I don't know whether to rejoice or shrug in silence, at the announcement Ford is coming out with an F150 Dark Horse model with the 500 HP coyote engine. Bolt on a Whipple, and you now have the World's fastest production pickup. It might even surpass the Mustang Dark Horse considering its four...
My 2024 Eco-Boost Premium, non PP, was delivered with 283 miles on it, as it was driven from a dealer in Los Cruses, to my dealer here in Roswell. The dash showed 29.6 mpg, but some of that was due to idling while waiting until the highway reopened near White Sands (missile launch).
Since the...
Just curious: Eco-Boost cars show vacuum in inches of mercury and pressure in PSI. Once a Whipple gets installed on a GT, does the pressure readout change like the one in the Eco-Boost?
Screens: Just about everyone on this site has commented on, has had the problem first hand, or soon will have, the proverbial blank screen! Add in the complexity of setting each available option, and the situation gets old very quickly. Thankfully, most of the settings are one-time ordeals, save...
I've looked several times for Mustang production numbers. All I've found are totals. What I want to see, are number by actual models, as in Eco-Boost, GT, Dark Horse, et. al. They're out there, but where?
I purchased a 2024 Mustang Premium Eco-Boost on September 4th, 2024. I needed a car almost right now, and I knew exactly what I wanted. My dealer (Roswell Ford's Dick Graham, Roswell, NM) found exactly what I wanted, and it arrived the next day. Soon after, I joined this group.
I've followed...
I must be an offspring of Rodney Dangerfield: I get no respect! I say this, because I drive a 2024 Eco-Boost! There are no real performance parts available. Except that is, for some bolt-on gadgets like cat back exhaust parts and at least three companies offering CAIs. None of these add-ons...
I truly wonder about the realities of installing a Whipple, or any other forced induction system, on a street vehicle? I agree 800+ HP is certainly a talking point, but I'm talking about practicality here. Better put, a driver's ability to handle a vehicle so equipped?
Just today another member...
I believe Ford should make the GT ventilated hood an extra-cost item for the Eco-Boost. Are you guys game?
I've looked around for a smashed or bashed 2024 GT with a decent hood, but haven't found one. A new hood, replete with the necessary mounting and latching parts, hovers around $1,600 plus...
Iāve been a home theater sound enthusiast since about 1987 or so. This was about the date Radio Shack came out with a rear channel decoder. With a small 15 watt stereo amp and a cheap pair of Realistic speakers, I was ready for the big show! Not!
At the time, there was a dearth of surround...
I was sitting in the garage to day testing out a few MP4a Dolby Digital (Special Audio) Apple Music files. Surprisingly, they sound better than I expected them to after a few minor setting changes, but that is a story for another time.
While I was messing with the dash, I noticed the tire...
Perhaps there should be another open thread about using or not using traction and/or stability controls?
When my Eco-Boost was delivered, it had 283 miles on the OD (dealer to dealer driven), so I wasnāt worried about pushing it hard. It didnāt take long to figure out that turning off the...
Recently, just in passing, I made mention that my new WeatherTech floor mats 'at least fit', with a reference to my 2019 Ranger's mats that never did! My comment caught the eye of WeatherTech's Customer Relations department. With out a lot of superfluous verbiage, they replaced the front mats...
I don't wish to start a battle front, but something has been bugging me for some time. To wit...
I see all sorts of interior and exterior modifications being discussed among all of the forum topic areas. Like tires and rims, seat changes, lighting, adding, subtracting, you name it. All of this...
I've been told (no names please) that the Forscan tool doesn't work on an S650, yet it does. At least you can read most of the data you can see on the dash like boost, temps, etc. You obviously can't change anything due to the lock down. What I would like to be able to do, is graph (log) the...
Particularly for Eco-Boost owners, this EPA web page should shed some enlightenment on performance:
https://www.epa.gov/gasoline-standards/gasoline-reid-vapor-pressure
The seasonal change in RVP (Reid Vapor Pressure) can be quite evident. For example, you fill your turbo'd car with Summer...
It appears that Rokblokz is the only supplier of mud flaps for the 2024 Mustang (https://rokblokz.com/collections/ford-rally-mud-flaps/S650-Mustang-Options).
The fronts went on rather easily without any issues. The rears however were a bit more cumbersome. The bottom connections use a OEM...
Is there anyone here, who has run their 2024 Eco-Boost through the 1/4 mile traps? I am aware the car mags always test the PP with its 3.55 gears, rather than the non PP with its 3.15 (like mine). That said, I'm getting times which don't seem real for the altitude (ā3,500 feet).
The times I...
