Do you feel a significant difference in acceleration or fuel efficiency?

I find it hard to believe it will be under $40K, for a hybrid nonetheless

Highly recommend dashcams. We get closer to Mad Max society everyday, you definitely want the protection. Also provides great memories if you do roadtrips and drive to scenic national parks, etc. My only complaint is even the best dashcams still have horrible audio quality (like 64kbps 16Khz...

This is basically DIY Loctite, also used when mounting rifle scopes onto rails. Better than Loctite in low-strength situations like this because real Loctite can't be easily removed and has to be wirebrushed off.

Had what I thought was a rattle along the upper driver door. Took the door panel off, added felt lining along the metal rail and plastic channel guide as posted above, and it made no difference. Then, while diagnosing a different dash rattle, I found the headlight switch was rattling. Removed...

Can't figure this out. I get a clickety-creak (like clicks that run together into a creak sound) when full-stopping/taking off from a full stop. Sounds like it's coming from the passenger side skirt/quarter panel area, but I suspect suspension. - Only happens with weight shift...

Couple possibilities: - Mustangs are known to have less of the "automatically spring back" to center than other cars. Drift guys call it "self-steer", but Mustangs are known for that in the grassroots drift world, and I honestly think it's part of why you get so many Mustang crashes (in...

@hawkbox hints at the concept of "planned obsolescence". The modern business model is to force everyone to keep paying forever, not just once. Like subscriptions, OEMs want you to buy/lease a new car every 3 years, just like a new iPhone every year, new fast fashion every season, etc. The name...

Value isn't there for anything beyond a base GT or base Ecoboost, each with 10K discount, in my opinion. I wouldn't pay full MSRP for these cars. Once the price builds up, I'd much rather spring for a base C8. Especially with that new 6.7L engine

Nice, congrats on accomplishing this. I think you're the first to successfully do this and detail the steps. A TON more work, parts, and effort than I expected, even requires a tune

Does it sound almost like an engine rattle? Like a chuckachuckachucka sound? I had that on a '25 Eco when lugging at low RPM, and my '26 GT does it too. Both my '24 Eco and '25 GT did not do this. But since it's present on both an Eco and GT, I suspect it's just how Ford builds them now...

I like the setup all-around. You got a Shelby trunk lid?

Yes, it's possible. See my thread on exactly how to do this: [TUTORIAL] Change pony emblem without removing bumper! | Mustang7G - 2024+ S650 Mustang Forum (Dark Horse, GT, EcoBoost, GT500, GT350, Mach 1)

Hope that fixes it. Personally I've bought 4 brand new S650s in the past 2 years, keep rolling the dice hoping for better. I've been disappointed every time. Every one had tons of minor-to-moderate quality issues. That's not even counting recalls. 3 of 4 have gotten at least one NHTSA recall for...

Do you have a '26? I also had ASS stop working after messing with FORScan, and had to do a BMS (Battery Monitoring System) reset because it didn't come back even after lots of freeway driving and many days. ASS started working immediately again after the BMS reset. Either the voltage dropped too...

At some point in 2025 they also dropped the new car purchase bonus from 42000 ($210) to 32000 ($160)

^That's not true anymore. I've tested it on both an S650 Ecoboost and an S650 Mustang GT. It didn't seem to do anything when I unplugged, no dash lights like on S550. If you run a code scanner, it does detect it's unplugged, but there seems to be no noticeable difference in the car's braking...

Your black badges there are not OEM, that's why. The OEM badges don't come in those plastic bags, but official Ford packaging. The non-OEM "5.0" badges need a tab trimmed to fit properly. If you inspect them closely (put it back-to-back with an OEM 5.0) you'll notice the manufacturer switched...

Did they have to pull the whole dash, or were they able to just remove that piece?

Very annoying squeak + rattle from driver A-pillar base area. Removed A-pillar trim, did some diagnosing, and pretty sure the source is actually the defroster vent. It's missing cushioning underneath on the driver's side. I can push it and make it tap, whereas the passenger side does not. I saw...
