I'm shopping for tires in advance cause Winter Is Coming ...
So far, I have found these two:

No, unfortunately. I've been so busy these days that I haven't had the chance. But I know there is also Da Silva Racing. Less of a club, more of a body shop, but they specialize in Mustangs, and they run events regularly. Check them out here if you're interested:

Congrats, buddy! I'm in Toronto too. That's a sweet sweet V6. Welcome to the club! :headbang:
I plan to drive mine during winter as well. Pretty much heard all the things you mentioned. Good Snow Tires + Weight in the Trunk + TTC on Really Clusterfucky days + Caution = You'll be fine.
I...
I own an automatic V6, and 2 days ago I noticed something really strange. Whenever I came to a full stop with the engine running (e.g. at a red light), the car would start revving on its own. It would keep revving to about 1.5K RPM every 1 second or so.
It was kinda terrifying, but awesome...
It's easier than I thought it would be, to be honest. My previous car had automatic climate control, and it was kinda nice how you "set it and forget it".
But it had its own annoyances too. Like when you enter the car on a hot day, and the car goes full on freak-out mode to try and regulate...
The AC on this car is crazy. I don't know if it's the small cabin or what, but it gets very cold very fast even on the lowest fan speed.
I really hope the heating is just as crazy for my Canadian winter. :D
Exactly. My theory is that if Ford offered the V6 Premium, the EcoBoost sales would drop very very fast. What do you think is the percentage of people who went for the Non-Premium EcoBoost?
I don't think the V6 will last very long either. Which is very sad. I actually think the V6 is more practical for a daily driver is you want a NA and don't like turbo.
But as long as Ford still offers a NA engine, I'll be happy. Turbo on a Mustang just doesn't feel right to me.
Excuse my ignorance, but what's so special about these mats compared to the stock floor mats available at Ford dealers?
I do plan on driving my beast in winter, so if I can get some extra protection against salt/mud/slush in the interior, that'd be nice.
I've noticed for a few days now, after a cold start, my 2015 V6 brakes tend to squeak very faintly; you'll only hear it if you pay attention to it. The car has 7,500 km (4,660 miles) on it. The sound goes away after a few red lights.
Is this normal?
I don't have a premium, but I'm so glad to hear premium users don't have to suffer from this crap.
My friend's Honda Accord has this feature. It's the most annoying, useless "safety" feature I've seen. I would argue that it reduces safety by distracting the driver.
It's especially bad when...
Don't know if this was mentioned here, but today I discovered there is a secret compartment inside the glove box made just for your car manual.
When you pull down the glove box, you should see a yellow button. Press it and you'll see a tiny glove box inside the glove box!
I plan to use my V6 during winter (Canadian Winter). Would using Wheel Spacers + Winter tires and winter daily driving be a very very bad idea or am I being paranoid?
Anything to watch out for in terms of maintenance during winter?
+1 for badges.
Badges aren't hard to remove when the lease is over. You just need some patience and a heat gun (or hair dryer). For a bit more money, the badge looks so much nicer.
So you'd say the difference is quite noticeable? I haven't driven the two myself.
My only concern now is the fuckery with the speedometer and shift points for the automatic transmission. How do they usually fix this to ensure the results are as precise as stock? Or can it even be as precise...
Oh yah, I forgot about that. I never realized engine braking could be this much fun until I first heard the growl of the Roush ABs during one. It sounds so menacing.
