Well, for me, it's the same as people worried about whether they would get tired of having the Performance Package on their daily driver. A stiff, firm, sporty ride would be fun at first, but after a few months of commuting into work every day over potholed streets you might get tired of it and...
That is my concern - I think it looks great, and if I were renting a car for a weekend, or buying this as my third car or something I'd definitely pick it. But for a daily driver that I'm going to keep for at least several years, I'm worried I'll start to wish I just had a neutral black...
I guess I should just find one in person somewhere. I am really torn - worried that the ebony interior will be too dark and monotonous, particularly with the darker trim from the performance package. I have had several cars with totally black interiors and am a little bored with that look...
I have not seen a car with the Redline interior on any of my local dealer lots. I'm thinking of ordering a 2016 GT Premium PP in DIB with the Redline (non-Recaro) interior. This would be my daily driver. Just wondering if anyone finds the red too intense or distracting on a daily basis.
Somewhere I read an account of a conversation with a Ford engineer who said that this behavior was needed to meet an emissions requirement, to avoid letting unburnt fuel into the exhaust system.
The headlights are not airtight.
If the air is humid, and the car wash water is cold, it is totally possible and normal for condensation to form on the inside of the headlight. Even if the air is not particularly humid, the moisture from washing the car may be enough to cause it...
Yeah, I understand how the pressures interact. What I wasn't sure about was whether the car would adjust the (gauge) boost pressure to maintain the same absolute cylinder pressures (and power output) at high altitude. Very interesting that it will not, I had always assumed that performance at...
Atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.7 psi. At 10,000 feet, pressure is roughly 10.2 psi.
The 2.3L Ecoboost produces roughly 18 psi of boost, at sea level.
In order to produce the same amount of power at 10,000 feet as at sea level, it would need to produce 22.5 psi of boost, in order to...
I will be following this thread with interest - I'm planning on ordering a 2016 GT in the fall, but I'm wondering if I should wait until hearing what the MY2017 will be before doing so (would be a long and painful wait).
Given that Ford is using the 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6 in the new 2017 Raptor...
