Yeah I cant add manual subtitles, that would take hours. Automatic subtitles should work quite ok I think, at least my experience with it was fine.
To my impressions. Positives:
Handling seems slightly improved over Gen6 refresh. It felt like it definitely had less bodyroll and can be driven...
I checked my other video, it seems like there is a setting for the intelligent speed limiter in the Mustang. Will be interesting if you can turn it off completely or if it switched back on every time.
To my understanding this is how the car will adjust it's own speed to speed limits if you use the cruise control. The beeping from going over the limit should be unaffected by this
From Fords website:
"The Intelligent Speed Limiter was developed to improve the adjustable speed limiter. When...
You got it, it's the speed assist thing that all cars in europe must have from this year on. It's warning you when you are over the speed limit with an annoying *PING*. But guess what, the limit when the car is doing that is not set to 20 kmh above limit... or 10... or 5... or even 3... When you...
Yes I did drive it on saturday for about an hour, tested all modes, and recorded everything. Was travelling the last few days to bring my C8 to a tuner, so will have to work a few evenings on the video before it can go live.
I will write up the most important stuff in english for you when my...
Most regulations in Europe are bound to the homologation date. I haven't heard of any upcoming new noise restrictions, but even if that would happen that only would affect a future facelift that needs a new homologation
Yeah of course I will record new soundclips when the car is outside, rev a bit higher when the oil in warm and also of course I record my driving from the interior including how it sounds. I just don't have a S550 as a comparison this time and time is quite strict to get everything recorded. I...
Already filmed that, check the video at 13:35
It sounds slightly different on film to the 18 GT because of the different environment, to our ears it sounded identical to 18 GT
Already checked that, the EU GT has the USB port behind the mirror 👍
Good point, will check that
Should be a GT...
I will be able to drive a EU S650 next week and record it. If anybody has special things he wants to know or see, please let me know. Car is brand new, so of course no performance measurements
Yes, the european dealer can track the status with build date, estimated shipping and estimated arrival date. But in my experience most dealers will only call you once the car arrives at their lot and don't track your order regularly
With Gen 6 you could track your EU Mustang by using the Ford API, the web tools did nothing. But afaik Ford killed all the european connections years ago, so no tool can show you anything for export models
The DH has a shorter axle ratio. This is a special thing for europe as US GTs with Performance Package gets the same ratio as Dark Horses
EU GT vs EU DH
AT: 3.15 vs 3.55
MT: 3.55 vs 3.73
Of course you can upgrade power. You just have to measure and adjust the new pollution values since taxes are bound to this value - Otherwise it counts as tax evastion.
But S650 has an encrytped ECU. While there will be cracked ECUs in the future for sure, it becames quite expansive to gett a...
Yes, you can already find some of the S650 in the showrooms at car selling sites. And I know someone who reserved on of the early build DH at a dealer. Seems like the DHs will arrive around March.
Here's the GT I filmed up for sales with a discount:
Ford Mustang 5.0 GT NEUES MODELL SITZBELÜFTUNG...
I don't know if you have to modify the ECU for that. That could be a problem since the ECU of the S650 is encrytped and I think it hasn't been unlocked by a tuner yet
Since you can get like 17% discounts on M2 here in Germany (not M240i, the real 460 hp one) it starts at 64k€, Dark Horse with let's say 10% discount starts at 65k€. With options (HUD, assistants, etc) you can get the M2 in the mid-70k range. So I would say in the final price you pay the M2...
While European GTs have the Performance Package included we don't get the axle ratio that usually comes with that on US models.
The EU GT has 3.15 AT and 3.55 MT. EU Dark Horse has 3.55 AT and 3.73 MT.
It actually is a big step down from 18 GT, which already came with 3.55 AT as standard...
