What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Fatguy]

When you say "People..." are you referring to passengers..?

Like people beside the car or on the sidewalk. I was in a truck when the Ecoboost did it’s thing and I thought it was a 5.0. I was impressed! It was a convertible.

[ame] is it this weird stuff?

 

[Fatguy]

As another car I was duped but I want to know if the driver feels better even if he knows it’s fake. If it’s an electric Mustang you could argue actual Mustang sounds to go with the explosive acceleration would be fun. But I would only match the sounds with the actual model/brand of car.


Well off I go...

Where does the V8 sound come from..? Speakers in the car, or do you mount a speaker in the engine bay to fool people.

Also, are you saying you have heard this before, and was fooled by a turbo-6 into thinking it was a normally asperated v8...?

Applied some high temp decals to my coil covers.

Very nice!

They come from speakers and I would put them outside the car. One of the complaints about electric cars is blind people and animals getting hit because of lack of noise and maybe inattentive people. Adding signature sound takes care of that.

The verdict is that I would definitely add the sound to the inside and outside of a totally electric car. I’m sure it’s aleady being developed. In my V6 I played it during a pull and it sort of worked but then the tranny downshifted to 4 grand and I heard the real engine noise and preferred that. I have no idea if it is preferable on the Ecoboost. Something for you guys to do on your own if you are so inclined. But on a noiseless car I would add this in definitely.

GT350 center dash gauges.

Goodbye useless vacuum gauge, hello useful oil temp gauge. :cheers:

Great idea. I track mine and can use the gauge on the dash rather than the one in the digital display. Is this a Ford Racing product?

The GT350 gauges are just regular parts. I got mine for under $200 from Levitown over a year ago. They are plug and play in a GT PP at least 2015-17. I ended up selling mine for what I paid still in the box because they don't include MyColor.


Be aware, the oil temps are simulated just like the one in the DIC. There is no oil temperature sensor in the cars. So an algorithm calculates what the oil temperature should be based on other factors the car does know, such as air temps, water temps, time running, etc..

A couple parts arrived today!

wot is it?

 

[Chef jpd]

My guess is California Special side window frames.

 

[Blue Moon]

^ … and headlight switch trim.

Frames for canard wings. Not sure how long they'll last after install, though.
