I'm not sure I'm understanding this properly.
I've read a few references to torque management, as part of the OEM tune. Is this really the AdvanceTrac software? Is it simply the ECU cutting torque/power when it thinks it needs to? Are our cars not as fast as they could be, because the ECU is...
I friggin' LOVE driving in a good storm!!! Me and my trusty, awesome steed pounding through the waves of rain, wind and lightning!!! My skill and supreme auto, versus the worst Mother Nature can throw at us.
Quiet, clam, stable, the perfect temperature and humidity. The seats completely...
This site. Looks totally different. Good too.
Then I left my phone's hot spot on, and it updated SYNC3. I got into my car to go to a client's home, and I had a completely new screen, controls, and the WAZE and Android Auto weren't working. Just what I needed, pressed for time to get to their...
I'd like a set of the OEM wheels that are optional on the PP1 cars, these;
Is the only way to get them from the dealership? And if so, is there a particular dealership that ships and offers really good pricing?
Is there a very close after market wheel that is reasonable in price, and comes...
It's been a long time since I've posted about my car being hit. My black Mustang was hit 8 times, my yellow Mustang twice, and now my blue Mustang has suffered it's inaugural damage.
Today on the drive into work, some ******* in a white work van just came right into my lane, hit the side of my...
I've always been interested in the topic of restoration, and YouTube has provided tons of very interesting channels to view. Getting to see people find older vehicles, and fix them up beautifully.
What's very interesting to me, is the process of stripping a vehicle down to it's bare, rusted...
The car seems to have some sort of issue. 100% stock, just got it's first oil-change, 6500 miles.
Driving to work, the power ended, it was rev-limited to 3K or so RPM, and the wrench light came on. In the middle of D.C. morning rush-hour traffic, it was quite disconcerting. Thankfully there was...
In the 2019 MotorTrend Best Driver's Car, it came in 2nd against cars that cost waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more.

And in the Inaugural Best Driver's Car Grand Prix, it lead the race for over a lap, and finished 3rd behind cars that were...
Just an observation;
Last night, as the first snow of the season hit here, I was faced with the prospect of driving home in D.C. rush-hour traffic while it fell. I knew the trip might be hellish.
Standard mode, exhaust set to quiet, Classical FM playing, and a relaxing drive home was had.
No...
Although it's no longer a race where people compete directly against one another, I read recently the time record was broken. https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a30085091/these-guys-just-drove-an-e63-amg-across-america-in-a-record-27-hours-25-minutes/?utm_source=pocket-newtab

Just being bored, but I can see adding tons of money into making a really nice interior.
Most here talk lowering, tuning, etc. But there's something to be said for raising the game inside the car;
This one here is something that should be relatively easy to do;
My dumb ass left the car in 1st gear when I parked last night, and when I started the car this morning I let the clutch out and it went straight into the concrete wall of the parking garage. I never, ever leave the car in gear.....except for last night evidently.
So, I need a factory grille...
Compared to my recently traded in 2016, the oil pressures on my 2019 seems quite low.
-Cold start at 60 degrees = peg to 100, then within 2-3 seconds goes down to 40-45 PSI.
-Completely warmed, sitting in traffic, I see idle pressures around 10 PSI.
Did Ford use a lower pressure oil-pump? Or...
Is that a thing? Can we turn the accessory power on, switch the exhaust to Track mode, and hear the car snarl when it's started?
If no one knows, I'll find out in a bit.
What is out there for the 18s & 19s? Americanmuscle.com has nothing, and I need to mount a front plate without drilling my bumper. Evidently Virginia has decided that no front plate = 2 points on your license.
There have been quite a few complaints about these cars not feeling that fast, there's even an entire thread here about that. In fact, months ago a new 2019 PP1/MT82 owner pulled up to my work because he saw my 2016 in the parking lot, and actually complained to me about that very issue.
And I...
