PDX GSX1300R

PDX to PHX to visit the wife’s family. Up to a historic hotel in Prescott first. The Shelby does not suck.

The Mustang is amazing. The driver engagement, the wonderful exhaust sound under throttle. Like the Suzuki, it gobbles up the miles at 80-90. I would buy one if I could.

I would, however, forego the 10 speed automatic for a manual. I think 10 is too many.

It’s been so much fun to be “in the club.” The thumbs up, the knowing smiles. It’s that kind of car. I do miss that.

Lol, they really do cruise at 90mph too easily.
My Dad bought a new one in 2018, also the 10spd auto.
He sold it about a year later with 900 miles on it, said it was going to get him tickets, to which I said, tickets?!...it's going to get you arrested, lol.
They are fun cars though.

My buddy who I call "Mustang Ray" has gone through a few Mustangs over the years and his favorite color is the dark red they have...

His current one is a 2020 GT Performance Package 2 with an entirely full MSRP sheet....it has everything you can put in a car...it is the automatic as he has no interest in changing gears. It is a beast for a 5.0.........he also has a Challenger as a winter car just because he wanted to try out that platform.......if Dodge didn't discontinue the Challenger, he was going to get a Scatpak 6.2l version....

He's now looking at either a GT500 or Dark Horse....it takes him a year to make up his mind while he goes in the Ford site and builds out a car.....he's get them both built to his personal specifications and then decide....

I miss my 2013 dearly! Even after ford screwed me out of a new transmission and I had to pay for an upgraded 6 speed manual out of pocket. Most fun 4 wheel vehicle I’ve owned. I even search online every so often to see if I run into it for sale somewhere.

That's my favorite of the modern body style Mustang..

My friend "Mustang Ray" had a red 2012 and we both said it's lines were the closest to the '69 version.

Before that he had a red '05 that he put over 300,000kms on...he was a member of the Oklahoma Mustang Club and drove the wheels off that thing while he was posted to Oklahoma and Colorado Springs....
