I can undertand your learning curve now. At least a little. 😉
You missed the S550s. They had an S instead of an M. So downshifting to S put you in sport mode AND enabled the paddles for use. But it didn't activate manual mode unless you tapped one of the paddles first.
I kind of preferred it...
^ This. You just press down enough for it to unlock. You don't need to keep the shifter button pressed down as you pull back. If thats what you are doing, I could see the problem.
Well, I agree with you it shouldn't slip. But are we talking slipping or accidentally pulling the shifter back too far? One is user error and one is a defect. If it's slipping, that is 100% not normal and should be looked at immediately.
For the base GT Auto, standard limited slip gear ratio is 3:15. However 3:55 limited slip gears are an option, and I would highly recommend. I drove both and the 3:55s make the car a little quicker off the line.
Performance pack GTs and DH cars come with Torsen 3.55s for the auto, and 3.73s for...
White isn't a thing man. All standard GT brembo brakes are Silver. The upgraded Brembos only came in Red, Black, and Grabber Blue. Do you not own an S650?
Man. Maybe it's because you guys are new to the car. Never have I ever missed Drive in my current car or my previous S550. Nor have I ever heard this complaint before in all my years on the 6g forum. I'd love to know how you manage to do this AND miss seeing the Drive selection on the dash. This...
I'm very blessed to be able to pay cash for my vehicles. That said, Im not rich, and I do have to save and plan accordingly. Most people do not have the luxury of paying 50k out of pocket for a new vehicle, and that should not automatically make them irresponsible car buyers who dont work hard...
Ok, I have some issues this guys logic in the video.
First of all, there was no documented baseline before the final test drive. Hes making assumptions based on what he THINKS is happening, with no comparison to back it up.
Second, if cutting the holes is supposed to improve airflow and...
Interesting they are calling the 4 door fastback the Mach 4. It makes me wonder if it's going to be more of a Mach-E redesign or variant, rather than a 4-door version on the current fastback.
Nothing real surprising here. Ford has been saying they will keep the V8 well into the future for a while now. A 4-door fastback is a travesty. I don't get the that one at all.
A late '26 mid cycle refresh seems to confirm it will be for '27 cars.
