The Performance Pack is the BEST Choice on the New 2024 Ford Mustang GT

[@milamber8397]

Hoodscoop is standard on Gt model, you do not need performance pak. I got the GT premium California speacial w/Active exhaust few days ago (manual for the win!) Love it!

[@cookincars]

Thanks for the info! I was pretty sure I have seen it on all GT's so far. The color combo on the Cali edition is quite nice! Bonus points on manual as well 🤌🤌

[@JohnCampos-uw1rh]

The Cali Special is so sick, congrats! Are you in Nor Cal by any chance?

[@buster612003]

most automotive sales people have no product knowledge. I have been shopping for my GT and it amazes me how little they know about the products they are trying to sell. active exhaust is an option on any GT, this one a nite pony package, nice ride. I am about to pull the trigger on a Dark Matter Gray w/nite pony package. That package adds some cool contrast in color

I remove all dealer decals and frames when I buy my cars. There's another dealer by me that uses metal badges too 😅

[@bryangoldsmith1238]

The way this guy is ridding the clutch out in between gears like he’s taking off in first gear, tells me he needs to stick with automatics.

[@dxnes5067]

“these fly off the shelves” Not really surprisingly. A lot of inventory on 24’ Mustangs and staying on dealer lots 60+ days. Wait a few months and these will be even cheaper once 25’ Mustangs get allocated. Beautiful car

[@cookincars]

I always wait until they go down to 5k used in 30 years 😂

[@newfie-dean5803]

They don’t stand out from other cars like they used to. I remember when the 2005 Mustang came out. The street presence was like no other. The Mustang has not had that same effect since. Sure new ones are more powerful and perform better but looks-wise they do not have a WOW factor to them at all.

[@marcasswellbmd6922]

A Base with a Performance Pack has always been the best choice or the way to go as far as bang for buck.. And the dude is totally right about the insurance. They are expensive to insure year round and year after year. A lot of guys will park their cars for half the year and keep minimum insurance on them... I just had to call my insurance guy and raised my deductibles and lowered payouts.. It's a lot of money for a weekend car..

[@cookincars]

Whenever you buy a car, get the Vin number first and an insurance quote for sure

[@marcasswellbmd6922]

Believe it or not but the stock cloth seats that Ford uses are pretty nice and comfortable too.. They wrap around just enough to hold you in place and they are soft at the same time.. I found a Gen 2 2017 with 8,909 miles on her 6 months ago.. That's where the real deals are with a 1 owner, low miles, used GT's..

[@cookincars]

I personally prefer cloth over leather as well

[@Firog6004]

You're definitely right. I have the 24 GT base with the performance package. The cloth seats are awesome.

[@marcasswellbmd6922]

@@Firog6004 Very soft feeling for sure.. My buddy has a Scat Pack and an Older Foxbody and when he got in my car he was blown away by the comfort.. First thing he brought up were the Base Seats and how comfortable he felt in them.. I have a Nissan Juke Daily with leather heated seats and the nines and honestly I don't really care about all the new Tech.. When I am in my GT I barely listen to the radio or mess with Tech.. I don't even have my phone Bluetoothed in. I'm 51 so that kind of stuff does nothing for me... It's the power and sound of these cars that got me. And the feeling.

[@orlando1362]

GT with the Perf Pack and Darkhorse are the only ones that come with an oil cooler. Ford cheaped out by not having them in the other 650s . Simple or hard pulls without an oil cooler with eventually cook your engine and engine temps will be above 250.

[@cookincars]

Owners manual just advises this for break in periods: "driving new tires for about 300 miles (480 km). During this time, the vehicle may exhibit some unusual driving characteristics. For the first 1,000 miles, Ford recommends avoiding: Heavy use of the brakes and clutch, Driving at high speeds, Aggressive shifting, and Using the vehicle to tow"

[@8lakk5unshine]

If I could have gotten a Darkhorse Performance pack for MSRP I would have pulled the trigger. No dice. I got the 2024 GT Premium preformancee pack loaded with everything including mag ride for 3k under sticker and its better than a base darkhorse and a few aftermarket mods away from being a monster. These S650s are definitely good. All the coolers (trans, oil, dif) and everything you want out of a track beast. Just wish it had the tremmic, ugh.

[@cookincars]

The trans is definitely a dark horse selling point, but it sounds like you got the best choice plus a great deal!

For 62k you're in supra m2 rs3 territory or used zl1, z06, etc... all better options imo. Non premium performance pack probably best deal.

[@cookincars]

Why are those better options?

[@uptoolayte1]

​@cookincars M2 - better steering feel, more track capable, rs3 - better interior, quicker low-mid acceleration, Z06 and Zl1 faster and better overall sports cars. Supra - Better styling, lighter, quick turn in, better trans. This is all specific to me of course though I think there are objective reasons why these alternatives are better options.

[@robd1859]

The new five point O Is ugly. It needs the Dark Horse wheels and a front lip or splitter and it needs a better looking rear deck lid spoiler. It just looks two toned down. It needs to be a little more aggressive. . They should have made the Dark Horse body kit and wheels the regular GT add-on option. I get so sick of these one-off limited edition models that only come in a hardtop or you can't get them in a manual and they only make them for one year and then stop making them or they'll Jack the price of 10 or 15,000 dollars. I'm sick of it. And then they make the regular GT look ugly
