Are you basing this off code in the page source or is it actually displayed in cotus? If the former, mine is showing the same.

Assuming the ECU tables are discovered and understood properly, one would assume a good tune would be able to alter all selectable drive mode throttle position sensor parameters. The steering effort changes will likely not be affected as those don't run through the ECU.

If it's retail then you are one lucky dog because I ordered almost the exact same car/color/options/etc on 5/27 and won't be built until November.

top gear acceleration tests from 30mph are COMPLETELY POINTLESS. Especially when they use an automatic. Even when they use a manual, all it does is favor a car with no overdriven top gear. Hooray for crap mileage! Now, if every car had a gear that was exactly 1:1 ratio, a 30-50 or 50-70...

so jelly!

It's not an attempt to "ruin" anything. It's me making sure the build quality is up to snuff. A number of new cars have issues like this and the sooner it's caught, the sooner they can be corrected. I was hoping the OP would say, "nah, I checked and in person it looks fine...must be the...

I thought I noticed it on the first delivery thread too...

Am I batshit crazy or are the character lines not exactly lined up with the door?

It would void your exhaust warranty since it wouldn't be on there anymore. :D Other than that, no.

They are not playing games with you. For whatever reason though, their computer has determined your order doesn't quite fit into the scheduling yet. It's as simple as that.

Ordered: 5/27 VIN: 9/25 Build Date: 11/2 (Found by searching source code, not listed in Cotus) Car: Magnetic GT Premium - 400A - PP - Recaros

good start. :thumbsup:

They have emails listed in the contact us section. I've contacted them before.

Something still doesn't add up here. OP, this story seems a bit fishy. Regardless, in theory doesn't every retailer retain the "right to refuse service" to anyone at their discretion? I'm not saying it's right in this case, but isn't that technically true? Also, was the order placed as...

Why are you a "bad customer"? Do you call them every day like a dumb dumb and ask where your car is?

Ford doesn't have to comment on that at all. It's quite common for turbo cars to have their horsepower ratings set while using 93 octane despite the fact that much of the country cannot get it. I'd expect around 10hp drop using 91 vs 93.

FWIW, an FRS/BRZ (which isn't even turbo) barely runs on 91 octane. 93 is required but 91 "can be used if that's all that is available". My BRZ had numerous issues with knock causing pulled timing while running on 91. 87 would have been completely dangerous for the motor. Mazdaspeed3..needs...

The Focus ST makes 126hp/L on 93. The Stang is obviously tuned a bit closer to the edge because it makes 134hp/L on 93. So if you drop down to 87, the ST is making 122hp/L. Take that same 122hp/L and apply it to the Stang and you get 280hp on 87. Not far off from the estimate. My .02

It's a very different car from the brz/Frs. For one, it's almost 900lbs heavier. It's also got a low revving torquey turbo 4 vs a high revving, torque less NA4. If you are buying a grand tourer, yes there is no contest. If you want an autox machine, the Toyobaru would be more ideal.

Only Mustang I'd consider over the 15 is a 12-13 BOSS. Unfortunately, those cost as much as a Premium 15 GT with PP and are dated in a lot of ways so ehhhh...can't really justify that either.
