Rev matching/auto blipping? Real men heel and toe.

Having seen many accidents, a few fatals, and a lot of crap driving, there's no way I'd race some stranger (or friend) on the street. As for killing your wife, who could live with that?

Darwin award and bar.

I remember an old episode of Top Gear where Stirling Moss (I think) demonstrated to Clarkson how to make any car understeer or oversteer at will. Those old guys with analogue cars knew their stuff.

I tend to cruise at 10 - 15kmh over our ridiculous 100 kmh limit, and stay alert for Waze and detector warnings. But when I overtake I'll travel at whatever's necessary. The problem is, the Mustang gets to 160 - 180kmh quicker than my old car got to 140. It took some getting used to.

Tyre rotation is well worth doing if a car puts heavy wear on front or rear tyres. High power FWD's for one example. I'm not so sure about swapping side to side though, I'd measure the tread depth then make the call. As someone posted, I'd keep an eye on unusual wear patterns and get an...

That's entirely unacceptable. It should be redone. All that should have been dealt with by him before the car was laid up to be honest. My PPF guy doesn't use precut sections, he lays on the sheets and trims to suit. There's just one small flaw that I chose not to worry about, but he would have...

I'd also check if the master cylinder for the Brembo set up is the same as your current one.

I have to agree. My last car, a turbo 2L would be as quick to 100 as the Mustang if launch was used. But there's no way it'd stay with the Ford in a roll on. And you can't beat the way a powerful RWD car squats and squirms on corner exit.

I had the same Pirelli P Zero PZ4's on my Cupra Ateca, and went to Mich PS5. They were much superior, especially on turn in. The PS4S would be better still, but I wanted better tread life. I'll probably go the same way on the Ford

I usually use custom mode - sport steering, sport exhaust, TC and ESC on, stop/start and lane assist off. Sport mode if I'm doing some "christian motoring" with or without ESC/TC if it's dry. Or, normal mode, normal exhaust, stop/start off, lane assist off, comfort steering.

If I drove that many cars, I'd probably give up and take a bus. That's just utter confusion. We don't have such a huge choice of makes and models here, and the only comparable competition for the Mustang is a 370Z, which will never darken my garage. Everything else is $20k more. The Mustang had...

I had to create a couple of mounts. The one above the volume knob is a selfie stick phone holder on a magnetic ball mount stuck to the dash, so I can get my phone in front of the vent to cool it on long trips. The other is for my dedicated V1/JBV1 display phone. I couldn't find a mount that put...

I read a comment on the V1 Discord channel about Mustang rattles, so it was a pleasant surprise to have none. (Touch wood) If there's going to be rattles in a car our goat tracks will bring them out.

One of the things that made me take a long look at a Mustang was a review by a Dutch guy on Autotop NL. He drives all sorts of exotica, and loved the Mustang because it was fun. He thought too many cars are just so good they're not that much fun for normal drivers on normal roads So I drove a...

Battery tenders are worth their weight in....batteries? The battery on my bike was the original and still working fine after 9 years

If you can get under the car, try and isolate where the noise is coming from. Ie, engine, trans etc. I doubt it would be from the rear

It may be a personal thing, but I don't feel that it understeers to any great degree. bearing in mind that our roads a generally narrower, slower and twistier than in the US. I have a favourite stretch of road crossing the Kaimai range south of the city, very smooth, very twisty and an awesome...

Hi all from little old New Zealand. i live in Tauranga, a port city on the east coast of the North Island. I'm into my 3rd month of Mustang ownership still wondering why I took so long. What a fantastically fun car, my first US car, 1st V8 and first Ford. Only took me 57 years from getting my...
