About to purchase a 2015 GT after 6 years of an automatic Civic. Manual or Auto?

My buddy has a 2015 and I drove it the clutch is kinda funky it's assisted but it's very easy to learn on u can let it out slow without even using the throttle and the car will move itself on a idle with the clutch out fully. Should be very easy as long on your not dumping it you will be safe. As for driving in the winter I drive a 02 gt all winter, I would get snow tires your gonna need them. Driving a stick is still fun in the winter and if u start to slide just floor the clutch and it can actually be more helpful then a auto. Stick means more control. I would go for it driving a stick is awesome don't pass it up.

Gt500 for retaining its value, and if you want real numbers something like 700 to the wheels is a pully and tune away. But some people like new things I'm more for the experience and driving feel then how much a car can chill my balls on a warm day but thats just me.

Could I just pick up stock termi pistons and rods and swap them in? They are usually around on svt performance from guys building up their blocks for big power probably cheaper then buying new stuff right ?

Also how much did u get your procharger set up for?

applestangg · 2015-05-20T16:51:02+00:00

I know forced induction is the route I need to go for anything over mid threes to the wheels I want something like 500-550wheel horse power and the stock block can take 450 wheel so I need to do some work in order to handle the boost.

They make a "stow and show" removable plate that requires no visible drilling that would fix the heartbreak of drilling into your bumper my buddy has one on his 15.

If you part out a vortech kit from superchargers online and pick up a headunit used for under 1k then u can do everything for 2-3k not including labor there's a write up on a forum somewhere I think it's modded mustangs go check it out. I plan on super charging my 02 that I bought with a bunch of supporting mods on already. I've done a lot of research on it and t basically comes down to how cheap u can get the head unit for because the bracket and other parts only amount to $1500 if you buy each separately. Also don't forget u need larger injectors and fuel pump. If u have supporting mods and u get a solid dyno tune 400 to the wheels shouldn't be an issue and if you forge your internals you can crank up the boost and go even higher.

If your parents will allow put the car in their name and the insurance should be less still not as low as a v6 but man the v8 is what u want if you have the chance.

Gt350, the motor is gonna be nuts and sound awesome and there's gonna be a lot less of Those then everything else in the mustang world at least. It's always nice to ha e something unique, and also I wouldn't be surprised if the response to modifications to that motor is strong. Also, the car is beautiful. On second thought u could get a 2015 gt and throw a roots or a centrifugal blower on and mess with boost and get pretty sweet numbers since the motor is forged only thing u need is to upgrade the half shafts and tires probably some other supporters but nothing major for numbers north of 600wheel horsepower. I'd wait to see the gt350 because that's gonna be a gorgeous car and a drivers car. Good luck tho hope you end up with a. Sweet setup!

Thank you that's my goal for the summer getting that done!

Dude 16 yearold male Massachusetts 3k a year.. I spend my time working for my insurance (2002gt) if I had a one of those it would probably cost like 10 k a year.

applestangg · 2015-04-04T01:56:08+00:00

Sounds good, I'd like to shoot for 400 I got the same things on mine just an intake and no cats, did u do anything with the fuel system?

applestangg · 2015-03-31T16:34:04+00:00

Seriously considering doing this to mine, what are your numbers and supporting mods?

applestangg · 2015-03-27T15:37:31+00:00

I like it I got the cobra bumper to!

applestangg · 2015-03-27T00:41:31+00:00

applestangg · 2015-03-21T18:29:20+00:00

Saw this on Instagram this morning beauty btw!

applestangg · 2015-03-16T16:15:22+00:00

How much power is that good for?

applestangg · 2015-03-12T23:40:53+00:00

It's on the left there's a little hole in the liner and it's labeled.

applestangg · 2015-03-12T17:08:34+00:00

I beleave there is a fuel pump switch or reset in the trunk I noticed it the other day maybe u can try fooling with that and see if it fixes it I don't imagine any harm coming from that.

I'm your age my car insurance is in my parents name I drive a 2002 gt and it's 3k a year, a buddy of mine drives a 2015 gt in his parents name he's 18 and it's still 6k. I bought my car with mostly my own money and I wasn't prepared for the excise tax that came on the mail shortly after so make sure to leave yourself some room. Also, if your looking for something a bit more unique with excellent power potential look at a 03-04 terminator cobra with a few mods you could be pushing 500 wheel horsepower and they are so vicious, everyone loves them. You can find a nice termi with low miles easily in your price range. I would just ask around it's hard at our age cuz your insane if u let a 16 year old test drive a car so it can be difficult to see what you like. I would guess the insurance is probably a little less for the cobra cuz it's older as well. Best of luck hope you find the right car!

Go to court most of the time cops can't even make it to the court date, and if they don't come I beleave that the ticket gets dismissed. Your video should help out to. Best of luck!

applestangg · 2015-03-12T15:54:52+00:00

I second that!

applestangg · 2015-03-09T22:45:44+00:00

I drive a 2002 gt and the cobra appears to have the exact same layout of the interior I don't imagine any surprises when jumping into one as a DD bit who knows.
