My New LOVE;). 2012 GT Premium

Hi all I just joined this forum. And wanted to say hi I just got my new GT last night. And I am in heaven. It's black with the brick red/cashmere interior. I am getting it striped this week. I do have a question for u guys. Can you give me some advice on tuners for this car?. The pros and cons? And what would be some good mods to start off with? Thanks Rick

Congrats! My first suggestion is exhaust - I have the Roush and love it but it is loud!

Add for tuner, I'd drive it a couple thousand miles to break it in and determine if you still want a tune then. Pros are power/throttle response. Cons are possible warranty denial/issues with the tune. I'm not tuned but if or when I do I'm going aed.

It's a manual. And tint is a good thought. Thanks.

I was thinking of exhaust as one of my first mods,, Is there any big differences with axle back vs cat back? I like Borla my friend has it on his vette, and it sounds awesome.

NO WAY! I take it you bought that very fine ride at Orange Ford? I was literally a signature away from buying that exact car from **** Cooper there, ended up bringing a kona blue one up from South Hampton instead. Looks great, glad it found a good owner, haha

EDIT: I'd also like to point out that the forum censored my Ford salesman's name... short for Richard... four letters, hahahaha

Yea I got it at Orange Ford. Do you live around here?? It would be cool to go ride together I fell in love with the color combo. I got a good deal
On this GT. it has nice options compared to a base premium and I picked it up for less. I'm happy .

It was hard to walk away from that one, I ended up with the exact same options minus the aluminum shift ****, save for the different color combo. I'm from Cambridge, about an hour north of Albany in the Battenkill Valley, but currently finishing out school in Providence, RI. I come back upstate fairly frequently, if it coincides with a Guptill's cruise in or something we should definitely go!

Congratulations Rick, and welcome to TMS!

Tomorrow will be 5 weeks that I've had mine. I love the car.

If you're concerned about your warranty, be careful what you modify. The first thing I want to do is get my windows tinted. Next will be a set of Weather Tech floor mats for the front.

Ford can tell if it has been tuned. Even if you put it back to stock.

Hahaha, no way, well if you're in the Providence area next Thursday, the 17th you should come to the Bass Pro cruise in at Gilette Stadium in Foxboro. It's always a good time. Not to thread jack, but this is a link to the one I ended up with:

I feel ya' - I work with a gentleman named Richard Johnson.

Anyway, nice ride and welcome to TMS! Your first mod should be seat covers! I stopped after that.
