Bought my 2013 back in August 2012 and I just hit 5,000 miles last week. This is my daily. As far as driving habits I love going fast but I've gone to jail once for street racing in my younger more reckless days so guess I'm kinda paranoid now about going to fast on the streets. I have yet to take it to the track but I want to.

Drive it like it was advertised. 1 motor and three tranny rebuilds later, oh I forgot the rear end once. Btw its whining again . Banging gears will demolish a mt-82 as for the rear end and cyl 8 misfire that destroyed the head. Well thats just bs I have no tune just cb you should have heard Fords excuses. Too be fair they did cover two payments and always have me in a rental no hate.

I drive mine somewhat hard, always want to hear the exhaust bounce off of cars and building. lowest between 3-4k upshifts, and still knowing people to get warranty covered is the reason I got the extended 75k mile warranty. So I'll beat the hell out of it nicely for 3 years or so and trade her in on something else, if she lasts that long. lol

I drive like a grandpa with the exception of at least one WOT sprint for about 5 seconds on each and every drive I make.... LOL!

I drive mine probably like most normal Mustang drivers. Not the douchebag ones though. Lol

Depending on where I'm driving, and whether or not I have a passenger with me, I typically shift around 2000-2300 RPM through all gears. Every now and again if I feel like giving her some wind sprints I will get on it.

Not hardcore, tire smoking burnouts. Just some simple spin 'em and go ordeals.

Not drifting, as I don't feel comfortable enough doing that. Lol

I have powershifted yet, but I have bounced it off redline a couple of times.

I've never done a hot and heavy burnout, but I've power braked and let them bad boys spin for a few seconds. But I punch whenever I need to, especially in morning DNT traffic. I would categorize myself as a very spirited driver...and that's what the car is designed for. I may hit a corner or 2 real hard just to get sideways and show out but no Vaughn Gitten like drifts. No heavy abuse, donuts, or power shifting the 6R80.

I baby it. Drive it like a sedan accord most of the time. No need to beat the shit out of it all the time. When I race I'm hard on it but most of the just a to b.

Just yesterday i was just going to take the car to get gas, decided to make 3 passes before i got to the gas station. There was another fox on draglites at the gas station when i got there. He was fooled by my 17inch bullitt wheels and i went and made two more passes in mexico and drove home.



I really don't get it out unless i intend to have fun. It's not my daily.

Pretty obvious how I drive mine. 37000 miles, a couple of hundred launches, and countless trips to Mexico. Of course, now that the '05 is sharing garage space, she only comes out on special occasions.
