Took mine out for a short ride to meet a fellow local forum member. The only issue that I had was trying to get the smile off my damn face when I wind it out pretty tight with it in track mode + long tube headers Love the way the exhaust note bounces off everything that I'm passing

Must be a strange phenomenon.. I started my C7GS today and it made it all the way to work without issue.. except the damned permagrin I can't get rid of when I am in it..

My 2015 Mustang GT MANUAL, with every option you would find on a Lexus has been bulletproof for the last two years and 23,000 miles. Fried the back tires twice, but otherwise bulletproof. Who would have thought those dang American cars would be so reliable! Lol!!!


Time to trade in that lowly SRT for the WK2 Hellcat.

OK, after much worry I did the same thing. Got 'er out, started the engine, then drove onto the road. Damned if it didn't do great. No problems whatsoever. And, I even enjoyed the ride.

I have driven my 2014 Stingray daily since April 2014, and it has not been back to the dealer at all. (not even for the oil changes)

I drove mine from my home in north east colorado to Steamboat springs and back. Mine didn't break down either. We went up the Poudre canyon and I did notice some squeeling when we went around corners. I thought it was the tires loosing traction but I figured it out.That noise was just the wife.

You have never had your oil changed? Smart man doing it yourself!

I don't know, but there's anything wrong with working perfectly mine's a basket case. It's six months old and not one issue except a minor paint anomaly and a broken air dam bracket, both of which I fixed easily myself. No complaints here as I knock firmly on wood. Great car.
