Gotcha. I didn’t think it was new either but I was only going back to the ‘60s when 4-speeds were the de facto performance option. If you couldn’t power shift you couldn’t win a race. We all worshipped at the throne of Grumpy Jenkins and his contempora and best of all a pit pass was peanuts at...

All pretty accurate but I don’t get the point of the tutorial. It seemed this thread was alway about manual shifting. Anyway…

I guess I’m just not comprehending something from your post. I‘ve never known or heard of anyone who ever lifted between shifts with an automatic. You‘d never know exactly when the shift was coming anyway.

You do realize we’re talking about manual transmission cars here, right? Other than the electronic nannies there’s not anything new about the no lift shit concept. It’s kinda funny that people think it’s the newest, coolest thing. Back in the day it was a lot simpler and we just called it...

At what revs did you shift? Stock 3.55s?

Seriously, wouldn’t this be like a worlds record?

There‘s no evidence that they do. Just conversation. Corvettes and 911s, yep.

Here in GA we refer to that as the ASR, or Artillery Storage Receptacle. We like to keep it dark to maintain the element of surprise. :crackup:

Glovebox light has historically been the #1 cause of dead batteries. If a car had one first thing I did was pull the bulb.

The PBD guy does seem a little confused. It’s disconcerting if you’re a 650 owner or prospective buyer looking for something to hang your hat on. Having said that, it’s the first authoritative good news I’ve seen about the power output of the 650 and I’m happy for you 650 folks. Y’all have...

They beef up the rods in the DH? That’s surprising, I didn’t know that.

Probably, but each case is different. It‘s sad the way many dealers prep cars for delivery. It just takes one dirty bucket or one dirty cloth to impart swirls and scratches. Depending on how bad they are you may want to take it back to show them, but your best bet is likely to engage a pro...

I hope y’all are right about some [presumably break-in] miles causing your cars to run stronger. When I thought I had noticed this happening myself in the past and posted about it I pretty much was advised that it was my imagination...

That‘s a great response but unfortunately it has nothing whatsoever to do with the short post of mine that you quoted. I believe I’ll yield to whatever helpful information you choose to put up.

I think you might be conflating an attempt at a polite challenge to the accuracy of something you’ve posted with someone being lazy. Two different things.

Wait. You’re saying Ford says stay under 4000 rpms for 1000 miles? Again, I’ve never seen that anywhere. Can you reference to where Ford says that? Remember, your dealer is not the same as ”Ford”. Not by a long shot. Your dealer may or may not know more than other knowledgeable people and...

One of those hood-to-header panel gaps looks exactly like my new ‘23 Mach 1. I‘m not even gonna bother taking it to the dealer and getting it back with a door nick or worse; I’m gonna take it to a local high end body shop and pay them to adjust it out if they can. This is nothing new. It’s...

Ummm, say what? Virtually everyone? Seriously?

Where did you see this 100/1000 mile rule thing?

Congrats! You did great on what you ordered and your initial take on things is pretty accurate. The popping is normal so just enjoy it. That’s why the Good Lord invented the AVE! The A10 shift bog is a real thing, at least for me. It will get better as the transmission learns how you drive, so...
