  1. What brand of motor oil do ya’ll prefer for your Stangs?

    Two related items: 1. I'll be changing the factory drain plug to one from UPR. The 3rd Gen engine holds ten quarts, coming out all at once. The UPR plug has a screw valve on the end, allowing me to control the output, with an attachment for a hose. The UPR plug is also magnetic. 2. I'll be...
  2. What brand of motor oil do ya’ll prefer for your Stangs?

    My current ride is the first Mustang I've owned. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum (PUP) and Pennzoil Full Synthetic oils get good reviews and comments from other Mustang owners. I've got two jugs of PUP on the bench, to be used next month. Blackstone is most often used for engine oil analysis...
  3. Are orders with Appearance Package or Handling Package being delayed/held?

    I visited my local Ford dealer last week. Their experiences are similar. In 2022, the local dealer was having difficulty maintaining a car inventory, having enough new vehicles; that seems to be sorted now, at least in my area. In 2023, their main problem is replacement parts. Shelves are...
  4. Gauges

    I could go with and appreciate either analog or digital. Depends on the era of the car. A K-code with a digital display will probably look "weird". Same with an S650 having multiple analog units. My interests (for both styles) involve functionality and purpose (always #1), then overall design...
  5. Do we think the 19 x 11 rear wheels & tires available on the Dark Horse would fit in the rear wheel wells of a GT ?

    When confirming the diameter and width, see if anyone can confirm that rim's offset. On the S550 rims I've seen, the offset # is marked as part of the casting process, on the back of the rim.
  6. Delivery of Mustang

    Looks like April/May timeframe will be start of production, but there are many variables. When Ford was in production in 2022, they were building generally 800 cars a day. But they don't produce every day of the week or every week of the month. Dates will coming out soon. When scheduled for...
  7. NY Auto Show - What do you want to see?

    ^ This. Mechanicals. Under hood. Undercarriage. Anything you find unique or gives you pause. Thank You.
  8. 2024+ Mustang S650 Orders Tracking List & Stats [Enter Yours!]

    :like: I think it is worthwhile, would improve the existing build, would be complimented by other features and help tie it all together. Yes, just contact the salesperson to make the change; they can modify the order up until a build date and VIN is produced. Order Guide shows MagneRide as...
  9. PLATE NAMES FOR DARK HORSE EDITION

    If you have not done so already, rummage through Utah's DMV sites. You might get lucky and find something akin to the following: In CO, we can do it all on-line. During the application process, we can attempt to submit almost countless lists, and the state system will tell us, "Already taken"...
  10. For those that ordered around 3/27/23 or have experience with this process do you think...

    Don't be surprised if all the dates being tracked (scheduled, blend, build, shipped, etc.) move around some. This is normal. I consider the most important date to be when you are gifted a VIN. Having a VIN cut gives you 99.999% certainty the car will be built. You should receive a VIN on or...
  11. 2024+ Mustang S650 Orders Tracking List & Stats [Enter Yours!]

    You're following your passion; that's all that matters. It's what the overwhelming majority of car owners appreciate and respect more than anything else.
  12. 2024+ Mustang S650 Orders Tracking List & Stats [Enter Yours!]

    It can. It depends. Active Exhaust is a series of cutouts within the exhaust system which can alter flow and sound, depending on the driving mode. The Mustang can offer several driving modes. These modes stiffen steering, adjust handling (with Magneride), change throttle response, etc. They...
  13. New mustang owner.

    Consider changing the title of your thread to, "The Break-In Thread. Your Advice and Experience." Or something of the sort. I expect it to receive a lot of comments and be long-lived. :like: The following relates to my experience with a 2022, Coyote Gen 3, now 1200 mi / 1930 km from new. The...
  14. So What Is Next After Submitting Order?

    One topic I forgot about which will come up at closing: extended warranties. At the time of closing, something the supporting dealer will offer is an extended warranty, additional coverage which supports the car, after the original factory warranty expires. Some like extended warranties for...
  15. Dark Horse Appearance and handling not available this year?

    Keeping an open mind, but I lean towards something with that dealer. Ford sets up suppliers way in advance, so product can be made to meet schedules. Any chance he was trying to explain these will be delayed in the MY? Being delayed is entirely possible. Discussions with this dealer started...
  16. Will 2024 Mustang color be Grabber Blue or Grabber Blue Metallic?

    As others have confirmed, GBM. If you're concerned about the color and the flake, don't be. Like a lot of hues by Ford the last few years, it's a great color, with no disrespect to the original. In subdued lighting, you cannot see the flake at all. It can be very rich and elegant. In the Sun...
  17. Gas Guzzle Tax

    FWIW, Gas Guzzler on '22 HP was $1000, manual transmission. Edit: https://www.energy.gov/eere/vehicles/articles/fotw-1183-april-26-2021-new-cars-purchased-low-fuel-economy-ratings-continue To give an idea how the tax increases...
  18. So What Is Next After Submitting Order?

    Over time, Ford should be sending you e-mails. Your salesperson will occasionally send updates. You could be in for a wait. That's OK. Until the car is scheduled for production, nothing is happening. Once the car is scheduled to be made, you'll get a rough build date and a VIN. As the car is...
  19. So What Is Next After Submitting Order?

    Mine was. It was listed as part of the order summary. It's not always clear, so if you can't find it, just reach back out to your salesperson.
  20. Dark Horse Limited Availability

    Initially, yes. New MY. New generation. Eventually, things will settle down. There's Limited Production and Limited Availability. Limited Production: Ford is only going to build so many, period. Limited Availability: Some options and features will not be available right away. It might be...
