    Watch out for deer on I 15.
  2. 87 Octane

    You are right and I should have realized this because I live in Albuquerque where the gas is one or two octane less than at sea level (86 octane regular and 91 premium).
  3. 87 Octane

    Higher octane gas only becomes an issue when approaching wide open throttle. At partial throttle the engine does not approach the maximum compression ratio and pre-ignition is not likely.
  4. Interesting data...Mustang sales volume's since 1964...

    Are these model year or calendar year sales?
  5. Noob Octane question

    If you want to obtain 93 octane you can mix 54% 87 octane with 46% 100 octane. All refiners refine only two octane grades, one high and one low and then mix them in proportion to obtain the various octane grades.
  6. forgive my dumbness

    I think the cap less fuel fill is one of Ford's best innovations in recent years. No taking the cap on and off and possibly hit the fender and dripping gas.
  7. Pushrods vs DOHC

    Another advantage of OHC engines is that with multiple intake and exhaust valves the geometry of the head can be better optimized for both volumetrically efficient and position of the spark plug.
  8. What is the S550?

    The original definition of a muscle car in the 60's was an intermediate size car (Chevelle, Fairlane, Coronet) with a big V8. The original pony cars were based on he small car chassis (Chevy II, Falcon, Dart) with smaller V8 engines and some attempt at improved handling and braking. On this...
  9. Well, it lasted 77 days!

    I had a stone impact on the windshield of my Porsche leave a star fracture about 1.5 inch in diameter. As soon as I noticed the fracture I had a windshield repair come out and try to fix it. They injected cement into the fracture and although it was still slightly noticeable, the fracture has...
  10. Did the GM bailout have any effect on your decision to purchase a Ford?

    Statistics prove that the Pinto was no more prone to fires than any other car in its class. The supposed design flaw was invented by lawyers.

  13. 2015 Porsche Cayman base vs 2015 Mustang GT PP

    I currently own a 2010 Cayman S and a 2015 GT with PP. The performance specs on the cars are very close. In driving both cars over the same roads I would give the edge to the Mustang in terms of steering and brake feel. The body stiffness is similar. In terms of fit and finish the Cayman is far...
  14. It looks like I'm a statistic now

    Your car is identical to mine. What was you price "out the door" including tax, title, any dealer added items and trade in?
  15. Materials, Fit and Finish compared to the S197 ?

    Comparing my 2008 Bullitt s197 to my 2015 GT s550, the fit of the sheet metal is not quite as good on the s550. I think this partly a result of the sharp creases on the s550 providing reference points that require sub millimeter tolerances. The interior fit and finish is vastly improved on the s550.
  16. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    Checked body sheet metal with magnet. Front fenders are aluminum.
  17. How many miles were on your brand new Mustang when you were handed the keys?

    54; Sticker on window said car had been randomly selected for testing at Flat Rock.
  18. Why delete the spoiler?

    I feel the spoiler detracts from the car's look. The spoiler also adds to aerodynamic drag and weight.

  20. Shipping weight on invoice

    I noticed on the invoice for my car the shipping weight was listed as 3606 pounds. My car is a base GT with the performance pack as the only option. Car and Driver lists the curb weight of the GT they tested as 3810 pounds. The CD test car was a premium with many options I do not have on my...
