  1. Resale value....ouch

    I knew the Mustang's resale value was bad but when checking out used 392 challengers (love them lately esp low end torque and gearbox) i turned to the internet to see what my GT's worth. Not much. But the Camaro and Challengers seem to hold their price better. Oh well...keeping the...
  2. With regular maintenance, how many miles can one get out of a 15-17 GT?

    And what's likely to break/need major replacement along the way? "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin" ? I know, I know. But I was reading a Subaru WRX STi forum and guys were bragging about making it to 100k on their engines. Call me optimistic, but with the 4.6 making it...
  3. Anybody ever fall "out of love" with owning your Mustang?

    I also do some target shooting. And often times I stop getting to the range for months at a time due to work, and other crap, and think about selling some guns off that are just collecting dust. Hell, my Glocks haven't been out in at least 2 years. But back to the Mustang. I wanted a...
  4. Can't lock or unlock passenger side door with "smart key" by pulling handle

    I can't open the car from the passenger side by putting my hand on the handle and unlocking it that way, nor can I stick my thumb on the pad to lock it. The driver's side works fine and I can lock/unlock by physically pressing the buttons on the fob itself. Just no hands free unlock of...
  5. Damn tire pump that came with the car was defective

    I don't know whether to bring this up with the dealership or with Ford. My buddy is driving my GT PP, first time I've ever ridden passenger. He tells me that my tire pressure warning light came on and is telling me I have 24 PSI. We're in the middle of nowhere with no shoulders to pull off...
  6. Paint chipping away from wheel well!

    I have about 7000 miles on my GT. I just washed it and saw this in several places along the rear passenger wheel well. It's abrasive to the touch when you run your finger along it. I thought first a rock but in so many places? Do you think the paint is just chipping away at an abnormal rate...
  7. I like my car MORE as time goes on. Anybody else?

    Sure, there are some quirks. Like the thud noise when shifting gears (and the crunchiness of the shifter when the car is cold), the groan of the brakes when reversing sometimes, the lack of low end punch of the 5.0 compared to the LT1, the heaviness of the car, and in some angles I think it...
  8. 5.0 coyote low end torque...or lack thereof?

    Is anybody else here longing for a bit more low end power? Even with short gears the 5.0 to me seems to need some more grunt in the sub-3000 rpm range. I know that's how the engine is, but even just around town I'd like it to move more without having to downshift. But I also enjoy my...
  9. What exactly is the weak point on the Mt82?

    I tried to search this but maybe my search words suck What exactly is the bad part of this trans? Is it the shifting unit itself? So it can just be "cured" by a MGW or good bracket? Or is it the strength of the tranny itself? From my reading it sounds like a strong transmission...
  10. Dents in trunk decklid...

    Since there are the shocks that raise the trunk, I have to pull it down shut with considerably more force than my Toyota, which is just hinged. As a result, I seem to have a dent or two that are barely noticeable but you can see at certain angles. Kind of pisses me off, since you need to...
  11. Instead of paying ADM...why not buy a Shelby in Canada?

    Yesterday I was getting the oil changed on my GT. I wandered into the showroom and saw a GT350 sitting there collecting dust. Searching Craigslist showed a few in my area on Ford showroom floors that the dealer is asking MSRP for. Canadian MSRP is not far off from US MSRP since it's market...
  12. 6 month owner review of '16 GT PP

    I'd always been a Chevy guy. After I tested the 5th gen Camaro and was completely turned off by the dealer service, the lack of visibility and the price, I checked out the Mustang. I ordered one in August of last year and it arrived in December. I've had just over 6 months to drive the car...
  13. Is it just me, or does the S550 look awkward from certain angles?

    I love my car and I think it's very beautiful from most angles. But sometimes I see them in pictures and in person and the car looks kind of...awkward looking to me. Like, the front looks very bulbous, and it looks very elongated. It's hard to put my finger on that something just looks...
  14. Does the GT PP take longer to get to temperature compared to the reg GT?

    Just a curious observation. My GT PP seems to take a bit of time to get warmed up when I watch the coolant needle. Anyway, the GT 3.31 gears I test drove seemed to be warm immediately after test driving. Does the PP's radiator make it take longer to heat up? Funny enough my 2.4...
  15. Electronic problems after wash

    It was a nice day today so I washed the GT. I do my best to not directly put water in the hood vents. Anyway, after a wash and dry, I let it sit and when I walked up to it the lights flashed once, then twice, then the trunk opened. Odd, I thought, and closed the trunk. Then when I got...
  16. Got some new tires for the GT PP; some intial impressions

    I wouldn't drive my GT Performance Pack car on the stock Pirellis because the temp would dip down or it would rain. Sometimes I'd go out when it was 40 and up and even still it would feel a bit squirrely. I'd take it nice and slow but would still feel the lack of grip. Seeing as how I live...
  17. Vancouver/Lower Mainland owners - any interest in my GT PP Pirelli tires?

    I know this isn't the classifieds but it's the Canadian local forum. Sorry if wrong place. Have just over 800 KM on my tires as of now. I'm thinking I'm going to get some Michelin Pilot AS/3 tires ASAP. I'm going to lend my daily driver to my girlfriend. Walked outside today and her truck...
  18. 5.0 Coyote vs LS3/LT1 GM engines - how do they compare?

    Engine only comparison. GM has more cubic inches but single-cam and physically more compact of an engine. Ford has 1.2 liters less but is a larger 4-cam engine. The LS3 and LT1 engines seem to put out more power. The 5.0 seems "higher tech". What advantages does the 5.0 Coyote have...
  19. Ford App to unlock/lock etc your vehicle from your smartphone?

    Does anybody have this? I saw it briefly mentioned in the 2015 brochure but don't know how it works or how you can set it up. Apparently you can unlock/lock and access your car from your Smartphone. No idea if that just replaces the key entirely if you want it to. How much does it cost any...
  20. How much difference in rain driveability will good tires make?

    I just got my '16 GT PP and the Pirelli P Zeros don't inspire too much confidence in the rain. Not what they're designed for, but I live in a very rainy climate so I want to chuck 'em for some better tires. Curious if i were to get a good set of tires, I'm thinking Michelin Pilot AS/3, how...
