I'm a bit farther north than you, and regularly see 3 Mustangs in my area during the winter (we too average 15+ feet of snow every year). 1 of the Mustangs is a V6, the others are GTs. All use dediated winter tires, two with Blizzaks, one with Nokians. I will likely also be driving a Mustang...

That document seems pretty standard - very similar to VW and Subaru publications that I've read in the past. Ultimately, it comes down to judgement/opinion of the service center doing the work. I know of some dealerships that would deny a warranty claim because of a CAI, where as another would...

Huh...well I'll be damned. It doesn't make sense to me, but there's no gear sensor. It would be a very easy/cheap addition for MY2019. Heck, VW includes it on $20K vehicles.

Haha - I totally understand where you're going from - I just have to believe that the ECU on these modern vehicles knows exactly what is going on with the transmission. Sensors are relatively cheap. Do you by chance have any documentation that shows that the ECU is clueless regarding selected...

I'm not a gambling man, but I would bet big money that the car knows the exact position of the 6MT shifter at all times, even if it's not displayed.

Doesn't it display your gear on the dash? I could swear that I saw the LCD dash with 6MT showing the current gear. If it does, then the computer absolutely knows which gear your in. It also will know the proper RPM for all other gears at the vehicles current speed. The only lag will be in...

I totally get the purist mentality here. For me, auto rev matching might be enough to get me behind the wheel of a 6spd. I don't drive manual cars...never really have. I understand how the mechanics work, and I have about 2 minutes behind the wheel of one in a parking lot. I big part of me...

That's what I meant! :D

I think the manual rev match would actually be right 100% of the time, because it isn't anticipating anything. All manual rev matching does is match the engine speed to the transmission speed depending on the gear that you select. For instance: You're driving 40mph in 5th gear. Your RPM is...

I watched a local glass shop tint mine - no way I would take that on. I'm too OCD to ever by happy with my own results. If I recall, I paid ~ $200 for my tint. Money well spent.

Are we talking about two different things here? (PEOPLE STOP GETTING MY HOPES UP FOR REV MATCHING MANUALS :D ) We know that the A10 will "rev match down shift". If the MY19 Mustang 6spd truly auto rev matches, then that's a game changer. Numerous other threads on this topic have told us that...

It's definitely new. If the heated steering wheel was an option without 401A, I wouldn't even care about the LCD cluster. :)

What happens if you try the same when starting from 2nd? I'm guessing a stall?

There is a common misconception that Florida is a no rust state since they don't put down road salt. Corrosion in Florida is extremely common, both from sea salt and very high humidity. With that said, this rust seems a bit excessive. I wonder if it did find itself in some standing sea water.

Yup! In fact, I saw some Matt guy review the AWD GT last year - he seemed to have pretty good things to say about the car. The fact that it's a rear wheel biased AWD system is incredibly appealing to me. Truthfully, if it was a V8, or even a V6 with another hundred hp/tq, I would seriously...

Have you sat behind the wheel of a 3.5TT yet? There is a good reason that it's not in the Mustang lineup - GT sales would fall even more.

There is a trend right now for flat gray colors on cars. It's really growing on me...still not sure if I'd own one, but I'm liking how they look.

Good snow tires and the 3.15 would absolutely be the best way to go in snow. The key to maintaining snow traction (in any vehicle) is to stay OUT of the power band. Up shifting as soon as possible to keep RPMs down is key, otherwise your traction control will instantly kick in, which in...

You do realize that it's likely to be a twin-turbo hybrid with the 5.0 option still being available, right?

Lol
