I'd keep the decals. It's a nice extra touch. Ford did the same thing with the GT350s, decals/stickers instead of painted stripes like the GT500.
That said, what makes the M1 special are all the GT350/GT500 parts that are calibrated/tuned to perfection. What an amazing car.
Yikes. All these insurance price increases. One of the first things I did was to disable my TCU/LTE modem(s), just in case Ford wanted to provide insurance companies with my driving data. Nothing in life is free, and that includes FordPass points. I can do my own oil changes.
👍 Beautiful car! Best part about the S550 is that you won't have to worry about a locked ECU and the Fully Networked Vehicle (FNV) platform like the S650.
There’s a Mach 1 exhaust video on the Exhaust Addicts channel. It shows the stock exhaust hitting 115 db. Once the resonator was removed, it hit 121 db. I’m not sure how accurate it is, but they do a lot of car exhausts.
It’s top down management by law enforcement. The mayor/governor gives a...
I will tell you this much, it took me 1 month to get my fender flares from the dealer. The dealer told me that they were not aware that it was included. I contacted Ford Performance (shout out Anthony), and I was provided with a tracking number, that showed them being delivered to the Part Dept...
The tramlining was the on thing I disliked about my M1 HP. It all went away once I swapped out the tires to the Pilot Sports 4S. Drives and handles like a dream now. 👌
I'm thinking of pickinh up an extra set of wheels with Pilot Cup 2s for the track. But we'll see.
Yup. Which is why I said police force, not the military. The same police force that enforces the law (how ever unjust and temporary it may be), and can remove our constitutional rights, such as search and seizures, and our very freedom.
And now a non-citizen is able to do this. They’ll...
Here we go, California cops enforcing these Communist regulations. Little do they know that A.I. will slowly begin to replace them (SF already removed the citizenship requirement for hiring police officers. This is the first step.)
That sucks, OP. That said, I believe the Mach 1 exhaust in...
This is the mindset that every American (patriot) should have. I never understood people that said, “…I’m moving out of CA, the politicians are the worst…” How about fight for your ****** state? How about that? And the rest of America is just gonna hand over CA and NY to the Communist tyrants...
It’s so triggering when cops try to enforce Communist regulations. Tint too dark? I get it, officer safety issues (unless you live in the desert). Front-plates? I also kinda get it, it helps to identify suspect vehicles. Exhaust too loud, or the whole CARB regulations violations, it’s stupid af...
I do agree that Ford (and perhaps GM and Dodge) are being bullied by the EPA. And yes, we all should care about the environment. But it seems like a lot of our "good" regulations are weaponized. And EV batteries and components need minerals, and many of these mines employee underage children to...
Just remove the hydrocarbon filter to get back those stolen 10HP. Takes less than 15 mins (at the most). I don't know who to blame for that...Ford's Marketing Dept. or the EPA.
Like it's been said...it's no different than buying any used car. The previous owner could have responsibly enjoyed it until repo, or went crazy knowing they were gonna lose the car eventually. Then again, a non-repo is the same thing...some people buy a car to enjoy for a year or two, abuse it...
Well said. Henry Ford believed in the democratizing of the vehicles. He wanted vehicles to be affordable and attainable for his own employees (and general public). And now, we are seeing this being reversed within Ford (GM, Dodge as well). We are slowly being ushered into a Communist business...
