Interesting information about the transmission tune. I have a long, open onramp on my way to work that I can often accelerate hard as I'm heading up to the highway, and prior to the FP package being installed, the 4-5 shift would be so hard most of the time that I would be afraid that something...

I liked the blue color on that one listed, and was curious about where it came from, and if it was available in red, and I found both on ebay. Here's a link to the red one: 1:34 Ford Mustang GT 2018 Model Car Diecast Toy Vehicle Kid Gift Collection Red | eBay

Sorry, it's not always clear what all the settings are for different modes. The two drive modes I use are just normal, with the shifter set to D and the switch set to normal, and Sport +, which is the shifter set to S, and the switch set to Sport +. Maybe that's not the only combination for...

In traffic, I use normal, as it's just a little more mellow when hitting the gas or braking, and without traffic I prefer Sport +. I've got the auto, and have the Ford Racing tune, and I find it to be very responsive in that mode, and easy to drive on curvy roads, etc. I never use Sport, and...

I swear, I don't work for Motormax or Fairfield Collectables, I just get things like this coming up in my Facebook feed, and posting here if anyone is interested...

Like with anything else, it's all personal preference, but regarding the subject of this thread, the focus is on performance and sales, and while Mustangs offer good performance, once you get above $100K, there are some other performance cars to consider that may offer more, and I think that's...

I see the announcements and reviews of new performance cars, like the Dark Horse SC and the 'Vette's, and I have to admit that it gets me thinking about what it would be like to drive one of those. But then I get in my '18 and go for a spin and I am reminded how much fun it is, and as been...

I own the original Motormax version of this, and I assume it's the same but with some kind of new coating, but since I don't own it this isn't a recommendation, just letting everyone know about it in case you're interested (there may be other sources too, I haven't looked)...

Like you I had the full package put on my '18 GT with PP1, and I can't say whether the throttle body and intake alone made much of a difference, but I definitely noticed more low-end torque, and the transmission tune makes a big difference as well.

Very nice, love the color!

Like anywhere else, California has it's good and bad aspects. I moved here in '87, and it would take a lot to make me move. I really like the area where I live, as I have access to beaches in about 15 minutes, access to larger city things like sports and concerts, but am only about 20 minutes...

I didn't exactly get anything, but I did find this file and print it on my 3D printer...

Very true - there's something to be said for having a car that you've been the only or primary owner of, and know its condition, than taking a risk and buying something later that has an unknown history.

It's the classic manual vs. auto discussion, and for the most part it's just personal preference at this point. I had a manual '14 Mustang that had a version of the MT-82, and it was known for locking out shifts from time to time (it's been a while, so I can't recall the specifics now), so it's...
