After 9 pages of replies, I doubt that I can add anything to this other than to express my happiness that you were not seriously injured.

Without trying to be offensive, since you already broke the transmission by (I presume) doing something abusive, is it possible that your driving style is causing some or all of these issues?

So nearly doubling the horsepower of a stock engine is considered a "mild" modification? LOL.

For you or the OP? For you, the Steeda is fine (BTDT) but you can buy just the spring without the perch. For the OP, I don't know, since he/she wants to go the other way.

Yes, except that I believe that spring makes the pedal effort higher (as the spring is lighter than OE). And you really don't need that perch, unless you are really incompetent at working on the car and break stuff all the time. The plastic is pretty robust. The worst part for me was...

You could change the clutch-assist spring (on the pedal) and achieve what you want for a lot less money and effort.

Well... as you can tell from my handle, I am a BMW guy. And honestly, it is a love/hate relationship. Owning one out of warranty can be a real gamble, but if you can get one that's not too old with less than 100K miles, they are not too bad. The real problem with many of them is that the...

Re: my BMW lemon I was about $10K under water on my lease, so they bought that out and sold me a new car (my choice) at dealer cost.

And, as noted, the lawyers. I once threatened to sue BMW on a lemon law car (that's how you do it in my state if they reject your claim). I spoke with the regional guy about the issue, and since we couldn't resolve it, I suggested that we would go to court. "You'll lose," he said. We reached...

IMHO it's just not worth worrying about stuff like this, even if you have a rare, hard to replace car. The Mustang is neither. Just make sure that your insurance is paid and that you have proper coverage. Locking the car will deter the common thief. Nothing you can do will deter a real...

I just did one myself on my 'vert. I am an experienced installer (I've been doing radios and speakers since high school) and so I'm not afraid of tearing off trim panels and such. But really, on a Mustang, it's pretty easy to do. I get that maybe you're not comfortable doing it... but any...

Yeah, the connected drive feature is included in the USA while the car is under factory warranty, and then you pay for it if you still want it. That is not true for options like heated seats and stuff, just the crap like real-time traffic updates, remote features, etc. The article refers to...

Ah ha! It was the remote start that did it to you, I'll bet. I don't have the option (3 pedals) but in my limited experience with other cars, that feature likes to keep the doors locked to help prevent someone from driving off.

Sorry I didn't read all 7 pages of the thread, so forgive me if it's already been asked and answered, but how it the world do you break the clutch pedal? That's pretty robust stuff. Anyway... I voted C7. I had one. Aside from the build quality (albeit a bit better than the Mustang) and thin...

I'm a little confused, because you wrote that you opened the passenger door, and then started the car. I don't know how that's possible, since you must press down on the brake pedal to do so. Your mistakes were: - leaving the car running unattended - leaving the fob in the car - locking the...

Congrats on the new car, it looks fabulous! I'm generally not a fan of black wheels, but I like those and they go well with the car.

Sorry, I'm going to have to wager $12,005. Hey James, that avatar photo looks like VIR. Yeah baby! OP, glad you and the wife are OK! Do not forget about filing for diminished value. You can wait until everything is estimated and they acknowledge responsibility, and then call the adjuster...

Canadians are just Americans without guns. I forgot who said that originally, but I always found it amusing. My apologies to our Canuck friends. My gaps are OK, it is the alignment that is the issue. And the thin paint. And the rattles. And the wonky tech. But I'm not complaining. My...

Ah, you were asking if the PP1 car had digital. I get it now. That stuff is like HUD (which is sadly not available on our cars) which once you have it, you don't know how you lived without it.
