger would Understeer in and oversteer out, first time I've ever experienced that in a FWD car.

I can't wait to take it on the track, unfortunately I have a feeling I won't make it before I leave for Japan. Thank you !

I'd say you're a little more race ready than I am. What Subaru's did you have?

This was my STX car a 2013 FR-S

Bet that FR-S was a blast... also got to drive one of those several auto-x laps and that thing is so well balanced but also tail happy. Really wish they gave it more power, it would have been a top contender. 200 hp wasn't bad, but it needs a bit more in my opinion

Anyways, enjoy the Mustang!!

I dialed out most of the tail happiness with the coilovers and some camber adjustment but It needed to be a little more neutral, was going with sway bars then i decided to sell it. I am just too tall to daily a car that small. But yes it was a blast, I loved it especially in the canyons! And I had some power mods that lived it up a bit

Thanks, I am already loving the Mustang
