Exactly. Unless it can be proven to be a benefit, they really do nothing. Be it catch oil vapors or straighten out the ions in your fuel molecules.
Keep in mind, valves need to be lubricated, and depending on how the new DI/PI engines use their injection, may not put enough fuel on the valve to...
Regarding engaging a forward gear and reverse gear at the same time: this is a terrible idea because in order to do so it would still be coupled to the engine. You need some sort of mechanism to allow the transmission to be in neutral and engage a completely separate gear.
For on highway...
One thing to keep in mind is the options. I ordered mine on 6/14 and it was placed with Ford on 6/18, mine was a PP2 car and it was a solid 2 months before I heard anything and that was after me riding my dealer for info.
I can tell you without a doubt that interest rates are going to go up between now and next year. How much? Who knows, but I can tell you that I had to extend my pre-approval for my mustang, and rates went up .3% in 60 days
I've got you both beat, I told my dealer to order 6/14, they placed the order 6/18, EDD 10/29. Though I think all things considered ALLSTOCK has had the longest wait so far, I think he ordered his originally as an 18 in April or something like that, then got cancelled and now has an EDD...
My order for a PP2 car was placed with ford on 6/18 and just now got COTUS info this week, and that's after getting in my salesman's ass because I hadn't gotten a VIN yet. Those of you who ordered in May, get with your salesman to see what your order code is, if it's not 10-19, they've done it...
As far as I'm aware, there's no such thing as a '17 PP2, and Ford doesn't have no lift shift capabilities. The reason you feel like the rev limiter is kicking in is because it is. Bouncing off the rev limiter isn't good.
I finally got a VIN on mine! I've not seen any Velocity Blue PP2 cars, and very few LB PP2's, I'll make sure to post pics once I get my dirty little grubbies on it. COTUS info by racrguy posted Aug 14, 2018 at 11:44 AM
Aaaaah ok. I think those are only there because of a federal mandate that says you can't have production cars roll out of the factory with tires/wheels that stick out past the bodywork. One of the Audi RS cars has them as well, best I recall.
