Traded in our 2010 GT convertible for a 2014 GT convertible

Traded in the Mrs's 2010 GT convertible for a 2014 Gotta Have It Green premium GT convertible while we were on vacation. The 2014 is a nice upgrade over the 2010. Feels more planted and sure footed. Cowl shake is virtually non existent compared to the 2010. Also...way faster!!! The Mrs. loves it.

You need more rubber on those wheels though, profile looks too low for my tastes

That is correct!! The 2010 was a great car. The dealer also had a black/saddle/brembo 2014 vert on the lot. Fairly rough shape. Our new one was driven by a Ford executive in Ontario (his name was on the window sticker details, found him on Facebook and found pics of the car there)and was in great shape. The dealer had the wheels swapped over before the paperwork was even started...I've bought several cars off them over the years. They are great guys to deal with.

I did two 0-60 mph pulls with the Mrs in the car this evening. First pull was a wheel spinning 4.9. The second pull I rolled in to the throttle off idle and pulled a 4.6. Not to shabby. I can't wait for them to finish repaving the track so I can take her out for a few passes!!

My wife loves her white '13 V6 Vert... to each their own

Congrats! The GHIG is quite sexy. Convertible puts it over the top! Maybe we can meet you all in Tucson in March for the 2015 MCOA meet!

I don't know how these things work. I live in Tucson. I heard Mustangs are involved. I hope to be there.
