I'm an OLD PRO at rev matching. I really hate how well the system works, and I hate that I use it.
To be fair to me, the way the pedal is programmed in normal mode - it's so dead that you really have to move the pedal a lot to rev match, it's a un-natural feeling to press the pedal half way...
100% incorrect. Surprised nobody else said anything.
When is the output shaft of an automatic disconnected from the engine while in drive?
An auto does NOT ever go into neutral when shifting thru forward gears.
Love this. I'm a roundy-round NASCAR guy - but this is the kind of stuff I love to see FORD do. Actual cars "made by" Ford. For decades with NASCAR you have to just accept that there's nothing factory about them apart from Ford's money. It's great to see them do this. The Ford GT was cool...
It was a mistake to change the manual ratios like they did. I have a '14 and I really like how it's geared. It's got 3:31 rear. Having 5th be 1:1 is sweet. Only complaint would be that 6th is too far from 5th. It's a big jump down in rpms - right at the speeds you drive at on the freeway...
Lots of newbs - but welcome to the Stang Lyfe- better late than never.
I've had a 65, 71, 71, 86, 92, 02, 14. All V8s. I have one '71 and the 2014 currently. I hope to get a 7G in a few years.
I'd skip it. Vanity plates are - aptly named. And 99% are lame as hell. BLUBYU?- c'mon man, LOL!
Only one I liked in my time - years ago, last century - some guy had a primer grey 64 Impala and the license plate read UNF8ABL ( you get 7 letters in CA).
I have the MGW - worth every cent - plus the PITA install. It's actually not too bad on the 2014 - might be harder on a newer car with the suitcase resonator things.
I can't wait to see these on teh road.
I've been happy with mine in a 2014 GT. Only issue I've had is a lumpy 1-2 shift when it's really cold out. But that's gone in 3-4 min. Shifts very nicely at high rpm, never experienced a lockout.
It's pretty crispy and has a nice sporty feel.
Mine does have the close ratio gears - where 5th...
This.
Ford REALLY phoned it in on this latest "generation".
I like it, but it's the same thing from 2015. They even went back to the same side profile on the headlights.
I was hoping for (way) more change.
Yeah, I guess the "photo from teh center back seat" doesn't help.
It's goofy though.
FWIW, I like this "new" car - biggest letdown is how little it changed. The 480hp helped a bit.
:)
I can't get over the twisted toggle rack and center vents - looks so lame.
Looks crooked and doesn't help function much. I think that bugs me the most here.
