That being the case then you may indeed be the alpha party in the negotiation. Hopefully it works out in your favor! And you’re right. Often “confrontation“ is a good way to describe the process.

The dealer couldn’t care any less what supporting evidence of trade in value a customer brings in. In fact, out of your earshot they’ll probably get a good laugh out of it sharing with each other. They’ll make you an offer which may be high (doubtful), low or in between. You can accept it or...

They could make me real happy if they’d come out with a 1965 Shelby “throwback” version. All analog except where impossible, real gauges and buttons and switches but of course Coyote powered with Tremec 6 speed only. And oh yeah, all for a hundred grand sticker and they figure out some legal...

This right here. Rather than multi-quote all the other correct responses so far let me just say the first thing I did was to look and see what country the OP was from. Don’t they quote RWHP in some European countries? Otherwise yes, I’m pretty sure he’s the only one who feels misled. Tell the...

I guess I might be missing the point of this. The throttle on any car is like a rheostat, ie, it’s infinitely variable. If the car frightens you just press down more lightly. It’s not gonna suffer demonic possession like an ‘85 Audi and take off on it‘s own. Somehow asking “how much HP is too...

Two things come to mind: First, as a big S550 fan I’ve admittedly been a little slow to come around to the S650. But yours immediately strikes me as one of the best looking cars I’ve seen in a while. The black and white theme really makes it. If you get bored I’d love to see a closer shot of...

Got it jay, thanks! Is your new GT modded or are you just planning ahead? I wouldn’t have thought a stock GT could use that much meat!

Here‘s the greater question: WTH is a “drag pack” anyway? Is that even a thing?

I don’t mean to offend anyone but good grief guys, if I had to put this much thought into driving a manual (or any car for that matter) I’d have to attach a discharge tube to my drool cup and run it through the floorboard to the ground. I’m gonna say if one has to consult a checklist going down...

Wait. Was your cover one (like my two) that was ordered with the car and actually shown as a line item on the window sticker? If so, the leverage you had would have only been present if you had checked for it at delivery and demanded an IOU if it wasn’t there. (They come to the parts dept. in...

This right here!

Mine too and I find it kinda shocking that she likes it, even in my convertible with the top down. If I take off say after fueling up and forget to toggle over to track mode, she’ll ask me within a mile if something is wrong with the engine. Can‘t imagine not having it.

The issue, if there is one seems pretty obvious to me. The actual 550/650 differences, small as they may be, have created a distinctly different culture around the two cars. This is just exactly as Ford intended and what they saw as necessary to insure the ongoing existence of the car. In this...

Yeah, I do too but when the downshift to second throws the Rs over 6000 it’s a little too much and probably unnecessary. It would still be well in the powerband if it had stayed in third. Maybe since I’m in track mode it thinks I really am at the track and it’s doing me a favor, IDK.

Yep, this right here is totally logical.

Guys I’m not sure I’m feeling the love on this theory. First of all, if you did get the buckle caught between the jamb and the door there’d be no way you wouldn’t notice it when you slammed the door. The door wouldn’t even shut, it would bounce back open. Plus, who slams a door that hard anyway...

Several reasons come to mind. It’s on my wife’s Subie and I truly hate it so I speak from experience. First, no matter how hard you try, it’s easy to forget to disable it. Secondly, it adds needless complexity and expense. Finally, it’s only a matter of time until it will no longer be...

Would you say that is true even when the 10R80 decides to do a 6800 rpm short shift from 6-7? I was thinking if one were using the paddles he could hold it in the lower gear longer. https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/10r80-6-7-gear-shifts-at-lower-rpm.195328/ Of course, two things may be...

No, it’s not just you. I can’t imagine what could have done it but it had to be one heck of a lick. That’s not just sheet metal.

That‘s certainly cool too. I’ve got a couple of V8 A10s myself and really enjoy them. I’ve decided I’m gonna bone up on paddle shifting in “S” position on the selector and see how I like it. One of mine, the Mach 1 A10, has WAY too aggressive of a 3-2 downshift in track mode when braking while...
