My father has a 2020 C8, but it has less than 20,000 miles. He had some weird fluke with his trans, but it cleared itself up. Otherwise it's been solid, aside from the ridiculous 15k maintenance cost for the dual clutch. I drove it the other day and after having the Mustang, the C8 cockpit feels...

If you don't have the active exhaust, not sure how you're hearing differences in the engine. I believe I did read somewhere that the drive modes adjust throttle delivery (i.e. in slippery mode, if you hit the gas, the throttle gradually builds instead of a more 1:1 where the further you press...

Placebo effect? My gas mileage seems to stay the same regardless of mode. The only thing controlling your MPG is your right foot and when you upshift. If you're shifting around 2000 RPM, you'll get better mileage. Shift over 3000 RPM, your MPG will go down. Oh, and if you give more throttle in...

This. Dodge Challengers and Chargers are more prone to car jacks than Mustangs.

I encountered something new yesterday. I was on a call and had it routed through the vehicle's infotainment. I tried to adjust the climate in the vehicle and next thing I know, my call came over completely distorted. I tried to go back to the call page on the infotainment center and give it a...

I think you'll be more at the mercy of the dealership/service department than anything else. If the dealership/service department says your lowering springs caused a powertrain component to break and/or fail, you'll be fighting an uphill battle with the dealership, Ford Motor Company and...

When I hit a doe years back, after I got the vehicle back, I ended up trading it in a few months later for a truck. When the car popped up on the dealer's website, the dealer provided the Carfax report. Guess what... there was no indication that the vehicle had been in an accident even though I...

If it's one thing I have learned in my life, if you don't know what it is or what it sounds like, don't go looking for it if it's going to make you paranoid. I had an 2nd gen 3.5 Ecoboost in my 2017 F-150. It was great up until someone mentioned cam phaser rattle on start-up and I started...

Uh... I feel like that's a bit out there. I love my Mustang, but I don't see anything that special about my particular vehicle that would make me that paranoid about leaving out in public and someone stealing my car. But hey, if that's how you feel, might I suggest you look at something else? No...

I hit a doe with my vehicle a few years back. Pissed me off, so I bought a truck. Drove a truck for years and never hit a deer. I'll be damned though if I hit a deer now that I'm out of a truck :crackup:

Huh? Regardless, not entirely a bad idea for anyone concerned about getting carjacked. Just know that if the thief has an Apple iPhone, they will eventually get a notification that there is an AirTag located within their vicinity. At that point, it'll be interesting to see how dedicated the...

I believe that's correct and it's stupid if you ask me. I've seen other vehicles with the same gas mileage and don't get hit with the gas guzzler tax.

I'm curious though... all vehicles with FordPass have a cell modem in them for FordPass to work. Unless the thief pulls the power from the cell modem, I would assume someone within Ford would be able to track a vehicle regardless of Sync being reset unless the thief removes the modem entirely...

I have Profile 1 programmed with the base mode being "Normal". Then, under steering and exhaust, I chose Sport and hit save. So, every time I get in the vehicle, I just hit the mode up button on the steering wheel twice and it goes to Custom and goes straight to Profile 1 (not sure if there is a...

I did opposite. I did Normal mode with magneride and sports steering and sports exhaust, but can easily show you for your setting. Go to My Mustang. At the top, click on Profile Selection and choose whatever Profile number you want to set. Go to "Base Drive Mode" and click on "Sport". This...

I found the movie, "Gone in 60 Seconds" with Nicholas Cage pretty informative on carjacking:crackup: Jokes aside, as others have said, don't keep your valuables in plain sight or if you do, put them in the center console. I find the security package on the vehicle sufficient. Having the...

Yeah, as others have stated, it's tied to driving modes. It seems kind of dumb that in the settings, it makes it seem like you can change each individually. I ended up just setting a custom profile in normal mode for the magneride (the most comfortable setting for daily driving in my opinion)...

This is my second Ford vehicle. My first one was a 2017 F-150 with the 3.5 Ecoboost. Had the Ford ESP and it came in handy. Had the cam phaser replacement done right after the 60,000 mile mark. Only had to pay $100 deductible to have it fixed. Now granted, I'm pretty sure the cost for the...

Interesting... I use wireless Apple CarPlay and today, for the first time after owning the vehicle for a little over 30 days, I had audio issues. I even restarted the vehicle entirely and still had the issue. I DID NOT try any of the other audio sources. I may mess around with it more this...

Hello! Just bought my first Mustang a few days before Christmas. Coming from a 2017 F-150 2nd gen 3.5 Ecoboost with a 10-speed auto. Funny story. I took my truck to get an oil change at the Quick Lane and ended up walking around the dealership while waiting on the truck. Saw a Mustang, a...
