My order was a no-haggle situation, the guy just told me up front they can't sell an ordered car for less than invoice. I went to the fleet department tho, unsure if the average salesman could order me one. He told me about the MCA and X-plan and I joined for that but invoice turned out to be...

Nothing to contribute to the thread, just wanted to comment on what a cool idea, accenting the beltline in red. :thumbsup:

Maybe that depends on how you daily drive it. I certainly didn't get this beast to drive it like a Camry.

Sorry he took that literally! I would be heartbroken to see my baby smunched even a little like that. Plus not getting to drive it and instead having to drive some boring SUV...

My guess is Ford's engineers would've put an icon of a 91 octane pump there but the lawyers told the company to make it the 87 cutoff related to the warranty.

Ford's wording is open to interpretation, I think. I don't interpret it as "use 91 only if you want the utmost performance", I read it as 91 is recommended, with some general reasoning given. I read the 87 thing being as part of the point that you don't go below that, not that 87 is recommended.

I would've just said "Eight and a half." I.e. be as uncreatively annoying as he's being. Bore them to death with the exact opposite of witty comebacks. Then maybe they'll stop.

Ah you have a good aesthetic point on the DRL's that I didn't notice before, the tri-bars were much more distinct before. Still there's light output, so they function as DRL's. I think the refreshed face looks less angry because the previous headlight housing is shaped to look more like an...

Hot enough or hot long enough? Asking cuz I tend to take a lot of short trips. But according to the oil temp rendered gauge I'm up to as high as it's gonna go after 10-15 minutes.

I think the newer face looks more modern, altho I definitely did think the profile of the pre facelift car looks better when I parked behind one once. But the back end was improved tremendously. Beside the quad tips and jazzing up some elements, I honestly don't know what Ford was thinking with...

Oxford white with tan leather, loved the green lighting with it when I saw it. Hmm, just noticed something, my 2008 had ambient lighting for the backseat floors, with an LED about halfway down the side of the center console. It's kinda crummy Ford got rid of that.

Yep, I don't miss at all the frequent not wanting to go into R in my garage in the morning unless I ran it through a few other gears first. Or the occasional not wanting to go into 3rd on a hard turn that my first one had. I don't miss the notchiness, the longer throws, and the heavier clutch...

Absolutely this. Ford's been getting really greedy with it: Year MSRP 2015 $2500 2016 $2500 2017 $3000 2018 $4000 2019 $4000 2020 $5200 I'd want the PP1 tires, splitter and spoiler on a PP2, so if I were ordering now I guess I'd try to live with the tires until worn and see if I could...

You have to order the sound tube delete with the spoiler delete. Otherwise it throws off the balance of the car.

Heh, I bought my 2001 GT brand new without knowing how to drive it. My dad had to test drive it (I test drove the AT version). I was just determined that it was something I wanted to do.

My understanding is those without MagneRide can mix and match drive and steering modes, but for some reason springing for that option means you're locked into certain steering modes most of the time. AFAIK I can only change the steering mode when my drive mode is in Normal. (Which it never is...

To me a manual transmission is not just about selecting your own gear but also about keeping it. I like to stay in 3rd until I've completed my merge onto the freeway. Sometimes I'll have to lift completely off the throttle in an intermediate lane due to some slowpokes and a temporarily blocked...

That night pic is awesome. I'm not a red nor VB fan but together, I'm digging the Superman thing. Would've never thought of it. Congrats.

Don't forget the telescoping adjustable steering wheel, it may have been out too far for you. I'm short for a dude, only 5'7", but I sit a ways back and like to steer with my left arm resting on the window sill while cruising so I've got the wheel all the way out. Maybe too close for the...

I personally don't like Velocity Blue at all. Too light for me. Reminds me when I test-drove a Mazdaspeed3 years ago and all they seemed to come in at the time was red, black or a girly light blue. Not for me. To me the other question is are you happy with the options on your car. If you're...
