I have a 2019 GT350 with 4,500 miles. I use the power seat option which allows the driver's seat to automatically move back when I turn the car off and move forward when I hit the start button without depressing the clutch. When the seat moves forward, I hear the right, lateral, seat bolster rub...
I've had my MGW shifter for about four months. (2019 GT350). Agree with the above issues. Reverse is a PITA. I too also find myself sometimes being in 3rd at takeoff instead of 1st. You have to be sure to push hard to the left to hit 1st. It is a notchy shifter and a bit stiff. It has not...
It is funny how we all think we're pretty good drivers till we get in the car with a true professional. I got my come-upence at Road Atlanta with Mike Renner from BMW. He drove an M-5 and did things with that car that I thought were impossible! Glad you got a ride with Mr. Johnson!
Good tire if you plan to drive in the snow, as its a designated snow and winter tire. Not many of us will be driving our GT350's when the first flake falls from the sky! Most of us are looking for an all season tire that will be capable of maintaining good traction both in winter and summer...
I'm in Maryland, near DC, so temps are about the same. I also drive mine in the winter when roads are clear of salt/snow. I've got a 2019 GT350. I shelved my summer only Cup2's and this is what I have: Front: Michelin P.S. A/S 3's 275/40/19. Rears: Michelin P.S. A/S Plus N-spec 285/40/19. I've...
Carfax is often hit or miss. Many PD's do not participate, so no Carfax sourced from them. Insurance company repairs sometimes don't show up on Carfax, either. I had an 03 Terminator that was hit from behind. Police report was initiated and the "at fault" driver's insurance paid $15K for the...
If you can get the dealership to spring for a 100K mile warranty on the car, that would be a good start toward buying the car. Break in procedure is described in the owner's manual. Some owners drive it like they stole it (sorry) from day one and have no issues. Just a good going over by a...
Before calling FCS or the regional representative, I'd speak with your SM in Atlanta. Give him an opportunity to make things right before jumping the chain of command. It's the respectful thing to do since you indicate he's treated you well in the past. Just my two cents.
After looking at the photo provided by Niz55, I found the line was not fully pushed onto the nipple on my 2019. I gave it a good push and it moved forward and snapped into place. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for the tip!
The Germans also use far thicker blacktop material and underlying base material than they do in the USA. The USA completely resurfaces a road and it's cracking and buckling in a couple years. In Germany roads last far longer. The paved secondary roads and autobahns in the Bavaria region of...
Saw it in IMAX a couple days ago. Great movie. I was pleased that the movie focused a lot on the contributions of Ken Mills to the program. He always seemed to get marginalized in books and such. He was an exceptional technician and engineer as well as a balls to the wall driver. You seldom see...
I just watched it! Thanks so much for posting it for all to see!! As said, I've never seen it before. It was a pleasure to see Carroll Shelby again and listen to his recollections. What a 20th century Icon he became!
That's an interesting observation you made which I forgot to mention. My exhaust tips are still silver looking, as well. I even have taken to shining them after a wash and they look like chrome.
Yep, I see the same thing in the DC metro area. Many people just no longer have much of a connection with their modes of transportation. They want big, roomy, and could not care less about how it handles or performs. Just as long as it gets them from A to B. Thus the plethora of big, ugly SUV's...
An accurate and fair evaluation! I was all set to order a new GT500. The lack of the six speed manual and to a lesser extent, the base price, cemented my decision to trade my 2013 GT500 for a new 2019 GT350. I haven't looked back in that decision since getting the new car. Regardless of the...
Not sure, but having some dealership experience, I'd say a tune outside of stock parameters could be a basis for warranty denial if the problem relates to engine performance. I may be incorrect, but I think Ford can also determine if another tune has been used even though you've returned it to...
