I'm picking up my new car in 2 days! Cannot wait to post pics...




2000 Mustang GT
75k Miles

BBK Stainless X-Pipe w/ High Flow Cats
FlowMaster Catback
Hurst Short Throw Shifter
3.73 Gears
Cold Air Intake
Performance Chip (w/ Multiple Settings)
Alpine Head Unit w/ iPod Hookup

It is red, and has to be the most shiny car I have ever seen. This guy is in his mid 30's, always kept it in the garage, and first owner before him was older and also kept it garaged. The car has no scratches, and looks showroom clean from the engine bay to the interior to the exterior.

It sounds really good. I heard bad things about Flowmasters but I think they do sound nice. And I really like the short throw shifter.

You can tell this car has not been beaten on. Its in great condition, which is what I was looking for.

I'm not sure what the performance chip actually is, or how effective it is. There is a switch with 4 settings (Great Gas Mileage, Better Gas Mileage, Gas Mileage, Power 93 Octane) which is in the glove compartment.

He lives in Delaware about an hour away from my house... oh yeah... I've never drove stick The ride home should be interesting.

 

Sounds great. The short throw and gears would be 2 things my car needs. Congrats man!

 

Well at least you got a v8 to drive the stick in.

Just don't dump it.

Remember reverse is longer than first so backing up you gotta clutch more.

Remember that you dont always have to give it gas to take off, just ease out and let it take off on its own.

And mustang 5speeds are soo much harder than my s10's 5 speed cause the gears are soo close.

 

Just please dont make a thread saying "i wrecked my new gt without insurance on the drive home". Please make sure you can drive it well, otherwise dont. I dont wanna hate, just saying. Otherwise congratz man, sounds like a good deal. Lose the dronemasters though and go for borla

 

Didn't you already get a red GT. Did I miss something and you get another one?

 

Awesome, congrats on the car. It's going to make you love Mustangs all over again with the new power and sound. I'm probably getting gears/tune at the end of the summer and make a world of difference in the car.

A buddy and I nearly wrecked his '02 Z28 camaro only two hours after buying it driving home from Dallas. Trucker pulled out in front of us. We slid all over the road and into the median, coming a fist width from hitting the center median divider.

 

Thanks guys I can't wait to pick this thing up tomorrow

And spike, I had one before but it had 135k, was auto, and only had cold air intake. And some problems. And i sold it for 6200 and I'm buying this one for 6700.

Reverse was killing me dude... I only drove it home that night (an hour and a half ride), and stopped at my friends, but when I went to back it up out of my friends, then at wawa, it gave me serious trouble. It was really embarrassing.

When don't I have to give it gas as I let go of the clutch?? Down hill? I sometimes had issues from a red light and a hill.

 

I'm just glad to hear you didn't wreck it. Driving manual in a mustang is a lot different than any other car I can tell you that, but you will get used to it quickly.

 

go in a big parking lot and mess around till you get the feel for giving it gas and not giving it gas, driving a v8 stick is very easy you all most dont have to give it gas on flat spaces.

when it comes to hill driving you should go find a road that no one drives and learn there, you will have to be alot faster letting the clutch out or your going to roll back in to some one.

if your on a hill you could all ways pull the hand brake then let the clutch out and give the car gas once the car grabs take off the hand brake.


have fun and be safe and all ways remember to push the clutch in when your stepping on the brake or your car wont stop.lol

 

lmao that would not be good... haha. I think thats my problem with reversing - I've been in small spots where i need to turn around, and I dont want to press hard on the gas, then I don't back up enough anyway... I just need some more practice.

Good idea with the break, I didnt think about that. And it sucks, because Pennsylvania is full of hills

 

The handbrake method works wonders on hills when you're starting out driving a stick. You will get used to it, just practice in a place where nobody is around.
