The dealer showed me the options list for a car I test drove. The printout included the shipping weight, which was barely 3400 lbs. This was an automatic, non PP. My theory is that the magazines list the weight of the PP which is heavier due to added bracing and larger wheels/tires.

Same here, per manual recommendation.

Lol, you beat me to it. I was gonna say White stripe down the center, "CRMSCKL" License plate.

Well PP adds larger brakes, larger wheels, larger tires, and more bracing. I imagine that's where most of the 100 lbs comes from. Before I got my car, I test drove a base auto. Shipping weight was listed as low 3400. I can't believe that leather weighs 100 lbs...

I go to 60 after almost every stop light. Rarely do I make it past 100 mph.

Beautiful car. The wheels are a perfect fit too.

If that were true, Ford would have put them in from the factory.

Got an email today from Ford...hawking accessories. I see a variety of stripe kits. Anybody got any pics? Especially in orange?

Good thing the 2016 Mustang isn't available in electric spice. Otherwise I'd have to change underpants.

OP, have a buddy give it a shot. That'll tell you if it's car or driver.

One of the keys to longevity of modern engines is a high operating temperature. Regular trips over 212 F will bake any water and/or fuel out of the oil. Is there any concern that a lower temp thermostat would increase engine wear?

Anyone catch this from the press release: "The clean-sheet engine design is the fourth generation of GM’s acclaimed DOHC V-6 engine family"

Meh, looks like the current car which looks incredibly dated. If they didn't fix the interior, they're gonna have a stinker on their hands.

This. Why would Ford pump in fake 4 cylinder sounds? If they wanted to fake it, it would sound like a ferarri. The system is designed to cancel out undesirable tones.

P0300 has been a plague on enthusiasts for years. Because it's not isolated to one cylinder, its usually not the common culprits: coil, plug, injector. I see 'em when the engine is really lean. So lean it...wait for it...misfires. If it's running rough, this is probably the case. I would...

Link?

Got off track. Yes, there's a lot of mass for a 4 cylinder. If Ford would just give us the nano 2.7 EB, we'd be all set.

C&D makes fair points, but I think it's all cast in the shadow of the Coyote. That said, if BMW made this car for $25k they'd be creaming themselves over it. C'mon, here's an american car, drop-dead gorgeous, 300 hp, 30 mpg, RWD, manual trans and it starts under 25k. Oh, and it pulls .98 on...

Plus it's an ugly body kit.

Anybody considered swapping in the 3.73 pumpkin from the v8 performance pack? I think many of us came from FWD and AWD and look over the rear diff as a performance mod. I bet a 3.73 over the 3.31 or 3.55 would be a hoot.
