  1. Need help with modified used GT purchase

    JMHO. Only applies to me. If Roush didn't do the build (that is, if it isn't a factory Roush Mustang, so to speak) I would be super wary. That would mean someone else with unknown skill set and quality control wrenched on the single most complex, expensive piece of the entire car. I drove one...
  2. Wind deflectors

    "Love the Drive" deflector here, on the current vert and the previous one as well. They have held up to many years of use, and I have the top down at every opportunity. It substantially reduces turbulence in the cabin and makes it possible to converse without shouting. I keep it on the car...
  3. Dangerous driving - tips for a newbie to muscle cars

    Your post reminded me of something I forgot to mention in my earlier post! Back in '06, my bride and I went to one of the Skip Barber driving schools at Lime Rock, CT. Much of what I shared earlier grew out of those couple of days. I learned more there than I had learned in a lifetime of...
  4. Dangerous driving - tips for a newbie to muscle cars

    These are my rules of thumb for me. YMMV. Eat the chicken, throw away the bones. One of the greatest F1 drivers from history, Jackie Stewart, taught that smooth is fast. He was a master of throttle management and the rev-match downshift. I've been using this thinking to define my driving style...
  5. The Engine of America | Full Documentary

    One of the best half-hours I'll have in my day today. Now I'm ready to get behind the wheel this morning.
  6. Can anyone tell me what this part is called?

    That's what got me hooked. A red '66 Mustang convertible (only briefly) and a '66 Fairlane 500 convertible. Took many years, but I finally scratched the itch in 2005!
  7. Can anyone tell me what this part is called?

    Mustang back seats offer people the opportunity to discover what it's like to wear a 3500 pound knee tourniquet. 😉😏
  8. Max cruise setting is 120mph. Now a speedo question for the fast guys.

    I think the Mustang is rev-limited to 155mph. Could be wrong.
  9. Intake Runner Stuck Closed

    It is more than a little absurd that, given this has been an issue with Ford V8 intake manifolds going back to the 1990's, that Ford never fixed this once and for all a long time ago. I waited four and half months for my replacement back in 2020, courtesy of co-vid and all the supply chain...
  10. Pondering a purchase......

    If it were me I would make sure I can get a Ford ESP plan on a stock Mustang. That may rule out the Gen 1 S550's now (2015-2017). The complexity of the cars now makes it essential, in my book. Granted, you'll find some amazing wrench-heads on this site who are good with working on their...
  11. "Mach 4" 4-Door Mustang + Off-Road Baja Mustang models previewed at Ford dealers meeting!

    I believe this is indeed what they are exploring. The Ford/Mercury/Lincoln dynamic is long gone, or course. I think they're indeed exploring a Ford/Mustang/Lincoln approach to growing their sales. Now they also need to do something about Lincoln too. It would be neat if they truly upscaled...
  12. Window tint

    Georgia's legal requirements for car window tint: Tint darkness for sedans: Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed on the top 6 inches of the windshield. Front Side windows: Must allow more than 32% of light in. Back Side windows: Must allow more than 32% of light in. Rear Window: Must...
  13. How long do you intend to keep you current mustang

    Probably until about 200k miles. Usually daily drivers start to become expensive after that.
  14. What are some tasteful OEM+ aesthetic mods I should get?

    "Tasteful" is in the eye of the beholder, of course. For me personally (and just for me on the driver's side view), this is my favorite:
  15. 91 or 94 octane gas.

    From the 2015 owner's manual: 2.3L EcoBoost and 5.0L V8 Engines We recommend regular unleaded gasoline with a pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. Some stations offer fuels posted as regular with an octane rating below 87, particularly in high altitude areas. We do not recommend fuels with an...
  16. GT to Ecoboost

    It's been said many times - with the Ecoboost engines you can have the "Eco" or the "Boost" - but not both at the same time. I test-drove an Ecoboost before I found the Mustang I have now. The 2.3L turbo was no slouch, but the V8 is, as my mom would have said, "gooder".
  17. Scammers or...

    This is truth, and some of the best insurance against getting taken. Don't move fast on anything online. Look at it with stink-eye, and do some homework. Then do some more.
  18. Rev Hang After Hard Pull - '19 GT

    Think of it as encouragement to perform no-lift shifts. 😜
  19. Too Many Sequential Tailights!

    Like many tech-related items, over the years what was once a desirable, unique feature becomes commonplace. In the mid-late 50's Chrysler offered, of all things, a factory-installed record player! That kicked off a tech race for automotive music sources other than terrestrial radio. What was...
  20. Downshifting

    I agree with the above. But even in every-day traffic it is still fun. I've been rev-match downshifting (in dry conditions) for many years. It's part of the joy of driving, every single day. I do restrict this sort of thing to dry conditions, allowing for the reality of traffic and sharing the...
