  1. anyone else not like the Base Cloth GT seat? and seating position

    My one experience with a base Mustang (2016 or 2017 model, not sure which) was a rental car. The last person to drive it had to be really short because they had the seat cranked most of the way up. It took me a minute to find the correct lever and pump the seat back down but once it was fully...
  2. What’s Your Favorite Road to Drive?

    Deals Gap Ca Hwy 1 from Hwy 101 at Leggett southbound Co Hwy 550 from Durango to Ouray Hwy 93 in Banff National Forest in Alberta, Canada Trans Alaska Hwy from Dawson Creek, British Columbia to Fairbanks, Alaska Hwy 99 north of Vancouver, British Columbia Hwy 212 from Tower Junction...
  3. Opinions needed... Race Red Exterior with Red Interior... Too much red?

    Out of curiosity, I just did a "build it" on Ford's website. The Race Red Mustang with Showstopper Red interior is indeed, a LOT of red but you know, it doesn't look bad at all. As I said before, I don't think it's something I would personally go for but I could certainly understand anyone...
  4. Opinions needed... Race Red Exterior with Red Interior... Too much red?

    I've seen red cars with red interiors before. I didn't think they looked bad at all. I did think that, "for ME," it was a bit much but that's just MY preference. If YOU like it, and it's what YOU want, then that's all that matters. What any of us think on the subject is totally irrelevant...
  5. Anyone else keeping their S550 at/near stock?

    Picked up a 2016 GT used at 18 months old and 6600 miles last November. Only thing I've done to it so far is a set of hydraulic shocks on the hood and I'm considering a resonator delete with an H pipe. Beyond that, I don't see doing anything significant to it. Of course, that's open to change...
  6. 2018 5.0 Highway MPG

    I've got a 2016 GT convertible with the 3:55 rear end. The highest I've seen on the average mpg display was 28.1. That was cruising 60 to 70 mph with a nice little tail wind. It also happened after filling up, getting right on the freeway and driving just shy of 80 miles in this mode. I have...
  7. 2018 5.0 Highway MPG

    This has been a long running conversation one way or the other since the S550's came out. ;) I picked up a 2016 GT vert w/manual tranny a few months ago. One of the options it's got is the 3.55:1 final drive so it's geared a little lower than factory stock. When I took delivery, I reset...
  8. 2018 5.0 Highway MPG

    Probably, still, my 2016 GT owners manual clearly states that 87 octane is just fine, but if you want maximum performance you gotta use 91+. ;)
  9. Base or Premium GT

    I voted premium, but the base model is a great value in terms of performance bang for the buck. My main reason for going premium is primarily for a few options that are only available on the premium models.
  10. BLIS owners...401A worth it?

    2016 Mustang GT with 401A. Personally, I like the blind spot monitoring. It's just an added tool to help spot unexpected traffic. On the road, it keeps me honest. I've owned other cars where convex mirrors and me doing my best to check over my shoulder before a lane change still wasn't...
  11. launch control on 6 spd only?

    DSG's are manual transmissions. They're just computer controlled manual transmissions as opposed to human controlled manual transmissions. Launch control just allows for a more aggressive launch either way. One point the OP made was the lack of information in the owners manual about the...
  12. Potential Damage Question

    Depends on the RR tracks. I've crossed train tracks that were smooth enough you could roll across them at freeway speeds with no problem. Then again, I've crossed RR tracks that would take the undercarriage off a 3/4 ton truck if you crossed them at anything over 10 mph. How rough was that RR...
  13. Do our cars have a 2 gallon reserve once miles hit 0?

    I've owned three cars with running and average mpg readouts as well as distance to empty displays. A 2006 Honda Civic, 2013 Toyota Rav4, and my 2016 Mustang GT. Both the Honda and Toyota have proven to have at least 2 gallons left after the DTE display says 0 miles to empty. So far, I've...
  14. 2018 Mustang No Active Exhaust

    Magnetic is a very cool color. It's got a healthy amount of metal flake that really pops in the sunshine!
  15. *MT-82 upgraded* but what does it mean ?

    I picked up a 2016 GT convertible w/6-speed manual a couple of months ago. It took me a while to get the hang of smoothly shifting the thing. I'm a lot better about it now but still pull off a few jerky shifts from time to time. One thing i noticed about the shifter fairly early on is...
  16. 2018 GT Convertible Questions

    I'm pretty sure it couldn't! ;)
  17. 2018 GT Convertible Questions

    That's a good question? I've just bought a used 2016 convertible and I've already had one time when the sun was relatively low in the sky and behind me. It was at just the right angle that the information display between the speedo and tach was totally washed out and impossible to read...
  18. 2018 Mustang Convertible Debut

    It's a late response but I just now found this thread. Anyway, I met a lady a bunch of years ago that had the retro T-Bird. It had the optional hard top too but she didn't know it was removable with a soft top underneath. ;)
  19. Butt hurt 15-17 owners come on in!

    I've been dreaming about a Mustang convertible, preferably the GT but not wedded to that, ever since the 2015 models came out. I was aiming for a 2017 last spring but had a death in the family and that put things off for a while. Then I was aiming for a 2018 next year sometime but came across...
