Very nice, congrats! The smell is probably oil/residue burning off, the clutch has a very distinctive smell.

 

So you wouldn't think that'd be it? I feel like it shouldn't be as I'm being very careful with it.

I went from like a 150hp automatic fwd sedan to this and the torque is crazy, chirping third. I can't image the crazy torquez on a 5.0 let alone a gt500

 

Congrats on a very cool and clean ride!

 

Machine oil, it it is on the Exhaust for one.
Congrats on getting the Stang, Looking good.

I will be down that way at the end of the month, might be coming up with a GTG in the Orlando area or at Fantasy of Flight 10/27.

 

When you guys come down you gotta let all us Central FL guys know. Maybe get a photo shot of all our 'stangs together.

 

There's at least one other thread specific about the burning smell, cited even after revving at a standstill. My new one was definitely doing that too. Now with just over 500 miles, I haven't noticed it in a while.

 

I remember the day I picked up my first manual tranny car, a 1979 Mustang Cobra v8 (with a whopping 140 HP) and 4 speed. I wanted to hide someplace....I was the only customer in the place when I picked it up and I think I killed it 8 times trying to drive out of the dealership. The sales guy even came out and ask me if I needed any help. Don't worry, you get to the place where you are shifting without even thinking about it.

 

Looks fantastic, enjoy!

 

Congrats on the new ride ...

Did you used to have a Mopar? Is that why the screen name?

I ask because I traded in a 2007 Charger R/T AWD for my Mustang ...

 

Congrats.. Looks like its similarly specified out like mine. Did you get the comfort package?

Good Luck with her. Even though I have driven stick for 99% of all my rides the clutch was a bit to get used to after my TT grabbed low and this grabs high.. Don't worry even seasoned manual owners can stall once in a blue moon.

 

Congrats - very, very nice

 

About time!! Looks good Mopar

 

Thanks for all the compliments, regarding the questions though

Nope my username is mopar? just as a joke, I feel like old mopar muscle is where it's at but now they're dead. They made a legendary car(dart) into a sedan hybrid like come on...

Yeah I didn't stall at the dealership thank god but it's all part of the experience, backing up is still a bit weird and I stalled once doing that. Yeah it's not clutch smell, apparently it's all normal thank god!

 

Every single person that trys to drive my car stalls it because they start in third, afraid of reverse to the left. I did it too at the dealership on the first test drive. Felt sooo silly.

 

Nice looking car. Congrats!

 

Take it to your local Chevy service department they are experts at donuts!

 

Great Looking car!
The Best Color Too
haha You will get a stick soon

 

Hehe I had a friend that wanted to take a test drive of my car. He never drove a 6 speed before. So he had to back up from the parking spot. He was already nervous before hand. So when the car went forward instead of reverse both of us were surprised. I assumed he knew. Good thing he didnt hit anything up front. He said screw it not gonna test drive anymore.

 

Will Do David, my Friend from Jacksonville with his 2010 GT will be down in Orlando the 27th and 28th of the month.

 

Your friend is from my neck of the woods.
