Yep. Using the car as a car means driving long distances. I can’t imagine putting myself in a situation where I have to wait an hour or several hours for a tow truck just to get towed to a shop to have them maybe fix the tire. I’d much rather have a spare and be on my way in minutes. Seeing how...

That is 100% a fact. It will not clear the front brakes on a dark horse.

Who need a trunk anyway? I really like the OEM mini spare.

Mine came with all that plus the active exhaust and the GT/CS package and was $53k. the base exhaust is fine, but in addition to getting quick a bit louder, the active exhaust can also be significantly quieter if you prefer. which from time to time being quiet is golden.

That’s incredible. good luck with the test drives, I hope you find what you want.

Your car is not even close to warmed up when the revs drop after the initial hang. It just means the catalytic converters are at the minimum of their optimal temperature range. It does this to reduce overall emissions.

If I’d wanted the faster car, I’d have just kept my Model 3 performance. I bought the GT for the experience.

The temp bar is coolant temp. It has nothing to do with cylinder head or oil temp. I wait for oil temp to hit 180 before I lay into it. But for just driving off I give it the 20-30 seconds for the RPMs to drop.

It’s not suited to that at all nor is that the intended use. It’s meant as an aid when you’re actively paying attention to the road and it isn’t even good at that. It is 100% not safe to use if you’re not paying attention for any length of time.

I turned off auto hold almost immediately Because it engages on totally flat roads and adds that tiny bit of resistance. Made cruising around town slightly less pleasant as it made every start less smooth than it should be.

I’ve drive manuals for 30 years. My last manual before my 24 Mustang GT was the 2014 Mustang GT. The main difference is that the clutch has even weight for the entire throw which it did not in the 14. Add in rev matching, and hill hold and it is a joy to drive by comparison. But there is...

I had “full self driving” for about 6 months of the 4 years I owned my Model 3 Performance. Autopilot was exceptionally good at keeping the car centered in the lane in almost any conditions. FSD was incredibly good keeping the car in a safe position in the lane, moving away from Semi-trucks and...

Yep. This is it. Then I wait for oil temp to hit 180 while driving before I let er rip. Not much else to think about here.

Never saw the bamboo break package 😆 as for what a good deal is? That’s an objective consideration and way more than just a feeling. $53k out the door for a fastback other than a dark horse is an ok deal but not at all a good deal. They can get it way cheaper than that.

Terrible deal. Got my 24 GT/CS convertible, 401A, Oxford White, B&O, Active valve, spare tire, and an extra set of all weather floor mats for $53k back in june. If that isn’t a convertible, then you’re still about $8k too high. we’re a stones throw away from 26. That car should be $45-$47...

Get an agreement from the dealer that will do the work. The recall is a 2-3 hour job so long as there is no water intrusion already into the BCM. If your car has never been driven in the rain, then it seems unlikely you’ll need any specialized work to be done. My dealership provides white...

Yep. Just keep the car clean and the airflow is really pleasant.

Interesting. Drove mine with the top down all summer long and never once thought there was an issue with cabin aero. To each their own.

I mean you’re putting damned near 500 horsepower through the transmission that sits inches away from you. Of course it’s going to get hot, especially in endless stop and go traffic. why not just leave the ac on?

Yep, better to just get the 6 speed manual than to bother with the hassle of the automatic trying to make up its mind.
