Well the videos are finally here. Nothing special in them.
They show one thing I liked which is the intelligent light system inside, and one that I found awkward no Keyless system in a 100,000$ (In Brazil) car. To make up for it, the key has plenty of functions, allowing you to control windows, engine, headlight and A.C. remotely, which actually is very interesting.

If anyone wants impression on any cars, or comparison with the C63, I am here for it. I have a lot of mates with sweet rides, and I have friends in dealers as well, so any car, any (except Bugatti Veyron, or Paganis), I can give you a full review...

Well guys I might be buying a hot hatch or smaller sport vehicle because of practicality and as they go pretty much unnoticed. Which should I get A45, the next RS3 or a 1M?

Im not a liar PCPEDROARIEL, ....I would love to take a look at it but somehow, as soon as I visit photobucket, I see nothing!
:-(
I cant see any freaking vid nor picture :-(
Is there a way you can load it up maybe, on youtube?

I tried it with my ipad, iphone, pc, laptop...none are able to show the vids, maybe its the connection or somethin.IDK

However I red your review you posted before, I knew you would say the truth and thats what I appreciate.
Sure you xplained why the plastic interrior isnt good in brazilian heat just remember one thing though, mustangs also drive in Texas, Mexico, Dubai, where its also very hot. Im saying that because your thoughts on the squeaks that might occur, due to hot temperatures are wrong, brother...believe me.

Thats why the mustang has actually that whole plastic and foam- touch dashboard concept.
Other materials wear out very quickly...not that stuff built in that newer stangs.
Well anyway no need to discuss that any further as we all know, the C63 and the M3 ( on the M couldnt adjust my seat right...I sat to high all the time ) are a compromise between luxury and sport cars....
Where the Mustang doesnt makes compromises, its an american muscle car, love it or hate it,right?

Pedro...what you stated was regarding an ordinary 2013 Basic Mustang GT 5.0 equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission ( without a tune just shifted into S( sportmode), now what do you think if the car would have been the 2013 BOSS Mustang Laguna Seca. You would have destroyed the C63 and the M3 but thats not yours nor mine intension.

Alone ( and I really mean it ) your will to show everybody here, how cars are and actually beeing an virtual shopping guide/ help for other car enthusiasts that are right now in the market for a new toy, should be seriously awarded.

I agree. I loved the 1M as it is a true brute car. I am nearly buying one myself. But for the time being I am keeping and enjoying the beasts inside my garage

For your effort, a lill vid from me ...terrorizing the german autobahn with the 2013 Mustang GT 5.0. There its pretty easy to see how the transmission keeps the RPMs high and is actually very intuitive with its shift points.
Enjoy pedro ;-)

So coming back to Mustang topic. I loved the car, I hope I made that clear. It is a very good all rounder, and I loved full throtlling yet. Unfortunately, I think you misunderstood what I meant about the interior. It is not crap, like I may made it seem, it just feels much lower quality than a German car, and is not as good as you expect it for the price.

The Laguna Boss on the other hand, did not seem faster than the C63, although the dealer did not let me have fun.

Where did you buy the support for the 4S, I have a Galaxy S4, and I would love to be able to film it like that...

Here's a cool comparison between the A45 and the M135i. Did you mean M135i or 1M? The former is a hot hatch; the latter a coupe.

Hope it helps.

Yeah I did understood what I wanted to say was:
It is expected to buy a mustang with lower quality interrior, same as it is expected to have an C63 and M3 in higher quality, because Mustang is all about american muscle, wich isnt the interrior...so no offense on my side ;-)

The 2013 Boss 302 Laguna Seca dealer/ sales guy would have had an serious problem, if I would be out to buy one and he would start *****in.. and complaining, so I cant drive it the way I want...well thats maybe just me

Pedro, its an Iphone 4S ...thingy thing...that you can twist and adjust and place it on your car window.
Will make an picture tomorrow evening ( car is in garage now) and will post so you can see how it looks like.

For now brother, its sleeping time...lets all have a great and productive day tomorrow!

Thanks man. I nearly argued with the stupid sales rep, although I held myself back. I liked the car but it wad unlikely for me to buy one anyway...

Sales rep in Brazil are douches they rarely let you go over 5.000rpm or they want you to drive like a maniac overtaking cars by inches...

See ya man.
May tommorow be an even more productive day..

Well the C63 had already given my some trouble, today was the M3's turns.

I was going to travel about 200km in hilly roads full of bumps, go and return, leaving about 2 hours ago, using the M3, as it is the most appropriate car for these conditions, besides it is full of speedcameras, so if I took the C63 or the Audi, I would not be able to take full advantage of their features. Well I turn on the car, and after about six seconds later, I began reversing the car, and I get a misfire, and the car gets into security mode cancelling the fuel injection. I try to start it again, no use. I wait for another 5 minutes, come back and try it again. For my great dismay and anger, the car turned on, but with engine light on, and behaving weirdly, not all of the 8 cylinders were working, it felt more like a V6 than a V8. Then all of a sudden, I try to do a rev, and I hear a loud pop from the exhaust, and bang another misfire, car turns off again. Then I had to do the trip with C63 (no problems there). Came back and now I am looking for a solution, what could it be?
I have bought the BMW extended warranty, but would they cover whatever it is?

Well I guess the most reliable between Audi (RS5), Merc (C63) and BMW (M3), is Audi. The old owner never had any issue, the same can't be said by BMW or Merc....

as promised....thats what I used, its pretty simple with a few adjustment options.
As for our 2 unlucky warriors M3 E92 and C63.

Im not out to bash the C63, as my wifey owns one and its a pretty reliable and safe carrito.
On the other hand the C63 I had suffered the headbolt issue on track, the M3 E92 steering pump started smoking and the breaks got to hot, when I testet it...imagine...we are talking about warm up lap...
You can read my expierience up in one of my threads I made a few weeks earlier.
Anyhow these things that happned to me or pcpedroariel dont mean the cars are bad...instead, the C63 and the M3 are real cool cars...each out of a special sophisticated breed. Also VERY reliable cars, as long as you maintain them right!
