If I recall correctly. You can skip gears in the auto.

If you click just a bit too slow then it will literally shift before you get the second click in. It’s not nearly as fast as a dual clutch, but it’s still pretty darn quick.

I feel like this did when I test drove a couple automatic GTs, but if I recall correctly if you got the timing wrong it would shift twice instead of shifting gears.

Good luck. This is one of the bigger drivers for my getting the manual. I don’t enjoy the sound from the automatic because it’s just shifting constantly.

Dang. I had to use painters tape and a strap wrench to install the bullitt shift knob on mine. I’ve never seen a mod require so much torque to install, but apparently it’s by design. It isn’t going anywhere.

I will never miss the days of hooking up car seats to the latch points. My kids are just about big enough to no longer need the booster seats, but at least those don’t use the latches. Totally normal and required by law. My GTI had the best latches, my wife’s CR-V the worst. Any modern car...

In all the ways that matter to insurance companies 😂

Unlikely. It’ll cost a bit more because it’s price is double so that’s a given. But the people who buy convertible mustangs are generally pretty boring. It won’t be wildly more expensive. It’s not like we’re talking about a Charger Scat Pack or a Prius here. True story my wife’s old 2015 Prius...

I’ve always driven “fast” cars. My model 3 performance was the first car I drove that felt too fast. It was exhilarating to drive, but ultimate more speed than anyone actually needs. So I sold it and bought my second Mustang. The Mustang is plenty fast without being completely absurd. There is a...

Just don’t sell it. If it’s worth being bought then it’s probably worth keeping!

Is your insurance high then? My 24 GT/CS Convertible only runs me $90 a month for the maximum coverage Progressive offers.

The only cosmetic change I wanted.

That is fantastic. I hope they actually mass produce them. It’s just silly having a regular GT being the top trim available as a convertible.

It also works during upshifts. It will stall the rev drop at exactly the right entry point. It’s very convenient.

Nice! We spend 4-5 months of the year below freezing and bottom out at -40 c on the worst days.
