Default I took delivery on my 2015 GT yesterday

Premium 400A, only option is Navigation. Ford's 0%/72 months with $1000 cash back was a good enough deal that I traded in my 2014 GT/CS straight up for this car. I'm enjoying it so far, although I don't like where the clutch pedal is in relation to when it catches gears. Below are a few pictures. I am going to plastidip the chrome pony in the grill as I really don't like it. I am not usually one for visual mods, but I think that a few things would really make the car stand out, so we'll see. I'm resisting the mod bug for now, although I really want some wider rubber in the rear. If anyone has suggestions for 'must have mods' for this car, I'm all ears. I read that a short throw is really needed, but I don't mind the stock shifter.

Nice! My first suggestion would be to take that dealers sticker off the back of it. It looks tacky.

Thanks! I've really enjoyed it so far. I'm looking forward to my morning drives a lot more now!


edit: I had it detailed this morning and they were supposed to remove it. I totally forgot to check. I guess I can do it myself if I can find some Goo Gone.

I ran a stock Mustang with no mods, bought it brand new and left it that way with no mods......... It was the worst 3 days of my entire life!!!! Once the mods began, none of the factories better ideas last real long, always room for improvement somewhere!

The first mod you can do is free and only takes two minutes. Remove the clutch pedal spring. Really helps with clutch feel and much easier to tell right when clutch is engaged.

If I could shake your hand I would. I really didn't like the feel of the clutch, but removing that spring improved it 100%. Like you said, you can feel it grab a lot more, it's just so much better. That was my biggest problem with the car, and the fix was free. It isn't often that that is the case.






EDIT: I have a question that I'll try posting here before making a thread. I drove an automatic '15 for a day or two, and the driving modes affected the throttle response, shift points, how long it held gears, etc. My manual also has selectable driving modes, but I'm not sure what parameters it is affecting. I'm searching now but haven't turned up anything so far.

Doesn't removing that spring allow the throw-out bearing to just ride on the PP fingers, ever so slightly? I would think that would cause a premature failure of the bearing? Just curious.
