Waste of money is entirely personal. Mods are most certainly NOT an investment however. Mods will either not change the value of your car OR actually lower the value of your car.
As long as you don't spend money on mods expecting to get it back, then it's just a matter of if the increased...
I would highly doubt it. The brakes on these cars should be significantly larger than a sonata and I would worry about caliper clearance. Just buy the spare kit for the mustang - it's like $175 from ford accessories. Or better yet, make it contingent on the sale. The salesman will definitely...
IMO mustang is a GT car, the back seat is so you can put bags back there that can be easily accessed while driving. It's a luggage shelf, not a seat. :)
The actual trunk cavity normally carries my backpack.
Other items (all stored under the Loyd trunk mat) include my spare and jack (freaking $175 - stupid, but the spare is alloy, rad!) small socket set, small box-end wrench set, gore-tex parka, adjustable wrench, adjustable pliers...
Okay come on now this is just silly. Laws are sweeping, illogical and put in place for motives other than safety. Example: twisty road with a 35 mph limit and no roads or driveways merging on. This otherwise twisty road has a .5 mile straight with great visibility in all directions. If the law...
This is fiction: I also typically go into work at about 5:30 AM. Have a 80 mile round trip commute every day. I think the thing I enjoy the most is when someone is driving ungraciously in the left lane of the highway and I have to accelerate back up to appropriate speeds to safely pass them...
Wait, so you want a V6 Mustang with a bunch of dress up stuff but no performance improvement? I thought this was going to be a Ecoboost V6 discussion. :(
Haha didn't have much time to look down. I think the fastest i hit on the straight was about 100mph. And carrying about 80mph through the 14-15 section.
Regarding tire squeal, all seasons are a bitch, especially the 235s that the non-PP car comes with.
The primary camera is a cheap G1W-H...
Yep SCCA track night. Great event run very professionally and with a focus on getting people as much track time as possible.
Yes I'm definitely planning on bigger wheels and tires with a more aggressive compound. Along with racing pads and throw-away rotors.
It really wasn't a track alignment, more a general performance alignment. The specs follow:
Front Camber: -1.7 degrees
Rear Camber: -1.0 degrees
Front toe: +0.04 degrees
Rear toe: +0.03 degrees
Front caster: +7.5 degrees
Aside from making the toe a bit closer to zero, the only thing...
Had my first track day (period) in the 2015 Mustang GT and I couldn't have been more surprised with how well this car handled itself.

The new mustang (like almost every street car) is set up for understeer from the factory as this is safer for untrained drivers than oversteer. I recently had Gran Turismo East do a custom alignment and they found -1.1 degrees average front camber and -1.8 degrees of rear camber. A heavily...
I believe the appropriate term at this point would be, "Haters gon' hate!"
Some people don't like induction noise, some do, this is for the folks who like to hear induction noise.
I know this mod was somewhat popular on the 11-14 mustangs, well Ford made pulling the sound tube to pluck the foam quite a bit more difficult on the new 2015. After fighting the damn thing for an hour and finally figuring it out, I thought I'd make a video to save ya'll some time.

A ten speed trans is better than a 6 speed trans if its shifts are significantly faster than the current auto. If this 10 speed trans is as slow as the current auto, this would be a nightmare. I'd note that Ford has not been all that successful in their dual-clutch systems thus far (fiesta &...
Off topic, but my stepdad was a tech and he would sometimes keep a small bolt or nut with him and just drop it in the passenger footwell of his buddies cars when they went to lunch. Then have a laugh later when he'd see his buddy scratching his head and peeking around under the dash for where...
RDforum.org is the place to go for this type of knowledge. The V1 is a far superior performer to the Max 2 or M4-based units like the 9500ix. However many people do not want ultimate performance, they would prefer to set it and forget it. I prefer to have the best tool, even if it means me...
