My Mustang is finally scheduled!

I just heard back from my sales rep. Their inventory manager stated that GT Performance Packages and Manual Transmissions are "slow to the line" - whatever that means. However, they did bump my priority from 5 to 1. I'm out two months with no schedule.

I have been reading that some manufacturers are using motion sensing key fobs. If the fob isn't moved for ~60 seconds, the fob stops transmitting. This prevents fob Cloning.

I have read a little about the OBDII Port on most if not all modern cars. I have also read that there is software called FORSCAN that is specifically designed for Ford and a few other manufacturers to provide similar information. However, it also requires a physical adapter but it does not...

I received my first (hopefully last) 45-day delay email from Ford. This email indicated "supply chain" issues. However, my dealer (today) said my order was "Clean" which meant "all parts available". Hurry up and wait.

I've seen several YouTube videos showcasing the AVE thru all 4 modes, including "Quiet". I've also seen a few videos with the standard (2-tip) exhaust. They seem pretty loud as well. Hence my question. Is the AVE in "Quiet" mode quieter than the standard exhaust?

The last car (and only car) I have ordered from Ford was a 1966 Mustang, 289, w/4-speed manual. Cost about $2,500.00. I can't remember how long the build took, but the car was wonderful. The only mod I put on it was an Abarth (quad tip) exhaust system. It sounded sweet. As you can see in my...

Having ordered on 12/6/23, I have lost at least 6 days of production. I'm hoping to hear something this month. You'd think I'd be more patient!

I am used to a 4-cyl turbo, so anything above 2,500 rpm I can get a good kick without downshifting. The naturally aspirated 5.0 L Coyote will not behave the same way. I'll be doing a lot of manual downshifting to get the same kind of kick. What is the power band?

I ran across this video that indicates that Congress has ALREADY PASSSED this particular statute in H.R.3684 - Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021-2022. Supposedly the statute is involved in monitoring the driver and potentially controlling the vehicle if an algorithm determines the...

I understand that Carbon Fiber is supposed to be light & strong. It also has a cool look. However, I have witnessed a simple Carbon Fiber license plate frame look like crap after 3 years. The gloss coating has yellowed and has started to peel. What's the point for exterior mods that will be...

I don't care for the stock shift knob. I am looking for a white, Bullitt style knob or perhaps a black one. None of the knobs I have seen have a metal (brass) threaded insert for screwing the knob onto the shift lever. Many seem to have plastic inserts. These may strip too easily. Suggestions?

I figured the Mustang assembly plant would be shutdown during the the weeks before Christmas and New Years, but I have also read that "some" plants will be shutdown for an additional week. Does anyone have any definitive information on this? Having ordered 12/6, I'm guessing this adds 2-3 weeks...

I am quite new to this process having ordered my S650 a mere 10 days ago. However, I would like to get an idea of the time frame between the stages of Order Confirmation, Scheduled for Production, Built, and Shipped. My dealer told me that the entire process should take about 3 months. My...

Given all the electronics in new cars these days, I am considering an extended warranty. I know Ford offers one. To be prepared with a competitive policy, I checked with Endurance on their "Supreme" policy - $100.00 deductible, 8 years (actually 5 after the standard warranty) or 101K miles...

There seems to be an availability or configuration problem with the DH performance package. Is there the same issue with the GT performance package?

I understand the S650 has the capability to do "over the air" software updates. I am assuming it would either be Wi-Fi as in your home wireless Internet or Wi-Fi/Bluetooth over your smartphone and using cellular data. Am I missing something here? Cellular data could get expensive if you have...

I have ordered a 2024 GT Premium, 6-Speed Manual, GT Premium High, GT Performance Pkg, Active Valve Exhaust, & Magnaride Damping. Ford recommends Regular gas (87 Octane rating). What is the general consensus on this? Regular, mid-grade, Super?

Just placed an order for a 2024 Mustang GT Premium, 6-Speed Manual, Oxford White, GT Premium High, GT Performance Pkg, Active Valve Exhaust, Power Driver Seat, Magnaride Damping - on 12/6/2023. I am new to this scheduling "game". Dealer told me three months +/-. How do I check up on it?
