  1. How often do you have passengers in the backseat?

    Unfortunately it's actually easier to get a 40+ year old mustang lubricated and up to operating temperature than it is to do the same with a 40+ year old person
  2. How often do you have passengers in the backseat?

    I think Ford should bring back the falcon and make it basically a 4-door mustang that crushes the sales of chargers. But let me make this clear: By no means call it a mustang! A 4-door car is NOT a mustang! Ford botched the mach-e by trying to live in the mustang's shadow and it failed...
  3. Pros and Cons of a convertible

    That's exactly why I don't get a motorcycle. It's not that I don't trust my driving, it's that I dont trust everyone else's. I knew multiple people with motorcycles who died during their college years by getting hit by other cars, likely drivers not paying attention. Nothing they could have done...
  4. Pros and Cons of a convertible

    Agree that the convertible doesn't make sense as a primary car for a family. I have two kids, and fitting both in the back seat (with child car seats) would require me to scoot my driver's seat all the way up to where my knees touch the steering wheel. For one kid on the passenger side and with...
  5. S650 Convertible 810HP Build - Looking for Technical Feedback

    Steeda’s Stop the Hop Kit is not a single, unique part, rather a pre-packaged marketing bundle of several different rear suspension components sold under one part number. It is strictly listed as "Coupe Only" because every single tier of that kit includes the Steeda IRS Subframe Support...
  6. What breaks first

    Depends how you drive. The GT was built for factory hp and torque, not boosted hp and torque. The previous generations' failure points under boost will be the same as the S650. The axles as others have mentioned (preventable with upgraded axles). The chassis can twist as we saw happen with...
  7. S650 Convertible 810HP Build - Looking for Technical Feedback

    Plan on supercharging my GT convertible too. Phase 1 (done): Steeda G-Trac K-Brace + Jacking Rails + Billet Vertical Links + IRS Bushing Support + IRS subframe alignment kit Here is the breakdown of the Steeda hardware I went with and the reasoning behind it: IRS Subframe Alignment Kit &...
  8. Pros and Cons of a convertible

    You think it's a con how it looks with the top up? I think it looks better with the top up than the fastback. I prefer the boxier look on general though, like the camaro and challenger, although it's all personal preference. I say leave the rounded parts for the European cars.
  9. Finally Picked It Up! Whipple Installed! Just Wow.

    Cats don't fail under daily driving with boost. If you're doing back-to-back pulls on a track, yes, you'll blow out the cats pretty quick. It all depends on how you drive.
  10. Do I need to upgrade GT rear brakes for Whipple install

    *IF* you anticipate ever having a situation where you are going 130mph and need to slam the brakes to avoid hitting something, and you already have the brembo brakes, yes, I recommend the Hawk Mustang GT PP HPS 5.0 Front Brake Pads and G-Loc Mustang GT PP/Dark Horse 4-Piston Brembo Calipers Rear...
  11. Audiophile System Build in 2026 Mustang

    Thanks for sharing, nice to know I'm not alone with it. Do you think loud sounds may have contributed to yours or do you think it was just bad luck?
  12. 2028 Camaro 7th gen approved! 🥊

    Lately I've been seeing more and more speculation that they're going to put the new 6.7L V8 (LS6) in it, which will crank out 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque. That's about 100 more torque than our beloved mustang, which is a lot more power under the curve. However, I expect the LS6 to be...
  13. The 2026 Mustang Dark Horse SC outputs 795 Horsepower

    It would of course be more expensive, but if history is a guide people will continue to pay more for better tech. Our S650's would become the C7's of the mustang world, but that's not a bad thing if you ask the C7 community. We could claim that the only REAL mustangs are front-engine RWD until...
  14. The 2026 Mustang Dark Horse SC outputs 795 Horsepower

    Dodge did it with their new charger six-pack and as a result it will beat a stock GT (and maybe even a supercharged coyote) to 60 mph and through the 1/8. Only past thst and beyond, when the mustang hooks up in 3rd gear will it pull away. If Chevy makes their new camaro AWD I don't think Ford...
  15. The 2026 Mustang Dark Horse SC outputs 795 Horsepower

    I’m seeing a lot of frustration today over the official numbers confirming the Dark Horse SC will make 795 HP rather than breaking the 800 HP mark. The reality is that adding more power to this specific platform wouldn't translate to meaningful performance gains from a dig. Here is the physical...
  16. Audiophile System Build in 2026 Mustang

    If you're using a big amp and subwoofers for pounding bass, keep the decibel measurements in mind with regard to what level causes hearing damage. I had friends in that space about 20 years ago, and myself had a system pumping out over 130 db in the cabin, and now not only do I have hearing...
  17. Making the S650 as capable or better than an SS 1le

    I did basically this same thing for my GT convertible, except the tires and plus jacking rails, and it makes a night-and-day difference. Car handles more like a German car now and less like a boat. It costed less than $3k total installed by Steeda in Valdosta. Totally worth it in my opinion to...
  18. What music do you like to blast while driving your Mustang?

    Added a couple more to my playlist. Was waiting till I found high quality digital versions to add them.
  19. Coyote/S650 Derangement Syndrome

    What some people really ought to be upset about is all the lead exposure that caused them to be so cranky now in their old age 🤣 Get off the internet and go touch some grass. Or go drive your mustang.
