Congrats! We have the exact same setup: M/T EcoBoost Premium in Deep Impact Blue with the 20" wheels. Oddly, I actually have Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires on my wheels. They've been pretty good in the snow so far. Luckily, my dealer ordered and installed those tires at no cost and kept...

Hmm...I haven't tested that out yet and don't really want to try to. The situation I'm talking about is trying to move the shifter into the first gear position with the clutch pedal fully depressed while braking to a stop. It's prevented me from moving the shifter into that position at pretty...

what lock?

Thanks! I've been working on engine braking and get the basics but I'm still pretty slow at it at this point. In terms of using the brakes to stop, is there any reason not to shift into first (with the clutch in) as I'm coming to a stop? This saves me a second or two by not having to shift...

As in row down through the gears with the clutch depressed the whole time as I'm braking to a stop? Sorry I'm new to manual driving so I'm not familiar with all the techniques yet. I'm not really looking to engine brake to a stop in these types of situations (neighborhood driving with lots of...

This has happened to me a few times recently in cold weather (0-20 degrees Fahrenheit) before the car has fully warmed up. If I’m driving say in 3rd gear and approaching a stop sign, I normally hit the brakes, depress the clutch, and shift the car into first gear as I’m approaching the stop sign...

Looks great! I should go outside and wash my car. Oh wait, it's -6 outside right now.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. Any concerns with this type of plate rusting onto the car if the coating gets scratched?

Wisconsin. And yeah, if that were to ever happen, I'd be working from home and not driving anywhere, regardless of which vehicle or tires I owned. I've never seen that much accumulated snow go unplowed where I live, though.

I’ve lived and driven in Wisconsin for nearly 15 years, exclusively on all-season tires, and fortunately haven’t had any issues or concerns thus far. I’ve never tried to argue that all-seasons are better in winter than winter tires, but it’s all about compromises and buying what one feels to...

I'm interested in a nice "plain" frame with no text or graphics that isn't just cheap black plastic. Any ideas?

About how much did you pay for the installation? I cannot believe how inexpensive these kits are. Almost makes me wish I didn't get the premium package, as I was mainly interested in the heated leather seats. Do you know if leatherseats.com or katzkin will sell just a single seat or part of a...

That's a good idea, I actually have room since the 20" wheels do not come with a spare. Are you worried I'll sue you if you provide a recommendation? I did not buy the Mustang due to its snow handling capability. Although I live in Wisconsin, I'm in an urban area that is very diligent about...

Well what's a good starting point? What are your settings?

I've listened mostly to Sirius, which I had thought was supposed to be good quality until reading this post. Is there much quality loss with Bluetooth?

I have an EcoBoost Premium and was looking for opinions on the best sound settings (bass, treble, mid-range, etc). I've seen a thread about the base models but not the premium models. I mostly listen to rock. I'm not an audiophile by any means but the sound system to my untrained ears has been...

Ford was under pressure to build a lighter Mustang, and adding weight to the rear solely for winter drivers would not have been an acceptable option from the factory, especially since many Mustangs will never see snow. Weight can be added and removed easily, so why make it a permanent part of...

No, the thread is about how much weight, if any, to add to the trunk GIVEN my current set of tires. I am not asking about the best tires for snow driving. Also, I'm assuming you have no basis for saying the ExtremeContact DWS tires are good at nothing other than just generally hating on all...

I didn't ask about which tires to put on it, but thanks. I don't get this forum's hate of all season tires, but that's not the conversation I'm trying to have here. This comes up every time I make reference to the tires on my car.

How much weight should I put in the trunk for driving in snow and slush? This is my first year with a RWD. Also, what do you guys use for the weight? Sand bags, kitty litter, etc. that won't take up a ton of space? If it matters, I have Continental Extreme Contact DWS all season tires on my...
