California wishes to prohibit the sale of brand-new vehicles with internal combustion engines by 2035. I think thirteen other states are signed up to follow the California regulations on vehicle emissions. Will automakers bother making cars that can only be sold in some of the states? It's...

Hands down, that is the best-looking rear spoiler I've ever seen for the S650!

As for the future of the manual transmission in the Mustang, I do wonder about the economics of continuing to have two different 6-speed manual transmissions, the Getrag MT-82 in the GT, and the Tremec TR-3160 in the Dark Horse. Once this whole tariff war settles out, I wouldn't be surprised if...

Yeah, it's kind of like telling someone that they are wrong for liking a certain piece of music or type of food. We all like what we like, and it doesn't mean someone is wrong for liking something we don't. Although I admit, every time I see some jacked-up pickup with a Carolina squat, I do...

OK, that mystery is solved, but now I kind of wish that the new Mustang did let the driver choose from a menu of chime sounds, including some "horsey" sounds.

I suspect that 99% of the people on this forum already know that. It's also faster to fly several hundred miles than to drive it, yet some of us prefer the drive.

Has Ford announced they are dropping that feature?

You've got me on the M2. I thought the base price was a little over $70K. The cars you mentioned in this comment are not sports cars or coupes.

It's almost the last manual car standing in its price and performance range. Here is a list of every new sports car or coupe that has a manual transmission, at least 250 horsepower, and a base price of less than $70,000. Nissan Z Ford Mustang GT Ford Mustang Dark Horse That's it. The Toyota...

OK, so it's like when I got a mail-order bride. We can get you one, but you can't be picky. You'll learn all about her when she arrives.

I don't understand. Are you saying that you special-ordered a Mustang and the dealer cannot tell if you will get what you ordered?

I don't plan on lowering my next Mustang, but I'm bookmarking this thread in case I change my mind.

This is not a camera, but American Muscle has a sensor kit that gives you beeps as you get closer.

Actually locking up your brakes works on gravel because it builds up a dam of gravel in front of your tires.

That is interesting to know. I like the simple design of the factory center caps, but wish you could get custom center caps that have a different color than black for the background. Maybe body color, or maybe red to match the red Brembo brake caliper covers. Do you recall who on Etsy made yours?

You will get the best result if you let the ABS do its thing rather than modulating the brake pressure yourself. When you do it, the amount of brake pressure is going to be the same for all four wheels. The ABS controls all four wheels independently, so if you are driving on a road where one...

I should have added that I dislike the styling on the Dark Horse SC. It looks a bit Camaro-esque to me.

Yes, yes, yes! When the 2024 design came out, I really disliked the front end. It took me a long time to figure out what bugged me about it. It finally occurred to me that my big problem was the black "fat lip" under the grill. For decades, it has been an industry trend to give cars...

Right, I believe you have to put in your Amazon account info to activate it.

Yes, that's the price to pay for activating it. That's why I'm wondering if it delivers any benefits over Ford Assistant. The only potential benefit I have run across in my limited research is that if you have appliances at home that are Alexa-compliant, you can turn them on from your car. I...
