The Mustang is a really fun car to drive and I know I made the right decision in purchasing one. Space the weather here is still horrible. I want to get Precious out of storage the first weekend in May but that might be delayed a bit.

There's not too many shows I will be entering my cars in this year. I'm going to go to the shows and hang out, but I really don't need any more $15 plastic trophies and I probably will help judge too. Most likely I will be taking the Mustang to more shows than the Monte but it depends on the weather. There are a couple of shows that have a "future classics" best of class and I will probably enter the Monte in those shows. That is the only chance I have to win a "best of" because all of the shows in my area are geared more for older cars. I even tried to enter my Monte in the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals and I got turned down. Sometimes it kinda sucks to own newer "show cars".

Oh, is yours a 2014 GT ? I did not know they were out already (WoW)
Space,

It is a six speed.

I liked the way the Vette shifted better as well as the gear ratio. For cruising I am in 5th at 40 mph. It seems to handle pretty good. It has a higher center of gravity than the Vette and the weight is not balanced front to rear as good but to be expected since the transmission is in the rear of a Vette.

I took a corner pretty fast yesterday and the rear started to slide a little. The tires are much skinnier and not a sticky as the Vette. The Vette had performance summer tires and this car has all season.

This is all to be expected from a car 15k cheaper than the vette. Not having a payment makes it worth it to me. I will be making some mods down the road a ways.
