    What Octane do you run?

    I run 87 just for commuting to work and running around town because filling up once a week was getting a bit much and I find the winter blend high octane fuels usually run weird from sitting in the tank for so long. (Not a lot of people running vehicles that require 91+ in the dead of winter in...

    Rear defroster has already failed

    I've decided to cancel my appointment with them. I took the panel apart to look at it to find the worst solder job I've seen in a hot minute. I've soldered better halfway through a 26er. I just picked up some Grote spade to spade connectors for like $5 and a Permatex Defroster repair kit. The...

    Rear defroster has already failed

    It's been less than a month, the car isn't even broken in past 1000 miles yet and I haven't even made my first payment yet and I've already had to schedule a warranty appointment. I noticed this morning my dear defroster wasn't working like it should only half of one line was actually melting...

    Active Valve Exhaust Power/Torque Question...

    Not sure if this is just the placebo effect of loud = fast. But I do notice that Sport/Track/Drag modes do feel like the car gets up and goes a hair quicker than Normal mode. And Normal mode with quiet exhaust feels a touch more sluggish in the mid range before the valve opens up all the way...

    How many miles did yours come with?

    4km. I'm pretty sure the sales manager made everyone push the car around the dealership as needed because he didn't trust anyone to not roast the clutch before I took delivery.

    Hot take the s650 is better looking than the s550

    Let's just put into simple terms here guys. Everyone is saying the S650 is basically a bolder, edgier version of the S550. It's literally a just New Edge S550 and I am all about that. The New Edge was the design language Mustangs had at the time when I was a little kid, and therefore is my...

    Hood vent rain guards?

    Hood vent? You mean my snow holder? Come to think of it... That might actually be a pretty handy spot to run my block heater out of if I can figure out a way to route it without worrying about getting the cord caught in any fans or belts 🤔🤔🤔

    Patched My Fender Well Holes - DIY Instructions & Photos

    I apologize, you're right. My tone was a bit aggressive there. I am just so sick and tired of being nickel and dimed at every corner especially when it comes to parts that in theory should be cheap, but aren't for one reason or another. Just running some quick math, in my experience almost...

    Patched My Fender Well Holes - DIY Instructions & Photos

    Never mind. I just went to the site to see if it would show me a little on the breakdown for shipping and tax cost. Dude doesn't even ship outside the US. If he actually CARED about the enthusiast scene he would also release just the 3D print file for a modest price so true DIYers could protect...

    Patched My Fender Well Holes - DIY Instructions & Photos

    Does anyone know if shipping costs extra if it's going to Canada? Last time I had to order a part out of the states it went from a $40 transfer case switch to over $250 after shipping, taxes, duty, and conversion rate. All because Dodge decided to use a normally closed transfer case indicator...

    I bought the maintenance & extended warranty plans - Make Me Feel Good

    My finance guy is a huge Mustang fan and gave me 8 year bumper to bumper warranty at 0 profit to the dealer, undercoat, electronic rust protection paint protection, and interior protection with a 10 year paint defect and surface rust/perforation warranty at his cost. All said and done I think it...

    Block Heater for 5.0 Performance Package

    Awesome! Didn't even know this was an issue. Might bring it up with my dealer and see what they can do to protect the vehicle, I am getting a full undercoat and paint protection film so I will be sure to bring this up and see if they can ensure it will be protected. My locale uses Calcium...

    Block Heater for 5.0 Performance Package

    Just wanted to put this out there so everyone has a record of this. My 2024 401A PP is currently undergoing PDI, and as my dealer had offered to install a block heater as part of the purchase agreement. However they have just notified me that the block heater physically will not fit due to the...

    2 Cracked Windshields in 6 months of ownership!

    Take this with a grain of salt as this is purely anecdotal, but it's my firm belief that they don't make windshields like they used to. I've had multiple 80's and 90's cars that have taken golf ball sized rocks straight to the windshield and left no more than a small nick the size of a pinhead...

    AT Shifting poorly when cold

    From what I've been seeing just doing research at work the 10 speeds are very VERY picky about temperature. Apparently Mercon ULV was developed to help combat the "conservative shifts" while it was warming up, especially during cold weather and using the older Mercon LV can make cold shifts even...

    Trailer hitch?

    It's possible. I suppose the only way to find out would be to get one and try? When I was ordering my 24 I asked them about a hitch and they said they would be able to source one for the car only if I didn't get the active exhaust. Apparently the active exhaust system is different enough to...

    GT 2024 - after 5 months still driving heavy and slow

    Yeah that seems to be it. My buddy had a similar problem on his Audi A4. Some cars use two different coolant temp sensors like his Audi did. One for the gauge and one to tell the PCM what the engine is doing. If the PCM sees that the engine is getting warm or conversely thinks it is -40 it will...

    GT 2024 - after 5 months still driving heavy and slow

    I found this little excerpt that was posted just recently while fooling around in my fluid spec and recall lookup at work today. Looks like a user submitted fix that has been performed by a few shops so far, might be worth having your dealer investigate if this is the issue if you aren't...

    GT 2024 - after 5 months still driving heavy and slow

    As someone who works in the parts industry l, I can confirm the amount of people who don't even know the engine their car came with is around 40-50%. Some people don't even know what BRAND their car is and don't even care to learn anything other than the colour of their car... I'd say OP knows...
