First Picture/Video Thread: Base/Grabber/Recaros

[72MachOne99GT]

Never sat in Recaros before. But they're VERY firm, not so much in an uncomfortable way as in supportive way.

I've only got maybe an hour and a half of seat time, and most of it was focused on everything and everyone around me.

I'm 6' closing in on 190 pounds (damn wife and baby...definitely not my fault at all I eat and drink too much) and it's a tiny bit snug around the bottom of my ribs...

They look awesome.

One thing I don't know is how well they hold you in the seat. (They're pretty slippery when the plastic is still on them)

Nice family and ride. Stay safe.:beer:

 

[Fordfourlife]

Looks good. Is the power what you expected? Have you ever driven a 07-12 shelby to compare it to?

We're roughly the same height/build and that's just about what I remembered and exactly what I was wanting to hear. Thanks bud. I'll leave you alone and let you enjoy your Shelby. I'm sure I have MONTHS to wait before I can make one of these threads LOL

Man that would be my dream car, come on lottery.

 

[MrUnsubtleNinja]

Thank god they changed the Key, I thought it was stupid that the GT500 got a regular Mustang key in 2012.... Not that it's a big deal... But it's the little things you know?

 

[reason4treason]

Thanks...also, sorry for not shaving :shrug:

not to worry. you handled the situation like a responsible Dad. if I were in your shoes, I might have strapped on one of the baby's diapers and gone MIA until a few tanks of petrol were guzzled.

congratulations to you and your family. you deserve it.

 

[MrUnsubtleNinja]

The not shaving wasn't the problem I had.... Nice MJ Crotch grab in the second video :nono:

 

[03SVT281]

[Devious_Snake]

[Red Turtle]

Congrats. That is exactly how I would order one as well.

 

[04MysticCobra]

I watched that video and I was like, wtf am I doing down there..

In reference to being a bit squirrelly, that was just me giving the wheel a slight turn.

The car does a surprisingly well job of holding the road under a decent amount of throttle. (havent been full throttle yet, but enough to enjoy a small tire bark)

 

[Robert M]

Very Nice Ride!!!


Of course we can't forget the Cool seat for the other Baby!!

Forward or Rearward facing.......

........although your wife may not be able to ride when the Simpson seat is rearward facing behind her unless she doesn't mind being against the dash/windshield....

[melissa809]

Wow! Congratulations on the new car and the baby!!!!! Life must be grand right now! I picked up a new 2012 GT500 a couple months ago and I am JEALOUS!!!!! lol

Enjoy!

 

[termin8rdsg]

Beautiful OP!!!! Congrats on both newborns.

 

[peteypab2133]

two questions to the OP!


I see you have an IU hat... Are you a student (saw the used books in the background)

If yes to either, I live literally 3 minutes from the university, and have a decent camera if you want a nice shoot!

question number 2.

Have you actually attempted to put the baby seat in the car. I am expecting in January, and although I am going to TRY to attempt to keep the car, I need to see if its even possible to ride my wife and a baby simultaneously.

Thanks !!!


Awesome car, and looks like you have a great family too
