Based on my research this is not correct. I too thought for a while that D = Auto and S = Manual mode. According to several owners this is NOT the case. D and S just determine how aggressively the transmission shifts when shifting automatically. With the shifter in either of these positions...
I went to the Washington Autoshow this past weekend, and I noticed something I thought was interesting. The interior of the Mustang is often a topic of great focus. I agree with the sentiment that the outgoing model had a somewhat poor interior and that the new model is vastly improved. I...
I saw one on the interstate for the first time. I'm not gonna lie, I punched it in my stupid little Corolla so I could gawk at it. They guy saw me staring in the adjacent lane and looked at me. I gave him a thumbs up.
You can see the Mustang related pictures below, and all of my pictures from today at my imgur site. Most of the pictures aren't very good. I just snapped them so I could remember (and have proof of) what was at the show.

Trip Report
Hey Stonehauler,
The Washington Autoshow was great this year. It was somewhat crowded, which is typical if you go in the middle of the afternoon on Saturday. I was still able to enjoy it, but it did mean waiting for other people to get into popular cars. It was still very...
Hey Stonehauler, I've been to the Washington Auto show 3 years in a row. I'm planning on going again tomorrow! I've never been to Chicago or Philly show; I can't compare it to those. However, I can say that I have really enjoyed the Washington show. I've been to some smaller local ones in...
I'm in Baltimore, and I've only seen one in the wild. There are 6 or more on the lots at the dealerships I've passed by. They seem to still be rare around here. I expect to see a lot more this spring and summer.
I don't have a S550 yet, and I wouldn't likely have one by the time this happened. I would love to meet anyway. It would be fun to just talk to fellow enthusiasts, and of course see what you guys have done to your rides.
The Monday and Friday thing is a farce in that it assumes that the entire car was built in one day. I highly highly doubt that any of the cars built will not have components and portions that were built on Mondays and Fridays. Just because your car has a build date on a Tuesday doesn't mean...
OP, I've noticed this too. Dealer here in Baltimore had 3 GT's and an Ecoboost. Ecoboost sold within a few days, but those GT's haven't moved since I saw them there about three weeks ago.
I like the idea of the ST, but I agree that this isn't what I'd want it to look like. Way too much copy paste from the Focus. It would be cool if it said ST in the GT font on the back rather than borrow the font from the focus. I like the idea of a center exhaust, but it needs to have its own...
OH MAN! That is an awesome story, and wow is that car beautiful!!!! Thank you for sharing. It is really nice to hear a good story in the midst of so many bad dealer stories. Thanks for sharing. Your story made me grin, and your picture made me drool. :D
So true! :lol:
I guess it is no different than girls with straight hair curling it and girls with curly hair straightening it. People always seem to want it the other way.
I am also considering an automatic. I would like to add to Tcnarber's questions. Just how responsive are they? Is there a lot of delay from when you hit them to when they shift? I would really like to hear from owners about their experience using them.
"Upscale BRZ." Wow, that is impressive. I find it hard to believe that the car handles that well given what a lot of the other reviews have said. I feel like there is a very mixed bag of impressions when it comes to the ecoboost. I hope you guys are right though. I really want this car to be...
