The Scariest Thing About The Hellcat Is The Third Owner
...
But after eight or nine years, the second owner is ready to move on. And that’s when he unleashes the terror of the Hellcat on our society: he...
when I was car shopping, I was intrigued that the F150 has an option for Electronic Locking Diff, and that's how I would prefer things. Open diff most of the time, locking diff as needed. Rather than a full time LSD / Torsen.
one my concerns with my new car is that if / when it needs...

Major, High-Tech Changes Proposed For America's 5-Star Crash Safety Tests
... How about visibility gets factored in, for once? Is that too much to ask? The Camaro basically has a mail slot for visibility...
there are few postings here where people's cars get stuck at dealerships for long periods of time. How many dealerships out there are simply swamped / backlogged? Can warranty repairs handled by independent mechanics and then somehow expensed back to Ford? This is probably a question for...
my car is new, so I am not pushing it too hard. But it feels powerful, relative to my old car, and makes a reasonably decent rumble, so I got to testing out the Track Apps, 0-60 timer.
I would spin up the 5.0 up to 4500 RPM before making a (soft) shift, and I was averaged around 10 seconds...
I skipped on the PP so my car has the 4-piston brakes and "skinny" All-seasons. But I would like to see data on the stopping power of the various configs relative to temperature.
60->0 times at 60F, 50F, 40F, 30F ?
6-piston Brembos + wide summer tires

Just some numbers I scraped together, that may or may not be accurate. Sorted by torque ratings
When I was car shopping, I was interested in V8 Manual. Ford seemed to have the better engine, where as Dodge the better Transmission. And there is a number of postings of MT82 problems, albeit...

Body Shop put 200+ Miles on my GT
As an extension of these two threads, it would be really cool if Ford could update MyKey to include RPM limits, such as 3000 RPM. Anyone know the best way to contact Ford and submit such a request? I suspect this is...
my old car was a boring car and I didn't give it a second thought dropping it off for maintenance, repair, inspections, etc. However, with this car, I am a little concerned that service technicians will have a bit of "fun" with it before calling to tell me its ready. Automatics are by nature...
new 2016 Mustang GT, manual transmission, with 95 miles, most of which are mine, and I will neither confirm nor deny "spirited" driving so far
what's the verdict on break-in?
I am an easy off the line sort of driver and a slow shifter, but I will want to run the engine to 5000-5500 RPMs, at...
Adaptive Cruise Control / Forward Collision Warning
Are these features worthwhile? How about with a manual transmission? Mustang is one of the few cars that this can be had with a manual. Most car manufactures force you into an Auto, or worse, a CVT to get this. I am guessing that a manual...
I am still seeing some negative commentary on the Mustang manual transmission. What's the verdict with the S550?
Many moons ago, I bought an F150 with manual transmission. The manual was fine for my purposes, but I was disappointed to find that it had less than 50% of the towing capacity of...
This question has been addressed before, so apologies for any redundancy.
My past two vehicles have had a full sized spare, and that's the way I like it. I don't necessarily need the tire changing gear, such jacks, tire blocks, and a proper lug nut wrench, but I would like to be able to call...
I am shopping for a new car, and I do like the Mustang GT. Most bang for the buck. But I noticed that the side mirrors are tiny, smaller than just about any car out there. Half the size of a 4-banger Honda sedan I was looking at some time ago, at least measured in square centimeters.
The side...
