I went in for a test drive and left two hours later in a 2015 Magnetic Metallic Mustang ECB Premium with the Saddle leather interior, 6 sp paddle shifted auto. So far, this is one sweet machine.
Congrats! Hope this Mustang treats you right like theh '13 SHO :thumb: An updated pic of your stable when weather allows would be nice!
Very nice!
Back that thing out into the sun, let us see her shine.
Rich
Congrats! I'm tempted to trade the MKS for a EB 'Stang but the MKS wins for the winter weather we have here in Michigan unfortunately, or any other sports car really :/
(Except for a GTR...)
Thanks everyone. It was 9F and blowing snow (7 below zero) when I took the Avatar photo on Monday. The weather is clearing looks to be nice tomorrow, so photos may be in the works. No snow driving yet, but the car comes with a Wet/Snow setting along with three other "driving Modes" and three settings for the adjustable steering. And, no Pirelli tires, but GoodYears that had fairly positive write ups on Tire Rack.
One thing I noticed today, it is hard to keep your foot out of it. She is very responsive and once the RPM's climb, sounds very nice. Cruising on the Interstate, with only 111 miles on her I was getting 28.9 mpg at 75.
Hate to do this to you so soon but I just saw this posted.

Fuel supply tube assembly replacement recall on 2.3 ecoboost.
Rich
I guess they released the beta-version of the fuel supply tube by mistake. Oopsie.
^^^haha...
See the one on there about rotor covers...that's funny
Rich
let's hope it's nothing like the 1.6 they put into the fusions & escapes. now the 2.0 that i have has had no issues.
Is the 1.6l a problematic engine?

engine fires on the 1.6, stopped putting them in fusions.

Fuel supply tube assembly replacement recall on 2.3 ecoboost.

I just checked My Ford and there is no recall listed for my car. It was just built, so I am hoping this was caught on the line and corrected, and it was the early builds that have the problem...wishfull thinking. Ford was good about posting the fuel module recall for the SHO on line, and I am hoping not seeing it is a good sign.
That's what I've heard too. Early builds only affected.
Rich
Well, drove to the dealer this morning to pick up my spare tire kit (nice alloy wheel - Not the black steelie with yellow warnings all over it) and, talked to the service folks. They ran the VIN and said my EB was not involved in the recall. So, I went ahead and paid for it :) Had the salesperson sweating for a while since I had not made the payment or received the title papers from them. So far, all is good. Took the wife to lunch in the Black Hills, about 100 miles round trip, and averaged 31 mpg for the drive. She handles the twisties really nice with the sport mode engaged for steering.
Keep us filled in with the adventures as they come your way :)
I am not sure how many have seen the new Interior. I opted for the Dark Saddle, Premium Trim:
Looks nice, alot better than the hellcat in my opinion
Rich
Pretty Sweet Looking!!
Just a short update on performance. we took her to the Badlands today. It is about 200 miles round trip. Nice day, in the high 40's. Averaged 35+ mpg at 75 on I-90.
The Badlands is a loop from Wall, SD back to I-90 East, about 40 miles. Put her in Sport mode, to include the steering. This changes the whole car, dramatically. It was a great drive, with lots of twists, hills and valley's, plus Big Horn Sheep. You do have to be careful, this car responds now when you hit it in Sport. Paddle shifters are alright, but still a little slow. It actually drove better in full auto. Nice growl from the engine. The weather started to turn and we now have a Winter Weather Advisory for the next two days. But today...here are two photo's:
Great testimonial to job well done by Ford :) Nice pix :thumb:
Congratz!
Beautiful! (The car and the scenery)

No listing of the SHO/MKS in there but I'd think they'd be included.

Rich... We should start a campaign for it. I wouldn't change, but it could be useful for new owners in warranty and for service checks.

Agreed...the option of more power that is left in there combined with warranty coverage would open up the community as a whole, and in turn maybe spur some aftermarket action too. But if they change our power plant in the future models I think we might be dead ended quite quickly with aftermarket support, being left with custom one offs and very expensive.

Agreed, but the SHO is pretty close to "one of" when you buy it. I have worked in the development of every mod I have except lighting and the tune. The price for a unique sleeper I guess.
I'm supposed to complete my order of my mustang in the morning, but now that I see the new sync 3 will be out later this year I'm going to hold out. Reall glad I saw the announcement or i woulda felt pretty jipped. Honestly I'm kinda sad thinking of giving up the sport, but I've always wanted a mustang and I'm about to realize my dream come true. Will have to update later this year when I place the order.
How are you going to fit the fam in the stang?

You buy the Mustang and see them in the rear view mirror!
Shodded, that's funny you say that because at first my wife was all letting me dream, but then come number crunching time and she brought that up. With baby on the way all of us wouldn't fit in the mustang. She has a 5 seater Chevy sonic. I may need to postpone even longer :(
