My grandfather purchased a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500XL R-Code 427 4-speed new. He loved that car and kept it in a garage all the time. Other cars and trucks came and went but that Galaxie always returned to it's stable while he was alive. It was Black w/very red interior (don't remember Ford color...
I watched the video which by the way is awesome! :like:
You have a gift coming your way in the future. That gift will be the day your daughter truly understands what you let go just for her. Kudos to you sir!
The Gen. 4 Coyote engine (Mustang in this case) provides a lot of bang per Liter / Cu. In.
The Gen. 4 Coyote, it's predecessors, and most modern engines today will never win a beauty contest. Toping a Gen 4. with SC does help. Short of that (including w/SC) the engine from a "looks" and...
I love my Mustang but..... At 288 mph I'd be looking in the rear view mirror to see what's departing. Pre 288 mph run - PPF âś“ Post 288 mph run - PPF đźš«
Idiots says it all! Below is what I had to say about this when the OP mentioned this is a previous thread.
How did you get it off? Pondering the following..... The fact that Shelby or a supplier did that is troubling to say the least. Shame on the guilty party! Red loctite has no place on a...
I think it would look great if you paint match the ducktail spoiler to match your DH. Not paint matching the duckbill would kill the look in my opinion. Carbon fiber wing would stay as-is. Ouch, that CF Shelby wing is $$$$. Sometimes one has to pay up to get what they want and I have no problem...
I believe the estimated number of vehicles with the defect is 0.4% of the total recall. If memory serves me the recall amount was close to 68,000 +/- . If correct, only 272 +/-unlucky owners will need to return for round two when the parts are available.
EDIT - See below. The way this reads...

Unlikely. It’ll cost a bit more because it’s price is double so that’s a given. But the people who buy convertible mustangs are generally pretty boring. It won’t be wildly more expensive. It’s not like we’re talking about a Charger Scat Pack or a Prius here. True story my wife’s...
I respectfully disagree. Personality type (per se) is not a metric used by actuaries and underwriters. I did check into cost and couldn't get exacts but was told in many cases expect the cost to be double that of a standard Dark Horse. Double plus was also thrown in the mix. Insurance cost is...
Insuring a convertible Dark Horse SC will be leaps and bounds more expensive than a GT/CS vert. Not even in the same ball park.
Reason #1 - Registered at 795 hp.
Reason #2 - Cost to repair - Much higher due to supply and demand.
Reason #3 - The insurer will assume the owner operator will at...
It appears to me the OP's Mustang has the PP option. Manual + PP = 3.73 gear ratio. Add a SC to the above combo and heavy go bye, bye. :like:
On the other hand, I get what you're saying.
If I were to set my Mustang up with a drag pack I would consider 4.09's to even the odds against 10R80's.
Testing various aftermarket hood vents against OEM for heat extraction is not the correct test anyway. They were added to the S-650's to reduce front lift. Aero team add thus aero part..... You'll need a wind tunnel to check how well the hood vents perform against OEM.
Edited for clarity.
No surprise the underbody panels are part of every oil change thread.
Under body panels are 100% aero components.
The aero package (if you will) tiers up from the EcoBoost, GT, GT PP, DH, DH HP. DH HP being King of the Hill.
Another aero feature is the hood vent. Hood vent purpose - Reduce...
I have no idea how popular or not such a car would be.
A Mustang is a Mustang only if it's a Mustang. Verifying a Mustang is a Mustang is very easy.

The amount of time rev. matching impacts engine braking (to zero) can vary from tenths of a second (driver) down to milliseconds when computer controlled including some professional drivers i.e., Ricky Rudd (Former NASCAR driver where computer rev. match will never be allowed). The only...
Many full on race cars with professional drivers behind the wheel utilize a form of rev. match. How its managed varies to some degree... the end result is basically the same.
The development of computerized rev. matching began in professional racing not in production cars such as the Mustang...
