If it isn't in your oil and is not visible coming out your tail pipes (easy to see) and there are neither leaks from the block (easy to see and smell - sweet smell) nor from your inside cabin heater (easy to smell - sweet smell) then the rise and falls are normal for where you live and drive...

Understood. That oil temp is hot enough that it should not be the cause of any undue "noise" from the engine block IMO. Can you hear it with the hood up? Could it be turbo noise? The turbos have very tiny oil passages and if the oil is not hot enough to flow easily through them they can make noise.

Yes, even my friends with Corvettes are jealous of the 5.0 sound. It has remained consistently distinct across iterations.

At your fifteen minutes to work - which IMO is a really short commute - what are your fluid temps?

My GT is away for the winter but I start it every three weeks and run it until temps are normal operating range. I have done the same for my last 3 Mustangs. What I hear - on yours - is IMO normal and if it gives you some peace of mind (and I hope it does) my GTs all sounded louder until the...

.......hope this leads to more capacity for build allocations for 2026 GTs as I have a 2026 GT on order :cool:

@tankcj ..... I don't believe Oxford White is offered for 2026. I had a 2014 Oxford White convertible I got a LOT of compliments on it. That said Grabber Blue is AWESOME. I ordered a 2026 GT Premium Convertible a couple of weeks ago in vapor blue metallic - like my 2024 GT convertible and that...

@tankcj ..... Congratulations. Did they give you any indication when you might get the VIN and/or when it might arrive?

@Jarstang ..... about those sales numbers. Several guys I know have been shopping for 2026 Mustang GTs - ALL - have said the same thing. Dealers have more interest that order allocation. Yes, you heard that right., you might not be able to order a Mustang from a dealer if they don't have the...

......2024 GT - no leaks.

A few and I mean only a few posts on this forum (many more on others) show that owners have no clue how to properly mod engines and their brothers - the transmission and rear end - none of which should be heavily modded independently. I remember my uncle explaining to a guy who came into the...

@Frogdog1 ..... apologies for the tardy reply. I use Meguair's Gold. The bottle has changed names a bit over the years but I read the label to ensure it had a high content of carnauba wax. It is a black bottle and when you put some on a microfiber cloth to begin applying it you can really smell...

@ValhallaNitePony ..... nope. No vendor in their right mind will be responsible for that kind of stupid $hit - you do that and you're on your own. Of course asking the vendor will give them a laugh to share with their friends and families.

......oh man I can hardly believe some of the posts we get. Owners go waaay outside of safety margins and blow-up their machinery. Then it's - what happened????? When we built marine and land vehicle race engines we always said - you know there is no warranty on this, right?

@Ewheels ..... just buy a base ecoboost and take it to a shop .... have them put a twin turbo on it. That is the closest you will ever get to what you want. No way will Ford ever make a mini version of the present Mustang platform with the specs you want. They'd be lucky to sell 10 of them - and...

.....the best news is that on this forum there may be a bit of disagreement - but - I find it respectful disagreement, unlike some other forums. We have to be better than many in government who will not even consider the others' points of view. That is toxic for society. We do a lot better here...

@135Hoser ..... exactly - just study weather across the centuries and you'll see that massive swings are normal and if I'm wrong I'll head to mars with Elon - but - seriously - NOTHING we do in NA counts for spit! India, Africa, China - without them buying-in, and they won't/can't we are all...

Agreed. I would have paid extra for the lighted sills but maybe it was determined that there would not be enough orders to justify that option.

I just ordered a 2026 Mustang GT Premium Convertible so I'm doing my part! :cool:
