I was at the Cleveland show too. I’m guessing that show car mule has a manual transmission in it. Why else would they have all windows blacked out?? The other show cars don’t have this dark tint? Ford doesn’t want the public to see inside this car. Can someone get close and peak inside and verify?
There is all this speculation on HP. I figure we can get a close estimate with some math/tuner knowledge that is on the forum. We know 5.2 liters and 12 psi of boost. This information was provided by the chief mustang engineer. The Roush 2.65L supercharger on the 2018 5.0 produces 700 HP and 610...
I’m curios on how many 350R owners will be trading or selling for the new GT500? I currently have a GT350 but I may be in the market for GT350R. I’m thinking there may be a wave of them hit the market with owners trading them in for the new GT500. I’m hoping more hit the market. I have to have a...
That’s a tricky question. I believe it depends on the rank/volume of mustang sales that dealer has to determine where in the Order que your car will be built. Larger high volume dealers get their cars before lower volume dealers. This is what I was told by the dealership. I ordered my 2016...
I’m not giving Ford my $75k until it comes with a manual. I don’t care if it’s a few tenths slower at drag strip, 0-60 and slower on the road course because of the manual. I road race about three times a year and drag race a few weekends . I want a drivers car with 3 pedals that is enjoyable to...
I’m not giving Ford my $75k until it comes with a manual. I don’t care if it’s a few tenths slower at drag strip and slower on the road course because of the manual. I only road race three times a year and drag race a couple weekends as well. I want a drivers car with 3 pedals.
Thanks for the Great posts Epiphany! I bet you are correct. I looked at the Camaro DSSV dampers the other day and they are the gold color like the ones on the GT4 mustang like your photos show. The photo above clearly does not show this type of damper. Thanks for all your thought out replies on...
What do you guys think? Will the GT500 have DSSV dampers? I’m hoping they try something different rather than sticking with magniride or maybe make DSSV standard on the track pack or R version for guys who enjoy tracking the car. ZL1 1LE and Mercedes GT both have DSSV dampers and are top...
Thanks. I do have the camber bolts. I’m going to get a track alignment. Any recommendations from experience on camber settings?. I have the recommended settings and these are probably good middle of the road settings. I’m not looking for super aggressive that may cause excessive wear on the...
What is your opinion on best track mod for the money? I haven’t done many mods but for $80 I thought the 2 point steeda g track brace was definitely worth the money. More responsive steering feel and car did not push as much in hard corners. I think a track alignment would be another great bang...
Fill the tank up before you go to a track day. I used about 3/4 tank on (4) 20 minute sessions. Don’t try to save weight by going on a light tank because as mentioned above you can starve the engine.
Thanks for the all the advice/feedback. I only put 2000-3000 miles per year so I’m going to stick with the track alignment for both street and track.
Is anyone running the track alignment all the time? I track a few times a year and would like to stick with the track alignment. Will this cause abnormal or excessive tire wear? Can anyone with a track alignment please let me know?
The numbers I saw had 39 Base Units sent to Canada so there are only slightly over a 100 Base Cars in the US so they are "Rare Birds". I'm very happy with my Base and by seeing prices of 2018 GT's easily approaching $50K, the base was a great deal.
Did you track the car before the spring change and after the spring change? I have a Base too and was curious on the improvement of the ford performance springs. Please let me know what you think about the difference even if you did not track the car . It the difference of handling very...
I own a base and it handles very well. I never hit limp mode on the street but did once during the third 20 minute session of a track day. I installed transmission cooler so it should be ok for future track events. iMO...You don’t need the coolers if you don’t plan on tracking the car. I stayed...
