Not quite an apples to apples if we’re comparing the dyno below to a 2018+ Mustang GT as the 2018 F150 will have different “truck tuned” cams but it does give us an idea of what kind of numbers a 2018+ GT would put down with a Gen 3 F150 manifold.
In the F150 world, swapping to the 2018 GT...
Someone earlier said it best. It’s like you’re in a parade every time you start her up. The emotion it brings out of you and others makes up for the stone age technology. Even that has its charm, the metal on metal slam of the doors and the raw sound of an old carb “cam in block” V8 exhaust note.
When I looked for a vehicle this past fall, I didn’t even consider the 2021 GT for the following reason. I’ve rented countless 2018+ GT’s as I did a great deal of travel (pre-Covid) with the day job. Outside of the Gen 3 Coyote, there just wasn’t enough change with the refresh that made me feel...
Nice choice of color. :thumbsup:
My 2016 Mustang GT was the best car I’ve ever owned. Absolutely loved the design the moment it was released in 2014. I’m the type that gets a new car every 2 years or so, and I ended up keeping the 2016 for 5 years and almost 100,000 miles. Only issues I had...
It’s one of those features you don’t need until you have it and once you become accustomed to it, there’s no going back. Very similar to active rev match. I’ve done human operated rev matching subconsciously my entire life driving. Didn’t need active rev match, didn’t want it but it came...
The “green” color, Shock, is the brightest color on the road. It’s a degree or two brighter and louder than the triple yellow 2016 GT I owned. During max sunlight, it has more of a green tint. During max darkness, it has more of a yellow tint. Not the best night photo example but it’s all I have...
You can run E85 on the stock fuel system with the Camaro. If you plan to go beyond FBO, it’s recommended you upgrade.
Even though, I won’t disagree with you. I could probably get a FBO Gen 3 Mustang into the 10s for $500-1000 less. If you want to go any further NA with the Mustang, such as...
With the LT2 IM swap, that has been a recent development with the LT1. I believe the first swap occurred about 4 months ago? Full exhaust, catless headers, ported LT2 IM and LT5 TB, larger fuel injectors, tune for E85, plus sticky tires and a great launch might be enough to crack 10s in the 1/4...
I found the layout of the Mustang to be straight forward and tasteful without being unnecessarily busy. Over time though, I found the materials to deteriorate at a faster pace than expected. The sagging seats, worn carpet, propensity of the plastic to obtain scratches.
While I find the base...
