@Jarstang .... looks like the propane gas hook-ups that were popular years ago but could be a new application oh hydrogen hybrids. Toyota is apparently betting its future on them.
@Ciulster ..... Please google the Tony Unica video on Mustang Fender Fails. I drove my new 2024GT from the dealer home on 90% 400 series roads and there was sand and gravel all over under the new for 2024 Mustang fiber belly pan (under the engine) and below the new for 2024 fiber pans under the...
@Ciulster .....I guess this means you are going to drive it in the winter. At least, I believe, Alberta does not salt the roads as the temperatures are usually lower than the point where the salt works. Ontario does and Mustangs driven there are soon damaged. Nevertheless, I hope you have...
@Adamrx11 ..... no there is no comparison. Respectfully, it isn't even fair to compare. Although Ford has done an amazing job of stiffening the S650 convertible's frame - it now has two under frame stiffening bars that are now welded to a robust steel plate instead of just bolted to the trunk...
@Gregs24 ..... There is probably an off-Mustang thread on this forum for political discussions but in short the Dutch just voted-in the new series of coalitions as a result of the previous failed coalitions of socialists and nanny state doctrine devotees not dissimilar to the situation my...
@Skye .... yeah, it's called socialism. I lived in Europe for four years. The socialistic ideas are drummed into them their entire lives, particularly in their schools, while we in North America are taught to achieve and excel, not follow along like a bunch of sheep. My Dutch friend, a...
@Dragster.... some great points but respectfully if Ford charged for their Mustangs what GM charges for their Corvettes that would be a completely different story and until GM's recent up-grades to the Corvette engine it was old school and no where near as power efficient as the Gen 4 Coyote...
@9secondko ..... well said - and - the Mustang convertible had about 30% more room in the trunk when compared the last year both were made. Just left a coffee shop about an hour ago. A guy hit the pedal when leaving. I assume it was a 2023 Camaro as it looked brand new and it was the...
@ThreePedalPlow ..... always bring it to the dealer hot. Some dealerships will wait a bit if the oil is super hot so the techs don't get burned. Uncle worked for Shell oil as a chemist. There is no doubt and I mean NO doubt. When the oil is first heated to operating temperature, the many...
@Adamrx11 ...... my opinion always use full synthetic. Ford Motorcraft oil is very good and so is their oil filter. Depending on where and how often you drive, you could start by checking your air filters monthly. That way you will know when they get dirt and bugs in them and to what extent...
@Mr Hyde ..... also regarding extended warranties - dealers love/hate them. they love to sell them they hate to honor them. They make good cash selling them they get less that shop menu price working non them and also hate the paperwork. FWIW - I had a friend who owned a GM dealership, he said...
@asc709 .... a few hundred miles? Just a baby! You are probably way ahead of me on this but respectfully when you do your first oil change I would recommend FULL synthetic and pre-filling the oil filter before installation. I had my tech fill the oil filter before he started changing the oil...
@asc709 ..... from a friend who races Mustangs, his opinion, fwiw, the 10R80 is an amazing transmission. Ford has changed the programming from earlier years for the 2024 S650 and that has made it far "crisper" (his words). He says it is a very fast shifting and very robust transmission. He did...
@Gray_3 ..... The noise could be said to be transmission related - in that it's the straight cut gears for the transmissions gear driven fluid pump. Apparently the Camaro (same transmission due to joint Ford/GM research) makes less noise as GM put some kind of sound dampening in place. I'm not...
@FarNorth ..... absolutely staggering. My Mustang keeps telling me to put two hands on the wheel even when I HAVE two hands on the wheel - bet the Insurance company would love that.
@S650_Ponygirl ..... agreed some days it is just too cold to hand wash but not where you are now......and I do get it that some people have to use car washes. You did indeed have a beautiful 2014 GT. Quite a difference in power and handling between the 2014 and 2024. It looks like your 2024 is...
@samson ..... absolutely the answer is never in a car wash. Have owned 5 convertibles. Car washes are highly destructive. Take your convertible to a hand wash site and put towels (I find two large work) around the perimeter at the back where the top meets the trunk so no water pools there. Then...
@Adamrx11 ..... I owned a building company. While building we installed sprinkler systems on every house we built. First for the owners' convenience then in later years to meet city watering ordinances. I 100% guarantee you that you can change the spray pattern, in minutes, of 99% of the...
