Interestingly my car has been receiving quite a few software updates in the last month. The latest one was to the software updater itself to make updates more seamless ...
Only in limited sizes, and out of 4 tyre sizes i have across two cars (all of which can have pz4) the pz5 currently only fits one of them and neither of them are on the mustang
New car sales are down significantly across the board though. Even at just under 60k that's a near 50% increase on a '22gt.
My car was the most expensive ford my dealer / dealership had ever sold new.
Cars were late, dealers had sparse info as to what was going on which cost them sales. I suspect a good chunk of the cars sat around now are those that were ordered back in February'24 and then buyers found something else before it was delivered.
'24 sales numbers will be bad because they were...
Sat on the dealers forecourt, had a nosey at my dealers whilst my other car was in for service (they're next door) they have 3 24'GT's and a Dark horse for sale and a mach1, and a 19'GT looked like they'd been sat there for a while as well from the dust.
3/6 of the cars were red.
If that's accurate then it would explain a lot. I'm slightly surprised they all cross Zero at zero, usually normal modes will cross a little above and sporty modes will cross lower to increase engine braking. All depends on how Idle Air Control works.
I was going to post this in the regret...
I'll keep my reply to the point ...
When i joined this forum (after ordering my car) there was quite a few comments / complaints about the throttle response and how it was sluggish and lazy.
With people recommending 'throttle commanders' that alter the throttle response curve.
This was not my...
Set a custom drive mode, it's exactly what they exist for customising the settings to how you want. You pick a base mode then tweak steering / traction etc.
Track mode throttle feels sluggish compared to other modes, i was expecting more engine braking and a snappier feel but instead you get...
Yup, as much as i've tried to bond with the car it just hasn't happened.
Wish i'd had chance to test drive one before i brought it, but when it took nearly 8 months between ordering and delivering and my car was the first to arrive even before the dealer demo my mind was set.
Didn't drive it...
I saw a 2024 RTR on display at donington yesterday, along with various gen 5/6's from several different UK clubs, mine was at home.
I do see a red gen 6 quite frequently (who enthusiastically waves and that's returned) and also an orange gen6 who rarely acknowledges me (although half the time...
That is correct, ford upped the price and removed features / options.
Auto became a free option tho.
Also things to watch out for on '24s is the clutch line not being connected correctly to the firewall on manual cars. Ended up in one burnt out car and alot recalled for a checkup
Was ambient temperature a little lower than intake temperature ? aka a warm day.
230F is fine for engine oil, however 17psi is a little on the low side for what i assume is idle.
Mine (still on factory oil, about to be changed after first 6 months) sits at 28-29psi hot (205f) idle.
Pressure...
Expect a little less for a lot lot more money and an attempt to switch to American based manufacturers. This late switch may delay MY26.
So Wilwood to replace brembo, goodyear to replace pirreli/conti etc.
The vin number is a give away if it's a 24 or 25, if it's an R mid string its a 24, I guess it's s for 25's it'll also be the first digit on your chassis plaque.
But lack of wireless charger suggests 25. They removed a feature and upped the price nice
It's not for 'backing up' or 'reversing' it's to make you visible to other vehicles when visibility it limited due to fog. Also similar to the flashing rain lights in motorsport when the spray reduces visibility.
Think of it as the same as a tail light is for night time driving.
Would you...
Originally rrp (which nearly all of these would of been ordered at) was £65k ish, there was a few options like auto (£2k) recaro's (£2k) and various colours / appearance pack.
Ford have since upped the order price significantly and dealers have been more than happy to pass on the increase to...
Seems like not everyone had the patience to wait the best part of a year from order to delivery (for the cars just arriving) Crazy to think i ordered my car just over a year ago now!
As for the VED increase, it's not included in the price promise but my dealer did absorb the small increase last...
No sign of a recall on my uk car (and was built during the time frame, although the numbers effected are pretty much the number built during the time frame) and plenty listed for sale on autotrader at present unless you're price locked find a new dealer,
they're probably down on there EV quota...
When they said the dark horse was a sell out success and sold out in days, they really meant it was a scalpers dream.
That or dealers buying up the allocation for stock.
There are currently 32 brand new dark horses for sale on autotrader, majority of them in dealer stock.
That's over half the...
