What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[rum_punch_ruby]

Oooh nice. How did you do that? When I get mine I want to pillar mount it vs suction cup.

Filled up with Shell 93 octane for $2.58 per gallon. $20.00 is gas money again!

It's a big boat, but not quite as big as those cruise ships that normally would be in the background of a pic in that spot!

Shit man, remember when 5 bucks would get you to work for the week? Now I'm waiting on the old timers to come in with 25 cent gas stories.

I remember .26/gallon as a passenger with my mom. That was back when all pumps were full serve. The attendant always pulled the dip stick to let the driver see, then wash the windows, and had a change dispenser on his belt. Those were the days.

I'm not that old yet but I remember riding my artic cat mini bike to the gas station and filling it up for .60 cents one gal tank. This is right when CT started deposits/refunds on soda bottles. We would all go digging into our neighbors trash to fund our fuel needs.

Gas-price war in Los Angeles, early 1940s: One station went, "Eight gallons for a dollar!" Across the street: "Ha! Twelve for a dollar!" Seems to me the usual price was around twenty or twenty-five cents. That's about what it was when I started driving, IIRC. Of course we overestimated our mileage, and sometimes had to spend some late-night time draining the hoses at closed service stations, just to get home.

Same here brother.
If we didn't have snowy winters here, I would have ordered one a while ago.


*****edit:The Hellcat Charger as my daily driver.
Roush will continue to sit in the garage. lol

Looked at my budget spreadsheet and did a bunch of "what-if" scenarios to see how I can afford my car payments and everything else if I am out of work. Thank you Covid19. Scrapped all my upgrade plans for now.

Samesies... been doing day trading to try and make up income.

I should be ok. But things are going to be tight if it goes beyond a month.
Good luck to you turning profits in this market. Yikes. My investment losses are a combined 35% loss. Not touching anything now.

3/23/2020:

I installed the COBB Stage 1 ots tune as well as K&N drop in filter on my 18 Ecoboost AT today and took it to a test drive for about 25 minutes as well as to fill it up with 93 octane from a local Citigo fueling station.

My first impression of the COBB is good, I noticed that the car got up to speed limit pretty quickly even though I was babying the car for the first 15 minutes to get the oil temp in the normal range. After the car was warmed up I gave about 50% throttle and the car went from 60 to 80mph in just a little over 1 second.

The car with the tune is a lot smoother now especially with the shifting, butter smooth.

After filling up at the local fueling station, I drove about 2 miles before giving it full throttle and noticed the boost pressure peaked at 20.XX psi before dropping to 18-19 psi until I let off the accelerator (had to brake to slow down, got up to high speeds very quickly).

It was very hot today (IAT around 90F) in about 90F humid weather in central FL, I will visit the local quarter mile drag strip when it gets cold again later this year to see how the car does.

My car's current mods are (2018 Ecoboost Mustang 10A):

CVF street intercooler

COBB AP V3 stage 1 93 octane tune

K&N drop in filter (oiled).
