Got my Triple Yellow base Mustang GT today

I couldn't bear to part with my 2013 Base GHIG with Track Pack and Recaros, so she remains in the stable.

Now for the deets on the 2015 triple yellow GT. I got the 6-speed model with the 300a equipment package. The clutch on the 15 is lighter than the 13, the shifter is also pretty loose on it too. It's a little more daily driver friendly than my 13th. Being that this is the poverty package, it has the 18" wheels. The front brakes are massive compared to the non-brembo brakes on the 5th Gen. It handles a bit better with the IRS.

I test drove the GT Premium with the GT Perf package, but it was 10K more and I could do without all the bells and whistles. Overall I'm happy with the car. You get more bang for the buck on the 15 Models compared to the equivalent 11-14 models. I like the pushbutton start, the bluetooth radio with USB connection. My 13 Base model didn't come with any of that. I'll post pics tomorrow when theres daylight.

The paint is called triple yellow tricoat. I haven't seen it in the sun yet, but I'm sure at different angles you'll see three different shades of yellow.

IIRC ! Tricoat is pretty much Ford's new paint process for replacing the old clearcoat metallic that was previously used on Ruby Red, Kona Blue and Sterling Grey

But they are not discounting the 15's all that much are they? So bang for the buck has to go with the 14's for now.....if you can find one.....

Tricoat in Ford's late model vehicles has meant a color coat, pearl coat, and then clear coat.

I wasn't comparing current prices. I was merely referring to the price of a 14 Base GT when it was new and the 15 Base GT now. The 15 Base GT has more standard equipment than the 14 Base GT with minimal price increase.

I guess that makes sense. I really couldn't notice in color changes at the different angles. The GHIG has that effect. In the sunlight with different angles you could see the yellow gold metallic in the paint.

Very nice color choice, as I'm really liking triple yellow and ruby red the most, followed by DIB
