  1. What is your carvana sell offer for your Gt?

    I got a quote from Varoom about 6 weeks ago on my 2015 Ecoboost premium performance pack, 201A and Navigation. 56,000 miles at 22,300.00 I just ran another one from Varoom today and it was 17,307.00 a 5,000 loss in 6 weeks! Is Varoom cutting back because they anticipate a crash of used car...
  2. What is it like driving '65 - '73 Mustang and how does it compare to a S550??

    I took a ride in my friends 1963 Ford Galaxy 500 427/425 4 speed convertible last summer ( he sadly passed from Covid 2 months ago). He had just put $100.00 of racing fuel in it and we went for a ride with the top down. Would love to own the car, red with red interior. Power was not all that...
  3. 1987 Buick Grand National vs 2018 gt

    That will be an interesting race! Almost all of the GN's I saw racing stock went mid to high 13's. We raced at Quaker City Drag strip in Salem , Ohio. It's called Quaker the Breaker because it goes up hill near the end of the quarter mile. It's about 2 tenths slower than it should be. My 84...
  4. 1987 Buick Grand National vs 2018 gt

    I owned a couple of GN's and swapped an 87 GN drivetrain into a 1984 Montecarlo SS. With just a chip change the Monte ran mid 13's. Added a TA-61 turbo,bigger injectors Red Armstrong chip and ATR exhaust and with stock tires it ran easy mid 12's at 108 with 93 Octane. Add slicks and racing fuel...
  5. Highest mileage and longest period with original evaporator core?

    2015 Premium PP with 48,500 miles. no problems yet. Have 60,000 Ford bumper to bumper warranty, Not sure what I am going to do near the end of the warrenty
  6. Cloth Interior vs Leather

    34000 miles on 2015 Premium, left side of drivers seat has very bad wear from getting in and out of car. Ford will not cover! My daughter has a 2011 Toyota with 156000 miles and the leather seats look great! Wish I could have gotten cloth with the Premium, no more Ford cheap leather for me...
  7. Horrible front tire wear! Is PP the problem?

    Thanks for your help Tom, I know nothing about the front end suspension! I probably will not get anything more done as I am thinking about trading for a new Mustang. Hope they got the A/C evaporator problem solved in the 2019's! Not happy about the trade in value, but a lot of the problem with...
  8. Horrible front tire wear! Is PP the problem?

    Got back from alignment shop. Owner (who did the alignment) said everything was on spec. He said if you want to play you have to pay! Camber on performance package is set for handling, not tire longevity. He added a little toe in to help off set the camber which he could not change. He said that...
  9. Horrible front tire wear! Is PP the problem?

    Thanks guys, I have an appointment Friday at 1:30 with the best alignment shop in the area. They think the camber is off!
  10. Horrible front tire wear! Is PP the problem?

    I have a 2015 Ecoboost Premium with PP. Just replaced the A/S Continentals with Firestone Firehawk 500's. The Continentals looked like they had half the thread left, but when I looked at the inside tread of the front tires, the cord was showing on the very edge of the inside of both front tires...
  11. Ecoboost

    I get about 25 MPG around town and as high as 33 on a long trip (checked, not trusting the gauge). The kicker is you have to use PREMIUM gas (I have the FP tune). Believe it or not, the cost per month between the 2012 GT auto I owned and the 2015 Ecoboost auto premium PP is almost the same. 87...
  12. How bad did ford Sandbag the Ecoboost?

    I had a 2012 GT Auto premium and ran mostly regular. Tried premium and not a noticable difference. I now have a 2015 Mustang Ecoboost auto premium PP. Have to run Premium or it falls on its face. I went to FP now I have to run premium. I keep very good track of my mileage and the GT averaged...
  13. Mishimoto intercooler and Accessport

    Intercooler Is it still available?
  14. Comparing EB with 2012 GT

    I owned a 2010 GT stick with 3.73 gears, a 2012 GT auto both stock and now a 2015 Ecoboost auto Premium with PP option. The 2015 stock would definitely pull on the 2010. I added the FP tune in April and now it is no contest with the 2010. Much stronger on the bottom end and quicker on top. The...
  15. Have you blown an engine? If so, what rod (cylinder) failed?

    I will be 70 years old next year. I drove a ton of the 60's muscle cars, restored a 1966 Plymouth Belvedere ll Street Hemi auto and a 1967 Jaguar XKE Roadster. I have a 2015 Mustang Ecoboost Premium Auto with PP and FP tune. I also had a 2012 Mustang Premium auto GT. NONE of the stock 60's cars...
