While it's getting colder lately and it gets dark around 5pm now in the Midwest, it's going to be 75 degrees around 1pm and the trees have turned every color of the rainbow. I know exactly where I will be spending every single minute of my lunch break shortly.

Yea, according to the owners manual normal oil consumption doesn't begin until about 3,000 miles. This leads me to believe things are probably still wearing in until around that time.

What RPM are you launching from and what rear wheel / tire combo are you using? How long of a burnout are you doing beforehand to warm up the tires? I haven't done any testing from a dead stop yet. I'm just rocking the standard 8.5" Continentals for now but plan on upgrading to a 19 x 11 setup...

I was hoping they would release a performance pack with a tune that would also allow for 4.08 gears kind of like they released for the S550. You know, something that adds decent power and isn't likely to cost $20,000 installed. The warranty is nice if that basically means they won't void your...

Do you feel all the extra torque when you are just casually driving around under 3,000 rpm or so or is it just when you put the pedal to the floor that all the extra power is available down low?

What are the details of your rear setup if you don't mind me asking? Could you share a picture or two?

I found a 20 x 11.5 wheel I like but could go to a 20 x 11.0 if need be. I'm wondering if the 11.5 would stick out of the wheel well too much as well. I don't care if it sticks out some at the bottom of the wheel well but I don't want it to stick out at the top of the wheel well. I'm pretty sure...

Did the Mach 1 have rear seat delete in this comparison? Might be getting my videos mixed up.

I wouldn't say the testing conditions were exactly ideal for the Dark Horse either. Not sure how slick the roads were but there were puddles of water all over the place.

Yea, they might introduce skip shift later on too which would make you go from 1st to 3rd or 4th or however they want to program it really. I would absolutely despise either feature ( auto start/stop or skip shift ) on a manual and it could get both down the road. I have a gas getter for my...

From what I heard it was possible the manual was going to get it somehow too. I was second guessing the idea of it but I'm guessing if you are at a stop pressing the brake pedal and in neutral the car would turn off if they wanted to put it on manual cars as well. The car would then...

Yup, and I have been trying to get into a new Mustang since 2011 when the 5.0 first came back. I gradually made more and more money since then but things kept popping up and the Mustang kept gradually getting more and more expensive. Eventually you just have to accept that there is rarely a...

Right, I know everyone says don't buy the first model year but the Coyote has been around since 2011 so I don't feel like I'm taking a huge risk mechanically speaking and the rest of the driveline / suspension isn't that much different than the S550. While there is a lot of new technology in the...

In moments of regret I remind myself that the Camaro is gone, the Challenger and Charger are gone and auto start / stop is coming to the Mustang maybe even later this same model year. Financially, I wanted to wait maybe 3 more years for the refresh but who knows what kind of EPA non-sense will...

Yes, and I would just add that they mentioned the reason may be due to the S650 having better exhaust from the start than the S550 hence the 6 HP gain when selecting active exhaust.

I'm happy with the car overall. As far as the lighting goes cup holder rings would be nice as well as a glove box light and better lighting in the trunk as well. I rarely use the glove box or trunk though. I was kind of surprised by how many groceries I could fit in there one day when I didn't...

Thanks for the honest dyno interpretation. Isn't there some weight savings with this modification as well? Any idea what the weight savings is if so?

Is it around 7200 RPM and are you driving a manual or an automatic? I'm driving a manual and it seems so weird to shift before redline after a lifetime of driving manuals. I'm shifting at 7,000 rpm to try and avoid this with a redline of 7,500. Why didn't they just make redline where fuel cutoff...

MotorTrend has ok content but I can't take this particular video of theirs seriously when they are comparing an automatic to a manual when both vehicles are available with auto and manual transmissions. An apples to apples comparison was easily possible yet they still botched this.
