Sorry to read about your misfortune. It seems unreasonable for them to hold your car, but at least you've got a loaner! My understanding is that Ford had a fix for the recall, but that it isn't working. If true and I were in your shoes, I'd start a buyback...

Well, he's always been a closet American and a Mustang fan. So I'm not surprised.

Bruh, word! Dat cap is phat! :rockon: I don't see the need for using the brake when our cars have enough torque to break loose already. But then, I can't maintain a drift for more than a couple of seconds anyway (on a wet skidpad), so I'm not a good judge.

I'm of the opinion that spacers are bad. Think leverage, the unsprung weight of the wheel and tire now put more stress on the connected parts. Plus, magnifying/multiplying camber effects, perhaps? Stud kits, made of proper grade parts that can handle the stresses, I don't see an issue with...

ditto. This has been my personal experience when swapping street and track tire/wheel setups. No dyno confirmation, just my butt. Don't forget to figure in the weight of the tires when estimating any benefit. If you're not racing, then it's really just a matter of budget and willingness to...

Sometimes these cars can't recognize devices that have too much storage. Try a smaller device (like 32Gb or less).

Those are wicked cool wheels, and for those interested, it's about what you'd pay for new tires and TPMS sensors... You might do better putting this in the classifieds forum.

I will add that since my earlier post and adding a few miles onto the car, it's getting better. Everything needs a bit of break-in and heat cycles. I test drove a 355 a few years back. It was, by far, the worst transmission I have ever experienced, which includes a 3500 chassis 200+K...

If you guys and gals knew what dealers do to their cars and the lack of care and attention that the "detail" or "prep" guys do, you would probably cry. It's best to just not think about it.

I'm very happy with the DH. Previously owned a S550 GT coupe and GT premium convertible. The DH is worth the price difference IMHO.

This has been my solution as well in the S650. I too am a recovering Zupra owner. :shock:

I do not. Standard black with blueish accents? It's all kind of weird. Regardless, thanks but no, I don't think I want to do the swap. I find the recaros too difficult to get out of for them to work for me.

I can't remember exactly, but are the Recarro seats heated? If not, then I wonder if you'll be able to use the heated seats on the replacements without some coding. Of course, that may not matter to you, just wondering. I'm a bit tempted to swap with you, but I think I'd miss the heat and I...

This is very true. That said, odds are you'll be fine. Keep in mind that if you "take it Ford" they will just call Safelite. And, as noted, a windshield claim should not affect your premiums.

It's not a box of rocks, but it is notchy, especially when cold. For me, 2nd and 5th are the worst. I test drove another DH and it was also notchy. It gets much better when hot, but still not silky smooth. But I don't expect that in a high performance transmission. Keep in mind that...

I'm with you there brother, I too suffer from car A.D.D. but as I prefer manual transmissions, the C8 is out for me. You don't need a second set of tires, whatever you've got on the car now (I presume OE) will be fine. JUST DO IT. Then if you want to go buy a midlife crisis gold-chain-wearing...

As I wrote in this thread I am very happy with the performance of my stock car. I was telling the wife recently that I had spent tens of thousands of dollars preparing a car for the track, and all of the issues that I had with the car after that point were directly related to those...

First, I didn't go for the HP because it's just too stiff for the road even in comfort mode. I'll go to the track 2 or 3 times a year, the rest of the time I'm driving on the streets or on the way to the track. It's just too much for me. I'm old. Second, the owner's manual states that the...

What's stopping you?

Yesterday I went to my home track, VIR, for a day of fun in the sun. The weather was perfect, although it started cool, it stayed in the 60s. For background, I've been doing track events since the 90s, and I've probably been to VIR 40 times or more as a driver and HPDE instructor with various...
