Carbon Ceramics aren't that expensive. I've been running them for many years on various cars. The rotors will show surface rust. Like everyone is saying, just drive it around the block. That rust will be history.
That looks like ice. We had all snow here, but 12+ inches of it. My DH is in the garage until a nice day in the 50's. The only thing that works on ice is studs or chains. Cat litter is good, but only to get you out of a slick spot, not an ice covered road.
My 2025 DHP has no rattles (so far), it's a solid performer. I really wanted the DH engine as it has the Terminator con rods. I'm a driver who's maxed out on revs, plus the engine/transmission/differential coolers are great insurance. The 10R80 in drag mode is an experience all its own. Shifts...
I ran these on my Fusion Sport. The Michelin PS4S tires were far superior in corners and on launches. It's a FWD Fusion (I had pretty much everything in the Steeda catalog on that car, including a 93 octane tune), lighter and about half a second quicker to 60 than the AWD, the Michelins hooked...
I got my 2025 DH in November for invoice. They said they had a '26 coming in and they needed the showroom space. They even showed me the invoice from Ford, but said I couldn't photograph it.
Interesting. My 2025 DH says 5W-30 full synthetic and 9.5 quarts to fill. It says nothing about track pack weight being different. My dyno people say always use 5W-50 with the Whipple.
I'm all about the performance. Back in the day I loved 4 speed top loader cars. Now all my early cars are cruisers except the CJ Mach 1 with a heavily built C6. 3.91 gears, and a barks the tires on the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts. Puts your head in the seat back on the shifts. Love that feeling. I had an...
Wow, this thread has taken a crazy turn off topic. Look, drive the type of car you prefer, I'm just a fan of making the Mustang as quick as it can be. You like shifting and clutching, I support your right to choose that.
Again, if you don't want the fastest Mustang, enjoy the shifting. I love the feeling of watching a Slomaro fading into the distance as my Whipple 10R80 Dark Horse leaves them in anguish.
Agreed. I've run Steeda filters literally since I can remember. Have a second set, wash them by soaking in warm water with their cleaning solution. Put them in the sun on shop towels for a day. Conservatively coat each pleat with new oil. Next put them on a shop towel below and on top, first...
I'm certainly not contesting your right to buy and drive what you want. I feel engaged with the paddle shifters, especially after a good tune is applied. Lightening fast shifts, crisp and responsive. I enjoyed a good big block four speed back in the day when they were the used cars. Then I was...
I'm in it for the quickness, and faster is faster. I want the fastest Mustang Dark Horse. If the stick were quicker, that's what I'd have gone with. The 10R80 is faster, drag or track, period. So yeah, the dual clutch 7 speed is no problem at all. You can row gears all you want and I'll stick...
Well, shine she may but run she must! 0.4 seconds 0-60 costs $ and I can't out shift the 10R80, so I have no problem with the paddle shifters and a faster car.
Or... You could enjoy being faster with your 10R80. 0.4 faster 0-60 at 3.7 seconds and 12.0 in the quarter, a half second quicker. For me it's all about speed and quickness.
