You are going to get a variety of answers, as this is almost a philosophical question. Does anyone including myself have real empirical data on what is better for the Mach 1 or any car in general? no we don't.
Some will say drive as normal don't think about it at all, generally unnecessary with...
I hear it very noticeable, still its hard to hear "tone" with sounds like this unless you are actually in the car.
On these crappy speakers it almost sounds like an air "whoosh" noise. Are you sure Its not the induction noise from the Cold Air Intake?
Yikes, I have not experienced that, I have been into the high 130s mph on track. A lot of people report hood buffeting, surprisingly mine is mild, as far as violent unsafe feeling vibration I have not had that. IMO, on a good surface the M1 is smooth even at very high speed. Its not Audi levels...
I had mine painted, here is a thread of my experience.

Considering adding this as an additional antitheft device here in the USA.
hearing some stories of young thieves getting into manual cars only to discover they don't know how to drive it. :crackup:
Where can I get it?
unfortunate to hear this. I have not had a problem with locking out on mine.
That part is a significant source of NVH though. A lot of owners, myself included, have what sounds like a "gear hiss" and that slider ( or what ever it connects to and activates) contributes to it.
If I'm driving...
My mistake in terminology I should have looked it up first, I have corrected my original post.
I was referring to the Electronic Stability Control (AKA Advance Trac). Its operation is described on page 174 - 177 of the owners Manual.
To me it seems logical that drive mode would impact the...
Wasn't this A10 also used in later model Camaro SS? As I remember it was, yet the magazines said Chevy had it tuned better. Now they were not mentioning this downhill use case specifically but its food for thought.
Elevation changes make a track much more interesting! crappy to hear for the...
Hmmmmm, same tires this is interesting indeed then!
Maybe Ford Performance FRPP can answer for us?
On street I usually drive TCS off, other times its TCS off and ESC off. I don't like going sideways much, but maybe I will get a little silly with the TCS on an see how intrusive it is.
Curious...
Tough question to answer, my instinct would say there is an electronic difference between the two cars. The cars are equipped with different tires in size and compound from the factory right?
If so, that fact alone probably factors into the logic for the TCS, it would be like a friction...
Really keep a careful eye on rear diff temps on that GT, the weak point in track endurance for GTs and PP cars are the rear diffs, then engine oil temperature.
yep, this is the BIG play going on behind the scenes with your data. Some insurance companies will allow you to install a dongle type device on your car which records telemetry data. The whole idea is stupid, say because you are an alert driver, and a deer jumps out on the road you do a hard...
This has been going on for a long time. Usually its some type of inventory control tracking, but also can be billed to the customer as a security feature at a high profit. Dealers will have these types of devices installed fairly common place is as a dongle piggy backed into the ODB2 port. Its...
Mobile service is great, took the guy 15 minutes, highly recommend.
Some how it decided to rain for those exact 15 minute the car was out of the garage for service, I had just washed it on last Friday :curse:
Exactly, get the fluid level looked at outside the Ford network , eliminate the easy things first.
Confirm it has enough fluid, then go drive then go on a real good drive with the car, put it though its paces, a long drive where it is being driven at temperature for an extended time.
After...
