What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Mike Pfeifer]

I will do another one tomorrow and report back. Maybe in the tech section. Or if there isn't already a thread I will start one on how to do custom start up videos. We all know you can change some using FORscan and have your GT running a GT500 start up for example (really?). But yes, I will put something together. Keep in mind, this involves "jail breaking" your Sync 3 device, but this has been discussed already a while back starting in December 2021 in the "custom background" thread.

I have already jailbroken my Sync 3, so that part is done. I changed out the theme to one that is red. Was thinking about doing the newer transparent one and loading a bunch of custom backgrounds, just haven’t gotten around to it yet. I did use ForScan to change the start up animation to the Ford Performance one, but it has the snake logo, which I don’t want (it does not actually say Shelby though). I really enjoy doing artsy stuff like messing with video editing and whatnot, so I’m pretty interested in trying to make something cool.

Interesting…I’m running 285/35-19 +40ET without any rubbing. Wonder if something else is not quite to spec somewhere?

What tires outta curiosity?

I never had the problem with the Indys with same spec'd wheels. Although last time I had them on it was with stock suspension and alignment.

I'm surprised LMR sells the setup as a package and I haven't heard similar complaints.

My setup isn't extreme in any way. Just .5" drop and camber set at like -1.75 (I think) The alignment sheet is somewhere. I'm sure I'll find it in the last place I look.

Sold mine a few months back for more than I paid and I regret it . I’m Trying to get back into one now. The prices for used are still crazy around me

I’m running the MPS4S all stock. I didn’t realize you were lowered.

Mostly waiting on concrete to cure.
Pour happens friday and 3 or 4 weeks before the concrete is honestly cured. I know 2 weeks is what most say its good but it will continue to get stronger.

I did one that was 120'X10' back in early 2020. I left he cars off for 14 days, wasn't gonna do any longer just because they were on street in dwtn and I wasn't having that.

Removed the active grill shutters and installed the Mishimoto oil cooler kit on my 2018 GT. Next track day is this Saturday at Eagles Canyon Raceway in Decatur, TX!

I'm interested to see what you come up with Mike. Maybe you could make your own non-vehicle-specific Ford Performance animation?

Had some fun with an actually "cool looking, lowered Tesla, sort of a sports car type of thing" on the Interstate (not much traffic west of Fort Lauderdale on I-75, 4-5 lanes, and everyone kept it safe).

And?

And?

It seemed like no one could get away really. I let him lead and vice versa. But the acceleration those Teslas are able to put down is quite something
Another Mustang tried to join but he couldn't keep up thank god. 2 racers are enough. Again, there wasn't much traffic and we had 5 lanes. Fun stuff!

The Roadster's 0 to 97 km/h (0 to 60 mph) acceleration time is 3.9 seconds for the Standard model and 3.7 seconds for the 2010 V2.5 Sport, which Motor Trend confirmed in the first independent, instrumented testing of the V2.5 Sport model. The magazine also recorded a 0-to-1⁄4-mile (0.00 to 0.40 km) time of 12.6 seconds at 165.1 km/h (102.6 mph).

That's exactly what I'm thinking. Just need to find the time between my other 7000 projects and hobbies! Maybe I'll see what I can come up with this weekend sometime. I assume there is a specific video length requirement as well as resolution and aspect ratio. At some point it shows a still frame, not sure how that plays in.

I hear ya. Life gets in the way of doing the fun stuff.
I would try and keep the video length to the same as the Ford ones. Although @Gnatsum21 video looks to be much longer. I would imagine the still frame is just video with the same frames repeating.

Last one!
UNFORTUNATELY, Sync 3 DOES NOT support audio in the start up files (DoorIN.ani and DoorLOOP.ani)
Too bad so sad, but I thought some of you might enjoy this
Using this in my Mustang now. One day I will create the "how to do it" thread, promise.

What is the length (mm:ss) of the factory animation? And is DoorLOOP.ani the still frame?

I think its max 20 seconds, I keep it at 18 seconds. I believe if you make it shorter it will exit out earlier, I think 10 seconds is factory length. You need to fiddle with it. I am not sure what is what, DOOR or IN, I save both with accordingly, when I shut off the engine the good old Pony goodbye splash screen comes up, what is ok with me.
Both files for "ford-MY20" live here (Sync 3):
/fs/mp/usr/share/anim/6
You need a USB stick and Linux code to delete/copy/overwrite whatever you prefer to get them there, plus the mp4ani converter, its on Fmods.net
