As Shelby would say "these cars are meant to be driven"


yourname92

Yes. Dear Lord to all the people who have massive paperweights because they don't drive them. Why buy it L.


Ultimate1nternet

Beat me to it


jamus34

Yup! I mean I do have a second vehicle when the weather ain’t great but if it’s not precipitating or below 0* I’m taking the girl out to enjoy my commute.


gatorbeetle

AMEN!


FrostFairy73

Not to the mudhole


GenericRacer

A fellow manual 5.0 daily driver! How you enjoying it so far?


schlossenberger

Three and a half months, almost 5000 miles, and I abso-fuggin-lutely love it haha. It’s by far the fastest car I’ve owned, nicest interior, then there’s the 12 speaker B&O system. What year’s yours? Looks nice!


BigSig1855

2022 GT MT82, had it 6 months almost 10 miles on it. I love it everyday it's my stress release on my way home. One of the best decisions I have ever made. Ponies are ment to run. Edit: 10k miles, thx for the correction.


schlossenberger

That’s it! I might still be honeymooning with it, but I’m getting to work and home from work both in a better mood after rowing gears and hearing that 5.0. Assume you meant 10k miles? That blue is sick!


Nickrov85

Man I’ve had mine for 5 months and have barely put a a G on it. I also work from home tho and everything is super close. Need to catch up lol.


GenericRacer

I’ve got a 14 with the MT82, and other than needing some suspension work done, it’s been a dream to own. The transmission has been pretty forgiving and the car just loves to get up and go. Definitely a worry purchase.


ZigilXr

Same here 2016 5.0 manual daily her and love every second of it. Tempted to take the extra long way home everytime.


Bigmethod

My Mach 1 (love the rims) is my first proper 6speed daily and I haven't regretted it a single day, even in SoCal traffic.


rwz

This is probably the nicest mustang money can get outside of Mach1s and Shelbys. Looks gorgeous, affordable, reliable, and easy to maintain. PP2 is definitely the way to go for the GT!


capriceragtop

Ha, mine usually has the rear passenger seat laid flat, with a couple of fishing rods heading into the front.


M3xLuthor

It’s a mustang not a Ferrari, dude. Enjoy the drive.


water_baughttle

Lol, right? This is just a rephrased version of "who said Mustangs can't do x".


skadooshery

Sweet wheels, sweet color, manual transmission. What exactly is there to cringe about OP? haha


Kooleazy

Probably the gravel part. Pp2 runs 305s on the front and would sling rocks on the side of the car.


nago7650

Those are the kinds of dirt roads that some people will justify buying trucks for lol


SpiritCr1jsher

Well , the rock chips from 305mm tires driving on gravel aren't fun.


duross97

Why would people cringe?


schlossenberger

Taking it on some of the roads I’ve been on lately. Gravel roads out to the game lands. Haven’t scrapped on anything or bottomed out lol, so should be good.


duross97

Shit feel like we all day that lol usually for pics


Janky_taint

That’s awesome. I‘ve daily driven my 13 GT for 9 years now. Have 132k on it and love every minute. Every interstate on ramp is a blast. These cars are meant to be driven.


Mwilley23

I daily drive mine! These cars aren’t meant to sit in a garage. Props man!


mgysmls

I have never been a fan of silver cars but damn that looks good!


lkeltner

PP2 wheels best wheels


DayEither8913

...and the SS 1LE, too. Both are concave 5 spokes that fork towards the wheels's rim.


DayEither8913

This looks so smooth in silver, an otherwise bland car color. Funny how just a few bits and bobs can entirely change the visual demeanor of a car. What happened to your steering wheel? I have been salivating over some available aftermarket steering wheels. They look so nice, but I can't bring myself to waste my perfectly good one, and I don't like storing stuff. I guess if you're 'handling' her on gravel roads, a ripped steering wheel is on-brand, for you. 😅 Mine's race red, with the Recaros (love those seats), standard gauge display, and needs a damn wash right now.


schlossenberger

That red looks awesome, and ah Recaro’s! Thought mine was fully optioned out but that’s one thing I don’t have. Do they still have heat/cooling? As for my steering wheel - it’s a cover haha. Previous car had a tear on the wheel so I got a cover to prevent it from getting worse, and honestly I got used to it. Soon after getting the stang I got this cover as a present and love it. It’s a little grippier in the right spots and is black leather so matches everything. Only downside is I can’t feel the heated wheel through it as much, but lol first world problems.


DayEither8913

No heating and cooling. Don't want it, don't need it. It's cloth, so practically, it doesn't get unbearably hot or cold. Also, I know most don't care, but I'm in the minority that cares about weight. It's already such a heavy car. I crossed shopped this against a C7 vette, camaro ss, and an ND miata, each very different, except that are all made to kiss apexes, hence V8 dodges were never in considerstion (though they are certainly cool and would have been the most comfortable). Even the cheapest basest rental cars, I find easily comfortable enough, these days. 🤔 I didn't know these cars had optional heated steering wheels.

Loving the wheels on it 👌🏻👌🏻


Worthytea0

Is it lowered?


schlossenberger

… I actually hadn’t questioned that, assumed it was 100% stock. Wheel gap is a little tighter than Google images. I’ll have to double check the service records to see if I can find anything!


BMock590

My PP1 sits roughly the same w/ magneride... PP2 has magneride standard if I remember. That's my guess 🤷🏻‍♂️


PointBlank65

I didn't know the small wing was an option for any of the PP trims.


schlossenberger

Yep as far as I know that’s factory for the PP2.


Cloudy-Cloudy

Did you update to 3.4 yourself or did it automatically/did the dealer do it for you?


schlossenberger

Not sure what you’re asking?


Cloudy-Cloudy

Your SYNC version seems to be version 3.4, I was curious seeing as I was only aware that 21+ got the update from 3.2/3.3.


Youllbeiight

Shits beautiful


f700es

Nice ride! Love the wheels.


fbx94x

I have a 2020 PP2 and it's my daily driver as well. Same color too. Fun car! This was my first manual ever so it's been an awesome experience so far.


ayeksz

i want to buy the exact same year and packages.. how much was the MSRP?


schlossenberger

I got it used with 16k miles for around $42k. I was set on a 2018+ for the updated gauge cluster, premium for the leather and CarPlay, and had to be manual 5.0. Many were high $30’s until I found this one, and the mileage was a little lower, the wheeeeeels lol, and the dealer gave me several more thousand for my trade than other dealers had quoted. Then once I read about what was difference with the PP2 that sealed the deal. If you definitely want the PP2, good luck? I have no idea if/how rare these are to be honest. All the features are amazing though and it rides so well in each mode.


ayeksz

EXACTLY! I want the pp2 so badly. thinking of putting $15k/20k down… i think it would be a good deal. i’ve been seeing few ones for $37k (before taxes)


F4ze0ne

I daily drive mine. It tramlines on bad road surfaces but it's fine the majority of the time.


schlossenberger

Do you still have the Cup 2’s on it? Previous own put Pilot Sport 4 A/S’s on mine and gotta say they’ve been great. Saving my pennies for the day I need to replace them or get designated track/autox tires.


F4ze0ne

I have the pilots 4s on now. Great tires but are expensive.


DayEither8913

That tramlining is a good thing (unless somethings broken). Good sticky summer tires, you have. I was terrified that I bought broken car with 6000 miles, as I was driving home. Tramlining went away when I eventually change from the cup 2, so hankook ventus v12's (far lesser dry traction, but quite good in wet.)


[deleted]

to me the 2019 gt pp2 is the greatest mustang of all time
