Compared to our manual 16 GT, the pull is noticably stronger...perhaps 30% stronger or so if I had to put a figure on it?
So far, the transmission is one of my favorite aspects of driving the car. The clutch is light and smooth, the shift gates are firm, but smooth, and the rev matching is top...
UPDATE FROM INITIAL POST:
Well, the Mach 1 thrived and survived it's first track day...it had about 150 miles of track time in total and 200 miles are now on the odometer. It drank about 5 to 7 mpg on aggressive laps and 10-ish MPG on less aggressive warmup/cool down laps. I didn't have time...
As an update, it went to the dealer first thing yesterday morning.
Due to the low mileage, a Ford Engineer has been engaged to assist the dealer. It sounds like they have ruled out a faulty injector, and are now searching through all of the wiring harness and connector pins in efforts to...
Tried that, stayed clear for about 10 minutes and then came back.
I might try swapping the injectors, but prob wouldn't be able to until this weekend...they appear to be buried pretty deep.
We are supposed to take it out for a track event this weekend...not sure if that's gonna happen now.
Hi All,
This afternoon, my stock, unmodified GT500 with 800 miles on it threw a check engine light. I put a code reader on it and got P0202 - Cylinder 2 Injector A Circuit.
The Ford service manual lists the possible causes for P202 as follows:
"The comprehensive component monitor (CCM)...
It sounds like there shouldn't be anything to worry about since the car was stock; however, you may want to gather any maintenance documentation/receipts/notes that you have concerning the history of the car and how it has been driven thus far just incase they give you any kind of warranty...
Wow...the escalated quickly and I hate it for you! Sorry for your loss!
Hopefully Ford will make this right with little hassle.
Please do keep us posted on the findings.
Hopefully it's nothing serious. For what it's worth, mine had very similar symptoms after I accidentally drained the battery (left the accessories on). 1 to 1/2 of a engine crank, maybe a click or two, but nothing after that. All electronics worked perfectly despite this. My trickle charger with...
The advice is much appreciated, thanks!
Funny you mention that, I really would like to be able to do this on my own and have been making an effort to learn how to do it - maybe I will give it a shot this weekend if the temperatures will ever become reasonable outside again.
So far I think I've...
To be honest, I am not 100% sure, but it was however it came from the factory. I just did a rough measurement and the front seems to be around -1 degree and the rear seems to be a little more than -1.5 degrees.
Unfortunately I was unable to get the alignment adjusted to the recommended track...
My wife and I did a track weekend with NASA in late January at MSR Houston. We took both the CFTP GT500 and our 16 GT PP - it was a lot of fun and the GT500 does shine in a track environment. The technical parts of the track are quite fun and the straightaways are a reward for controlling the...
Hey All,
A forum member suggested that I share my post from the wheels section here as well. Here is the link:
https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/advanced-wheel-locks-gt500-cftp-wheels.154311/
For anyone interested in protecting those insanely expensive (and backordered) carbon fiber rims (or any other rim), here is what a full set of the advanced wheel lock system lug locks look like on my CFTP GT500 wheels. Typically, a set of these would include one lock lug for each wheel, but my...
I pulled the trigger this week after finding the right CFTP car. I was unable to escape an ADM for what I wanted in this area, but was able to mitigate it to 10k with some service extras included. I've managed to get my 6 past vehicles for under xplan pricing so I'll just consider it almost...
#4550 is home, and the other two Mustangs in the garage don't know what to do about it. Neither do I. All I know is that last night, I smiled more than I have in quite a long time and that it hates going less than 35mph. Just wanted to share some initial photos for now:
Thanks again for all of the responses, and information ya'll. I gotta admit there are some pretty humerous and helpful responses here and I am glad this didn't turn into an argument thread.
I've got a few good leads and better gauge of expectations thanks to you fine people. I am hoping to...
Thanks guys. This gives me a pretty good idea of where to set expectations.
Also, apologies for posting a repeat topic - I did a forum search before posting this but none of the helpful posts shown in the "similar threads" below came up for me!
