  1. Automatic or Manual

    I know the 10 speed auto is faster, but I don’t care. It was the biggest mistake I ever made. I hated our 18 vert. I loved every manual Mustang we’ve had the last 15 years or so. The automatic just took all the fun out of it for me. Thatā€˜s the main reason I sold it. That and the ridiculously...
  2. Kentucky Sold: fr3z-19a412-d 2015-2021 S550 Convertible OEM Ford car cover

    fr3z-19a412-d OEM Ford Indoor/Outdoor car cover for a 15-21 Convertible. Sold my 18 vert so no longer need this. This is a very nice cover that will keep your S550 vert looking great in the garage or outdoors. The cover is in great condition other than some staining from the tire dressing on the...
  3. Kentucky Sold: mods4cars Motivemods STHFFD2 SmartTOP control module for Sale for S550 Convertible

    Sold my 18 vert so no longer need this. It is in perfect working condition and is set for one touch top operation up to 21 MPH and to remember the drive mode on restart. Note: it doesn’t remember if you remote start and will default to normal. This is a limitation of the module. You can change...
  4. How well does the leather hold up with big boys?

    Just sold our 18 vert and the seats still looked brand new after 18k miles and I’m definitely in the big boy category at 6’2 and 280. Our S197 had 32k on it and the seats still looked new. If you take care of them and use a quality leather conditioner, they’ll last a long time. I used Griots...
  5. Dealership, question everything

    You think I haven’t? You think any Ford dealer around here is any better? We have to drive over an hour to the next nearest one. They are barely better and we have to fight with them too. My wife and I had a meeting with the dealer owner over the previous service manager’s outright hostility...
  6. Dealership, question everything

    Every time my wife or I bring any of our 3 Fords in for service, we get the standard threat that if they don’t find a problem, we’ll be charged the diagnostic fee. Really? They’ve never heard of intermittent problems? I get so sick of fighting with the service department every time I have a...
  7. Dealership, question everything

    Ford doesn’t give a flying f**k. Been through things like this over and over, and it never does any good to call customer service. I had a sync 3 update fail that corrupted everything in my 16 SHO. The Bluetooth didn’t even work. I brought it in and they said there was nothing they could do...
  8. Doors fill with water

    So where are these drains? I’ve read about clogged drains in a dozen threads, and nobody says where they are in any one them. Lol I never did figure out where the sloshing water exactly was, but in our old s197, the doors would fill up with water when the tiny drain holes plugged up, so I...
  9. Doors fill with water

    Do anybody else’s doors fill with water? Had the 2018 vert parked outside for a week while doing projects in the garage. It rained for 3 days straight last week but hasn’t rained in a few days. Yesterday I noticed condensation all over the inside of the glass, so I pulled the car in the garage...
  10. My BMW 545i feels faster than 2019 Mustang GT

    You’re not alone, and the A10 doesn’t make it feel any faster. I am underwhelmed every time I floor our 2018 A10 GT. It feels like a dog. I know it reaches super legal speeds quickly, but Ford has tamed this car down to the point of almost boredom. Jeremy Clarkson said the same thing about the...
  11. Any Current Ecoboost Owners Test Driven the 2020 High Performance Ecoboost?

    Yeah, gearing makes a huge difference in feel. My 2012 3.73 manual was a lot more fun to drive than our a10 2018 GT. I know the 18 is faster on paper, but it just doesn’t feel fast to me, and I really don't like it much to be honest. The SHO was a hoot every time you step on the gas. It just...
  12. New SYNC 3.0 update was just put out . SYNCGen3.0_3.0.19205_PRODUCT

    In the 10 plus times I’ve tried to report the update on 6 different sync 3 equipped cars, not once has it worked. It doesn’t surprise me it doesn’t work now. I don’t even bother anymore. I updated my 19 F250 today, and the source going back to AM radio on restart issue is still there, as is...
  13. New SYNC 3.0 update was just put out . SYNCGen3.0_3.0.19205_PRODUCT

    If it’s gonna update again, it will do it on its own. You can tell if it’s running by using a usb stick with an activity light. You should see it flashing while it’s running. Never had one completely go to a black screen though. The file I have is sync3 nav v1 to v22.zip. It’s for the nav...
  14. New SYNC 3.0 update was just put out . SYNCGen3.0_3.0.19205_PRODUCT

    Put the usb stick back in and let it start the update. When it says to remove usb stick, DO NOT remove it. Turn car off, wait 10 minutes to let CAN bus go to sleep, then turn car on and let it run through update until it says finished. Then remove usb drive, and turn off car. When you turn it...
  15. New SYNC 3.0 update was just put out . SYNCGen3.0_3.0.19205_PRODUCT

    Wonder if Ford finally fixed any bugs with this build. The source always going back to AM radio is infuriating. The eyeball searing full bright backup camera really sucks on 18093, too. I rolled back the super duty to 17051 to fix that it bugged me so much. Also, the dimming bug where your dash...
  16. Any Current Ecoboost Owners Test Driven the 2020 High Performance Ecoboost?

    I’ve never driven a performance pack. Got a smoking deal on a loaded leftover 18 demo, and it’s not a PP unfortunately. Been trying to figure out what to try first to alleviate the gutless feel off the line. Considered going to a 3.55, but I see a lot of drag racers are switching to 3.15s and...
  17. Any Current Ecoboost Owners Test Driven the 2020 High Performance Ecoboost?

    I would bet anything the Ecoboost would take a GT off the line initially unless the GT was prepared and could powerbrake. Once you get past the first second, the v8 would annihilate it, though. Problem is, most around town stuff is not planned and only lasts a couple seconds. My SHO would...
  18. Original Bullitt at the Mustang Owners Museum

    Doubt the owners museum could afford it. Some of the estimates are saying 4 mill plus. I bet it goes for crazy money. I saw it at the Somernites cruise in August. Honestly, it looks like crap. Lol Wish I found it in my barn, though.
  19. Any Current Ecoboost Owners Test Driven the 2020 High Performance Ecoboost?

    My guess would be the V8s gutlessness off the line. Turbo motors feel a lot better down low and are a lot of fun squirting around traffic around town. The wife’s Ecoboost Flex pushes you back in the seat a lot harder than our 18 GT from a stop. It’s my #1 gripe and makes me really miss my SHO...
  20. Thoughts on a rental 19 GT convertible

    All the hertz rentals I’ve seen are silver 2019 401a A10 GTs with the 9 speaker stereo and ugly wheels, definitely no magnetorheological shocks. Go another trip coming up and might get the Camaro next tine. They even have z06 corvettes but they want an obscene amount of money for them...
