  1. Damaged my wheel, what's the best way to fix it?

    I've called a few places, they all say they won't be able to match the black finish.
  2. Damaged my wheel, what's the best way to fix it?

    I got a little sideways on a rainy day and brushed a concrete barrier with one of my rear wheels. Was lucky not to damage anything else! This is one of the black (painted?) 2016 GT Performance Package rims. Is this feasible to have repaired or should I just order a new one? Anyone know...
  3. Mustang 2017 EcoBoost with PP - Manual Notchy Gears

    I have a totally stock 2016 GTPP and I think the shifter is fantastic. I love the feeling of the gears engaging as you move it into position. If that's what people mean by "notchy", then I guess I like notchy shifters! Come to think of it, I loved the transmission on my old BMW 325Ci...
  4. Good everyday shop in South Bay?

    Just moved to Sunnyvale from Colorado with my 2016 GTPP. Working in downtown Mountain View. Looking for a good shop close to home or work for oil changes, tire mounting, alignment, etc. Any recommendations?
  5. Dealer topped off my coolant with tap water - what to do?

    So I recently drove across the country in my 2016 GTPP and found myself a little low on oil. I stopped at the nearest Ford dealer to buy a quart. They were actually very helpful and topped off my oil for free from their bulk container, which they assured me contained Motorcraft 5W20...
  6. NEW SYNC 3.0 Build 20204 Nav Android Auto/Apple Carplay

    I doubt they have any ulterior motive. It's just not a priority for them - after all, they've already sold you a car and got your money. I'm sure it will be released eventually. I know there have been some parts availability issues with Carplay stuff - Porsche has a bunch of cars being held...
  7. Disable rev-matching on upshifts?

    You're talking about something different, which I've noticed too. It is slow to drop RPMs when the engine is cold. This is actually okay with me, because the engine is one of the fastest to reach operating temperature that I've ever owned. What I'm talking about is how it will completely...
  8. Disable rev-matching on upshifts?

    My 2016 GTPP will match RPMs as I'm upshifting, e.g. engine speed will hang at the correct RPM for the next gear. I know there is no setting I can change to turn this off, but is there any way to have the dealer disable this with a factory programming tool or something?
  9. Found a tune that Ford can't detect!!!

    I know the elevation tune very well! I live at 7,000 feet in Colorado. I've taken a road trip to Las Vegas (elevation there is about 1,500 feet I think) and it's like a whole new car. It felt so slow when I got back to CO I was worried something was wrong with it. Been thinking about getting...
  10. What is this on the front bumper

    In addition to the normal purpose (towing), I think they also screw a bracket in there and use it to tie down the car when it is being shipped by ocean.
  11. Will the V8 still be offered in a few years?

    I don't need to imagine it, the 2017 Raptor has a twin-turbo V6. Seems pretty obvious that engine will end up in the Mustang.
  12. So is anyone worried their hood is going to break free?

    I have a 2016 GTPP. Read about the hood shake on here before the car arrived and so I've kept my eye out for it. Never noticed anything more than a little flex in the sheet metal when passing a truck on the highway.
  13. How to calculate HP at higher altitude?

    If you don't change anything mechanical on the car, I think the ratio is the same. However, with a supercharger you can change the pulley so as to produce more boost at altitude to make up for the thinner air.
  14. Mustang "color" registry - do you belong to one?

    I don't get it. If you have some kind of rare, special edition, that's one thing, but "Gray Mustang Registry"? There are about five zillion gray Mustangs out there. Who cares?
  15. Corporate salaries at Ford are out of control and the reason for shitty QC

    Ford made $10,800,000,000 in profit. His salary is about 0.2% of that. Put another way, he made $10 for each vehicle Ford sold in 2015. Eliminating his salary would have reduced the price of your Mustang by $10. The world is not as simple as you seem to think it is.
  16. RPM slow to drop when cold?

    Stock 2016 GTPP. I notice RPMs drop very slowly when the car is cold. When I'm just slowly leaving my neighborhood in the morning, it messes up my timing for shifting smoothly. My previous MT cars all dropped faster when cold. Is this some kind of emissions / warmup thing?
  17. PP Clutch in City Traffic

    The clutch is very light and no issue at all. The car is very easy to drive in city traffic. The abundant torque is a big help, it's actually easier to drive than my old BMW 325Ci.
  18. Supercharger height and strut tower brace?

    Been thinking about a supercharger for my GTPP. Leaning towards a roots or twin screw setup for the torque advantages over a centrifugal setup. Probably a Whipple. Not looking to compete on road courses or drag strips, just looking for an enjoyable summer DD/road trip car and trying to make...
  19. How bad is it if I smell very mild burning...

    I have 2500 miles on mine and it still gives off the "new car burn-in" smell occasionally. All my new cars have done this.
  20. Siri not working

    Did the button on the steering wheel activate Siri immediately, or did it require a long press? My 2016 has required a long press to activate Siri since I got it - a short press just brings up the Sync voice prompt. If yours used to do it immediately, try holding the button down for a few...
