  1. Does your Mustang's seat lumbar support suck?

    Mine works great too, I just hate it lol. Anyone installed the Recaros in a convertible?
  2. Does your Mustang's seat lumbar support suck?

    Unfortunately looks like the Recaros for sale all say “warning -Does NOT fit convertibles” lol.
  3. Does your Mustang's seat lumbar support suck?

    I noticed it at some point on a long (round the country trip) taken not too long after I bought it. It killed my back, still does -- although I basically got to where I was ignoring it because I'm commuting in it (which just means I forget why my back hurts lol). I had them warranty repair the...
  4. Looking at a 17 GT with 727hp Roush Phase 2

    I've got 3.31's in the car. I also agree, you won't miss the extra 50hp on the street. I barely noticed it when they flashed it from 620 to 670 (from when Roush and Ford had limited the non Roush branded cars) since this is a convertible with street tires that doesn't see the track.
  5. Looking at a 17 GT with 727hp Roush Phase 2

    Roush does support their 1K$ warranty for the phase 1 supercharger, and you should get one if you buy the Roush Stage 3. I recently had 9K worth of work paid for by Roush (a new block / new cylinder head + labor) after about 12K miles on the supercharger. Compression was almost nil in one...
  6. Comparing your other or previous cars to your Mustang

    I traded in my Mercedes S65 for a Mustang, but mostly because that car cost 5K per year in maintenance. Otherwise I'd have kept it as I loved a 700HP/TQ family car with the luxury a top of the line S class has :) ...for similar cars, I have had 4 Corvettes, two of which I still have (a...
  7. How many members from Seattle zone

    I'm in Redmond.
  8. Question regarding roush certified dealers

    It was 10K for me at the dealer with a warranty. If you don't need the warranty it should be cheaper (have seen two people pay around 8K for it installed). Dealer install is going to have higher labor rates and/or charge more hours on average than a good shop. Phase 1 is a good match for a...
  9. Roush Axle Back Removed

    My daughter told me she can hear me all the way out of the neighborhood to the highway (and coming in), so yes -- they are loud :) ... my problem with them is that around 1.5-2K rpm there is a loud drone/resonance with the top up and windows up that isn't there at other ranges (or WOT). I much...
  10. What cars did you cross-shop before deciding on the Mustang?

    I cross shopped a few things: Porsche 911 Turbo -- Some day, but after I forget how bad German cars are. Porsche Panamera Turbo -- These fell to "well why not just get a Tesla". Hellcat -- Really wanted one of these. I couldn't find one to buy, and wasn't going to pay ADM (just buy it...
  11. Debating on a '10-12 GT500 or a '15-'16 Mustang GT

    Lease an S550 for 2 or 3 years and decide if it's for you. The GT500's will always be around to buy if you want one and will get cheaper in the meantime.
  12. At what horsepower?

    No traction in 1st or 2nd (and to some extend 3rd) with the stock tires when pushing it. Rolling on the throttle works OK. I'm not going DR route when replacing them though since I don't want to make the handling any worse.
  13. The Sound of Power

    The Roush TVS S/C whine is barely noticeable with the sounds the Roush exhaust makes until it gets above 4K (going to WOT) where it blends nicely with the other screaming noises. :)
  14. Must Have Options

    Performance Pack and then use savings to swap in a good manual transmission. Premium package 401a Rear Backup Adaptive Cruise (love this in real traffic) Security package 3.73/3.55 gears if you stay N/A, 3.15 if you plan to do forced induction at some point. ... ... Ford Racing Performance Pack...
