  1. Speed limiter 140mph?????

    I'd encourage everyone to review the laws in their state. In many, once you're 25 mph, 40 kmh over the posted limit, court, jail, impounding of vehicle, license suspension, become additional factors. Every area will be different. Talking to a local LEO, they had discretion below a certain speed...
  2. How many miles did yours come with?

    Regarding inspections and the pick-up process, I can only speak to my experience and what I learned. My car arrived at the dealer with seven others (all different models). The dealer prep team was comprised of three people. The time for them to prep my car and the paperwork was three business...
  3. Tire psi

    When I check pressures, I check them manually, using an AutoMeter 2160 gauge. It's a simple, well-built, analog gauge. Some like digital gauges. https://www.autometer.com/performance-analog-tire-pressure-gauge.html As virtually every run involves spirited driving, I check pressures often. Once...
  4. How many miles did yours come with?

    The following thread has several pages of responses, to give you a feel for others' mileage. https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/how-many-miles-were-on-your-car-at-delivery.159332/ The mileage you received the vehicle at would not be unusual. At the low end, 8 miles, 13 km. At the upper...
  5. AT Shifting poorly when cold

    If you feel you continue to experience things outside the norm, one thing I always recommend on the auto is checking the fluid level. Sometimes, from the factory fill, settling, etc., cars are low and need to be topped up. While having that checked, you could discuss the symptoms with the...
  6. AT Shifting poorly when cold

    ^ This. My Tremec MT is no different. Cold, she's a bit of a diva. Difficult shifting, often. Once warmed-up: bliss. I'm generally pretty soft on my car until I get up to temps. Once fully-warm and everything is stable, it's a different car in sounds, shifts and other behaviors. And that makes...
  7. Hitting redline before 1000 miles

    I wouldn't be concerned about the occasional one-off. If you look to blogs and references at machine shop and engine sites, their builds are broken in a prescribed manner and rather quickly. Afterwards, they can be taken straight to the track and live out their expected service life well. Most...
  8. Strike

    https://www.npr.org/2024/09/13/nx-s1-5101588/united-auto-workers-uaw-big-3-stellantis A follow-up a year after the strike. The auto industry is similar to airlines and energy: boom-and-bust.
  9. New Recall?

    https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/tsbs-ssms-and-recalls-for-the-24-mustang.157809/ If it is safety-related, a hold would be appropriate. Any recall affecting safety features results in a hold on the vehicle until the issue is resolved, be they new off the trailer or in for scheduled...
  10. Feral Industries is the Worst

    Ya, my routine searches did not peg the enthusiasm meter. Their site confirms they do not make what they sell; parts are made overseas and shipped to customer.
  11. Update to yesterday’s post regarding unsettling motion in rear suspension. DEALER LEFT BOLTS UNTIGHTENED

    @Ford Motor Company Enthusiastic, determined and tenacious Owner: 1. Dealer, and possibly, Ford: 0. Stating the obvious: it is a significant finding. I'd have to study my car and the drawing above, to see if this is a design change. Or maybe a manufacturing or assembly process change. And if...
  12. Boss 429...

    People and organizations routinely create channels and generate content, completely fabricated, solely for the purpose of raising money. In Drive Pedia's examples, it'd be considered a low-level form of scamming. With respect to Drive Pedia and the "Boss 429", there are some tells: - Going to...
  13. Why would you do that? - A thread

    I thought so. If I got the right Instagram account, they are actually the same size: 26x14. The piercing underglow :sunglasses:could be considered practical: it comes in handy when detailing, during tire changes and while working on the suspension. :crazy:
  14. Why would you do that? - A thread

    Understated. :giggle: I've noticed Mopar owners doing same lately: installing huge graphics, especially on the sides.
  15. Why would you do that? - A thread

    At a local car show earlier this year, I took these photos of a truck's graphics. The owner of the vehicle was not in the area. IDK who they were or why they like corn so much. As mentioned earlier: to each their own. Edit, Aftermarket radiator :thumbsup: while carrying tens or more pounds...
  16. Coyote Oil Viscosity in High Temp Climates ?

    Could be worth looking into. The Euro specs do have a lot going for them. - Because of the higher service intervals seen in EUR, the Total Base Numbers are often greater - A lot more turbos and boosted applications in EUR, so many oils are blended to support - Higher temperature requirements...
  17. Coyote Oil Viscosity in High Temp Climates ?

    That, IDK. I can think of a few variables at play. I'd definitely chat up Whipple, giving them the setup and typical driving conditions, while confirming the latest guidance. I have read several posts of drivers preferring Euro-spec formulations.
  18. How long to get an order number?

    And, considering where we are in the Model Year, options, constraints, etc., speak to the order's chances of being cancelled. Not much life left in this MY.
  19. How long to get an order number?

    Ya, I'd call the dealer and confirm the order # and when placed. I'd also confirm AdBlockers and Anti-Virus are not deleting or blocking e-mails from Ford.
  20. How long to get an order number?

    You should receive an order confirmation in one to two business days. Check back with the dealer. Sometimes... - E-mail is entered incorrectly - Dealer inputs their own contact information - Customer gives the dealer an old or incorrect e-mail, by mistake If those three things are not the...
