    The official boycott ADM thread

    In MA anyway, whatever you are actually paying for the car minus trade in, you pay sales tax on. We don't pay a different price for registration. It is the same no matter what car we buy. I'm sure that the insurance companies will not insure for the added ADM. That being said, paying $20,000 or...

    The official boycott ADM thread

    Interesting. Most dealers here get maybe two. I'm sure others in the southern part of the USA get more because they can sell more, but not as many as you are able to see in Canada. Pete

    The official boycott ADM thread

    I'd be surprised if a dealership got more than two allocations. Pete

    The official boycott ADM thread

    Not all dealerships add ADM's to the price. During the 2013-2014 GT500 production, many got their cars at sticker like me,I ordered mine, or slightly less. If you want one, you will have to find a dealership that first of all has a few allotments for the 2020, not all get them, and order one for...

    1st and second gear not engaging all the way, second “notch”.

    I replaced my shifter bushing with the Revan Racing shifter bushing when they were available (5 years ago?). I really haven't had any problems other than my own poor technique at times with 16,000 miles on it. This appears to be the same thing Revan used to sell...

    Happy with your 350? Previous owners of GT500, please chime in.

    I haven't got the desire to get rid of mine. I may go for a 2018 GT as a daily driver when the lease is up on our 2016 Fusion though. I love this GT500! I don't track the car, it is strictly a street car. Maybe if the roads were better in the Northeast I might have different thoughts, but...

    Anyone else frustrated with Ford over the next GT500?

    Bruno, It will be five years in April that I have had my 2014 (14,500 enjoyable miles.) It was ordered and delivered in April 2013. If I get another Mustang, it will be a daily driver GT and the GT500 will stay in my possession. There aren't too many cars out there that are better than this car...

    Squeaky rear suspension

    When I owned my 2012, one of the rear sway bar end links broke. Check that. Pete

    Second Gear Grind

    No I did not have any grinding. I replaced it because of that issue that others seemed to have with it. Mine is a 2014. Call Revan Racing. Van may be able to send you in the right direction. Pete

    Second Gear Grind

    I replaced the standard rubber shifter bushing with Revan Racing GT500R bushing when I first got the car. I have not had any problem up to this point (13,500). Unfortunately they don't have anymore of them. You could contact them and ask about other alternatives. Also, I probably go past 3000...

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

    I haven't been around much in the past few months. ACL surgery in September made me put the car away early. I just started to check in again. Happy New Year to you guys too! Pete

    Put down a deposit on next "GT500"?

    I saw somewhere recently that the prediction was an $85,000 price tag before adm. I like my 2014. It’s almost paid off. Pete
