"bit of a red herring" is a little strong. Its a widely reported issue. Anyone considering tracking should be aware of this problem, there is a good chance they will encounter it.
I'm glad you found some easy mods that worked for your use case. They are a good place to start for someone who is...
I have driven all trims of the S550, base GT, GT PP1, Mach 1, GT350. I'm value conscious as well. On questions of "is it worth it?" the big lines of demarcation are going to be track driving, and then HOW MIUCH track driving you will do.
If you are going to track, there is no question, the...
Fog Lamps!!! The front end looks unfinished without them, should have been an option to have installed or just the inserts like they are stock. This is the thing that bugs me the most about the car visually.
Shaker hood option would have been cool, and I concede it would have inferior aero...
Appreciate the information in this thread. Car is exactly 4 years old, ~13,000 miles, never subjected to short trips, and today the battery was completely dead, not even a click. I knew the second I opened the door, as I wasn't greeted with all the normal assorted noises it usually makes. Lights...
This thread describes in detail my gloss wing which was painted by a shop. Also have a spray can recommendation with spray outs to see.

Here are the averages on all cars.
On average for any new car you can expect to loose 30% in first two years, then 10% every year after, by that calculus I should be showing a loss of 45%, based on this latest offer (3.5 years in about 6 months ago), their offer was a loss of only ~30%, so that...
2021 Mach 1 with a blend date of 7/26/2021. On the Ford site it is showing up as one affected by this recall. Bummer, because I don't think that a fuel pump is an easy replace job.
Order date: 4/9/2021
Delivered date: 8/24/2021
Velocity Blue, 6spd
Still loving it, no plans to sell.
Given the direction things are going in a lot of different realms, I probably won't ever sell it.
The closest rattle can I used as test sprays were Duplicolor BFM 0360 which is their match for 5FM6 from Autozone, this is VERY close to a match, I'm sure many people would be satisfied with it, I'm just not skilled enough to do this type of job on my own. Here is a spray out over a gloss back...
We certainly did! :fingerscrossed:
According to my very unscientific spotting S650s in the wild during my everyday life "research", I see FAR fewer of those on the road than I did with S650s, more so with the GTs, very rare to see.
Apparently this observation comports with the reality of low...
note #4, "requires special equipment available at your authorized dealer"
What equipment are they referring to? I assume any competent independent service shop will have what is needed, not just Ford?
During break in that noticeable "tactile barrier" between the gears was there, it has diminished with use. So I think that particular feeling is part of the break in process for these units. Going into 5th, mine had a "nibble", Redline D4 took care of that right away. On next change I might go...
Tremec likes to be fully warm. Additionally I'd recommend a thicker fluid, the Camaro guys run a thicker fluid in their Tremecs. I changed to Redline D4, and it improved transmission feel for mine. I'm in Socal so it never freezes and rarely is below ~50F. Honestly, I think this trans is more...
I'm hoping someone with more knowledge than I on the subject can enlighten me. I have spent the last few hours down the rabbit hole on S550 wheel hop and IRS subframe movement. Now I typically don't launch the car out of first gear, but I will do a track day or two per year, and canyon carve in...
No noise, stock 2021 Non-HP car, couple track days lots of hard driving canyon carving, 10,000 Miles. I'm actually surprised I don't have suspension or chasis noise 😁.
Learned a lot here about the bushings for future reference, appreciate the pics.
