Been there done that. Three on the tree for my licence test. Plus the handbrake cable broke on the hill start.

FWIW. My wifes car with DSG was an absolute dog when new. Weird shift points, holding gears way too long after kickdown, jerky engagement, etc. Dealer did a reset and it was transformed. Shifting perfectly, smooth as silk. It's not a Mustang, but it's worth trying.

If I could have two Mustangs, one would be a 6 speed, and not a daily driver. Traffic with a manual is just a PIA.

Yeah, that Sam is less than great. I'm not a big fan of Matt Watson though. He'll be more watchable (listenable?) when his balls drop. When he gets excited only dogs can hear him.

After the climate controls in my wife's car, the Mustang is excellent. Set it on auto, then you can make minor adjustments like fan speed, temp, seats, just on the screen, no menus. It also maintains temp better than any other car I've had.

V6? That's surprising. But N/A with enough TB's has always had the best throttle response.

I know what Mr Wink is saying, I wouldn't have gone for the 4 pot. I've had mostly 4's and the odd 6 all my life. It was time for 8 flying in a V formation.

Not that Sam, the Sam in Carwow. The one they call Sam the Racing driver. He's actually pretty good driver, but not so much with menus.

Possibly, but it'll be minimal. Definitely a lot more dino juice, tyres will wear faster, brakes too if you use them much. Speed costs, how fast can you afford? :sunglasses:

What model Audi? My Cupra had the VAG EA888 4 cyl turbo and there was nothing like that unless the revs were around 1000/1200. Even then it was minor.

As far as the Brembos go, mine had a slight mushy feel at first, but after 2000kms or so that went away. They now have instant bite, great modulation. It could be that the rotors need bedding in as well as the pads

Given the right unrestricted road you could sit on 6k or 7k rpm for as long as the various temps allow.

Jeez, that's wasting 5000 rpm.

A DCT would transform an S650. That and AWD can make a 300hp car as quick to 60 as the Mustang, or very damn close at least. I wouldn't buy an AWD Mustang though.

Sam on Carwow didn't scroll far enough to find drag mode.

Lots of radiators, headers and other heat sources. Plus alloy is used much more, thermal efficiency is high, power creates heat, etc, etc.

Americans generally find this strange, but our cops, and Traffic cops when they were thing, need no reason to stop you when driving. We did vehicle safety checks on the roadside, pulling over dozens of drivers for warrant of fitness, licence, registration, etc, etc. There was a difference...

Not me. In my new life, I live and let live.

You know what's stupid? If someone said to me, when I sweated to buy my first house in 1974 for $25,000, that I'll be a millionaire in 2022. I would have said they're nuts. Guess what? I was, simply by owning one house outright in one of the most unaffordable places in the world. Staying on the...

You mean Leon Levavasseur's design, the V8 from the Antoinette Co. of France in 1904?😎
