Hello,

My name is Tyler. I am 21 years old and I just had purchased a 2016 Mustang GT Premium w/ the performance pack! I ordered it in Oxford White and yes I did say "ordered", I will be expecting it the wheel for April 17th-23rd if all goes as planned.

I am from North West Indiana and I can already tell this is going to be a learning experience for me, I only cared about my foreign cars before and when seeing an Evo X or STI were both going to run me $35k+ logic kicked into play to go with a Mustang (plus honestly the new gens are really growing on me) the only previous mustangs before this gen that I liked was notch back fox body and a term.

I work for Fastenal Co, I've been with the company for 3 years as well as I am a full time student studying Network Infrastructure.


Here is all just a little insight on me, I look forward to meeting some of you virtually and I hope it doesn't trying to seem like I'm boasting for buying a new Mustang at a young age. Because I am, but at the same time I'm not if that makes sense? Mainly I'm happy that I am in a finical position to do such a thing, but at the same time I'm very humble and won't tend to rub it in.

Anyways! Hopefully I didn't bore you guys but I do have a quick few questions.

1.) When the car does come in, what all I can do to the car to NOT void warranties? ( I've heard that if you go with Ford Racing, have a Ford Mechanic put them on they still honor it?)


2.) Whats the best rotating mass I can drop without voiding warranties?

3.) What is the widest tire/grippiest tire setup I can have on the back without having rubbing issues or fitment issues?


Thanks Guys,

- Mafea

Welcome aboard.

If it were me I'd leave it stock for the time being.

Break the engine in nice and easy.

That was the next question I had is the break in process, I heard it is similar to a clutch where you can break it in one of two ways.

1. Beating the hell out of it, oil change after 1,000 miles.

2. Follow the typical DD process of not going x amount RPM, oil change first 1,000 miles, etc.

Congratulations dude. I'm happy to see someone around my age with the same interests.
I agree just keep everything stock for awhile maybe some appearance mods, but nothing major

Thank you everyone, especially CarID (awesome such a reputable site would even recognize such a small post.)

Also everyone, I just got a call the other day we have a VIN on her now! However, I won't be expecting it until May 23rd (roughly maybe a week less or maybe a week later.)
