Cool! As long as you’re aware. I used to run the pc in city +2 on the street but took it off road and the mud/sand mode throttle map was way too steep and not as easy to modulate. I’m sure with practice it’d be ok but honestly, too much trouble to mess with if I’m just mode-ing up 4 then have...

Which itself could be a problem. I have a pedal commander on my Raptor, because the early Raptors didn’t have a ‘normal’ drive mode, it was a rebadged “eco” mode. 10th gear by 42mph, and only downshifts at or near full throttle. The problem is that anything over ‘city’ mode on the PC is too...

Meh. the rs200 wouldn’t survive 2 miles of Dakar, which is what Farley is aiming for. Dakar is for off road what the Isle of Man TT is for motorcycles; an absolute crucible of a torture test. If your bike can survive the Isle of Man ( cough... Ducati ... ) it’s a truly special machine. If...

is that the same guy from keep it dirty off road? he’s not measuring wheel hp, he’s measuring hub hp; less rotational mass for sure.

The only dyno numbers I’ve seen posted on a stock Mustang, not tuned was 12 rwhp, not 30-40. The .25 mile time improvement is impressive though. It’s the volume that kills it for me.

They spent way more than 120k, more like $135 and up and it’s only 700 hp, 720 on the later models.

As soon as a fuel discussion imports the 2 words “inflation adjusted” then it’s all about the numbers. The thing about the numbers is, if you torture them enough eventually they will tell you what you want to hear. Inflation adjusted is the plea of government talking heads when the price...

if we try hard enough we can forget https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/faith-freedom-self-reliance/3289436/biden-term-highest-gas-prices-us-history/ yeah, there could be more done, and we’re not setting aside enough for the US market but all in all, it’s better now than it was.

Right now, you would know by the letter from Ford Motor Company and I’ve read of ~ 3 Raptor owners who reported “something went wrong”. IOW, no brakes. Honestly, it’s just dumb luck that nobody has been seriously injured, at least that we know of. Owners had this problem literally months...

True. That said: Ford does not, and apparently cannot rely on the OTA updates for at least recalls. I got pushed the ‘black screen’ recall update OTA and it installed successfully. I then got a recall notice in the mail, checked with the stealership and it is marked as incomplete. This...

Understood, but they definitely held up fine over the 4-5 laps at a time there. I’m sure they give up some traction over 9/10 but you’re only going to get to that limit on a track, while pushing.

After about 1800 street miles on the Trofeos, mine were absolutely shagged, spinning everywhere I went, even when judicious on the throttle. I babied the car for a few hundred miles and had to switch as they got less sticky and more dangerous. The Michelins I put on obviously stuck way better...

Yeah, you would be surprised how much of a PITA it is living next to a guy living out his youth in an open header Mustang. I had a neighbor doing just such an experience, “Loud Pipes Paul”. Really great guy, family man, paid his bills on time, responsible taxpayer, but in the neighborhood, he...

The problem of us is that the Mustang costs are inflated, along with much of Ford’s lineup to make the Ford EV’s sellable in the open market because without amortizing the high cost to make the EV lineup, they would sit on lots unsold. Socialist democracies, communist countries and strongman...

Awesome... because it’s not difficult enough to keep your vehicle data out of data broker’s hands, so enter more Google. :-/

How about go with something like : “Man, it looks like you put a lot of work into that car’s appearance. Some of it looks really great and there’s a few things I probably wouldn’t have done myself, but hey it’s your ride. Good work!" See? You don’t have to be the quintessential subject of...

I purchased mid July ’24, and just got the kit yesterday, so not quite 13 months. Still, I got the kit, track attack and miles of smiles.

So, did we ever get an answer to which car community is best? asking for a friend.

It’s going to happen again :-/ An OTA update will do it every time. Whatever glitch is going on resetting the toggle features seems to happen randomly. I went for months and had 3 occurrences, one was the ubiquitous ABS module update and that one went further, whacking my custom drive mode...
