Because the Trofeos will be damaged sitting outside the factory if it gets cold. Very fragile compared to the P-Zeros or Michelins. They cars are made in Michigan and it can get down to zero farenheit or colder in the winter...
BMW is doing fine selling coupes:
The M2 had an excellent 2024, with demand rising by 64%, while the more practical M3 Touring was up by 57%
Corvette sales are up, too. Neck and neck with the Mustang.
I know as Camaro owners got older they would 'graduate' to Corvettes, maybe Mustang guys are...
It's not that its a sports car, it's that it's "cool"
Or it was cool.
Looked cool. Made you cool. Sure it had terrible back seats, sucked in the snow, blah blah.
Majority of them were the V6 models in the 'cool' days.
They aren't cool anymore. It was a fashion accessory. People would rather...
The Mustang has had a sales problem since 2007 or so. They went from selling 130,000+ a year down to 80,000 a year. And that was probably fine because it's double what they sold last year. They had a very short spike in 2015 when they updated the 10-year old chassis but it didn't last long...
I think a lot of the people who buy Mustangs (at least the ones that are still buying them) aren't a fan of 'lectric cars.
Especially the disgrace of the Mach E.
Already covered that. Because you could get one for like $15k off. Before that it sold like crap.
From Feb 2024:
"According to caredge.com the Ford Mach E is now the slowest selling EV in US and 3rd slowest selling vehicle of any kind with a 362 market day supply on dealer lots."
You forgot the 'Brembo' caliper covers!
You can still do headers. You can still do useless stuff like an aftermarket air intake and filters.
The tune is a lot more agressive than before so a 93 tune isn't going to do a lot. Not that it did a ton on the S550.
The big thing is you can't run E85...
Mustang buyers didn't flock to electric cars. Plus, the Mach E sold like trash until last year (because Ford pushed huge discounts, it still sells far worse than any Tesla model)
Does anyone have the current recommendation from ford? Don't see it in the owners manual
There this online but it's very vague and relates to the whole car not specifically the engine
Probably worth reading what some engine builders and piston manufacturers say about break-in
