  1. Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 vs. Cooper Zeon

    I've run both of these tires. For me, the Firestones are better overall. When I had the Coopers, they really liked to flat spot when sitting overnight, where the firestones didn't. For daily driving, either tire is a good choice, but for me, when pushed to their limit, the firestones held up...
  2. Is a GT too impractical for daily driving?

    Drive both. See if the feel of the GT is worth it - for me it was. Before I took a job that has a 100 mile daily commute, I would drive either Mustang to work daily, and there was no issue. I worked for a large hospital and would get looks daily when arriving or leaving, but I feel they were...
  3. How many have garage queens?

    April 2015 - 5000 Miles. Wasn't going to be, but has become one. My Escape has adaptive cruise and blindspot monitoring and all the other bells and whistles that makes my 90 mile round trip commute easier. That and the fact that cars get hit where I work on more occasions than there should be...
  4. Will vin tell me if car is tech or track pack

    A way you can see if it is a track pack or a tech pack is to go to http://www.etis.ford.com/vehicleSelection.do and put the VIN number in. Then search the page for "track pack" or "tech pack" and you should have either one. I know when I was searching 350s for a friend, that is where I could...
  5. Vanity plates on the new 2015's

    Got mine Friday. It was too cold to pull it out and get a pic on the car.
  6. Vanity plates on the new 2015's

    I just got mine in the mail on Friday(2/12), sent it in on 12/20/15. Check cleared and name was removed from system about a week after I sent in the request. I was able to renew the registration (using title number and new plate) about a week before the plate came in.
  7. Help me find an awesome price on a V6 automatic!

    I know for registering a new vehicle in PA, you need to be an "authorized agent of PennDOT" - which means you need to have registered with the state as a vehicle dealer or a notary within PA. Sales tax would be processed once the vehicle was titled within the state. Ex - If you bought the...
  8. RIP..

    I know from seeing a few F150s that were involved in head-on collisions, that the truck's engine and trans are designed to drop under the vehicle. The one, which was involved in a head on at 50 mph the engine was wedged under the truck and the ground. I would think that the cars would do the...
  9. 3-4 people road trips with the S550?

    For the people that I have had in my car, the leg room seems to be less of an issue than headroom. Anyone over 5'6" or so will be very close to the window and the person who was 6'1" had to have their head tilted if they wanted to sit properly. I haven't had any children who required a booster...
  10. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    I want to say that it's not that the mustang design / engineering team didn't care, but the field service engineers seemed to not know how to fix or just not acknowledge that it even needed to be fixed. After seeing the stories in the Driveline vibration thread, it was almost like fixes that...
  11. Vibration between 50 & 70 mph

    I found my paperwork from my original appt. today . ~600 miles. So it seems to be at that mileage that it begins to concern people. Maybe by that mileage, the brand new car feeling has worn off. FWIW - I had mine fixed @ about 1800 miles. over 1000 more miles on it now and it is still smooth...
  12. Insurance agent just made my day!

    Same insurance provider. 2015 GTPP is $455 a year and is about $100 less than my 94 GT for the same coverage. 9 months of use, 3 of storage, Dec - Mar. Actually my Explorer is the most expensive of my vehicles, but that has 12 month coverage. If you live in PA and have good credit / driving...
  13. Vibration between 50 & 70 mph

    Congrats on getting it fixed. :cheers: After mine was fixed, I thought the same thing about possibly having a vibration, but learned that it was in fact the roadway that I travelled everyday. I was out on some 1 or 2 day old pavement yesterday, and I took it from 30 to 90 a few times. No...
  14. Vibration between 50 & 70 mph

    Still good after about 300 miles. I have had it up to the point of the worst vibration before and its gone now. Almost feels like a different car. Good luck with yours.
  15. Vibration between 50 & 70 mph

    Unfortunately I am not a Heavy truck specialist so I was repeating what the one guy at the shop said. All I know is that replacing that flange fixed my issue. :headbang:
  16. Vibration between 50 & 70 mph

    The one reason that they thought it might be the flange was that they also service large trucks and they see issues with DSes and pinion flanges all the time. They said they talked with one of their heavy truck specialists and he told them to check it. I suspect that these vibrations are a bit...
  17. Vibration between 50 & 70 mph

    I am back in my Mustang after it being at the dealer for a week. The noise and shake is gone! When they replaced the DS, he said the shake was gone for the first 5 miles or so, and then it came back when he was returning to the shop. After checking out the differential and the lashing coming...
  18. How old are S550 owners? What cars have you owned so far?

    26. 1998 Honda Civic LX Manual (Great car to learn manual) 2005 Ford Explorer Limited (Winter SUV) (Only Auto ever bought) 1994 Mustang GT 'vert 2015 Mustang GT
  19. Vibration between 50 & 70 mph

    A little update... I took my car to the second dealership as recommended by Ford. They finally found an issue with the driveshaft, tech said "I can't believe the other dealer missed this, very obvious driveline vibration." So they replaced the DS, which fixed 95% of the problem. They didn't...
