Introduce yourself!!

All you need now is an airplane.....

Well, I agree... Unfortunately, as a "early retired" airline captain, I can't justify buying anything I would really want to fly, like a King Air. Here I am in the 737-800.

1st Mustang

Bought my 2017 GT with a performance package in October. No mods yet but I also joined NASA and had a blast at Streets of Willow last November. Next track day will be in March at Big Willow. I’m not looking to build a track only car but a street legal track car, if that makes any sense. Best place to get advice and tips is from a forum like this. Thanks in advance.

You'll LOVE big Willow. Lot's of great Ford history there. Youtube some track videos, and keep it on line through Turn 9...;)

Hopefully you'll get addicted, and realize you can't really properly "track" a street car. Then you'll get a real race car and that's when the big fun starts...:first:

Welcome, Captain. I'm a retired C-130 flight engineer and low-time private pilot. Your pic just reminded me how much I loved being off the ground; it's been too long.

Thanks Ed. Looking for a spec Miata or an older fox body now. I really like the look of the 88 lx. This all started because my son bought his GT with an auto a few months before I bought mine.

Congrats and makes perfect sense. I'm of the same mindset. Maybe I'll see you at a track day sometime. Enjoy! :cheers:

For a real track car, can't do better then a Miata to start with. I tend to prefer more vintage, but any true race car is better than a street car on the road course.

Hello everyone! I just placed an order last week for a 2018 GT. This will be my second Mustang I've owned. I previously had a GT back in 1998. I just sold my Focus ST and decided I wanted a Mustang again. This is the third vehicle I've ordered from Ford in the last 5 years so I'm used to hitting the refresh button on Cotus.

New to this forum and also a member of Camaro 6, since I own a Camaro Fifty SS Convertible.

I recently retired from GM. For my last 10 years there I led the powertrain division of the Industry and Competitor Intelligence team. We spent more time with competitor vehicles than we did with GM vehicles, so we got a lot of hands-on and drivers seat experience with Mustangs, Challengers, Porsches, BMWs, etc. Especially when Camaro or Corvette we're going through refresh. Our job was to project for the vehicle team where we expected competitors powertrains to be at the time that the new GM vehicle came out. Best job I ever had.

Anyway, I retired in March and still do similar work as an independent consultant.

Even though I worked for GM, I have actually over my lifetime owned more Mustangs than I have Corvettes and Camaros combined. The Fifty is actually the first Camaro I have ever owned. A couple Corvettes before that.

Granted, two of my Mustangs were nothing to write home about ('74 coupe, '76 Cobra), but two were 1979 Indy Pace Cars. Owned both at the same time.

Since I have spent so much of my time being very objective about competitors' cars, I expect to be able to bring that same level of objectivity to this forum, just as I try to do at Camaro6. I learned early on in my Competitor Intelligence days how to tell engineers that their baby was ugly without getting fired :lol: and sometimes they even listened and changed things :gossip:

I live in Detroit, ironically about 5 miles from Ford World HQ, so I often see Ford camouflaged test vehicles driving up and down the Southfield Expressway. Even saw the GT500 a couple times.

Let's have fun!
