The GG is a federal tax, due at signing; Ford carves this tax out and sends it to the GOV. But ya, probably a good time to have a sit-down with the salesperson and maybe the GM. Regarding taxes in-general, everyone should check with their salesperson and local DMV. In my experience, I paid all...

In the future you'll be gifted access to a window sticker you can download. Look in the upper right. You'll see "###/###"; the first # is your place in-line on the given blend/build date. The second # is the number of cars placed on the line that date. For example, I was 237/818; this number has...

The individual salesperson, acting GM or dealer policy could all be at play. Depending on amount of orders, maybe you could get a bit of a bump, especially if you've done business with them before. Or at least clarify what their policies are. There's the possibility the salesperson might not...

Priority codes relate to your place in line with respect to other buyers at that dealer. Customer orders are often given low double-digit code, 10-19 or 11-19. Dealer stock orders often receive high double-digit codes. While 19 is on the low end of the spectrum, it depends on how many...

I think we're talking the same thing. I believe the salesperson gets base pay + commission and incentives. Do surveys impact the salesperson's base pay? No. Do these impact their commission and any incentives? It's my belief they do. No survey received or anything other than a great score can...

In summary, in the overwhelming majority of sales: yes. While Ford can offer Price Protection, are dealers required to support it? No. If in a situation where you have an order in but the dealer will not support protection, ultimately, you can walk, with the dealer attempting to sell the car...

Reviewing the US 2022 and 2024 Order Guides and 2024 Tech Specs: yes. The US-spec GT w/PP, M1 and DH have the Torsen, 3.55 (Auto), 3.73 (Manual). For 2024, US-spec GTs without the PP have Trac-Lok with 3.15 (Auto) and 3.55 (Manual). For 2024, US-spec EBs without the PP have Trac-Lok, 3.15s...

In previous model years, this is my understanding... US-spec automatics received a Torsen diff with 3.55 gearing. Manuals: a Torsen diff with 3.73 gearing. EU/AU-spec, automatic or manual, were all Trac-Lok, 3.55 gearing.

https://www.kmpdrivetrain.com/differentials/torsen-vs-plated-limited-slip-differential/ https://www.kmpdrivetrain.com/differentials/plated-limited-slip-differential-explained/ I found these past and felt they gave a good rundown of both Torsen and plated LSD. Each design has their pros and...

Times past, there have been differences with exports. For example, while US models might have the Torsen as an option, EU models did not; they received a Traction Lock diff. Window stickers, pre-production and early into the MY are factors leading to the questioning of this car bound for Asia...

I take this as a general statement from Ford, but yes. The 6G cars use an Oil Life Monitor system to determine when to change the oil. I expect the 7G to to use a like feature. The Monitor uses a variety of factors to determine remaining oil life, including number of drives, range of drives...

I wish you well, but it doesn't seem like a Mustang is your car. You should look into a EUR model, maybe a BMW M, possibly a JP performance unit from Lexus or Infiniti.

The photo referenced, it's from a test mule, PreProduction car? If so, large variations would be expected. The Mustang is a mass production, US model. Panel alignment is something often noticed and commented on, but for most, not an issue. In those instances where something is received which...

I cannot give an answer but can give you a general feel for things. From what I understand thus far...the initial month or two is going to be dedicated to dealer stock. Ford wants to sell the S650, but there aren't any on the lots. Around June, Ford will begin building customer orders. This...

Two related items: 1. I'll be changing the factory drain plug to one from UPR. The 3rd Gen engine holds ten quarts, coming out all at once. The UPR plug has a screw valve on the end, allowing me to control the output, with an attachment for a hose. The UPR plug is also magnetic. 2. I'll be...

My current ride is the first Mustang I've owned. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum (PUP) and Pennzoil Full Synthetic oils get good reviews and comments from other Mustang owners. I've got two jugs of PUP on the bench, to be used next month. Blackstone is most often used for engine oil analysis...

I visited my local Ford dealer last week. Their experiences are similar. In 2022, the local dealer was having difficulty maintaining a car inventory, having enough new vehicles; that seems to be sorted now, at least in my area. In 2023, their main problem is replacement parts. Shelves are...

I could go with and appreciate either analog or digital. Depends on the era of the car. A K-code with a digital display will probably look "weird". Same with an S650 having multiple analog units. My interests (for both styles) involve functionality and purpose (always #1), then overall design...

When confirming the diameter and width, see if anyone can confirm that rim's offset. On the S550 rims I've seen, the offset # is marked as part of the casting process, on the back of the rim.

Looks like April/May timeframe will be start of production, but there are many variables. When Ford was in production in 2022, they were building generally 800 cars a day. But they don't produce every day of the week or every week of the month. Dates will coming out soon. When scheduled for...
