So agree.
My wife drives 1 mile to work and mostly makes local runs (Costco, Target, WalMart, etc. the usual suburban haunts). She would have definitely benefited from an EV. We even put a solar array on our house about 12 years ago to be good neighbors.
But, about 2 years ago I thought it...

Not only made big monies on big investments in alternative energies, but also made money on books and movies to peddle his message. Seems this was about green (money, not energy)...
It is not required for S550 or S650 Torsens. It won't hurt and it is not already in the Motorcraft fluid that Ford sells by the quart over the counter. I can't say that it's that way if the shop or dealer have it already in bulk or use fluid from a different vendor (Amsoil, Valvoline, etc.)...
I thought Dark Horse has Torsen, which does not use clutches (the limited slip is from it's worm gear design), therefore they don't need the friction modifier. Can't hurt to have it in other than it stinks and cost money and must be a certain proportion (otherwise there will be too much or not...
That one Silver 2025 6 speed manual with PP and Prem being $10k off seems to be a SMOKING deal (basically those packages are free). The blend date being mid September, definitely not on the lot that long. I'd be wary about driving that one home in wintry conditions with those tires, they're not...
The 2024 Monroney's (based on $1225 Active Exhaust) are very weird, but the 2025 (based on $1595 Active Exhaust) seem normal. In all the hundreds of Mustang window stickers, I've never seen them look like the 2024's. I even went to the generic Ford Window Sticker web site (that is, not through...
The one with $1595 active valve exhaust isn’t a first year car. The one with the $1200 active exhaust is. Neither of them are “Job 1” within the first 6 months (June - December of 2023) because stop/start stop wasn’t available. If you can see the full Monroney sticker you can see the blend date...
As long it's the same color, you can probably switch the driver side visors from your old to your new car as long as it still has the power feed for the LED's in the mirror. My 2024 didn't come with one, so I bought a homelink visor on ebay from a totaled out car with the same interior color.
That is the first I am hearing of this. My understanding is that they're both mechanical, the Torsen being the worm-gear type vs. the standard limited slip, which is indeed clutch/spring based but uses a friction modifying additive to alter the amount of slip (not enough additive results in more...
1) Note that the front heavier 6 pot caliper and rotors can readily be added afterward (since the front hubs are the same) as long as you can clear the size of the caliper with 19” wheel. The rear 4 pot with drift brake and in-cabin console cannot (since the rear hubs are different and there’s...
I have had problems with (from?) cars sitting on dealer lots.
2007 Chrysler Aspen 5.7 hemi sat on the lot for 10 months. A couple years of ownership had a pinion seal leak. Covered under warranty, but took 2 dealers to get it right. Had that car until January 2024 with only small/typical...
Mine is a late 2023 built 2 years ago. I’ve had it more than a year and a half over 11,000 miles. No big problems, only a couple little ones covered by warranty. Gaps were perfect too.
2024 MSRP was lower especially the ones built in 2023 by thousands. So you may get an even better deal if that’s important to you. Also 2023 built cars won’t have start/stop but will have gas guzzler tax especially if they’re manuals.
If you get the PP I’d guess only a front take-off wheel/tire would fit as a rear diameter is taller overall and It may only go down into the well partially. My son and I have full size in the trunk (non PP’s) and the standard diameter just fits.
I don’t know the ramifications of running a...
I'm pretty sure yours does if it's a GT, part number FR3Z-6A642-A. While not ideal, since it's an air-to-water cooler, it does its job (as long as it doesn't leak). But that's not the problem with the S650. While they do make an oil cooler kit for the S650 part number M6642M50D, which will cool...
The standard GT comes with the smaller 4 pot Brembos in the front, which fit with an 18” wheel. The rears are smaller calipers (not Brembos) so that won’t be a problem either.
However in the front, I’m pretty sure you’d need 19” front to clear the big 6 pot Brembos if you get the Brembo brake...
There are some things on the S650 GT’s that are hard to change (electronically and/or mechanically), which limits your aftermarket or after purchase options vs. older Mustangs (S550 specifically):
1) oil temp on all S650’s are inferred (there’s no actual/physical sensor). While you can add an...
