  1. Is Ford Selling Our Driving Data to Insurance Companies?

    Right, I should have said disconnect the modem before I leave for the track, and reconnect when the car is back in the barn. I don't think driving data is accumulated for later transmittal once the modem is reconnected, except the black box data. But I don't know that for sure and would like to...
  2. New ota update

    This is weird. I don't have that issue with mine.
  3. Most overpriced options...

    Yes, and perhaps one of the reasons why we can afford this extra toy is precisely because we have the small voice in our head reminding us of the value of things. I suspect for many of us, the discipline of saying no to mushrooms and lattes and bagging a lunch for work over time means you get...
  4. Is Ford Selling Our Driving Data to Insurance Companies?

    I meant disconnect the modem in the connectivity settings menu. That's a real question. From what I understand the driving information gathered (and transmitted when driving with the modem turned on) has a buffer of roughly 40 seconds? Or does the car have the memory space to accumulate and...
  5. Most overpriced options...

    I think Magneride could have been cheaper. I think Recaros, colored calipers and active exhaust are correctly priced. I almost picked colored seatbelts but held myself back. It should be half of what they charge for it.
  6. Is Ford Selling Our Driving Data to Insurance Companies?

    I just read up on this and from what I gather, the driving data stored in the machine is 20 seconds before and after an accident. So roughly a 40 second memory buffer of driving events. Which, to me, means I can drive to the track, disconnect, do my track day and drive home, reconnect and no...

  8. Is Ford Selling Our Driving Data to Insurance Companies?

    If I connect just to download the latest software update while the car is parked and then disconnect, what data is there to collect?
  9. "Revised chassis tuning"

    You're right...makes sense. The source I used listed gross weight. I misread.
  10. Handling Pack-Mistake

    You and me both. I gave up and bought the Steeda ones. But I came close to getting the GT-350R springs.
  11. Handling Pack-Mistake

    I wouldn't. You paid for the Dark Horse Magneride dampers and they're good. If what you want is to get the exact ride height the DH HP has, get the DH HP springs installed and you're done! If having 100% Ford parts is not essential to you, I'd get the Steeda Springs for Magneride suspension. On...
  12. 2024 Dark Horse Mustang vs 2023 BMW M2 - Car and Driver Comparison Review

    I do. That's the only reason I own my S650. I drive it to the track and back in the CAM-C class that does not allow a lot of deviation from stock condition. To make the Mustang sure-footed on the track in a sustainable way, some minor suspension mods need to occur. Mainly targeted at...
  13. 2024 Dark Horse Mustang vs 2023 BMW M2 - Car and Driver Comparison Review

    Yes and I am sure it is a good AWD system. It is just not for me. Same goes with Quattro and 4MATIC: I don't want AWD in my performance car. I get that most people like that and that's why they sell so many. I'm sure your M240i will be an incredible daily drive that you'll enjoy!
  14. 2024 Dark Horse Mustang vs 2023 BMW M2 - Car and Driver Comparison Review

    Masterpiece? I don't know man...I lost all interest in BMW since Xdrive appeared so I'm not up to speed on the current models. To me the one on the right has nondescript styling that makes it look like a Japanese or Korean offering, right up until you notice the split grille and the badge. That...
  15. "Revised chassis tuning"

    A 911 is a very heavy car....3900lb for a 2014...4300 for a 2024
  16. "Revised chassis tuning"

    I noticed that on the handling package for the Mach 1. And now with the Dark Horse. Does anyone know exactly what the "revised chassis tuning" that's part of the handling package consists of? I'm guessing it can only be stiffer Magneride...what else could it be?
  17. Suggestions for Cleaning the Front Grill?

    I used to dry with microfiber towels but now I use a leaf blower. Have you tried that? I get better and faster results that way.
  18. 2024 Dark Horse Mustang vs 2023 BMW M2 - Car and Driver Comparison Review

    I wouldn't know what a 350R is like, that's for sure. But my S550 was lowered 2 inches on H&R Super Sports, and had 2.5 deg camber up front with zero toe out , 2.2 camber in the back, cradle lockout and hard bushings front and back, 11 inch wheels and 305 tires all around. It was used mainly on...
  19. Options for protecting against stone chips on S650's

    I don't mind at all. I doubt anyone could get a price like this. I paid 3850$. That's for a complete PPF on all body colored surfaces with no visible seams, all edges tucked in, door sills and headlights done, the grille surrounds, the spoiler, and a second (sacrificial) layer in the rear rocker...
  20. Suggestions for Cleaning the Front Grill?

    Had the same thing happen to me. Read up a bunch about it and after trying various things, I now use paintbrushes of different widths and rigidity. For things like bugs encrusted in the grille, or brake dust in the lug nut wells and other crannies, after an initial blast with the power washer, I...
