Like many people, I'm working from home and not going out as often as I did during "normal" times. Maybe once a week, I try to fire up my Mustang and take it for a drive, if, for no other reason, to try to keep the battery alive. But, I'm just kind of wondering, is once a week really "often"...

This is just a note to say "hi" to the random, anonymous jerk in my work parking lot who left me with a nice door ding & scrape this morning, on the rear fender of my 2018 GT. Fu** you.

This is so general it might be considered OT...but it's frustrating that we're in a time when we have cars with such high performance levels, but almost no opportunity on the streets to really enjoy them. At least where I live (central Texas) all the roads I regularly drive on have become so...

On my '18, that rough black plastic trim along the lower rocker panels is starting to look crummy. It's like it's got a layer of dirt or something on it that doesn't come off with a regular wipedown. I think the soap or waxes my automatic car wash uses may have affected it. How do you all keep...

In the mid-'90s through early 2000s I bought several cars (happened to be GM if it makes any difference) and after about six months or maybe a year of ownership I'd get a survey from GM (not a third party like JD Power, etc, although I'd get those too) asking me how I liked/disliked various...

Today I had a (rare for Austin) chance to be first at a stoplight with a lot of open road in front of me. I dropped the shifter into S and gave it the goose when the light went green. So I zip up to about 35-40 MPH and instead of upshifting at redline the car starts banging off the limiter in...

This gripe is not about a malfunction, but it is about a design problem that is pissing me off today. Every time I have to park under a tree that is dropping leaves or other debris, it somehow migrates into the cowl air intake areas under the upper part of the hood. Yesterday I parked under one...

Is there an equivalent part to the one linked below for a 2018 Mustang GT? I can't seem to find a listing for the lid only; only for the whole airbox assembly (at much higher cost). Surely the lid can be bought as a separate piece? I found it for the 2015-2017 V8, and the 2018 Ecoboost, but not...

Within some tire lines, depending on the size and aspect ratio, the tires are available in Standard Load or "XL". For example, many performance tires in the 245/45/18 size range happen to only be available as an "XL" tire, where the same make/model tire in a 245/50/18 configuration might be "SL"...

As we all know, the standard tires on the base GT (and possibly Ecoboost?) are the 235/50 18-inch P Zero Nero all seasons. I don't think that it's unreasonable that the car comes with all-seasons, given the diverse nature of the North American climate--summer tires are not going to work well in...

I enjoy The Grand Tour (Jeremy Clarkson et al on Amazon Prime Video) but every time they put up the lap times board, it bothers me a bit that their lap time for the Mustang GT (I think it's a 2017 with Performance Pack) is at or near the bottom of the (modern) cars they've tested. Granted I...

Even with the automatic (A10), in the Sport or Track modes if you've been accelerating hard and suddenly lift off, it tends to hold onto whatever gear you were in for a while. This may leave the motor revving at 6K+ rpm with basically no power load as you coast or decelerate. I guess it's fine...

'18 GT Premium, 400A with navigation. Started the car this morning and the center display/touchscreen stayed black. Was working fine yesterday (and for the 8 months I've had the car.) Tried stopping/restarting the car a couple of times, hoping it would spring back to life, but nothing. However...

I've had my car for six months, but I didn't notice this until today. There is a green LED basically shining through the carpet, about two or three inches below and slightly to the right of the accelerator pedal. See video (apologize for the quality/orientation...but it's good enough to prove...

On the '18s, and probably earlier models with the 9-speaker sound system, there is an "M" button on the wheel which you use to cycle through the modes. But it's a pain in the ass, because it cycles through all the preset sub-modes too--and I only have a few presets. For example, I don't want it...

See thread title---is there supposed to be any dash warning for low coolant? Or do you just find out when it overheats? Thanks. Will explain why I'm asking later...

I don't think my body has really unusual proportions, but when I adjust the seat for my legs/feet to be in a comfortable position to work the pedals, the steering wheel is still quite a bit too far away. (Even when telescoped out to its full range.) If I move the seat closer to the wheel, then...

When I replace the stock 235/50/18 tires, I'm wondering if I should go with that size again, or try something like 245/45/18s. The diameter for those would be about 0.6 inches less (about a 2% speedo error). I think 255/45/18s could physically fit, but most sources advise against going that...

With the A10 and the optional 3.55 gearing, combined with big clumsy feet, sometimes my throttle control at low speeds isn't exactly smooth. I feel like I might have better control if the gas pedal return spring (or whatever the mechanism is) had more resistance. Is there any adjustment...

Just about every online road test or review of a 18+ GT from car mags or auto journalists is of a Performance Pack car, usually with magneride. Are there *any* instrumented tests or reviews of a base suspension, non-magneride, non-PP car (GT model)? I'd just like to see some comparisons in...
