I think your wife is 100% correct. Actually I don’t think it was ever anything other than carefully thought through. If they want to stay in the game they’ve gotta appeal to the market. And people like me who prefer simple analog are quickly aging out. It‘s a little like the wheels/rims thing...

I just wish we could turn the Wayback Machine back to when wheels were actually called wheels. You know, before they became rims.

I have the same wheels except in the bronze color, which shows brake dust even worse. So I cleaned them today for the first time in 800 miles. I let them go too long and they were in awful shape. Using my S100 spray method along with a low powered battery pressure washer to rinse and a very...

If you can comfortably swing it, and since you listed it I assume you can, here is the 100% indisputable answer right here in your own words: ”get the dark horse, keep it factory and get the spec 3 too” You would have the happiest garage imaginable!

I agree and think you’re dead on the money here.

Your car looks great! Two questions if you have a minute: Are those factory stripes? And what difference have you noticed with the addition of the STB?

I agree with this but didn’t realize that people were “saying” it and that it was a noticeable thing. Glad it‘s not just me.

Stupid as it sounds it helps me to be aware of this. I find myself having to correct unexpectedly in a turn having used more input than necessary after coming right out of a 550.

By “turn in”, do you basically mean just a quicker steering ratio? I see this term frequently and not being a track guy I’m not sure exactly what it refers to. The S650 does seem “twitchier” if that means anything.

I’ve only got about 800 miles on my new non-PP GT A10, virtually 100% driven in track mode. I thought I had noticed this but after a 100 mile romp in my same configured 2020 GT yesterday, also in track mode, I’m sure of it. The steering is completely different on these two cars. A little hard to...

Wow, thank you. This is exactly what I was hoping to hear. My car sounds just like yours but has the 19x255 tires. I can’t imagine the contact patch is much different from your 20x265s so wheelspin should be about the same. Sounds like it’s manageable on the street if you don’t get too crazy...

asc709 I’d say you got something fun allright, without a doubt! Just to make sure I understand, your car is not a PP or Magneride car, just the standard suspension with 20s and 265s, right? And I assume it has the standard 3.15 rear too then? If that’s the case please tell us how the car...

Beautiful car! So did you have your dealer install the Whipple new before you took delivery? Is your car a PP or does it have other mods, especially suspension? What about wheels and tires?

Which doesn’t square with the A.S.S. system being installed on my late ‘24 GT. I’m assuming of course that given a choice nobody would actually want it to be on their car. I know it’s the one thing that would have kept me off the otherwise terrific car if it weren’t auto-disabled in track and...

Since you brought it up I’ll throw in a little. My middle name is cynical but there might be more to this story than meets the eye. For instance, if you’ve already got a totaled Corvette why not just cut it up and pull it out instead of destroying your roof to crane it out? Maybe my lift is...

OK. But at what price? My point exactly! And to my point again, 90 might be OK but 135 won’t fly. I love my S650 GT and I’m sure Ford is gonna come out with some more really cool stuff. But for those with regular budgets I’m just saying it might be time to take a hard look at S550 Mach 1s...

I was reading this thread https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/got-denied-for-a-gtd-whats-the-next-regular-high-performance-mustang-coming-down-the-pike.162503/ and it got me to thinking. Most average folks, myself included, can neither reach $325K+ for a GTD nor wangle one if they could...

Thanks! I got the white one during 4th of July week last year so I blame it on being overwhelmed by patriotism. I caught the family CFO in a charitable mood last month and snuck in a black one too. I got no excuse for it. So unless I bite the bullet and get another lift one has to rotate in...

I can’t remember if the ramps came with mine or they were options but with mine anyway they’d almost be a necessity.

Congratulations on the lift; you’re really gonna enjoy it! My garage ceiling was only 9’-3” but it was clear space between trusses overhead so I had a 32” tray built up so the top car had a place to go. Also had to install a high headroom door kit and a side mounted motor. Mine is...
