I think they do but not by me. I love and hate Ocean Parkway at the same time. I love it because there's never traffic and it's so long and straight. Hate it because for the last few years, it's been swarming with state troopers. I haven't gone on Ocean Parkway once in the last 3 or so years without getting pulled over. I got pulled over in my G8, a PT cruiser rental, a fusion rental as well as my Shelby, 2 days after I got it. I got pulled over for "driving suspiciously cautious" once. The 3 state troopers had me pop the hood, they were looking under my car with flash lights and everything. That was with the G8. The other times were because they were wondering what I was doing driving on Ocean parkway at night (PT Cruiser), I got pulled over in the Shelby for no front plate, and in my G8 about 5 years ago for speeding. I gave up on Ocean Parkway. It's almost guaranteed that I will get pulled over if I go there.

I think I stalled 20 times! It did teach me well though.

OUCH!!! That's not something I'd ever want to do lol. It will definitely teach you well, but I feel bad for that clutch.

Must asap mods:
JLT oil separator
Clutch assist spring removal (Makes the clutch predictable, 30 seconds to remove)
Michelin MPSS 295s rear and 275 front

Congrats.

Those are all on the "To Do" list, especially the clutch assist spring.

Thanks!!!

OMG I just realized this, but the Mustang's have antennas? It's 2014
It also has the same 285s that my 1LE has and I'm about 550 crank....so 660 must be a joke, because mine are useless. Sideways city....come on.

Ya the skinnies on the rear are major complaint. Shoulda came with 305s and better LCAs. The rear end is easily overpowered in stock form. That's why I chose to begin my mods there. I don't need more power. I need more "usable" power.

Thank you!

Yes, I agree and really have no idea why they went with 285's. I'd love to know the logic behind that, because I don't see any.

That is an awesome car, congrats!
