@9secondko ..... well said - and - the Mustang convertible had about 30% more room in the trunk when compared the last year both were made. Just left a coffee shop about an hour ago. A guy hit the pedal when leaving. I assume it was a 2023 Camaro as it looked brand new and it was the...

@ThreePedalPlow ..... always bring it to the dealer hot. Some dealerships will wait a bit if the oil is super hot so the techs don't get burned. Uncle worked for Shell oil as a chemist. There is no doubt and I mean NO doubt. When the oil is first heated to operating temperature, the many...

@Adamrx11 ...... my opinion always use full synthetic. Ford Motorcraft oil is very good and so is their oil filter. Depending on where and how often you drive, you could start by checking your air filters monthly. That way you will know when they get dirt and bugs in them and to what extent...

@Mr Hyde ..... also regarding extended warranties - dealers love/hate them. they love to sell them they hate to honor them. They make good cash selling them they get less that shop menu price working non them and also hate the paperwork. FWIW - I had a friend who owned a GM dealership, he said...

@asc709 .... a few hundred miles? Just a baby! You are probably way ahead of me on this but respectfully when you do your first oil change I would recommend FULL synthetic and pre-filling the oil filter before installation. I had my tech fill the oil filter before he started changing the oil...

@asc709 ..... from a friend who races Mustangs, his opinion, fwiw, the 10R80 is an amazing transmission. Ford has changed the programming from earlier years for the 2024 S650 and that has made it far "crisper" (his words). He says it is a very fast shifting and very robust transmission. He did...

@Gray_3 ..... The noise could be said to be transmission related - in that it's the straight cut gears for the transmissions gear driven fluid pump. Apparently the Camaro (same transmission due to joint Ford/GM research) makes less noise as GM put some kind of sound dampening in place. I'm not...

@FarNorth ..... absolutely staggering. My Mustang keeps telling me to put two hands on the wheel even when I HAVE two hands on the wheel - bet the Insurance company would love that.

@S650_Ponygirl ..... agreed some days it is just too cold to hand wash but not where you are now......and I do get it that some people have to use car washes. You did indeed have a beautiful 2014 GT. Quite a difference in power and handling between the 2014 and 2024. It looks like your 2024 is...

Jesus weeps!

@azo0ozi ..... get the premium package. I think the base has two screens which IMO looks weird plus the extras are IMO worth it.

@samson ..... absolutely the answer is never in a car wash. Have owned 5 convertibles. Car washes are highly destructive. Take your convertible to a hand wash site and put towels (I find two large work) around the perimeter at the back where the top meets the trunk so no water pools there. Then...

@Adamrx11 ..... I owned a building company. While building we installed sprinkler systems on every house we built. First for the owners' convenience then in later years to meet city watering ordinances. I 100% guarantee you that you can change the spray pattern, in minutes, of 99% of the...

@Timry2 .... what you said and also I went to my Ford dealer to see if Ford Performance sold one and the parts manager, who I know personally, told me it would void the Ford warranty. In my case that's 5 YEARS or 100,000 Kms. If true, why would I jeopardize that?

@2024S650 ..... I bet Ford changes that in 2025?

@Pyroguy ...... I'm a bit late to this party so you have probably read Tony Unica's post on the holes that are in your front fender liners that allow gravel shot by the front tires to get all over the inside of the belly and side pans and damage your car - IMO - severely over the ling term and...

@Lakersfreak ..... I used to build houses. Why is your driveway crowned like that? From what I see it would be easy to use a cut saw to score both ends of the rise then break-up in between the lines and re pour in a flatter angle. If you need the slope to keep rain from running down the driveway...

@JAM486HP ..... I'm really late to this party but I bet you haven't switched ratios as you have found out by now that the 2024 GT pulls straight all the way from zero on. The 2024 GT 5.0 is one of the truest x/y straight line pullers ever. Middleton Motor Sports posted a great video of Dyno...

@DemonWorks ..... the big ones for me were the one piece screen - a big incentive, as was dual zone climate controls, B&O with trunk sub, full leather (heated and cooled) seats, with color choice. There are a lot of other cosmetics that I appreciated too. I'll see if I can attach a picture of...

@DevilDog ..... I had gateway modules on a big cruiser I owned a few years ago. They managed the flow of electronic data to the radar, GPS, engines, generator etc. Here's the IMO interesting point. The dealer had to replace them multiple times. I called the supplier and spoke with one of the...
