  1. Accident caused rear differential damage, will it be the same?

    On a previous vehicle the diff was rebuilt poorly and it "howled" when driving at a constant speed. If you notice any noise like this take it back right away, the noise will never go away and may get louder with age. Caused by incorrectly aligned ring and pinion gears.
  2. Some Advice needed from the 2016 Owners

    My 2015 was built in the first run of convertibles back in December 2014. Love my car and spent an hour hand washing it again yesterday. Found a tiny paint chip on the leading edge of the hood, but I don't hold that against the car. Otherwise I have none of the issues described here, my...
  3. 20" Wheel weight = Slower Car?

    No one has yet mentioned that if you order your Mustang with 20" wheels you get additional chassis bracing to compensate for it.
  4. Underglow Is Back

    I would consider green underglow, but verts are always a bit more flashy anyway. And it would match the interior ambient lighting.
  5. First time 6mt owner, few questions

    To preserve the life of your clutch try to think of it as an on/off switch. Perfectly acceptable to slip a little to get you moving from a dead stop but after that keep you foot off the clutch unless you're shifting. You might get away with starting off in 2nd if you have the performance...
  6. So what did your Dealer give you when you purchased your new S550?

    11 months after my purchase I got that same Shelby poster just for stopping by.
  7. Manual Transmissiom

    Depends on the rear axle ratio. Some stock Mustangs with 3.31 gears will "creep" faster than those with performance packs (which should crawl). Mine is a nice in between.
  8. What is the highest mileage car you have ever owned?

    1984 Subaru GL coupe had just over 245,000 when I sold it to a high school kid. He destroyed it in two weeks. 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac had just over 210,000 when I gave it to my goddaughter. She's a college student and still drives it today.
  9. Strangers fondling your car

    If there's one rule that should be shared with the general population, it is that sitting on another man's bike without permission is equivalent to fondling his wife or girlfriend without permission. Expect the same reaction from the owner.
  10. Brief intro, '16 GT Convertible purchasing intention/questions and misc rambling

    The "accessory key" is actually the glove box key.
  11. Driving Modes in Manual GT

    Change it to SNOW/RAIN mode for a real demonstration. That said, I love the rain mode. Won't let you slip a tire in the wet even if the driver gets a bit over enthusiastic.
  12. MPG under engine break

    Push in the clutch and you'll see an improvement going downhill. Also, please learn the difference between break and brake.
  13. Houston Texas......

    I'm in Montgomery on the far north side, we just got steady rain all weekend with no flooding. Maybe 8 inches total for the weekend. All in all we got off very easy.
  14. S550 owners who carry firearms: What, and where?

    I should have been more specific. When I said "I haven't found a solution yet, so I stick with a Ruger LCP in a Blackhawk pocket holster." I meant that the Blackhawk pocket holster (and the Ruger) are actually in my pocket.
  15. Grille delete change performance?

    So without a grill what prevents road debris from punching through your radiator?
  16. Convertible water tightness

    No leaks here. In my book the best way to preserve the top is to park it indoors when not in use. In the years ahead the sun will do more damage than you think.
  17. S550 owners who carry firearms: What, and where?

    Back to the mounting discussion.... Since we've established the airbag interferes with mounting under the steering wheel, this seems like a good alternative. Unfortunately I have a convertible which brings its own issues. Any mount would have to be truly invisible if the car were parked with...
  18. How to turn on backup camera delay?

    My 2015 manual vert has the delay and I like it. Pro Tip: If you're pulling forward and it seems to "stick", showing the camera longer than you think it should, just briefly pull and release the hand brake. Turns camera off instantly.
  19. Who else sucks at rear parking lol?

    Mark me down as another one who ignores the camera when parking in my own garage. Side mirrors only. If I'm backing into a crowded parking lot I do use the camera to make sure there are no obstacles like bushes, trees, or small children.
  20. Any Magazine Reviews for GT Convertible??

    Saw the review on MotorWeek (PBS). Anyone see a magazine review yet?
