  1. Impulse buy: stripes! Optional/factory style vinyl GT stripe kit going on. Any advice?

    I just saw this kit on sale for ~$180 shipped and I thought....why not? They look pretty much right on compared to the factory stripes...Every time I see an '18 body style Mustang with these stripes, it turns my head. So, we'll see how much I actually like them on my own car. The price was...
  2. The Coyote has been around for over a decade. We still don’t know what causes the “tick?!”

    I picked up my 2011 GT Brembo 6spd in August of 2010 and it quickly became one of my favorite cars I had ever driven. I traded it in with 40k back in early 2020 when the pandemic deals made a new S550 GT impossible to resist. The only problem I ever had with the S197 was the damn “tick.” My...
  3. Worried about cooling in lightly modded base GT for casual track days

    My car is a 2020 GT 6MT base trim (300A?). The mod list isn't anything extreme but I am pondering the Track Night In America events and I would greatly appreciate it if the motor survived and went on to live a long life even after a few events. I don't expect extreme racing conditions but I...
  4. Oh boy. Recall required software update "failed." The next day, car (coincidentally?) throws an unrelated CEL, goes into limp mode

    Relevant info about my: It's a 2020 GT, 6spd, 300A package, Ford Racing CAI/TB/Calibration, 4.09 axle ratio, and lots of other mods but nothing else that seems like it could be related. Yesterday, I had my car in the shop for an oil change and to finally have the recall (from May 27th, 2022)...
  5. Is anyone else in northern climates just getting their S550 out of hibernation? How does it feel?

    Any other long suffering northerners here? Have you begun your annual ritual of reviving your hot rod? I know that Mustangs can be safely driven in winter weather and plenty of you guys do just that. In fact this was my original plan for my car until a little hatchback fell into my hands and...
  6. New 1/8 scale RC car body 2021 S550

    In the likely event that some of you gear heads are also RC car nuts, this may be of interest... Proline is a company that puts out quite a few different clear lexan RC car body shells. They just started offering a new shell that represents the 2018+ body quite well with some liberties taken...
  7. Connecticut SVE SP2 19x10 and 19x11 with tires CONNECTICUT $1950

    EDIT: Wheels are on hold. I'll update ASAP. Looks like these are all sold out on LMR. This is a lightly used set of four SVE SP2 wheels. Gloss graphite paint, 19x10 fronts, 19x11 rear with Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires. Sizes are 285/35/19 and 325/30/19. They have roughly 4K miles...
  8. What do you think about GT/Ecoboost/V6 Mustangs with stripes? Poseurish? Tacky?

    My car is a base 2020 GT. I've done a ton of mods (by my standards) since buying it, nearly making it a PP2 minus the Magneride...visually, it's pretty tame with dark wheels and OEM only spoilers, etc. So I really like the optional "racing stripes" and I have only ever seen ONE car in person...
  9. First autocross with the 2020 base GT (6spd, 4.09 ratio, Ford Track suspension)

    I have been dying to autocross the Mustang since I picked it up last year. Even with the base GT model/rental spec suspension, the car felt much more responsive and well balanced than it has any right to be. Prior to my Mustangs, I had a pair of dearly missed Miatas in various states of tune...
  10. Jason Camisa Know it All: Manuals are geared to lose

    This whole series is great but this one struck a chord…worth a watch for us manual transmission acolytes.
  11. 2020 GT 6spd: First trip to the dragstrip with 4.09 gears

    So let me preface this by saying that this was my first trip to the drag strip ever. I've autocrossed many times and engaged in street shenanigans for a couple decades now but this was my first time on an actual drag strip. I've always loved watching and reading about drag racing but I never...
  12. Quick Question - Performance pack gauges + trim panel - compatibility across all model years?

    Hunting around for a GT PP dash for my base 2020 GT. Lots of options turn up for the earlier S550 models but so far I haven't been able to verify that the gauges that came out of an earlier car will fit into a later car. Does anyone know for sure? Were there changes to the finish/pattern over...
  13. Auto Rim Shop: Avoid.

    I have been unhappy with the graphite color of the SVE SP2 wheels with my Kona Blue car so I set out to get a set of real PP2 wheels, weight be damned. The best deal that I found was a “refurbished” set through Auto Rim Shop…I didn’t need them to be flawless and they made promises about the...
  14. Best procedure for removing stock blade style spoilers?

    So I bought a PP2 spoiler finally! It’s on the way through eBay now...before anyone asks, of course I paid a lot for it. Not out of line with the going price. But I definitely didn’t get a great deal. I was tired of waiting for one to fall into my hands and there is always a tax on...
  15. RACING NUMBERS: Your pics? Request for dimensions/source for magnetic racing numbers

    Does anyone care to share pics of their S550 sporting racing numbers? The local autocross club just got back to me confirming my number...and I'm psyched to get the numbers made up. It's probably a bit childish to want to make your car looking like a "race car" but I never claimed to be a...
  16. Connecticut RTR 19x9.5 charcoal with tires -$700

    These are real RTR wheels, not clones! The wheels are in nice shape, they do fit over 6 piston Brembos. There is minor curb rash on one wheel, a few chips and nicks elsewhere. No major damage or bends ever. Tires should have a season left in them. They are Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 285/35/19...
  17. Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 instead of MPS4S- will I be disappointed?

    I've been waiting for the 325/30/19s MPS4S tires to come off of backorder before getting them mounted up on the new wheels... but in the meantime, I splurged on another performance mod...so the idea of saving about 25% of the cost on a set of tires is suddenly more appealing. The Firestone...
  18. 2018+ people: anyone else interested in a Mach1 style grille?

    I’m loving the grille on the Mach1. I just think it looks cool, maybe because it reminds me of the S197 Boss 302. In any case, this is one rare visual-only mod that I would love to add to my car. Anyone else? I always prefer to stick with OEM stuff but what are the chances that Ford will make...
  19. Base suspension + Sticky tires + Autocross = disaster?

    At my second or third autocross event (many moons ago) someone rented a Focus hatch to run at the event. They had mounted their own set of slicks just for laughs or whatever...the result was that the guy actually rolled the car on the course, on flat pavement. The driver was fine, aside from...
  20. Base to PP1 brake swap - what’s this bracket for?

    The swap is a piece of cake. The hardest part was finding the dust shields in stock. In addition to the bracket that secures the line to the body of the car, there is ametal bracket on the brake line that the base brakes didn’t have. Where does this connect? Thanks
