@young at heart ..... actually a family member spent 30 years as an automotive design engineer for GM and thinks the two holes should be plugged immediately. As for me, I think it is just common sense.
@TonyP66...... there are hundreds of posts and thread lines on this topic. General consensus: the two holes are an error. They are not needed to install/remove any part, they have zero to do with any type of ground effect or air flow. Ford corporate has, so far, been unwilling to comment. By far...
@ChitownStang ..... It's under a winter cover but I'll lift it to take a picture. To be honest I installed them last April and they fit so perfectly that now with some road dust on the inner fender wells you can't really see them. You can Google Diyvan.com and Hein shows how the kits he designed...
@jimbo67 ..... yes, really annoying. Small comfort but Jeep and Buick also have the same problem because of aluminum hoods. In the factories steel dust drifts in the air no matter how hard companies try to control it. If any gets on aluminum you have a high chance of getting a "reaction" between...
@ChitownStang ..... awesome post! Great comparisons. I have had three stangs too but not a Mach 1. My 2024 GT Premium Convertible is hands down the best engineered Mustang I have ever been in. I too was real skeptical about the glass screens but now love them (unreal graphics did a super job...
@kinelisch ..... FWIW here's what I do. First, I have only driven my Mustangs from April to November. I inspect them once in a while to see how many insects and dust have accumulated. I have put a shop vac on them mid summer to get rid of bugs and dirt. So far, I have replaced engine air...
@larietrope ..... I was told Wix made the air filters for Ford. If true that's a superb filter. No matter what you would be IMO waaaay better off to buy the Ford filters and change them more often than the much more expensive filters.
@krisk ......"Now, we’ll see what happens when it’s 95 degrees with 100% humidity, which will happen in a few months"......... My prediction is that it will still be excellent as I am sure you know the insulation value of spray "foam:" to reject cold and heat is essentially the same. Having...
I can go on the Ford website and complete a build order for either a 2024 or a 2025 Mustang GT convertible. I thought that was weird. I did not actually progress to the point where I tried to actually order one - but I did drop into a Ford dealership and was told either model year was still...
No loss to me, always hated the super ugly dash and the tinny sound of the exhausts from 2014 on ....now the "old" Camaros, well that's different. BTW if you compare Mustang and Camaro convertible trunk space the Mustang has about 30% more room.
After 10 months now love the screen. No problems with my 1000 song play list from my old ipod. Yes the screen up-dates but so do my phones, tablets, notebooks and computer towers - as they have been for years and they cause glitches too. Really pi$$ed with your mustang screen - what will your...
@highvoltage ....yes, it could be a an oil pan gasket but I wonder why it wouldn't have leaked sooner. To test you can wipe the area dry then drive it a bit. I would also look from above, maybe with a trouble light. Could some oil have been spilled during an oil change that ran down the block...
@Gregs24 ..... re-listened to the video at louder volume. You're right, that's not piston slap. I don't know why it's happening "almost" every time and not every time. It could be a low fluid level or air in a system that's making the noise erratic but that's just guessing on my part - I'd take...
@S650 lover ..... The sound you hear may be mild piston slap. This can occur for for up to 20 minutes with the 2024 GT engine. Mine does this and will do so for about 20 minutes - even when it is at normal operating temperature. It will go away after that. My friends/family and I used to build...
@24BlueStang ..... feel very badly for you BUT my friend's car was hit by a neighbour and his own insurance (who he called for advice) said take pictures of the damage so you can show a potential purchaser in the future that it was very light (almost cosmetic) and not a big hit on a corner that...
Quotre from @Q6543 " ....very little money, if any will go to future ICE development." ..... Really? .....and just this week three Scandinavian countries told EV owners to not plug their crappy little EVs into the electrical grid as electrical grids couldn't handle them AND today at the Munich...
Doesn't bother me at all. It's only about 300 pounds heavier than my 2024 GT convertible which handles awesome and goes like stink with just 480HP. The GTD has a lot of heavier racing components on it. Unless you want to spent waaay north of 500K it costs huge money to create speed, performance...
@bimmerborn ..... AWESOME. I have its sister only she's a convertible. Vapor blue, 301A package, auto trans (with paddles) upgraded rims, B&O stereo upgrade with trunk sub. Got all options off the sticker price plus a Ford $2,000.00 discount. Probably got the deals as I bought the car in March...
