What's that have to do with mustangs? Bird flu affects engine prices?
Eggs are like gas one week it's up the next it's down. I was buying them for $2/18 pack a couple weeks ago and they'll be back down to that again soon
Older than the internet itself:
* Oil Change instructions for Men:*
1) Wait until Saturday, drive to auto parts store and buy a case of oil, filter, kitty litter, hand cleaner and a
scented tree, write a check for $50.00.
2) Stop by 7/11 and buy a case of beer, write a check for $20, drive...
Increase in over $10k since 2021 is nuts
$8k in two years is even more nuts.
In 2023 the Camaro LT1 (base V8 model) started at $36,695
The Mustang used to be a relatively inexpensive car.
They quit making the Camaro, Challenger, and Charger
BTW, the Challenger outsold the Mustang in 2022 and 2021, and the leftover 2023 models of the Challenger/Charger combined outsold the 2024 Mustang
I'd personally run a 17x10 +50 with a 305/45-17 or a 19x11 +50 with a 305/35-19
None of the 18" tire sizes do it for me except for 305/40-18
What profile do you want to run, is it important to you to have a front wheel that matches your rear wheels, etc
Some old quotes, not to turn this into an oil thread...
Mike Riley, Product Design Engineer with Ford Motor Company:

I'm talking about the last couple years before they switched back to 5W-30 in 2021. Meanwhile they always said to use thicker oil 'at the track' in the manual. And the track pack cars recommended 5W-50, with the exact same engine as the regular GT.
They started with 5W-30 for the modular...
Only the most extreme tires will straight up crack in the cold (like the Trofeos on the DH), but I would not be surprised if taking the tires down to below freezing temps causes slight changes to the tires, similar to heat cycling. But I could be wrong.
Oddly enough I see the BMW M vehicles out...
C&D said they ran into the auto overheating when they tested it.
There is a thread on TMO about 10R80 cooling
https://trackmustangsonline.com/threads/10r80-automatic-trans-cooling-questions.14765/
The base GT is 42k, the supercharger kit is 11k, they sell it for a total of 53k
They also probably roll a couple discounts in there
They have been doing this for years.
