  1. Sports mode every day?

    I love using engine braking, especially on the curvy country roads I live around. It's fun being in the power band when coming out of a sweeping apex too. So fun. In drive it will upshift before I even exit the turn. So I am in sport a lot until I get to the long stretches of freeway, and...
  2. 2021 MUSTANG (S650) - 7th Generation Mustang Confirmed

    The V8 needs to be NA. I personally never cared for turbos or super chargers on anything, no matter the power output. With the S550 I firmly believe the mustang team set its sights to move away from the 'Murcia yeeehaw image(will take some time) and find its place, at least in spirit, beside...
  3. 2021 MUSTANG (S650) - 7th Generation Mustang Confirmed

    I really don't know why everyone has a hard on for the end of the V8, whether they want to see it gone or are afraid of it. The Coyote left direct injection on the table for one. Displacement on demand, despite everyone hating it. Here's an idea, go smaller displacement with similar output. My...
  4. The Nissan Z

    This would be the second scenario: The V6TT engine from big sister the GTR. If I had the money, believe me, a Z would be in my garage for sure. Only mod I would do is swap the "370Z" tag on the back for a "Fairlady Z" from Japan. I absolutely love the car as it is.
  5. The Nissan Z

    Yes. I shopped for a Z a year before the 2015 Mustang came out, and ultimately it was the fact that for 32-35K I could have a Mustang GT. It would be cheaper to insure and it would be cheaper to maintain. Things like a staggered wheel set up shied me away from the Z even though I absolutely love...
  6. Rice+LS1 V8= Interesting

    It's a shame the I6 has all but vanished. Cylinders in a line, inherently balanced. As nature intended, if nature was an engineer.
  7. Rice+LS1 V8= Interesting

    The LS1 is dropped into a lot of unlikely candidates for a reason. Remember, in some RX7s, the swap actually made the car lighter and more balanced. It's a compact, light V8 engine that has a universe of mod options to throw at it. I'd be willing to bet the FRS feels just the same after the...
  8. '17MY Lincoln MKZ

    When I saw this, I wasn't necessarily impressed. I thought a few things though: Fusion ST It's nice that the Lincoln revival attempt is starting Now do a S550 Lincoln next please. The car is clean and elegant, I'll give it that. IT does have similarities with a few of the other luxury...
  9. The Nissan Z

    A friend and I had a discussion recently about the future of the Z. In its current form, it started waaaaaay back in 2003 (Christ, it doesn't feel all that long ago) and is in dire need of a "refresh" or "reboot". Not so much the styling or its performance, but in that its market segment is...
  10. GT Owners worried about the SS, remember this...

    I went to look at the Camaro personally today. I walked away with a sense that even if I waited, I probably would have picked the Mustang still. It seems during my lifetime, Mustang vs Camaro has always been performance vs livability. Mustangs always seemed to be more practical and livable and...
  11. Last 30 minutes fuel mileage bar chart?

    Yeah my first few weeks with the car I noticed the consistency and took to the web to see if it was common. I read one article that talked to someone from a manufacturer which name eludes me at the moment. He said something about the reading coming from the injectors or to that effect. I guess...
  12. Last 30 minutes fuel mileage bar chart?

    It is a good way to keep your mind on driving habits, however, I am unsure how the computer calculates MPG because ever since I bought my GT in May, it's been wrong. Every fill up I take millage driven from my trip meter (I reset it at every fill up) then divide it by what was just put in. I...
  13. Cincinnati area shops

    Hey guys. I've dug around the web but can't seem to find a shop to help me with getting my Mustang lowered, stiffer, and lighter. I'm getting very serious about the few things I decided I want to do, but would really like to talk to a shop in helping me finalize my decisions and get the work...
  14. How to turn on backup camera delay?

    I think the idea is to not turn off the camera view prematurely. I'm a very meticulous parker and I saw back and forth a few times. It's very annoying when I need to pull forward some, then reverse again, but have to wait for the screen to flip back to the camera image once more. I think the...
  15. Tailoring my GT to my tastes

    My mistake. I thought the two components above the lower sway bar were coil overs. I browsed the Steeda site before a few times, and now again from your link. I have somewhat of a loose understanding of suspension factors (rebound/compression). Would something more simpler like lowering springs...
  16. Tailoring my GT to my tastes

    I love my GT, however, there's a few things about it that I would like to tweak to make it fit more of my style. I live in the sticks 30 minutes east of Cincinnati, Ohio. Out here we have some wonderfully curved roads that I can never resist taking them much faster than I probably should. I'm a...
  17. 2.0 Camaro v. 2.3 Mustang

    Isn't the key here using premium for the 2.3L Mustang to get the 300hp mark? I believe it loses significant power when running on 87. I saw nothing about the 2.0L Camaro's numbers being on premium gas. I don't like much about the new Camaro, but the one thing I think GM got so right was the...
  18. How old are S550 owners? What cars have you owned so far?

    I've used this name online since half past forever it feels like. I use it pretty much everywhere I go online. It wasn't beyond me the absurdity of using the user name here, but overall I found it kind of funny and it sort of fits my sense of humor. Since I was 18 I had the 2001, but I swore...
  19. How old are S550 owners? What cars have you owned so far?

    32 2001 Mustang 2015 Mustang GT Mustangs till I'm gone is my plan.
  20. s550 Therapy

    I'm still daily driving my 2001 V6 to work since it's about 80 miles round trip. Every day I get home I pass my GT. I make sure to stop, look at it, open the door and breathe in the new car smell to remind myself that I own a 2015 Mustang GT, and it makes me feel good. One day it will be my...
