The vast majority of all season tires are garbage from a performance and handling perspective. The Michelin AS3+ is one of a handful of exceptions, they are not a PS4S but they are still very, very good. (I would personally never put all season tires on a Mustang but I live in Canada where it is...
My recommendation is to spend the money on a Premium, preferably a 401A. The interior is significantly better and you will appreciate the details every day during your commute. Heated seats in NY are very, very nice. Personally, I would also consider MagneRide as mandatory for your usage. It...
I love all if the recent shades of blue on Mustangs. My Tacoma is Blazing Blue which is similar to Velocity Blue. My brother has a 2019 PP2 in Kona Blue. I just saw Antimatter Blue in person for the first time and it is my new favorite. It looks black in certain light but it pops in the...
Interesting. Here in Canada, Mustang GTs have $3500 off MSRP, straight from Ford. Another $1500 off from the dealer is easy. Of course, that's nothing compared to the $10K off that was available last Fall.
Side note, even the Mach 1 has $2500 off from Ford of Canada right now.
Off hand, I am not sure about the differences between the US and Canadian market versions of the Mustang. I'm sure there are a few minor regulatory differences (i.e. mph vs kph on non-digital instrument panel) and possibly some differences in the trim packages but I believe that overall, the...
Have you compared it to new cars within 500 miles of your area? MSRP on a 2021 with 301A and PP1 is $45,600. 10% off MSRP should be easily achievable, with 15-18% off MSRP common on this forum.
I have been driving my new PP2 this winter but I don't have any good snow pics yet and I just washed it in the garage tonight so I can't take a dirty winter pic now. However, I have a few pics of my previous Mustang having fun in the winter. First, with winter tires on Daytona Beach in...
I agree. In Canada, the HPP costs $6500 on a 100A. To get the HPP plus the $2600 handling package on a base EcoBoost, you need to step up another $2000 for a 101A. Now we are at $44,080. All are very desirable options but we've just added 33% to the price of the car!
For a Canadian EcoBoost...
I haven't had the opportunity to drive an HPP but I think it's a great car. However, I've always thought that what we know as the HPP engine should have simply been the Mustang EcoBoost gen 2.
I'm not a drag racer and my knees/legs still function so I would never consider an automatic in any vehicle with sporting intensions. Heck, even my 4x4 truck that I use to tow a travel trailer is a manual. My commuter car is a manual. Driving is a skill and an art that I love, I find that...
I generally don't have a good opinion of GM due to the 7 years I spent working as a mechanics assistant at an independent shop (part time while I was in school). The vast majority of the problem vehicles were GMs and it has stuck with me. I also have family members and friends that have bought...
I am a die hard manual fanatic but for a driver's car, you would have to be a very high level of Crazy to choose an '80's Lamborghini over a new Ferrari SF90 Stradale. The Countach won't even keep up with a new Mustang GT (manual or automatic) on a track, never mind the SF90. I recently had...
My car is a PP2 so the staggered setup wasn't an issue for me. I went with Fast Wheels model FC04 in a 19" x 8.5" with a 35mm offset at all four corners. They are flow formed, relatively light (21.4 lbs) and fit over the Brembo brakes with no spacers...
I commend your honesty but I assure you that you are over-thinking it. Just do it.
I've owned nothing but manual daily drivers for 25+ years, I would never consider buying an automatic transmission.
That's awesome, good for you for shopping smart. I thought about waiting for a Mach 1 with Handling Package but the deals in Canada were so good last month that I ended up buying a 2020 GT 401A PP2 AE (>$10K off MSRP, $700 free accesories and 0.99% interest). Similar discounts were not...
