I'm waiting before driving my beast on the freeway till my clear-bra is installed (next week). This is after an experience with my prior car where I got 2 large and long rock chips on the hood (that required a lot of touch up work) two days before my clear-bra installation.
Anyway, its...
Many months ago I posted about why I was switching to a Mustang after years of driving a BMW M6 (5L V10, 500HP, 3950 pounds). Prior to that I owned a highly modded Audi TT and have other European cars (non performance). Summary is here.

Wanted to see what owners think of their cars so equipped and get a chance to see some better images before making the plunge.

I'm also looking at the cowl hood stripe kit (in black - which they dont seem to have today)...
I recall some folks mentioning only the seat bottom was heated, however I'm pretty sure my seat back for the front seats are heated as well!
Can folks confirm this is the case.:) Also, can folks confirm activating the alarm (by locking the door with the FOB) does not lead to any flashing lights...

The series is old (4 years) but looks like the two key determinants to who won was 1) driver and 2) car setup (in the autoX HP was secondary). Seems like the Stang picked up the top honors (and this too a pre 2011 Stang GT) and the driver...
I realize I covered this in the Handling Thread, but its worth a separate call out. I wonder if the aftermarket will match this - if the price is right I will def consider side exhaust. Thought I'd flag it for the community. Cheers,

After you've received the car and driven it (and deemed its handling is not upto snuff for the purposes you value) - it seems Ford *may* have some updates available for handling via their FRPP catalog. The nice thing is those will be OEM tuned so I would imagine there is qualitative and...
Hey guys,
Just changed my order from the leather Recaros to the GT Premium 68B seats. Owner reviews seem to indicate the leather is really soft and quality feeling - but, it seems that this photo shows a ton of premature wear and bunching.
Any very early impressions from owners on the leather...
I believe the color is charcoal while the 50th anniversary is ebony.
Do we have photos of these premium accent seats from different angles, esp in this color?
I'm seriously considering dropping the Recaros from my order based on early delivery feedback from other members (positive reviews of...
I'm getting the new GT but am curious, is the new EB faster/just as fast as the 2005-2010 GT in a straight line?
05-09, the V8 produced 300HP/320TQ, in 10 it was revised up to 315/325TQ.
2.3EB is 310/320TQ. Granted, I have not reviewed the power under the curve and gearing/weight of course...
Not everyone has the good fortune, desire or ability of welcoming the all new 2015 S550 in their stable :D - for those who are waiting, I was thinking about potential updates/changes to the car in 16 and more likely 17/18. Here's what I got in no particular order, feel free to add or comment...
I sat in a 2014 with the Shaker system. Coming from some fine audio in European cars (and being a moderate audiophile, not terribly discerning) I felt the Shaker sucked. Too much boominess and not enough clarity - the sound was muddled and warm (analogy is some of the Beats headphones).
I'm...
I was chatting with a few buddies who were talking about increasing the rear tire width on their cars (M3, FR-S). I also just noticed a thread here about the largest width possible on the S550.
Having messed around with larger configurations and driven cars with wide/ultrawides, I find myself...
A friend who has a Boss 302 and loves it says the one thing he wishes he could change is the steering speed (his car has a lot of suspension work). The steering is a lot of work at Auto-X (he is very competitive in SCCA) and is significantly more slow compared to his STI (the steering, not his...
Hey guys,
I've seen a ton of comparison posts but nothing with its arch nemesis the 1LE. It's a pretty devastating track monster with great reviews - all the Camaro issues remain including massive size and weight, poor visibility, terrible interior etc, but no doubt it's a performance monster...
Wanted to let folks know I pinged Ford service to see why my Recaros were not showing up. It turns out there are issues on the cotusb site and the build tool. In their order banks, they are seeing the Recaros and the rest of the order show up (including the mysterious 68b package I ordered)...
I recall reading somewhere that TY was going to be offered for a limited period. Do we know if this means a year or longer? Depending on the time horizon, pretty much any color other than flat black/white/silver/red would be a 'limited run':-) I also noticed that with prior Mustangs yellow seems...
Any S197'ers with glass roofs here on 6g who are trading in/selling their cars for the upgrade to the S550? If so, how do you guys feel about the 15's not offering a glass roof. Honestly, having sat in a new 14 two weeks ago with one - I'll say that its the only feature I can see causing me...
