  1. The 2018 Ford Mustang's 10-Speed Automatic Makes It a Quicker Pony

    The rough downshift from 3 to 1 occurs when I am coming to a complete stop, such as at a stop sign or traffic light. This rough downshift does not occur every time, but about 75% of the time. And it occurs in the normal, sport and sport + (haven't driven much in other modes). I would not...
  2. The 2018 Ford Mustang's 10-Speed Automatic Makes It a Quicker Pony

    With about 8,700 miles on my GT, PP1, Magneride, A10, I agree with C&D's assessment of the A10. The 10-speed is plenty fast, but its smoothness leaves a lot to be desired. I know this car is a sports car and perhaps it is unrealistic to expect the A10 to shift as smoothly as my wife's 8-speed...
  3. 2017 convertible with smartTOP module

    Does the module work for a 2018 GT Convert? I looked up the installation instructions and they look pretty formidable. How long do you think is would take a reasonably able "hacker" to install it? Thanks in advance for you help.
  4. Bullitt and Adaptive cruise/ collision avoidance

    I just don't understand Ford's thinking in not including these options (Adaptive Cruise, Collision Avoidance) as well as rain-sensing wipers options on their excellent N.A. Bullitt. I realize I am old and need these driving aids more than younger drivers, but their non-availability on the...
  5. Still happy you bought a 10 sp auto?

    I feel the same way about my GT Premium A10 that is approaching 8,000 miles. It's very fast and relatively smooth upshifting, which is great for performance. However, its clunky nature when downshifting into 1st gear when I am braking to a full stop really irritates me. I took it to my dealer...
  6. 2019 GT350 Orders Question

    Anybody have information on when Ford will release the 2019 GT350 order guide?
  7. Questions regarding options on a 2019 and trade in value on a 2016

    I would also recommend MagneRide. I really enjoy changing the suspension damping. I also enjoy how the MR dynamically adjusts the suspension on the fly. One if the characteristics I enjoy about my Pony is the relatively smooth ride I get with the MR set to the normal setting
  8. 2018 5.0 Highway MPG

    I just completed a 106 mile drive on the Natchez Trace Parkway from Clinton, MS to just outside Eupora, MS. Driving a constant 57-mph (speed limit is 50 but the Rangers give a little slack), I averaged 31.7 mpg according to the vehicle computer. I realize the trip computer seems to error on the...
  9. Steeda jacking rails on my Vert!!!!

    What's the best way to raise the vehicle enough to allow one to install the Steeda jacking rails? Or can they be installed without raising the vehicle?
  10. 2018 GT Premium with PP1 - Help Locating the Oil Drain Plug

    Thanks. I am sure that is great advice that I will follow. Can one remove the plug by hand or are tools (like a pair of properly placed pliars) required?
  11. 2018 GT Premium with PP1 - Help Locating the Oil Drain Plug

    Thank you very much. I am glad I did not turn it while I was on my exploratory grawl:) I would have hit a 10 qt gusher!
  12. 2018 GT Premium with PP1 - Help Locating the Oil Drain Plug

    Yes, I have read the manual, but sort of casually. I agree that is the place everyone should consult before posting questions. However, IMO, the manual is the poorest written supporting document I have come across. There was information there, but it was (generally speaking) very difficult to...
  13. 2018 GT Premium with PP1 - Help Locating the Oil Drain Plug

    I just purchased a 2018 GT convertible, fully equipped (PP1, Magneride, 401A, 10sp auto, variable exhaust, Shaker, metallic gray exterior, black interior). I have about 1,100 miles on it and I really like it. BTW, I am a 69-year-old retired engineer and this vehicle will be my last rodeo. What...
  14. Convertible Delivery Time

    Thanks for the info about Royal Crimson. If I can’t get that color, I am fine with Ruby Red.
  15. Convertible Delivery Time

    I am plannng to order a Crimson 2018 GT Premium Convertible maxed out (PP1 not PP2) with an MSRP of $59k. This is my last rodeo (age 69) so I am going all out. My question is what delivery time should I expect? 3 to 4 months? Should I expect a longer delivery time for a Convertible? My...
  16. Question for S550 GT Convertible Owners

    Thanks Sixtus. I hear it's pretty hot out your way. What about a hot sunny day with the top up? Does the AC keep the interior comfortable under those conditions? I am somewhat concerned due to the black-only top. Edit: Sorry, I did not read your response carefully. You just said your AC cools...
  17. Question for S550 GT Convertible Owners

    I am planning on ordering a 2018 Mustang GT Premium Plus Convertible as soon as I can. I am coming out of a leased 2015 Mazda Miata hardtop convertible (black top). Although it has been a trouble-free roadster, its air conditioning system is marginal for hot southeast USA summers where I live...

  20. Forum members average age?

    I am 68 and currently own a 2015 Mazda Miata 25 Anniversary Ed (hardtop convertible). Its lease will be expiring in June with an option to renew month-to-month for another 6 months. As soon as Ford begins taking orders, I intend to order a 2018 Mustang GT Premium Convertible with almost all...
