I added a screen protector to my 2024 wide screen early on and it is a really great change. Shows ZERO fingerprints and maintains full visibility. Was very easy to install, just follow the directions exactly and take your time. It has been on now almost two years with no problems. Just a...
I purposely avoided the dual-mode exhaust as didn't think it was worth the ask. I added Ford Performance X-pipe on my 5.0 and it sounds great all the time. Maybe a little loud at start-up as it dumps fuel to get the cats fired up, but otherwise very nice. As I row through the gears (mine is...
On my 2024, you can hear the parking brake engage when you pull up on the little lever. I have never had the issue you describe, but hearing the brake engage should ease any worries about what is being displayed. But, no doubt, the display should not be erroneous regardless. Probably some...
Great looking installation for sure! What tune are you looking to do? I have done suspension and exhaust on my 2024 and am considering this same CAI and a tune with it that actually makes a difference would be good package! Thanks.
Well, Tigerchevelle, as the proverbial "really old" guy (78 in my case), I take your thinking as constructive advice, rather than criticism! I wouldn't mind doing this type of stuff, and have done similar in the past, but getting a car up high enough on jack stands to crawl under and do this...
I have Ford Perf X-pipe on my 2024 GT and had shop do the install. It isn't that hard IF you have access to a lift. It is basically cut off the resonator at the right places and fit the X-pipe into the opening, with clamps to hold everything together. But, it would be WAY tough (IMO) without...
Those offsets really work! Especially the rears. Notice any issue versus stock? Dropping to 35 aspect ratio versus 40 stock also has slight impact, unless the larger width offsets? Nice look regardless!
Comparing your build sheet and pricing to my very similar 2024 gives some interesting insight to Ford's pricing strategies:
You had to add $1160 for the B&O sound system, $700 for the anti-theft along with the $2900 401A option to equal exactly what my $2900 401A option included! Plus, your...
I have 2024 GT with std exhaust. I did Ford Performance X-Pipe resonator delete and am quite happy with the result. The X-pipe did open up the sound nicely without being too raucous. I get some pops on over-run, but nothing extreme. The X-pipe plus install was maybe $300, so very reasonable...
I bet the dealer inventory buys are more like 90-95% auto, unless Ford forces a slight push of manuals. Not that many younger buyers interested in manuals anymore, or even know how to use them! Sort of sad, but that is how we are ending up with EVs and no tranny at all! Agree if you want a...
Guys, if you can do Mustang Unleashed, DO IT! They do a TERRIFIC job at this one-day event of giving you significant track time plus some very good smaller driving events. Totally worth it!
@AZ_Ryan I agree with your thoughts here 100%! These are NOT hand-built, $200K cars! Plus, they have LOTS of very complex technology and performance parts, which is why we love them in the first place! Just me, but trying to nit-pick every little appearance item on a car like the Mustang is...
Both R8s were fantastic! The first was 2015 Competition model, only about 60 in the US, but had DCT, which although it operated perfectly well, just didn't do it for me (I'm on old-time MT guy). The second was MT conversion on earlier 2012 V10 with the gated shifter, etc and it was much more...
Very interesting thread here! I have owned several BMWs, plus Porsches of the late 90's into 2010 period and they were all great cars. Only issue became maintenance cost out of warranty that made me move on to a great couple of Vettes (C6/7), again both really nice cars with great performance...
Trella: thanks! I actually applied mine higher than intended as you can see. Mine sit above the concave section near the rocker panel. But I liked the look better that way, seemed to lighten the look of the side better in the higher position. Made the fit-up at the rear wheel look a little...
Sent this photo before, but here are the side stripes I did on my 24 GT with the black/red OEM top stripes. Makes a very nice looking combo and similar to what you are proposing from RTR, but with a little more total coverage. I added the red stripe in the middle with a custom red vinyl stripe...
Sounds interesting, but suspicious as well! Will be fun to see how this develops. AWE is a good company, so hopefully, they will have some solid info on how this would upgrade our 5.0s.
Well, the AS/S feature had proven to be a gas saver over the entire population for many years. Facts are facts, guys, and let's not confuse what is going on here with reality! Just like doing away with the Fed Govt authority to legislate climate change laws, this has nothing to do with the...
Just a practical comment here on my 2024 GT Premium with std 6MT. I find it just fine to drive in all situations. The shift action is smooth and fast and the ratios seem just fine for street and spirited backroad driving. You never get past 4th in those modes anyway, so the big drop-off going...
