2016/17 Question...

[Jack Raccoon!]

Are they any difference's/improvement between the 2 model years? Just askin'...

[Armen]

Mustang GT?

They removed the hood turn signals for 2017, which had just been added for 2016. Grabber blue and Laser Blue made an appearance for 2017, Deep Impact Blue and Comp Orange went away. And that's about it.

[Jack Raccoon!]

Hmmmmmmm.......

[Jack Raccoon!]

Working on it....

[CON VERT]

Coming back to the BLUE SIDE J/R ?

[fast Ed]

Nothing I can think of, other than what Chris mentioned, colour availability and trim packages etc.

[Jack Raccoon!]

Trying. Don't know if I will be successful...

You guys took a page outta my old playbook, "The Thread Jack"...

[ZR]

Just one old guy but doing what I can. Thanks for noticing. :)

[Jack Raccoon!]

Hope you secured your CPP last week...

Need to figure this car thing out.

If I bought a base unit, I would want to:

Lower
Exhaust
Gears 3:73 min. Don't know if they have 4:10 or whatever the current ratio's are
Wheels and tires
Shifter. Not sure if required though

It has been suggested by a good friend of this site I could order a base unit and add the track pack. This would give me:

The GT Performance Package includes:

• 19" X 9" (F) 19” X 9.5” (R) Ebony Black-Painted Aluminum Wheels
• 255/40R19 (F) 275/40R (R) Summer Only Tires
• Brembo™ Six-Piston Front Brake Calipers with Larger Rotors
• "Engine Turn" Aluminum Instrument Panel
• Gauge Pack (Oil Pressure and Vacuum)
• Heavy-Duty Front Springs
• K-Brace
• Larger Radiator
• Spoiler Delete
• Strut-tower Brace
• Unique Chassis Tuning
• Upsized Rear Sway Bar
• Unique Stability Control, EPAS & ABS Tuning
• TORSEN® Differential with 3.73 Axle Ratio

The package seems reasonable, but

Wheels are alright, but not my fav
Upgrade suspension and brakes, but not sure if low enough (looking at Eibach Pro Kit)
No exhaust change that I can tell

Thoughts?

[Jack Raccoon!]

If I go base model with 18" wheels, I can use the wheels for snow tires. I bought it to drive it, not store it...

[ZR]

If it was me, track pack plus Recaro's would be perfect.

[Jack Raccoon!]

And leave the suspension, throw on an exhaust and I'm back to being cool again?

[ZR]

Yes exactly that. Closer to stock ride height will make it a bunch easier to live with as a DD.
On the flip side, track pack with Recaro cars always sell well when it's time to unload.

[ZR]

Of course that means your buying beers next time....................right?
Been a long time since the infamous JR Hooters parking lot no hands burn out. :)

[Jack Raccoon!]

Jezzus, that was a lifetime ago. New car would have line lock lol...

[RedSN]

I'm back to being cool again?
Did you ever really leave JR?

[Jack Raccoon!]

Not voluntarily...

[Jack Raccoon!]

Looking for exhaust recommendations. I want loud, crackle and pop.

I also would like to have a head unit that has a hard drive to store music.

The exhaust is the same. I changed mine out to Roush axle backs and deleted the resonator. It's loud but I like it. But my car is an automatic with the paddle shifters and a few different modes so I can set it accordingly so it's quieter.

I don't have the track pack but I upgraded my front brakes to the 6 piston Brembos that come on that package. Drove'em hard at brake happy TMP last season and they were great.

I have heard that even the track pack suspension is too soft. I did the Eibach Pro kit with springs and sway bars. I really like it. Drives nice on the road and does a really nice job at the track too.

[Jack Raccoon!]

Aftermarket wheels...

[Jack Raccoon!]

Thanks Armen, I have the springs and sway bars on my Challenger and am quite happy with the upgrade.

[Armen]

Aftermarket wheels...

I have Niche GT5's... They look aggressive but there are better/lighter options depending on your price point.

A really good looking wheel with decent weight and price is the https://project6gr.com/product/project-6gr-19x10-19x11-5x114-3-3550mm-gloss-black-70-6mm/

They come in various finishes.
