I don't remember which website I got the numbers from, but I made notes at the time that it was 155 for the GT and 168 for the Dark Horse.

The top-speed governor is set at 155 mph in the Mustang GT and 168 mph in the Dark Horse. With previous generations of Mustangs, the top-speed governor could be disabled with a custom tune, but I haven't heard anything about that for the S650. Has anybody read anything about this possibility...

This is not a 7th-generation Mustang, obviously, but since we're on the topic of painting black plastic trim, I thought I'd share a few before-and-after photos of my 2011. I special-ordered it and already knew what cosmetic modifications I wanted to make once it came in. Here it is in stock...

And some of those choices even allow the user to customize the colors of the gauges! Why, when I was your age...

By the way, the piece that you call the "front trim bar," I have been calling "the fat lip."

That is very reasonable.

That looks great, Wiley! I know different body shops are going to charge different prices for similar work, but would you mind telling us what that job cost? I want to do the same thing if I get a new Mustang before Ford changes the styling again. I may even want to get the rear diffuser...

To keep this from being too long, I'm only going to talk about current-model cars. If I had the money and a place to park it, I would love a Lotus Emira with a manual transmission, dark green metallic paint, tan interior, and silver wheels. The Porsche 911 is cool, of course. I thought the...

I don't necessarily want to see more features added to the Mustang because modern Mustangs are already expensive and overweight. But I did envy my friend's Hyundai crossover that has 360-degree parking cameras. And not just because of small garages; people who lower their Mustangs have to be...

A ton of houses have garages that are just barely big enough for two cars. In order to be able to open the driver's side doors without hitting the other car, my wife parks her Edge going in nose-first, and I park the Mustang going in tail-first. For either car, you cannot get into the...

This would make no sense on a black car like the one in the OP, but I wonder if anyone has ever painted the black tail lamp surround body color? I've been to a few Mustang rallies since the S650 came out, and I've never seen this done. I would think that on a lighter colored car like white...

I really don't care about seeing any new special models added. I would just like to see a few more options added to the existing models. Like a couple more interior colors and paint colors. With the Mustang GTD, you can get one painted any color you want, for a price. I don't ask that they...

I liked the chrome bezels better than the black.

Looks nice!

Red is the best color to go with Adriatic Blue. Black is fine. The blue caliper covers do not complement Adriatic Blue at all, in my opinion.

Dang, that's a good idea. I'm going to tell my wife that the new Mustang that I will be ordering is her 21st-anniversary present. But since it will come with a manual transmission and she doesn't really care to shift, shucks, I'll drive it for her.

I wasn't looking for this, but coincidentally came across a text message I sent to a friend last year, linking to an article about Ford announcing the FX Package for the 2026 model year. At that time, it wasn't stated if Adriatic Blue would be available across the line or was just for the FX...

Several years ago, my cousin went out to start a car that he hadn't driven for a few weeks. The battery had power, but the engine wouldn't turn. He looked under the hood and found that the engine bay was packed tight with walnuts. Squirrels had decided to use the engine compartment for a...

Either that, or Ford is going to start the new model year later than it has been doing the last several years. According to this article from Ford Authority, the refresh is happening in "late 2026."

It's hard to guess. With the S197 generation, they ran for five model years before doing a reskin and interior overhaul, then followed up with powertrain improvements one year later. With the S550, they did just three model years before changing a bunch of stuff. At this time, Ford no...
