You're asking on a forum where everyone comes when they have a problem. Every sports car ever made has problems. Every single one. Anything anybody says is anecdotal. There is nothing, not one single thing, to be gained from your question. Failures happen to some small percentage, take your...
Chris Harris:
So, the question is, would I have one over a GT3 RS?
If I was just going to go and pound around tracks all day long, no, I wouldn't. The 992 RS is a little bit sharper on track. Can it feels even crazier in the highspeed stuff. There's a huge but coming here.
I like my cars to be...
Be aware that you don't get to set your reserve at BAT or Cars and Bids, there is a negotiation process concerning the reserve price. I know a couple of people who wouldn't list their car due to the reserve, as stipulated by the auction site, being too low.
Cars and Bids:
If you choose a...
If the car has modifications outside suspension, braking, bracing, and wheels then I'm not looking. There are of ton of people like me. I'm not saying your car has those modifications or is bad, just the way it is.
Edit: Anecdotal, but I generally find manual's do better in the after market...
I recently purchased a new sports car (not a Mustang) and it had relatively "new" tires (Michelins) from 2008 on it. Absolutely no way would I have gone more than the trip from where the transporter dropped off the car to home. I could feel how ancient those tires were. Good god.
Loosely:
1 or 2 owners
Overall appearance
Cold start sounds/smoke
Low mileage (subjective as to what qualifies)
Absolutely Non-Negotiable
Engine and transmission (if automatic) unmodified (reversible suspension mods are fine)
No after market tunes (No I don't want your shitty NA tune that adds...
Burble tunes are a lot like tattoos. If after receiving a tattoo the only person who could see said tattoo, regardless of location, was the owner then there wouldn't be many tattoos. If the only person who could hear the burble was the owner, wouldn't be many of those tunes in existence.
This dude was super complementary and enthusiastic and people still find a way to complain. It shows that many don't bother to listen. If they do listen they hear what they want to hear, so they can find a reason to be negative. Or they gate keep, which is dumb. The old "I was here first so...
Did you even listen? He simply quoted what was possible from the user manual. This is what he said..
In fact, in the owner's manual, it specifically states oil consumption of approximately one quart
per 500 miles is possible. Okay, this is actually interesting. So, do the math with me. This...
I enjoyed his comments on an aftermarket tune for an airbox on a NA GT350 and those comments were essentially "why?". Couldn't agree more, just why? If you're aren't going E85 then in my mind there is zero reason to install an aftermarket intake and aftermarket tune .
Then there is this guy, over a 100k miles on his GT350 and eats eight quarts of oil every 5000 miles. It ain't babied.

My favorite quote from the article:
"Shit, it's a Mustang, I'm gonna drive...
Admittedly I'm not as well versed on Ford and how they release their "trim" levels. More familiar with ze Germans and their love for introducing the "comp" model a year or three out.
It's a problem, be first and you get an awesome car, or be later and get the "comp" model, a possibly more awesome car. Happens all the time. In this case its a bit more of a problem since you can't sell the car for two years. So if the comp model comes out you would have to technically own...
