New to the forum. Just took the plunge to the Dark Side with my first Mustang. Took possession of a 2018 GT premium on Thursday and couldn’t be happier. Kona Blue, performance pkg and 6 speed. All I can say is wow, why did it take so long.

It takes a while to convert to the dark side, glad you finally made it!
Check out the S550 forums and post some pics of your new ride there too.

Welcome to Stangnet.

Yeah buddy, that new 5.0 with direct injection! That’s the hottest thing since the coyote first came out. BADASS engine.

Just over 300 miles today. Trying to give it a good break-in and keeping it pretty tame, but man is it impressive. I love it so far. I am going to San Francisco from Reno on Sunday with my Daughter to see a Giants/ Dodgers game (tried to raise her right but she became a dodgers fan despite growing up in a giants fans house) should hit the 1000k mile break in point this weekend then I’ll feel better about putting it through its paces. Scheduled the first (free) oil change with the dealer next week.

I know it would be a little tough for me to keep my foot out of it for the break in period.

Trip to a baseball game with your kid, that’ll be nice. Have fun.
