  1. I've not yet, I want to naturally reach 15 posts before I post in there. Do you know why yours was pushed so long?
  2. Ok. Did you get PP2? I'm worried that mine is going to end up pushed out to December or something like that (an exaggeration) because I placed my order June 14 and COTUS has been blank.
  3. I wouldn't be surprised if they release a new kit within the next year or so.
  4. Yeesh. Ok, THAT'S a bit steep.
  5. I absolutely love my Ranger, but it's time for it to go, and I can't wait to see the new Bronco, I might end up with 2 car payments. Some people are so stuck in their ways that they can't see the forest through the trees.
  6. When I was deciding what car to buy, it came down to something simple, yet immeasurable. Smiles per mile. Which car is more engaging and has more theatrics. I like to work for it, I like the car to move around a bit. That few extra 10th's of a second, while a lot, is not enough for me to give up the manual in this case. If we were talking about something like a Porsche PDK box, my opinion would be the other way, it all boils down to the car and transmission combo.
  7. I figured that's what I'd have to do if I didn't like it, the 8" sub had me do a bit of a double take, but speakers and installation are relatively inexpensive, I'll just have to look at the amp situation in the car.
  8. I've ordered the B&O system in my 2019, I just hope it stacks up to the 485 watt Pioneer setup that came in my Ranger. That stereo has spoiled me pretty badly.
  9. Awesome, thanks! I figured the order guide would take precedence but just wanted to make sure.

    Howdy!

    I stumbled upon the forums here in hunt for my new car. Unfortunately, the hunt proved ineffective in the Texas area, so I'm having to have a car built. Before we get to the new car, a bit of history on my Ford history. My first Ford was a 1984 Bronco with a 351W and a 2 barrel carb (I thought it was quick, but it was anything but) I love that truck, it was bought new by my parents and they've still got it, my second Ford was a new 2002 Ranger Tremor that I still own but is getting traded in on the new Mustang. In 2014 I bought a 1986 Mustang GT that had a GT40 aluminum top end and practically the entire Maximum Motorsports catalog thrown at it along with a T-56. I sold that car back to the gentleman I bought it from, and now I understand why he bought it back. MAN that was a fun car, not particularly fast at only 275 RWHP, but it didn't have any problems getting out of its own way. On to the new car I'm having built, it's a '19 GT Premium in Velocity Blue, 401A, PP2, Active Exhaust, and B&O stereo. I live about 45 miles from MSR Cresson so I hope to have the car out there more than a few times, I've just got to wait until September or October to get my hands on it, the wait is almost unbearable. I was about 30 minutes from buying a GT350, but when I test drove a used one they had on their lot, I found that the seats were absolutely too small for a man my size (6'5, 250.) The backs felt great, but the seat bottoms were far too small, I felt like I was sitting on top of one of the bolsters. With me ordering the car, not only do I get 9/10'ths of the GT350, but I save just under 20 grand in doing so. I will say, if you've not heard a GT350 at full song in person, I'm here to tell you it's a thing of glory, better than any sound clip you'll hear on the web.
  11. I've ordered myself a 2019 GT Premium with a ton of options and PP2, but in the new build and price it's got the same tires listed as the PP1 on there, yet the order guide has the 305/30/19 Sport Cup 2's. Which do you think would take precedence, the order guide, or the build and price?
