There seems to be a trend in dealerships towards sales, whether cars or service, but not performance (for the Mustang in particular). In my last visit to Autonation Ford in Texas, the service (sales) rep said not to use 93 octane or it will void the warrantee! I said it was documented in their...

I concur with the above comments. As a 2.3T owner, I would not want this crass superficial creation.... it's an anti-tribute to Carroll Shelby at the least and an abomination to true Mustang people (like on this forum). There are no engine mods (more forged parts, larger turbo, etc). Where at...

Been keeping watch over Ford's (mis)handling of the 2015 world-wide launch. If it's any consolation, Ford dealers here in the US can be just as clueless and incompetent... apparently they are only trained for generic sales paperwork and not the actual vehicle engineering/operation (no surprise).

Can the catted downpipe be used on the street for normal driving as a higher flow replacement for stock... or is it for off-road only (as stated in the tech specs)?

Last week a family friend bought a new BRZ and drove it over to my house. When he took a drive in my new EB he was very surprised..... his words: "this car is so sexy and elegant!" he especially loved the seats, engine torque and driving modes ("sport+"). He almost went into shock when he...

Winter tires are for traction on slippery wintery roads..... can't use the full power of any of the engines. This is why the "Snow/Wet Mode" with the premium is so very useful.....smoothes out your driving inputs (especially throttle response, braking, etc.) to keep from inadvertiently breaking...

I concur. The winter driving definitely calls for the premium with the heated mirrors/seats/defrost etc; however, the ability to use the car in "Snow Mode" (as well as "Sport+ and so on) is also an important and very real performance enhancement. Whether you go with the Coyote or 2.3T makes...

I'm game for a meet-up and/or cruise. The center of the metroplex (near 6-flags/stadiums) has good access and lots of restaurants and clubs to choose from.

If it helps, one of my purchase factors was the driveability/sport-shifting/durability of the automatic transmission (real good on Mustang) and the seating/visibility to accommodate my petite wife (she loves the 2015 Mustang). She also commented on how agile/easy it is to drive around town &...

I'm attaching photos (very small proofs) using this method. Let me know which image numbers you would like and I will email (larger) printable files. :cheers:

Hey..... I'm ready to attach small proofs from our cruise..... You can then PM me which (numbered) pics you would like and I will email printable files to you directly. Oh by the way, how do you post (attach) images to this forum thread?

Great cruise! I've got many good pics and will post tomorrow after I've processed them. Thanks to all of you for making this event happen! I'm really looking forward to the Fredricksburg/Oktoberfest/Three Sisters excursion we'll be planning for later in Sept.

A small pack of 'Stangs whipping through the countryside will still be a quite a sight and quite an exhilarating experience for us! :D

Looks good! So we leave Dennys about 9-9:30 then and get to Tyler by 11-11:30. Count me in! See you all Sat morning.

Looks good. However, seems like it takes about 3.5 hrs into Tyler, so we would have to depart about 8:00 to get there before noon. Also, for those of us from the Ft Worth area, a meeting spot in the Dallas area is fine, but could we make it out of the city, such as the Dennys at the SE corner...

If most of you seem to want the shorter Tyler route, I'm fine with that. But someone else needs to set it up ASAP (meeting place, route etc.) as I'm less familiar with the roads to Tyler (we want one with twists & turns and minimal traffic). By the way, on the Fredricksburg route, the...

I hear you. We can shorten the trip by going with 935 into Fredricksburg instead of Twisted Sisters. We would get there for a nice lunch at about 11:30 or so. The trip back (to start point in DFW) would then be about 4 hours. (With lunch/rest, gas stops about 9.5 hours total). I'm not...

Seems like about 4-6 so far. As for the 7:30 A.M. meet-up, we can meet at the IHOP on I-30 at the Eastchase exit (8640 W I-30) or else a further westerly IHOP at 2015 S Cherry Ln (just off I-30). (I plan on getting there earlier for coffee and breakfast). If the rest of the participants...

Seems like a meet-up in central DFW would be convenient: I suggest the IHOP at the Eastchase Pkwy exit of I-30 (7 min west of stadiums). There are also four gas stations at this location. I have recently driven 67 into Cleburne from I-35W.... it's under construction. 377 into Stephenville is...

Hey, good thoughts! I'm really looking forward to this too. I'm OK with the decals idea, but I don't know where to get such an item. Your lunch suggestions for Fredricksburg look good (we can rest-up and fuel-up before hitting the Three Sisters. I estimate the trip to be about 3.5 hrs to...
