    2011-2012 GT500 Potential Purchase Today.

    Hahahaha I know the feeling exactly as that was my exact thoughts! I noticed the whine about 5 miles down the hwy after buying and was like oh crap what did I miss on the test drive and look over. Having had many Mustangs I luckily didn’t freak out to bad and figured out pretty much what it was...

    That makes total sense. I started 2nd guessing that thought on myself last night and starting wondering if clutch or trans, but glad you backed up my first thought! Haha

    Does the whine happen around I would say 55mph and greater? Seems to stop right away when clutch is pushed down as well.

    Plan on leaving it stock for now and plan to use these new tires for as long as they last, but after it will be sport 4s or sport Comp 2 I believe.

    Yeah I have had these tires on other Mustangs and I find about any tire sucks with the HP. Haha Miles are around 35k

    Yes I like the grabber blue and race red, but when I saw silver for the first time a couple years ago I was like wow that pops. Then what you know I ended up with one without trying. I never buy based on color as I always look for the best overall deal. Yeah owned a few mustangs and have felt...

    Here is one. I didn’t know what you meant. Sorry. I figured you were asking to see pics of clutch and diff to figure out if it wasn’t stock. Was going to say don’t plan on opening either up to check. Haha Nothing would lead me to believe it is not stock as the car was only ever serviced at 1...

    Pictures of the diff or what? From google searching and YouTube searches I find lots of talk and videos of the gear whine on these cars that is just like what I am experiencing.

    Hoping to get a year or two out of this clutch. Ha It’s got brand new Nitto NT555 G2’s on all around actually. I used to be a big Nitto fan until I put Pilot Sport 4S on my other car. That’s what will likely go on the GT500 next. I do notice an annoying gear whine from around 60-85ish. Very...

    I don’t seem to have a grind in the few 1-2 gear pulls I did today. Although still wasn’t speed shifting or banging gears as still getting used to car and as well cold temps... Clutch feels like it gets heavier at higher RPM shifts. The higher the shift the stiffer it feels. Is this normal?

    Well I picked one up tonight so hope all is well. Clutch felt heavy and let out at the top which I think is pretty normal right? The two pulls I did on test drove which were traction less due to cold temps outside felt good. 1-2 didn’t grind, but wasn’t shifting super fast just normal 1-2...

    Well about 20 min out from looking and maybe buying one tonight. Anybody got any thoughts, concerns, or things I should look at?

    On the road to go look at a 2011-2012 GT500. Are their any issues I should be concerned about and look into prior to purchase? Not new to Mustangs, but new to the GT500. Always wanted a supercharged car and today I might just finally own one. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
