  1. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    I did this too, with the shiny non-absorbent side of some leftover poster board. Plus a plastic bag around the filter when I got to the hand twisting torque. Plus lined everything else below with shop towels. Only a few drips due to operator error. I’m going to try cutting up an old narrow...
  2. Do you change your own oil?

    This would rock my faith in the dealer. I fall into the “change my own oil” category, and have always done it on my vehicles. This past weekend I did it for the first time on my newly acquired used Mustang. Just like the 5.0, my 5.2 uses 10. I put in exactly 10 quarts, and the dipstick read to...
  3. Question about the rear decklid panel on a Shelby

    It’s exactly the same as all the others, save the badge.
  4. Test driving a GT350

    Funny how the GT350 has that effect! The OP was looking to buy/test a used GT350. There in no reason a dealer shouldn't let him test used.
  5. Let's talk about the C8 vs the GT500

    Interesting: 558HP / 515TQ to rear wheels: https://www.motortrend.com/news/2020-chevrolet-corvette-c8-power-dyno/
  6. Does the 10 Speed Auto Come In Base Models?

    I used HHP for my 19 GT and was very happy them and the kit. I bought again from them for the GT350. My kit arrives Tuesday. They'll give you a $75 credit for the 4" FCIM faceplate you swap, and will pay for return shipping! Yes, it is plug and play. Watch this video: You have a 19 right...
  7. Does the 10 Speed Auto Come In Base Models?

    My understanding is that slipping the transmission into sport only controls the shift points/characteristics. I don’t know if it changes throttle response too. Toggling into sports plus, changes the shift response, throttle response, steering, and active exhaust if you have it. So I always...
  8. Test driving a GT350

    Yeah, and the Voodoo doesn't even wake up until the other side 4000, and then again after 6000. You really need to re-calibrate how you drive a V8 with a stick. It's that different.
  9. Test driving a GT350

    I can't afford a GT500, so i don't even entertain the thought but: I traded a 19 GT A10 with 3.55s, because the Tremec 6 and the Voodoo is THAT intoxicating.
  10. Test driving a GT350

    Yes, and absolutely insist on it. But be warned, you will be sold. Don't ask me how I know . . .
  11. Real Gains of Lighter Wheels?

    Here's a start: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a15350088/tested-quantifying-the-performance-benefits-of-the-shelby-gt350rs-carbon-fiber-wheels/ I believe the weight also accounts for most of the GT350R's quicker 0-60 than the GT350
  12. Does the 10 Speed Auto Come In Base Models?

    Hey Danny! When I did my conversion with hell horse, I had to wait seven weeks. I understand that it is not electronics, but finding a donor faceplate. The faceplates are taken out of salvaged mustangs as the part is not available from Ford. Hell horse said they get them in batches, and they...
  13. Does the 10 Speed Auto Come In Base Models?

    I had a 19 GT, a 10, active exhaust, 3.55 rear. Base model. I thought I could live with the four-inch Sync, but it sucked. And I missed CarPlay. So I added the 8 inch conversion just for that. To my surprise the instructions included how to activate the toggle, and the modes. It was awesome...
  14. Does the 10 Speed Auto Come In Base Models?

    There are several vendors who sell a complete kit. Plan on 1500 to 1800 for all new components. It depends if you want NAV, satellite radio, or other options. I understand that the face plates come off of used vehicles as they are not available directly from Ford. Some of the common ones are...
  15. Does the 10 Speed Auto Come In Base Models?

    In short, you have to convert from the 4 inch sync to the 8 inch sync 3 That comes with a new face plate called an FCIM, that includes the 4 toggle switches at the bottom. With the toggle switches, and reprogramming via Forscan, you can enable the drive modes.
  16. Extended Warranty: Base, Extra, Or Premium?

    Also, I re-read your 1st post - get the premium and call it night!
  17. Extended Warranty: Base, Extra, Or Premium?

    As a rule, I NEVER buy extended warranties on anything. But like everything about this car, this situation is special. I can be a cheap bastard, so I bent my own rules as far as could - Base plan. It has what I want and I will sleep better a night for the next 4 years. If it makes you sleep...
  18. Extended Warranty: Base, Extra, Or Premium?

    Well, I just bought the Base ESP for my 16 GT350 through Zeigler. Coverage: 8 yrs / 48K from date of delivery (12/15), or about 4 years 36K from today. I won't put more than 5K a year (just no time to do so) so 8/48 will work. I wasn't looking for bumper to bumper, but wanted drivetrain and...
  19. Rant time...what's the worst thing about your Mustang?

    I could not stand the shifter on my 19 GT A10. How many times do i need to see P-R-N . . . ? It looks like a uncircumcised prick. I swapped for white, but they make a bunch of colors and custom: https://www.wmgarage.com/product-page/automatic-shaft-conversion-kit Bonus. It's heavy enough...
