Thanks for the comment, Steve! I have the standard final drive ratio (3.31:1). I'm guessing you have the 3.73:1 ratio with the GT PP. If so, that might explain part of the difference. In city driving, I typically shift around 2,200/2,500 RPM. That seems to help a lot with the mileage. Of course...

Thank you!

Good to hear from you. I agree with you ...I would also guess it's a heat shield. S/b something easy to fix. And, like you said, it doesn't last for long.

I'm glad you were able to avoid an accident! I know what you mean regarding notching shifting. Based on my experience over the past 40 years, it's not unusual for manuals to have notchy shifting depending on how cold it is. Yes, mine has some "notchiness" in very cold weather, but I didn't...

This is a photo of the seat repair I mentioned in my original post. The seat belt retainer strap attaches to the seat back via a magnet attached to the side of the seat back. There are two slots cut in the leather for the two magnet tabs to attach to. In my case, one of the tabs appear to not be...

I've attached a photo I snapped at the end of a Dallas to Austin round trip. The speed limit is 75 MPH most of the way and traffic usually exceeds that limit. And, if you know Austin traffic, then you won't be surprised when I say the trip includes some stop-n-go as well. I'm very pleased with...

The photos below were taken yesterday, Feb 7. It was sunny, 70-something degrees in Dallas. February weather just doesn't get better than that! The paint on my car is so glossy and deep that it looks like you could just swim in it. Really amazing paint job! . .

Thought I'd check in with my fellow Mustang6G friends at the 2,610 mark on the odometer and let you know how we're doing. In a word: Fantastic. I've only had one problem - the passenger seat. The magnetic button used by the leather seat belt retainer fell off from the seat back due to it either...

I didn't know there was an issue. Of course there's going to be some "garage racing" among car enthusiasts like, my car is faster than yours, or my car is better than yours, etc, but folks shouldn't get thin-skinned or defensive and take such talk personally. I do get the sense that some EB...

LOL. I have a neighbor like that who has a 4-cylinder Subaru-looking car and an after-market "coffee-can" muffler. It sounds like a damn lawn mower on steroids as he drives by at 5,000 RPM in the morning. If I gotta listen to loud, at least let it sound good. I'll trade neighbors with you.

I recall seeing 3 silvers (coupe and convertible), a Magnetic, a white, and a Ruby. Maybe the Magnetic one was you. If so, small world!

I've had my 2015 Mustang GT since late November and I had not seen any other 2015 Mustangs until last weekend. I live on the southwest side of Dallas County, Texas and you see a lot of Challengers, Chargers, 300s, and Camaros (and some G4/G5 Mustangs). Last weekend I drove through North Dallas...

Thank you! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed them!

The Washington Post also has the story titled "America’s best-selling cars and trucks are built on lies: The rise of fake engine noise". Isn't the media's use of the word "lies" a bit like the pot calling the kettle black? As I posted here on Sep 28, 2014: "The issue of the 2015 EcoBoost...

Thanks!

You're very welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed! Thank you for the comment!

Thank you! I like the 19" wheels that come with the 50th anniversary pkg. It may be that the lighting made them look brighter than they really are. You'd probably have to look at one yourself to decide if they're right for you.

Very cool! After some more thought, I think the best-looking Fox Body that I owned was the 1982 model. I've attached a few photos of this car below (note, these are scans of 35mm transparencies and, for some reason, the scanner had trouble with the red accent stripe). Thanks! Yeah, some...

Thank you and you're very welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed the photos! Very cool that your signature photo was used by Ford! Yes, I have more photos of all the cars when they were new. I'll update this post as time permits in the next few days.

You're very welcome! I've actually tried to buy a couple of Camaros but they wouldn't deal. I have a soft spot for Mustangs because it was my first car and I had such a good experience with it. The older I get, the younger they make me feel every time I get behind the wheel. Congrats on your...
