Some food for thought about buying the warranty earlier vs later - rental coverage.
My 2018 is about to hit 20k and I ran into a problem with getting a loaner from the dealership right now. I've been waiting since May for my airbag light and A10 to be checked out. Long story short, I went...
Good info here and agree. I'm 36 and still acquiring tools for certain jobs. The latest was a vacuum pump and gauges to fix the AC on my wife's car. So don't feel pressured to have some huge overflowing tool chest. You will use the ratchets (1/4, 3/8 & 1/2) the most so make sure you have regular...
So you haven't actually driven it and think your experience with an automatic with 200 less hp but driving it hard is similar..... sure.
I've put over 15k miles on my brother's 2009 Z06 and it is much more raw and engaging than my A10 GT. However, I wouldn't call daily driving my mustang...
As I said, "from what I understand," so clearly not my personal experience. But yes, I consulted the EPA and they assured me the car intuitively knows exactly what gear you want in every situation if you wear the special helmet, guaranteed of Ford will refund your purchase plus 10%.
Have you...
I gotta believe that the performance and sound of the GT500 would quickly make one forget (or forgive) about banging gears. From what I understand, the shifts are lighting quick and the DCT does a good job of keeping you in the right gear for your driving situation. If it is the upgraded version...
I've got 17,500 miles on my 18 pp1 GT and have the same inner edge wear. I prob have a few thousand more before they start getting into secondary rubber. I have an appointment with the local dealer in 2 weeks or so when they have a loaner available. Did the dealership charge you for the...
I have ATAKs on my 2018 GT daily driver and really like them. I had Corsa Sports previously but hated the rasp. The ATAKs are much deeper and I don't notice any rasp. They are fairly loud on cold start but quiet down pretty quickly. No drone either. They are plenty quite inside to have a...
I bought RTR hood vents and painted them black. I just prepped the grill area really well - basically light, thorough sanding then cleaned them well to get any dust out so it didn't contaminate the paint.
Prep is everything. Honestly, if you're just doing them black I would look on Ebay or...

Ordered these over Christmas for my 2018. Are yours a full replacement or an overlay? If an overlay, did you do anything other than clean the emblem really well before sticking them on there? Adhesion promoter? I have to clean the plastidip off mine first so I've been putting it off...
What about all the waste from the batteries and resources to make them? Electricity to charge them? It's great to daydream about charging your car on solar but that's not possible around the globe (or even across the US) without some major, MAJOR technological breakthroughs. Say what you will...
I took my front bumper off to swap my grill and I only unplugged the fog lights, I believe (been ~6 months). I don't remember any other plugs but mine is a base model so maybe that matters?
Would look so much better with a different paint scheme. Should have left all carbon exposed and wrapped the rest a solid color. Even if it were just all matte blue it would have looked much better. But it's SEMA so there's always at least a 50/50 shot it'll be ugly in the name of being different.
I'm wondering the same about the 2018 f150 on a 2018+ GT. Mine's a daily driver and never gets raced. Would love to have some extra torque in the low and mid range. I occasionally see over 6k but not daily. I'm thinking about grabbing one and smoothing it out before installing it. May be my...
UPDATE:
Got home from work to find a big Borla box on the porch! I was told 10-14 days for it to ship. I had no idea it would show up so fast. There’s also an x-pipe in there. The packing slip just shows the mufflers. I’ll get with Chris and see what’s up. Hoping to put them on next weekend and...
Here's a trick with the A10 though not really about the paddles.
If you are cruising and want to drop gears, blip the gas pedal and it will drop down a few gears. It's nice when on the freeway, drop a few gears then mash pedal once it downshifts. Or you can tap the left paddle once or twice...
