  1. Hate to Burst your Bubble.

    I'm sure it sucked royally and I hope you don't have to go through it again. I would be extremely surprised if it happens with this light redesign of the Mustang. I've test driven a couple Broncos and I thought they were great. I'm not an SUV person, but I really liked them. Are you happy...
  2. Hate to Burst your Bubble.

    My wife tried to order a Bronco and the local dealer said, "No, Ford's not accepting orders because they are about 2 years behind on some of the vehicles they promised to people." This was last year late summer early fall. So, if you want to think it's the same as the Bronco - let me know in...
  3. Hate to Burst your Bubble.

    Sure I know nothing about FRAP internal stuff, but come on, this is nothing like the Bronco. The Bronco had those plastic hard tops that had/have (not sure) big issues. There's nothing like that in the Mustang. The Mustang has mostly minor changes from the previous model and sure there will...
  4. Engine additives?

    Good to know - like I said, I have no idea if the Slick 50 helped or not, but that engine got a single treatment of it probably with 70K miles on it at the time. It was run out of oil about 100K miles later and it continued to work great for many miles after that. Can you prove the Mazda had...
  5. Engine additives?

    I generally just try to change the oil frequently and keep it at that. I have no idea if any additives are useful or helpful. I did own a 1990 F150 years ago with a 302 that I added Slick 50 to. At one point in its life it developed a really bad oil pan gasket leak. That was an expensive...
  6. Mustang Dark Horse Was Shaped by Ford's New Cutting Edge 200 MPH Wind Tunnel

    Of course all the wind tunnel development was done with the initial design work possibly using clay models or 3D printed prototypes rather than a finished, painted car. It's fascinating how the wind tunnel is designed as well to try to prevent the air from swirling but instead get it flowing...
  7. Is anyone else disappointed with the GT Performance Pack??

    The Camaro is ok, but I by far prefer the Coyote engine over the engine in the Camaro. I realize the 7G Mustang has direct injection, but at least Ford didn't cheap out and do direct injection only. I'd like a little longevity, please. And then there's cylinder deactivation - great...
  8. Real-life closeup look at Carbon Fiber wheel

    More than that. No way you are getting 0% financing with the current garbage economy.
  9. Price Increase on Dark Horse Premium Model

    I was very seriously cross shopping Corvettes a few years ago. But then I figured out that I don't really fit in one with a helmet on. And I'm not interested in an automatic transmission anyway. Plus, I wanted a Corvette for the light weight, and after the C5 the Corvette gained a lot of...
  10. Price Increase on Dark Horse Premium Model

    I typed something in here, but I just couldn't post it. Best of luck to all of you.
  11. Every 2024 Ford Mustang Color Everywhere All At Once

    I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing some of these colors in person. As the prices have skyrocketed there are very few Mustangs around here any more. There are a couple Mach 1s in my neighborhood, but I almost never see one during my commute to and from work.
  12. 2024 Mustang rear-end an improvement?

    The area below the license plate doesn't really grab my attention in either car. I think the S550 tail lights/rear design is very beautiful and the S650 looks great as well. I like the body color rear area. I'm glad Ford made a somewhat dramatic change to the rear of the car. The S650...
  13. Ford's CEO Wants the Next Mustang to Be a Poster Car

    Wouldn't it have been the 3 speed + OD SROD manual trans back then? I know the first few years of Fox body still had 4 speeds. I had an '83 GT that came with a 4 speed and I swapped it over to a T5.
  14. Jim Farley Teases Mustang GT3 Roaring at Sebring - "Should We Make a Road Version?"

    The Coyote 5.0 came out in 2011. 12 years is a good long time to keep the same engine with only smaller tweaks. It's not like Ford just came out with a new, bigger engine 3 or 4 years ago. It's been a long long time. If you want an efficient and clean car, the Mustang should not be for you...
  15. Jim Farley Teases Mustang GT3 Roaring at Sebring - "Should We Make a Road Version?"

    The Porsche Cayman's engine size has continued to increase in displacement and HP recently. Yes they aren't large engines, but it's fine because the car itself is small and light. It's nice that Porsche is dropping the larger engines into that car. And Dodge hasn't increased the sizes of...
  16. Jim Farley Teases Mustang GT3 Roaring at Sebring - "Should We Make a Road Version?"

    If you are happy with Ford adding 20 HP on a car that costs so much, sure go ahead and pick one up. I'm underwhelmed by these 20 hp changes in a small CI engine when it would be easy to add 75-150 HP by just increasing the engine size a little. It doesn't take much of a size change to...
  17. Jim Farley Teases Mustang GT3 Roaring at Sebring - "Should We Make a Road Version?"

    Just having a 5.4 engine would be a small step in the right direction. IMO the S650 Mustang GT should have gotten a 5.4. The 5.0 is tired (has been for years). GM and Dodge build decent sized engines, I'm not sure why Ford can't. Really they should be building 6+ liters by now, but after...
  18. Buyers Remorse on Dark Horse | Car now Scheduled for 22May2023 Built

    I think it's a personal thing. If you have lots of extra money and really want a new car, then why not? Especially if you love Fords and dislike the competitors for various reasons. At the price of the DH and what I currently understand about the performance specs I've decided it's not for...
  19. Wonder why Ford didn't develop all-new Mustang?

    My problem with the Mustang seats is the bolsters are slightly too narrow for me. Camaro and Challenger are better in that regard if you get the normal seats. But most people probably won't have that problem because they are smaller in size than I am. I sit on top of the Recaro bolsters and...
  20. Wonder why Ford didn't develop all-new Mustang?

    I owned a 944 and I loved it. I think the 928 is very cool but I have never driven or ridden in one. My assumption is they are a little bigger, softer and more luxurious than I would prefer. It's interesting to hear from someone who knows better that the ride was firm. That makes the car...
