It's hard to find a used sports car for a good value anyone. Prices are through the roof. But if you look hard enough, you can still get good value per dollar on certain cars. That's why I bought this 2016 Mustang GT S550. It's fast and fun, while not breaking the bank. Come along for this episode where I go to Texas to pickup this ride.

Glad to see you are going back to the track! I just switched to MCS suspension and love it. Let me know which gridlife event you end up doing!

Glad to see you back. Love the car, really love the color. Nice choice of travelling companions (guys in the back seat). They probably didn't talk too much on your drive home. I guess the "grippy brothers/sisters" do all their talking on the track. Looking forward to seeing that action.

Hahaha, yes I had plenty of "company" with the wheels/tires. Hoping to make more videos of this in action and decided to not do the usual "road trip back montage" since it's getting old :)

Get bg syncroshift for the trans and a shifter if the guy didn’t already set that up.

I've tracked my PP2 using 305 RE71R's and they are excellent, although Bridgestone has released a newer version. These are directional tires so you can only rotate front to back, unless you dismount them and flip the tire. Most have found 28 - 30 cold pressures are where you should start. The coil-overs will be a huge plus for track days as well as the bars for adjustment. The Getrag isn't horrible, it just isn't wonderful. Since you're not drag racing, powershifting is a waste so treat the transmission like you want it to last and I think you'll be fine. Some recommend replacing stock trans fluids with BG and I noticed smoother shifts after doing so. Do a brake flush, check the pads, set your track alignment and have fun. Seat time is everything.
@EatSleepDrive
@EatSleepDrive Рік тому
Appreciate the advice! I'm going to change the trans fluid next and see if I find any improvement.

Nice !!! How u able to bring car from different state ? Did u use last owner plate ? Not sure what to do for plate if I buy out of state from private owner.
@EatSleepDrive
@EatSleepDrive Рік тому
Every states rules are different. Most states will allow you to drive it home without a plate as long as you have a bill of sale and the title. But definitely check with your local laws because it varies.

Yea you have so much stuff in the car. It should feel a lot quicker once you take it out. Could also take out the back seat and the resonator if he already didn’t do that.

Yes the Mustang GTs are "touring" - they could cruise at 100MPH - depending on local laws and enforcement ... all day long. The BOSS or the MACH1 or "higher end" have more performance and variable (adjustable) suspension. IRS is great an all, yet from what I understand the old S197 with a 'Wats link" added + a few more goodies does very well and even stock/factor Mustang GTs are good performers (though not top track performers). I have tested the S197 and previous models on busy highways and interstates and they do perform, esp with the 5SPD or 6SPD manuals - even despite the flaws or lack of "total handling/track packages", though Ford does offer many, many variants and after market is difficult to choose from - from a reliability, dependability, performance and cost perspective.
@drx1xym154
@drx1xym154 Рік тому
The 6SPD manual is many, many, many Mustang GTs are OK - you have to shift them "just right" ... or they will lock you out (during fast, firm shifting) or grind... (rarer). It is fairly forgiving and will typically handle a good bit more power than you get from the factory. I would not call it a "chinese shifter" as it is better quality, generally - it is simply not the "best". You can make it better with some quick mods, I hear ... thought the Tremec on the top end Mach 1 (2022+ ) and the newer GTs (maybe it is an option now?) and definitely the newer Dark Horse are all great! The problem for me, buying a Dark Horse is it would need to be convertible and also, I would need to buy some land and build/buy a 3+ car garage + hot tub (time machine not required, time machine fuel is pricy!). Maybe someday ... I will get a garage out west and stack some thoroughbreds in that barn!

I know the salespeople talk a lot about "good" pricing, but when the sales guy delivered my 2017 GT he was so shocked that they even listed that car for $24k. That car lasted 30 minutes from being listed on their site, to me buying it. lol Definitely a great car for the price (and current market). Nice to see someone get the same car for the same price! Good pick up!
