2018 Fury Orange Convertible (Delivered)

[Gibbo205]

Unfortunately nothing - company lease car, needs to stay as it is. I just want to make as many road trip as possible; especially need to go down south, like Tail of the Dragon, Blue Ridge Parkway, ...

Now, I did drive our two Ponies back to back today: 2017 GT with approx 12.000km and the new 2018 with not even 100mls.

Transmission: honestly, did not feel a difference. I was astonished how flawless the new one works. Same short throws, I'd put it in the same league as GT86/BRZ and Miatas.
Clutch: like the new one more. Cannot really describe the difference, but it's easier to use, works smoother IMHO. The older one feels "harsher" if that makes sense.
Exhaust: Wow, the new one sounds so much nicer, even in normal mode.
The digitial Cluster: What a gimmick. Three modes for the gauges, display and hide extra gauges (oil pressure, engine temp, ...), three different shift mode indicators, ...

Thanks for the side by side shots, I have to say here they both look as good as each other, no clear winner, though the 18 does seem to sit a little lower which would win it for me.

It would be interesting to see some side-by-side shots with identical colours.

But I agree the 2018 looks lower, I think mainly because of the flatter and wider grille due to the rounded / lower nose.

This is a few weeks into Michigan winter. Seems like neither salt nor the wet dirt that's kicked up now does harm the Fury look. I love that colour - it just brightens up this season.

I am two days from delivery. Well, technically three cause in two days it'll be Sunday! But I'm hoping the dealer will let me come by and see it on Sunday! I'm getting so close!!!!

Two more pics from before the winter.

And one shot with my "Paparazzi" tele lens, love that perspective / point of view:

It was sunny and dry and a few degrees above freezing (finally) ...

I love how the Orange Fury handles the winter weather, the salt, and everything. It's my daily driver since November and hasn't seen a car wash yet.

I saw a GT350 in Orange Fury and thought it looked really nice. Congrats!!

There is no way of hiding with this colour ...

And posing at a local Cars'n'Coffee ...

Some pictures when we finally got some decent weather.

Some pictures in front of Detroit's most iconic building: the old Central Train Station. Actually, Ford owns this building now!

Two more from Detroit, I think this is Ford's wind chamber ... or isn't it?

For non-Detroiters, here's the explanation for the smoke.

Nice 2400 miles Roadtrip.
