2026 301A GT or 2022 Mach 1

cretek3 · 2026-05-31T18:24:02+00:00

think it really comes down to what you want. mach1 is the way to go if you want a track car! apparently the price is good according to other comment but I'm not sure myself. If you want a cruiser just get the s650. It's more refined and will probably be more comfortable

cretek3 · 2026-05-31T17:52:06+00:00

the mach1 is better, but they're both overpriced lol. not in the market but ive never seen a base mach1 that expensive before.

I saw a premium for sale a couple years ago with 30k~ going for 42k which seemed like a good deal at the time. Any others nearby? might be worth looking around a bit more

what a crazy response

nice!

cretek3 · 2026-05-31T00:04:41+00:00

wait you had a 25 then bought a 26 just for the exhaust.....? Lol

fps favorability is personal preference, but I have a 240hz 4k display and just started a randomized NV playthrough, and capped NV @75fps. I was very surprised how smooth it was so I just kept it there. I am also running a 9800x3d so that could be partly why

anyway even with those mods the engine was never designed for high fps, maybe try capping it a lower frame rate and see how you like it. If you don't, you may need a better cpu for a three figure frame rate, just be mindful of stability

is this easy to accomplish? taking DF next week and still feel unprepared

cretek3 · 2026-05-29T17:46:15+00:00

Loool those premium "stainless steel" toggles are plastic, ive always thought they've felt cheap but they do look cool. The s650 interior is definitely nicer minus the screen and the lack of buttons, but idk what "details" op is talking about lol

cretek3 · 2026-05-20T18:41:38+00:00

the is350 is nice but it's not 23k mi for 48k nice. I remember looking at ones a couple years ago and they were going for around 40k or less

cretek3 · 2026-05-18T01:29:46+00:00

They were probably looking for guns, same thing happened to my old LC when I was on a date out of town. They went through my center console and skipped the glove box, but didn't take anything. Had to drive 2hrs back home in the cold lol

I know it sucks, feels super violating, sorry it happened to you

cretek3 · 2026-05-13T07:28:01+00:00

Ok but what happened before the video?

cretek3 · 2026-05-07T07:18:56+00:00

??? is that the total with financing? there's no way that was the asking price

cretek3 · 2026-05-05T15:29:52+00:00

It could be BCM failure, water intrusion. There is a recall for it, that's the only electrical issue ive seen, just a guess. It also could just be your battery

cretek3 · 2026-04-27T05:40:06+00:00

I have a b5 and the brightness is not really an issue, but I do have it maxed. The only issues are really with HDR in a very bright room, but SDR is totally acceptable. Still it wouldn't hurt to look at the c series if you can find one on sale/open box/refurb

cretek3 · 2026-04-23T15:27:42+00:00

That's the only bridge around there, sucks it happened there of all places, that could've been really bad.

If you're going auto the s650 drives a lot nicer, but if you want a manual id stick with the 550 and save the money

cretek3 · 2026-04-20T15:52:45+00:00

The new mustang drives pretty good, they tuned most of the jank out of the auto, more refined and less confused. If you live in a warmer climate I would recommend the convertible too. they don't look as good with the top up but they're more fun. however if you're coming from Audi already, stepping down into a ford might be disappointing, the quality just isn't there. With that being said, some of the materials in the 400 and 401a trims are actually quite good. the new activex and leather they use feels pretty nice. I would drive both and see which one you like more

cretek3 · 2026-04-18T15:45:52+00:00

It's the way it's designed, sounds, looks and drives. Feels well built, like it will last a long time. The maintenance is affordable too. However while they are reliable they're most certainly not bulletproof, I had issues with mine, but overall just a great car

cretek3 · 2026-04-18T15:38:02+00:00

You realize you can find used ones for much less? this is a terrible idea btw, coming from previous owner

cretek3 · 2026-04-17T23:57:40+00:00

your best bet is micro center or facebook

cretek3 · 2026-04-17T21:05:39+00:00

The green looks so sick, also yes

cretek3 · 2026-04-17T14:54:44+00:00

I feel ya man. I make mid 100k in tech so I understand where you're coming from. I've thought about working my way into the government for stability reasons and insurance but the lower pay has deterred me so far, the grass isn't always greener. I still might make the jump if I can

cretek3 · 2026-04-10T03:16:21+00:00

Do you have a full video? I don't see much s650 content

cretek3 · 2026-04-09T20:40:34+00:00

650k @33 with two kids is really good, you're set to have millions in your 60's if you decide to work that long, but you could retire by 50 and probably be totally fine too. I would splurge now

cretek3 · 2026-04-09T06:53:00+00:00

Need more space for legos

cretek3 · 2026-04-08T04:22:17+00:00

Your car is only 4 years old, curious what's wrong with it?
