I think I found it. This isn’t what I first read, and is by no means conclusive, but here is a link.

I can’t find the article again, but I read that the RS engine is actually a different block with enhanced cooling over the normal 2.3. This is what causes head gasket issues when people start mixing up parts. A bunch of RS’s were built with the mustang gaskets leading to recalls. If I find it...

I plan on a second set if it arrives during winter. This will be a fair weather vehicle, so if I can get it home without needing all seasons I’ll probably keep the summers only. I also thought of the blue, but after missing out in anti-matter blue anything blue would feel like a comprise. I...

Thanks, no estimate on delivery. My ideal would be May so the snow is off I90. I heard green is late availability, so that will also slow things down. I did get a confirmation email from Ford.

Invoice/MSRP: Ecoboost Coupe Premium ($30,614/$32,225) Equipment Group 201A ($2,350/$2,500) 2.3L High Performance Package ($5,781/$6,150) Handling Package ($1,875/$1,995) B&O Stereo ($935/$995) CV Lot Management ($10/$0) Fuel Charge ($51.20/$0) Destination and Delivery ($1,195/$1,195) So my...

Got help from Jay over email yesterday and phone today. Great experience, I don't know why I've ever haggled over anything on a lot before. My wife's truck was a breeze to custom order, and this seems to have gone well. Looking forward to a Spring/Summer trip to pick it up and see some family...

Vehicle height also messes with calibration of the system. Less an issue for a mustang, but be aware if you have to get your glass replaced they may not be able to certify the pre collision system if you’ve lowered your car. If you’re lowered, the auto brakes may kick in at the wrong time.

I thought similarly. One day someone in NY without functioning brake lights lane changed in front of me and slammed on the brakes on the interstate (insurance fraud anyone?). It saved me an accident. Still annoys me, but that one time probably paid me back for all the annoyance. Not disagreeing...

I have a wrangler, so similar issues. I like to do some research and get some recommendations, but at the end of the day I try to keep in mind that if I spend a lot of time on security angst I’m losing enjoyment. Have good insurance (I have USAA), don’t invite trouble (I leave nothing in the...

Yeah, I’m pretty sure I’m just smarting from the Wrangler. I also have a LOT of vacation built up thanks to COVID, but maybe I’ll go nuts and use it for track time instead!

The increased resale value is appealing in case I go nuts and make the jump to a used Blackwing later. So $8k gets me the following that I wouldn’t be able to do myself (or I lack confidence in doing it well): some minor engine upgrades (cylinder head, turbo, radiator it sounds like), a much...

I love the vert, but I can’t get Magneride. I’m also worried I’ll find the chasis not strong enough. The loss of antimatter blue made it easier to plan for a coupe, I loved the blue on blue with the interior stitching on the vert but can’t get it now. My main goal is a car that I can enjoy on...

Thanks, I missed the radiator upgrade. I think I saw elsewhere the package increases brake cooling too. I do hate body work, I’m pretty bad at it.

Thanks, I was worried it was the same block with a larger turbo being marketed as a “new engine”. I do care about Magneride, but not $8k for it and a turbo with everything else being work I could have done myself for less. I have a Wrangler and am kicking myself for buying the Rubicon when I...

Forum Team: I’m having trouble researching the difference between the regular ecoboost and the HPP Ecoboost. I’ve seen the HPP has a larger turbo, but otherwise what are the differences? My amateur research leads me to believe I’m paying for access to the magneride and the factory...

I’d do a CTS-V or CT5-V before a Camaro, but the price pushed too high for me. Local dealerships were marking up $40k over sticker. That Blackwing looked so good though. Mustangs looks a lot better, and I found the inside more comfortable. I also like the ecoboost high performance. I didn’t want...

The rig in its natural environment. Lost my BRZ to a red light accident, getting ready to place an order on my first Mustang in a week or two.

Ok, bummer. I was hoping to be impacted with an ecoboost performance pack. I think May is the earliest I can get it over the mountains without buying a second set of tires. Anyone know if 4 fit in the back/trunk so I have the front seat for my travel bag? Lol.

Dumb question. I’ve heard Ford doesn’t build summer-only tire vehicles in the winter. Is this true? If so I might be ready to order in 2 weeks. Otherwise, I’d need to time delivery for I90 to clear over the Cascade/Rockies.
