  1. Track Mode - Traction Control

    As you've confirmed, TC is unavailable in Track Mode. The next closest mode with TC would be Sport+. I did some Googling to see if TC could be enabled in Track Mode via a tuning device, but could find no reference. To go one step further, while in Track Mode, AdvanceTrack and/or stability...
  2. Price increase on paint colors?

    :thumbsup: Ya, I don't expect paint prices to subside any time soon. It's been something of a rolling series of issues. Pandemic and global production halts, petrochemical shortages during the Winter in Texas that reduced refinery output at the time, the war in EUR (material shortages...
  3. Price increase on paint colors?

    If you're not familiar with the topic, discuss Price Protection with the dealer. If an $$$ increase does occur after an order is placed, Ford covers the difference. The only qualification is the person who buys the car is the same one who ordered it. After the price change, all future...
  4. DH tramlining badly

    I can't speak to your setup, but I can of Mach owners with HPs (305/30, 315/30 w/Michelin Cup2s). Yes, you will benefit with different tires. Trofeos and Cup2s are great tires, for the track or spirited driving. They're wide and tacky. It's what they're made for and your existing setup is...
  5. No front tow hook.

    My initial information was wrong. I found the reference in the S650 Manual, printed page 282:
  6. No front tow hook.

    It would seem neither. The hook is often in the trunk, under the cover for the tire pump. As to the receiver, a picture of what the bumper should look like.
  7. Service/Repair Manual?

    https://www.motorcraftservice.com/ This is a link to the Ford web site. While not cheap, it is a source to the actual repair procedures, diagrams and references used by dealers and technicians. Many select 72-hour access, then download (print to file) the diagrams or repair action needed...
  8. No front tow hook.

    The Order Guide (Aug '23) is not much help in clarifying. Under Standard Equipment for the Dark Horse, tow hooks are referenced. But they are referenced yet again under the Handling Package option. For other trims, Tow Hooks are referenced as part of a Performance Package. At the Ford web...
  9. Gorgeous DH

    At the time of shooting, the car appeared to be in Virginia. If you stop the video at just the right moment, you can read the highway sign: Richmond. It's not a factory color. The car has been wrapped. The closest Ford hue I can think of is Grabber Green, used on the 1970 Boss 429...
  10. Daily Driver - Empty Catch Can Frequency?

    "Note: The oil consumption of new engines reaches its normal level after approximately 3,000 mi (5,000 km)." ^ I'd monitor the engine oil and all fluids closely early on. The first few weeks of ownership, after each drive, I checked fluids, under the hood, under the car. I was looking for...
  11. Daily Driver - Empty Catch Can Frequency?

    I check mine once a quarter, to see what the fluid looks like more than anything else. The can is something of a window into what is going on inside the engine. I empty it once a year, at the oil change. We all drive different and have different mileage. For 5,000 miles, 8,000 kilometers, I'd...
  12. Fuel for '24 GT

    Yes, they will ship almost empty. There will be enough for transfers at the different waypoints, ultimately the dealer and a close-by pump, but not much else. The cars shipping by rail or truck in the US probably don't have much more in them.
  13. GT Break in Procedure

    https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/first-oil-change-and-analysis.132878/ https://www.blackstone-labs.com/ I thought this could compliment the existing discussion. Regardless how you break-in your car, oil analysis will quantify how well things are going. If you're interested in an oil...
  14. GT Did Not Start, Threw Every Code At Me

    https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/tsbs-ssms-and-recalls-for-the-24-mustang.157809/ Link will point you towards all the current recalls, Special Service Messages (SSM) and Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) for the S650. It's not always the same thing, but fortunately, the fixes are often...
  15. GT Break in Procedure

    https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/new-mustang-owner.156812/#post-3202835 FWIW, this is a thread I comment in earlier. Break-in threads are akin to discussions of oil and fuel types: they can generate a wide variety of responses and can become animated. :crazy:. :giggle:. I first...
  16. Blue Ember vs lighter colors

    GBM can flop, depending on the lighting. In the Sun, the pearl shows and it is bright, but not in a bad way. At lower levels of lighting, the color can look more like traditional GB: solid and elegant. I'm glad it was available and I was able to select it. IMO, it's a traditional, distinctive...
  17. Gasoline options and recommendations

    I was doing some deep dives this AM and thought I'd post a few links. We talk about octane. I've mentioned LSPI, Low Speed Pre-Ignition previously. LSPI is where all the variables align, resulting in detonation high enough to do engine damage. Turbo (see Eco) Owners should be more attentive to...
  18. Fuel for '24 GT

    I've always used Shell, every vehicle, highest octane I can find. As you said, top tier will ensure the fuel has a good amount of detergent additives. The Gen4 is running a 12:1 compression ratio. The Eco 10.6:1. The highest octane will get the Owner all the power possible from the stock...
  19. I haven't sold a car before, I'm about to sell my 2018, looking for advice.

    I thought the following might provide enough detail for those interested. You could also have some additional notes handy, to give even more about the car when they reach out. For Sale: One-owner [color] 2018 [engine] [trans] Ford Mustang [trim] - No accidents. Clean CarFax - ##,### miles -...
  20. Is Your S650 Spying on You?

    Touch'e. Attached is a picture of what you're referring to. On the 550, #9 position is not used, even though it is shared with #8. So, ya. My bad. A dedicated position #9 fuse would need to be tested.
