I am not exactly a newb, but haven't actually posted in here about my deal and pics so here I am.

I bought the car in mid February and dear god it started to snow in Chicago area something feerse as I pulled off the lot. On top of that this was my first manual trans car. I just learned how to drive that mourning and within the first 30 minutes of owning the thing I had to contest with Icy/Snowy weather, stop and go traffic on the interstate, rear end that likes to slide around, and being completely new to Manual Transmission. I got home ok, but man i was shaken up. Probably the worst driving experience I have ever had, but I don't regret it. It's not the cars fault, the G is phenomenal.

Now that I have had it for a month and a half I'm loving the thing even more. I got some pictures that I attached below.

Sweet... mod that ****!

 

yuppp! FAST!

 

Looks good.

 

Glad you made it home safe that day you bought your car....that would suck if anything happened the first day you bought the car!

 

Oh yeah, I was crapping bricks on my way home that day. Just took it slow and was alright. Within the week following my purchase I saw 3 accidents. One happened right across from me when I was waiting to turn left.

 

Not a bad stable you've got there, willizm.

 

Can you give me a comparison of your mustang and G, in performance?

 

Mustang GT is automatic and as of right now all stock. Same for the G, all stock but manual.

I notice that the mustang has a lot umph off the line, but it seems to make more noise when over 70mph then actual performance. The g feels like first doesn't get you anywhere and that you have to shift up within a second of starting to move as minivans will pass you. I'm not launching, but reving to about 1k and letting off the clutch. As soon as it catches I give it gas up to about 2200rpm before shifting to second. I'll take second up to 3500-4k and then when I get into 3 and 4 thats where if feels like this thing is flying.

I love both cars equally but differently. The mustang just feels cool, big, and nastie. The G has a feel of refinement and speed to it, a real slick ride and feel. It would be a hard choice between the two if I had to make it.
