I'm a week ahead of you guys, since my Order Confirmed date was 5/11/26. My Blend Date was 07/27/2026. You can see the estimated delivery date below. It makes no sense that your delivery would get bumped out so far. However, my dealer is only 83 miles from the Flat Rock assembly facility. I...
The "Order Status" on the ford.com website is still not working for me, but I did get this email today:
I live 83 miles from Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant. We'll see how quickly the vehicle gets here for the $1,995.00 "Destination & Delivery" fee. My dealer tells me this vehicle is not...
I ordered my new Mustang in May and have been following my "Order Status" on ford.com. On July 16th, its status became "In Production." However, since at least Tuesday morning, I only get an error message saying, "We can't show your order right now. Please try again later." I called the...
I'm sure a Coyote could be built to handle 9000rpm, but would Ford want to spend the time and money to develop all the accessories that could go with that for a limited production vehicle? My understanding is that it was the accessories that set the redline for the Taurus SHO V-6 engine by...
Just got the window sticker for the 2026 being built starting today to replace my 2019 -- hence my presence on the 7G forum.
I was amazed to note that, although the "Overall Vehicle Score," " Frontal Crash," "and "Side Crash" Government 5-Star Safety Ratings for my new convertible are "Not...
In the past few days, I've heard two different "stars" on shows on the Motor Trend channel comment to the effect that they don't worry about driving an engine with roller lifters hard immediately after assembly, and that such an engine doesn't really require breaking-in. Since Coyotes have...
I got several analyses in a row from Blackstone on my first few oil changes. Although you can't do much about problems that might show up, the analyses showed how the additives were holding up and how long the oil could really go between changes. I've always used Motorcraft full synthetic --...
Here is an interesting article from Car and Driver regarding the choice of regular or premium fuel:

Since my "butt dyno" is not that finely calibrated, I have always used regular in my Mustang...
I have never had anyone sit in the back seat of my convertible. However, my wife and I greatly appreciated the space when we traveled Route 66 last year. With the wind deflector, the seats were usable for storage even with the top down.
My 2019 GT without the Performance Package came with front calipers that I believe were manufactured by Continental. I bought a spare tire and winter wheels and tires accordingly. Now, I've ordered a 2026 GT with the Performance Package and I have 5 wheels that won't fit the new car -- the...
Not only do your photos show your skill as a photographer, but your choice of photos shows that you edit well, too. Too often, people post several photos of their cars from basically the same angle and distance under the same lighting conditions. One great shot is more effective than three or...
