That is wrong. Youāre clutch braking When you engage the clutch without properly matching the RPMs. Engine braking is a function of the PCM. When you have the clutch engaged in gear with zero throttle input, are at operating temperature, are above a minimum speed and at least a few hundred...
You sure about that? The car absolutely engine brakes with rev matching on. Surely you arenāt saying you use the clutch to brake? If youāre going into a lower gear at lower RPM than you should then you are just burning up the clutch instead of your brakes. Brakes, even the full brembo brakes...
Rev matching is the game changer that removes the only valid reason IMO to not want a manual transmission in a daily. It makes constantly and rapid downshifts quite pleasant. No more guessing if I have the RPMs right and having the car jerk if Iām not perfect each time. Plus it sounds cool...
Its the saddest thing. Iāve had my 24 for about 14 months and Iāve driven almost 11,000 miles. These cars are exquisite to drive. Its a shame to leave them parked.
Ceramic coat will 100% not do anything useful in this scenario. It would have scratched with the coating and it will be able to get scratched again after it
That looks like it got scratched while it was being washed. It never hurts to ask for warranty coverage, but I wouldnāt think that would be covered. Iād love to be wrong.
I babied mine for the first 1000 miles. Then I had the oil changed and finally opened it up. Now I change the oil every 6k miles with full synthetic and have the tires rotated. Itās a brand new car, youāre going to have it a hell of a lot longer than 1000 miles. If nothing else itās a great...
The CS stickers are way more subtle than that. They taper off, are half black, and donāt have a Mustang graphic built in. Also theyāre not a faux GT which is wildly better.
Post title is wrong. They jumped 22% in the first half of 2026 over 2025. Q1 26 was up 50% yoy while q2 was up 3.3% yoy. Spiking gas prices severely harmed their momentum.
I sold my 14 GT and bought a GTI when we started our family. The GTI was a perfect car. But the GT was the only car I ever regretted selling. So I ended up buying another one with the 24 I own now.
Itās so odd that they just went with the crappy plastic plate of the base model. A simple metal plate with plastic surround would have been in line with the majority of decent cars.
