I have a Gen 1 Coyote car. 6-speed manual, axle-back exhaust, otherwise totally stock. I eat 5.7L Hemi cars for lunch, and 6.4L Hemi cars aren't faster than me either. So I would imagine that a full bolt-on Coyote car of any generation could make light work of a stock or lightly modded Hemi...
I bought the tuning/CAI package for my '13 5.0 last month.
I can't comment on the tuning because I sent my "tuning form" back on May 25th. Today is June 6th. Crickets. Every time I call, the "tuning guy" is either busy, away, or on lunch. No return calls. So IF they ever actually respond, I'll...
On my Ram pickup, there is a button on the infotainment screen that says "brake service mode". Press that button and boom you're ready to work.
This shouldn't be rocket science. But of course Ford wants dealers to make $2,500 per brake job.
That's where you have gone wrong. A lot of radio transmission IS just a "bloke and a transmitter". Ever heard of the Amateur Radio Emergency Service? There are commercial AM stations (many of which don't require internet connectivity or influence from the outside world) and then you've got...
Some of you guys are short-sighted.
New technology is great until it isn't. In a true national emergency, good luck using your crApple products or the internet.
Not to mention, at night AM stations can be picked up for hundreds of miles. Free sports programming, etc.
New isn't always better.
Funny, because I've had probably 30 vehicles over the last 25 years and the European ones have been the biggest pieces of s*** I've ever owned. Poorly engineered, terrible engines, can't work on them without taking half the car apart, expensive, don't last, cheap interiors, just junk. I swore...
100%
Do not give us an engine that has to spin to 7,000 RPM and beyond before it finally wakes up, and then saddle us with a transmission that can only handle 4,500 RPM shifts. That's the dumbest piece of engineering I've ever seen in my life. Like I have said before, the MT82 zaps every bit...
7,250 RPM? How often are people at 7,000+ RPM? That's always been my beef with the 5.0. The TOP end power is great, but from 1,000 RPM to 4,000 RPM where people normally drive it's nothing special. In fact, at those engine speeds I can't even tell it's different from the old 4.6 3V, or a...
Drive it like an old man going to the grocery store and it's picture perfect.
Drive it like a Mustang GT and the 2 to 3 shift grinds or gets locked completely out, the 4 to 5 shift gets locked completely out, and then the clutch pedal stays on the floor until I pump it several times. It does...
Exactly. I still (unfortunately) have a 2013 MT82 and it kills the fun in this car every time I drive it. There is no amount of money you could discount a Mustang by that would convince me to buy another MT82.
Funny you mention that. When I bought my current GT Premium with "Shaker" audio, no joke I honestly thought it was broken. I thought there was something wrong with it. It sounds so horrible that I didn't believe there was any way this could be normal. The last time I had audio this poor was...
Thanks, looks like Premium does add some things I love. Heated steering wheel, power seat, auto climate control, and upgraded audio system. I have gotten used to those things on my pickup truck and I would want those in a new car these days.
Is there a good chart that shows what GT Premium adds over GT? In the past the Premium didn’t really add much. I’m trying to decide if it’s worth several thousand dollars to go Premium over a base GT with the options I want.
I don’t guess I understand the gas guzzler tax. My current 5.0 Mustang gets 22 MPG EASILY on a 40% city/60% highway commuting week. That’s better than a LOT of vehicles in the U.S. which do not get hit with a tax. I don’t understand taxing a vehicle that gets over 20 MPG when you’ve got full...
Yeah that's my problem with it mainly. It looks like an afterthought. It doesn't flow into the dash at all. Sticks out like a sore thumb. I haven't sat in a S650 but from the pics I've seen I believe the way the center screen is positioned may even interfere with visibility.
There's no...
Well that's true. My speedo is WAY off in factory form. I guess with the digital screen you can make it fast and perhaps calibration can be built in as a feature. That would be neat.
I do think the '23 interior looks WAY better, but I can't decide if that's enough of an issue to keep me from...
