I've had a lot of manual transmission cars over the years. They all made various noises to various degrees. It's an aluminum box filled with steel gears, and moving the stick slams brass synchro rings together to engage different gears, while they're spinning at high RPM. It's going to make...

Only thing is that during the daytime, the gauge colors revert back to white. The in "night mode" they go back to the color selected. The ambient lighting (footwells and cupholder) do not change.

Welcome to tha club. Comp Orange represent!

Just a few minor gripes: The MyColor settings for the gauges don't stay active during "night mode" and the gauges revert back to white. WTF. Seats don't slide forward when you pull the lever to make the seat back fold forward to get in the rear. That makes it pretty tricky to get my dog in...

What you just said is the logical cure for the rich spike condition. Modern EFI systems are designed to enable that type of compensation. Whether it's through delaying/damping of the throttle plate closing action in a throttle-by-wire car, or with an idle-air control valve on engines with a...

When the throttle is open to hold 3k rpm, the injectors are spitting enough fuel to match the air flow calculated by the MAF to keep a 14:1 Air/Fuel ratio. When the throttle butterfly is closed off suddenly, and before the injectors have enough time to respond properly, this causes the air...

Mine makes a thudding noise when shifting into 1st and 2nd and sometimes 3rd, and I hear/feel a much lighter thud when letting the clutch out, but only under easy driving conditions. When I'm accelerating briskly, all of the noises go away. The thud while shifting is the synchros. I figured...

I ordered a CO/GT/PP Premium. Delivered a couple weeks ago. I saw the pics of the CO/GTPP prototype at an auto show and knew that was the color for me. I hope it's a one-year color. I'm in Wichita, Kansas. I get a lot of "you got an orange car" when people hear "competition orange," but...

The upper panels are covered in leather, not plastic, just like the dash board humps. The lower door panels are plastic.

Comp orange with black GT/PP wheels; Sexiest combination. This color looks good no matter what the lighting.

Yeah, I have a hard time not laying rubber across intersections and hauling balls up an on-ramp, or taking off-ramps way faster than I should. She just begs to be driven...

My dealer accidentally put the 68B interior on my order. Boy was I glad. The dash and door panels are nice, especially because i put my arm in the door panel and get to feel the nice leather. The seats are a more supple leather, I think (I haven't sat in/seen a "regular premium" to compare...

Yes, good idea making a thread. Mine was hard to close, and after 3 days, I tried this. Mine is a still a bit tight (on purpose), but much easier to close now. I turned them down quite a bit.

It was 25 degrees this morning, and the inside tire wanted to spin easily during every sharp/low speed turn I made this morning. I've only got 200 miles on the car and it was balls-cold, so the LSD needs some breaking-in and the tires were like PCV from the cold. I wouldn't expect it to...

Ahhhh, beautiful! And yet another good picture showing common design features/elements being draw from older mustangs. I really love how the S550 looks like a mustang without being retro.

Thanks! CO is quite nice in person. Yeah. It's more of a perspective thing. You sit low in the car and there is a lot of hood out there. I have my mirrors adjusted properly, and the rear window is plenty big. Plus I have a small driveway to back down, as you might be able to see in my...

I love it, love every minute behind the wheel. Even going 40mph, it's a fun and pleasing drive. The 3.73 Torsen L/S rear makes this thing reallly quick off the line and I skip gears all the time because it's not necessary to go through all 6 to get to 40mph in town. It's extremely quiet...

Yeah, those were taken the day it came off the truck, and then rolled into the show room until I could take delivery. They put it inside, then kinda realized their mistake when everyone wanted to fondle it. Then they were real anxious to get it outta there. They had a few in the showroom, but...

Mine has the 68B interior package. It's quite nice inside! In fact, if you didn't see the pony and Ford badges, you'd have a hard time believing you were in a Ford product. The quality and fit/finish of the interior is impeccable. You can fit your whole arm in the door panel. The car...
