The Trofeos stick like glue when they’re HOT like on a track after a warm up lap, but at street temps, even in the summer, you still need to have them hotter than you think for them to really grab. Even then, they’re not a drag racing tire. The Pilot 4s isn’t “better” in this regard, but they...

If your local LE will bother to track it and attempt retrieval, which lots of urban TX PD’s will not.

If your car was defaulting to sport mode, you have a Unicorn, not a Mustang. Normal mode is the default start up mode on all the lineup- trucks, cars, SUV’s, you name it.

I stroked a 5 figure personal check for the chunky downpayment. I worked for that money, and lawfully acquired the property. I damn well want it back.

Man, I am profoundly sorry to hear this. A sync reset takes only... 7-8 seconds, maybe, after the screen initializes. Ford has less than ZERO security for resetting the car’s sync system. AirTags -CAN- help but if they’re savvy thieves, they’ll hear the air tag, fish it out and toss it in...

Not having a whipple, everything else I’ve read / seen say that 5.0 + whipple without the high HP half shafts = towed home from drag strip if you push hard. Maybe not the first run, but The power delivery circuit fuse on this car is the tires. Put drag radials on and all that power is going...

Impressive almost-13-month thread resurrection !

DAMN ! Was human sacrifice involved in repairing that wheel? Impressive work.

If the car is stock, I’d opt for a stealership visit. It sounds like it needs to be re-aimed or recalibrated. We see this in the Raptor world when the sensor is relocated for a bumper or other mod.

I hope Ford doesn’t reimburse the dealer for this. All the tech did was clear the codes on the assumption it’s a transient issue, but that does nothing to troubleshoot why it happened or prevent it from reoccurring. What codes? What do the codes represent? what troubleshooting was performed...

It has been several years since I had an ESP that paid for itself, but, I’ve had several pay for some repairs. To include my ’17 Raptor and my wife’s ’20 Lincoln - both of which developed CV seal leaks. Back about 2007(?) ish, I lost the AC compressor in my 01 Lightning. That one repair paid...

From the consumer side: You can sweet talk and negotiate with the dealer all you want, but if you have zapped the computer system, the onus is on you the consumer to prove to an arbitrator, customer service or a jury that it didn’t cause the failure in the powertrain. As I’ve said in other...

I hate to wade into another dyno thread but, the baseline run on this is 350hp/349 tq ? That doesn’t seem realistic.

Back when I had my LL suit, factory buy backs of a voluntary basis ( that is, not court ordered ) were not just practically unheard of, it was not even a subject brought up. But in recent years - since the 20 teens, all the major manufacturers consider customer loyalty and potential...

So the F/P supercharger or whipple thread had some dire warnings. IDK. I found this: https://trackmustangsonline.com/threads/anyone-running-a-boosted-mustang-on-road-courses-ie-streets-of-willow.19676/page-2#post-304444

That’s all well and good, but for consumers; or potential plaintiffs, there’s what the law says, and there is how it is applied. If the complaint is objective; something not disputable; you blew an engine, performed all req’d maintenance and upkeep, didn’t abuse the car and it still blew. They...

I’m glad you’ve had that kind of luck to date, but as you’ve seen recently, luck appears to have run out for you. I learned my lesson the easy way in 2017 when I bought my Raptor. Folks on FRF put up a post on all the things they found at purchase inspection. I brought this with me as a...

You may be correct, but that doesn’t make it right. I don’t live up north, so I can’t speak to this happening but if it is, I hope some good citizens conduct some video operations getting stopped on purpose - for no legal reason, and out the scumbags. They do no favors to real law enforcement.

You didn’t notice this on the test drive?
