New to the forum. Forgive me for only spot checking around the site before asking questions.
Have about 500 miles on my new car. 2012, 5.0, Brembo/3:73.

Any TSBs and or gliches anyone know of at this time? Impressed with the performance so far, for sure. Still trying to improve my inadequate shifting skills, and avoiding citations.

I just bought a new '12 GT as well. You having troubles with 1 to 2? To me, it seems like it really wants to go from 1 to 4.

I also noticed that the avg mpg in town (stop and go) goes down considerably, while driving the twisties (where I usually ride my SV or DRZ), staying around 4k rpm, it actually increases.

I guess this just means I'm gonna have to drive it like I stole it to get better gas mileage.

Seems like there was language in the manual about actually shifting from 1st to 4th....anyway glad to hear from a new 2012 owner like myself. This is my 1st muscle car. I like it. Just hope the new motor platform is sturdy and trouble free. Have 1100 miles on mine, yes mileage appears to suck around town. Going on a road trip in a few weeks and will see what it really gets on the highway.

Have not experienced any problems yet but have read of a few TSB's and such. The tranny appears to be the most talked about item. I have a 6-speed.

Is your car a v-8?

Yes sir.. 6spd v8.

I owned a 96 GT a while back but had to trade it in for a "family car" .. Lesson learned. The handling of my new one is crazy good in comparison. Of course, in 10-15 years I'm sure I'll have the same thought about my "old" 2012 GT. haha..

I'm still trying to figure out what mods I want to do first. I was thinking cold air intake and a few other minor things, but I don't want to void the warranty. Or, at least, I don't want to do something I couldn't swap out fairly easily before I took it in ...

Just got my new 12 a couple weeks back as well. I'm pretty satisfied with the power in that car. Not entirely sure I need more than the GT comes with. Though, I'm thinking I'm going to do some body modifications.
