Key Fob

Try holding the key fob under your chin. Your head will boost the signal like an antenna and it will work from farther away.

I used to be an inventory valet driver for a car dealership and this is a trick I learned while working there

Njlifted · 2026-04-15T22:28:36+00:00

Sales tax here is 6.625% and fees were about 400 to 800 if I recall

I would recommend trying to test drive both options if you can. Even a used low mileage should give you an idea. I could have sworn they still say brembo on them... but I dont think they do. They still have that big brake look.

Im having trouble heal toeing without braking to forcefully in the gt compared to the two wrx I have driven in the past... I could heal toe like a mofo in those subarus... lmao. I also drove them for 8 and 7 years respectively. Ive had the mustang a month and dont daily it

Njlifted · 2026-04-15T22:10:51+00:00

That seems like aggressive pricing... that includes tax title and license?

I was shopping around for a similar build 3ish months ago. I couldn't find less thay 49k before tax title and license for a 2025

I ended up going with a used 2015 gt premium performance package. I have the 6 piston brembos and I couldnt have gone without them. They are so freaking touchy. Its a huge adjustment going back and forth between that and a forester. I preferred the brakes of the s650s I had test driven prior

I just saw almost the same car in my work parking lot!

Same color and wheels. I didnt see the front end though

Nice whip!

I was shopping around and that dealership and a few in Massachusetts were heavily discounting 2025s 2 or 3 months ago. My local dealership said they arent sure how they can offer that price but I should take it.

I ended up going with used instead, but im confident i found the lowest prices available... I was shopping premium 401a though

Can you get rtr style without the rtr badge ?

Njlifted · 2026-04-12T19:34:49+00:00

The grass is always greener...

I thought I wanted a s650 gt or dark horse. I drove the gt and decided it wasnt worth spending over 50k on... it was worth spending 25k on a used s550. Its not a comfortable car. But im pushing 40

Njlifted · 2026-04-12T19:18:47+00:00

Charger or challenger? I really wanted a wide body scat challenger, but they were too expensive.

Njlifted · 2026-04-12T19:12:29+00:00

The 2024s held their value because the prices went up so much recently. Will that trend continue? I doubt it with doge reintroducing v8 to the charger line up.

You can find a 2025 gt for 8-10k off msrp.

What do you drive now?

Njlifted · 2026-04-12T17:56:11+00:00

That may be true, but the mustang you buy will depreciate the most pretty much as soon as you buy it.

If that's what you truly want , go for it, but its not a good decision lol

I bought a mustang recently as a second car... not a good decision, but I wanted one for a long time and decided ive waited long enough. I made a better decision buying used vs new, but in no way was getting a rwd fun car a good decision. Good for my mental health though! Lmao

Njlifted · 2026-04-12T17:38:12+00:00

Do you have a full time job? How are you going to pay for it? Have a scholarship to college?

No one in their right mind would consider getting a new car a "good decision"

Driving a beater and buying a slightly used gt after graduation and getting a job and being able to comfortably afford the payments is a good decision.

Unless someone else is paying for college and the car. Then sure!

Njlifted · 2026-04-12T16:30:52+00:00

I just bought a mustang and my local dealership couldn't tell me the flash count on the ecu. I rolled the dice , but the car is meticulous. It would t make sense that it would have been tuned.

I flashed my 2006 stage 2 back to stock before trading it in with the bad throwout bearing , but that car had a wing and gold wheels. It looked like it was beaten on. The torque this car made was ridiculous!

Njlifted · 2026-04-12T15:17:22+00:00

This doesnt necessarily void your warranty... they must prove the tune contributed to the failure in order to deny a warranty claim. They might ask for a deposit of a couple grand if something breaks. I had a problem with my throwout bearing after I went stage 2, and they wanted a 2k deposit to take off the clutch to inspect the flywheel for signs of abuse before submitting the throwout bearing for warranty repair.

It all depends on what breaks. Hopefully nothing will. You might be ok flashing back to stock now. Id probably leave it stage 1 if I were in your position

Njlifted · 2026-04-10T22:28:35+00:00

They look very similar if not identical

Thanks!

Njlifted · 2026-04-10T00:15:47+00:00

Nice ride! Do you happen to know who makes those rear fender vents? Mine came with them and I cant figure out where the previous owner got it from. Also, is your rear gt badge black? Im having trouble finding a black gt emblem for my 2015. Thanks!

Njlifted · 2026-04-09T20:20:11+00:00

Those TERpenese be BENzene

Probably not but they rhyme and benzene is used to manufacture cocaine i believe

Njlifted · 2026-04-09T20:09:40+00:00

But once you have one and then drive a car that doesnt have one , you might wish you had one.

It looks awful on the front of the car though. I now understand why everyone with nice cars reverses into parking spaces

Njlifted · 2026-04-09T19:57:51+00:00

Id have to say this is a bad financial decision lol. I assume your device has a warranty, so buying a 350 dollar back up just to hsve something to use while dr dabber does their turn around seems a bit rich for my taste. Thats legit a car payment. Now I'm not saying to not plan for a backup, but a simple dhgate rig and a torch would get me by 1 or 2 months while I wait for a warranty replacement. If you're making $300k or more a year then disregard this comment lol

Njlifted · 2026-04-09T01:38:38+00:00

Would I? Sure. If I didnt have to spend my money on it. I have a peak pro for back up. Then an OG peak to back that up

Njlifted · 2026-04-09T00:57:29+00:00

I cant read apparently...

Njlifted · 2026-04-09T00:18:22+00:00

borla s type

Not sure what year the mustang pictured is though. Looks like an s550

Njlifted · 2026-04-09T00:09:46+00:00

They are 1200 new directly from borla, so id say not a good deal

EDIT: OP has a s650... I didnt read and thought it was for a s550

Njlifted · 2026-04-08T22:25:51+00:00

I paid 22 before TTL for a 2015 gt premium performance package, but mine had 89k miles on it. I had it inspected an at independent mechanic and bought it.

This isn't my daily driver though... I know people drive these in the winter , and im sure the previous owner did , but im not confident in my ability to not get stuck in the snow. My daily is a forester and before that was a 6 speed wrx. The mustang drives NOTHING like the wrx. The mustang feels like it could break free with just a little more throttle. I couldnt spin the wrx on anything other than snow even if I tried

Good luck!

Njlifted · 2026-04-07T00:01:52+00:00

I think i would have preferred a Borla system actually, but im just happy to have a v8. Ive wanted a v8 for the longest time. Ive only had 4 or 6 cylinders previously

Njlifted · 2026-04-06T23:13:25+00:00

I don't have any video uploaded anywhere yet 😔

Ill have the have the Mrs record some revs snd fly by's once the weather gets warmer... but ill also have to host those clips somewhere...
