This may not work if the wheels are staggered on the PP

How much work is the switch to the 3.31 gears on your Torsen? The reason is, if I get a Mustang GT in a few years, I want 3.55 gears, but I want the Torsen and not the Traction-Lok unit. Never mind, I just watched this. It's no joke. [ame]

Thanks for the explanation. If I do get a Mustang GT (it is still an option for me, vs a Focus RS), I think that I'd rather get the Torsen because of the Canadian winters we get up here, and it would be my first RWD car that I've ever owned.

This is exactly what I'm looking for. I like to be civilized and restrained when I'm driving around town, but I like knowing that I can unleash all that power at the drop of a foot. You're correct, it was Jonathon Ramsey's second drive video...

Could you ask your usual dealer (not the Mazda dealer) why it cost $137 for an oil change, when it's $80 for the same service at a Ford dealership? Did they put a different oil in? Use a different filter?

I would be far, FAR more concerned over the fact that some random guy borrowed your car, drove it around without the oil cap installed, then left random empty bottles of oil in your trunk.

Yours has the 3.31 gears, right? I'm guessing that you would describe the accelerative thrust as 'monstrous'? What steering mode is this, the normal or sport? I've seen a couple of videos where there's a little bit too much 'dead' spot at the top center; the reviewer demonstrated by moving the...

Will the 3.55 gears on a stock Mustang GT be more than enough for the street, works well enough for slippery conditions (wet, winter, etc), and will be reliable for years to come?

Where there's smoke, there's usually a fire. I hear about BMWs being so unreliable so many times that you just have to wonder about it. My sis in law has a BMW, and it already had to have some unscheduled service done to it a few months ago. Brother said that he would never buy a BMW again...

Saw some brand new cars in a dealership showroom just a couple days ago - swirl marks everywhere thanks to the 'wash' they do. You can expect no less than this stellar service for the wash on your car.

If I understand it correctly, the Torsen unit is self-contained but interfaces with a ring gear and pinion? So if you wanted to get a Torsen, you can do it one of two ways: 1) Get the PP 2) Buy a Torsen + rear axle and swap that in And if you wanted to make that Torsen into a 3.55 gear...

Look what I found: http://fordperformanceracingparts.com/parts/part_details.asp?PartKeyField=25267 $2196 (USD, presumably), so basically if you wanted the Torsen 3.73 in your Mustang GT, it would be best to get the PP right from the factory. Duh, right?

Is the stock 3.55 gear a Traction-Lok unit?

This is an excellent read, thanks. I like this part:

Basically, my purchase decision (in 2 years) will be between a turbo car, and a naturally aspirated car. The latter would be the Mustang GT, and it is an obvious choice compared to the offerings from other manufacturers. I object to paying a luxury tax (Audi, BMW, etc), I don't trust GM, and...

I've heard from several people (who have owned Mustangs in the past) that one of the virtues of the Coyote engine is how rock solid reliable it is. Is there an article or something I can read to further educate myself on this? I'd like to know the details (technical and otherwise) as it will...

Black chrome is the way to go.

BLIS is useful because it cuts through bad weather and poor lighting conditions. For example (this is something that I've experienced multiple times), imagine that you're driving home late at night on the highway. It's raining, there are no highway lamps in the stretches between cities, and...

Was that 2015 a tester or something? 235 miles when you drove it off the lot...
