  1. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    Welp, I finally replaced the factory battery for my 16 delivered Sept 30, 2015; almost 8 years on it. Got in today and absolutely nothing. No fuel pump, no solenoid, no lights. Once I got a new battery installed I noticed I left a map light on inside, so it's possible a charge could have...
  2. [Solved]

    He probably just assumed nothing's changed since the 15-17s. I know if I put exactly 8 in mine it's about in the middle of the good zone on the dipstick. If I put 8.5 it would probably be right at the top of the zone. With the 18+ needing 10 qts, if they put in 8.5 in and your dipstick reads...
  3. Ford Recall 2015-2017 mustangs for Backup Camera Issues

    I assume all of us who already had it fixed under warranty won't need to go in again. My backup stopped displaying several years ago, so I brought it in, and they replaced the wiring through the trunk and changed from a soft nylon sleeve to hard plastic. Clearly wasn't my dealer's first rodeo
  4. New 2021 Mustang 5.0 owner

    For #3, I just use a WeatherTech CupFone and run the charging cable to the USB port in the center console (there's even a little notch so you can close the lid without pinching the cable). But I also almost always drive by myself, so if you have a need for both cupholders, this wouldn't be ideal.
  5. Antibody have issues with polarized sunglasses?

    I don't get rainbows on the windshield and don't have any problems with the instrument cluster (don't have the digital dash being a 16) or infotainment, but I do get rainbows/oil slick if I wear polarized sunglasses with the visor down on my helmet for track days. So I have a separate pair of...
  6. Preferences

    As far as the creature comforts go, I had a rental with a heated steering wheel and it's going to be a must for my next car. Wearing 20 layers in the dead of winter, it takes heated seats a while to burn through all those layers, so by that point the engine is warm and I can just run the heat...
  7. What pizza do S550 people like

    Of the choices listed, I picked deep dish, but Chicago thin crust is my actual favorite. Cracker-thin crispy crust, tavern cut, with sausage. Deep dish is the special occasion, take out your tourist friends pizza. Chicago thin is the pizza you get on a regular basis.
  8. 15-17 manual key fob cover?

    I have the one linked below; it's served me well since the fob started pulling open all the time, but I don't want to superglue it together and lose access to the backup key. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L21QCC0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  9. SHELBY COST AT DEALERSHIP

    It seems to depend on the dealer, but the coasts seem to get it worse with the ADM. The dealer near me doesn't do ADM, but he will hold firm at sticker for the high-demand stuff.
  10. Stuffin’ it, a.k.a.: What’s the most you’ve ever packed into your Mustang?

    Last 4th of July weekend I pretty much filled the trunk and back seats with fireworks (bill of lading said 230 lbs worth, 7 cases/37 cakes), suitcase behind the passenger seat, big tote bag with more fireworks equipment and some snack foods on the passenger seat case of bottle water and 2 cases...
  11. Save battery message

    I'd suggest taking a big roundabout drive to the store to get it fully warmed up and then some, and see if it goes away. I get this if it's been sitting for a few weeks (I got it when I got back from 3 weeks out of town over Christmas), but it doesn't come back after the first drive. And I'm...
  12. 2021 gt dealership allotment

    The dealership should know when you go in. I ordered my 16 in June 2015, and they told me the only new option for my build was the silver PP wheels.
  13. Another recall for Ford

    My 2016 was repaired under warranty because the soft nylon around the wiring chafed from opening and closing the trunk, and they replaced it with hard plastic.
  14. Has anybody with a stock PP1 car driven it on Rhino ramps in reverse?

    Plenty of room. You can see how much daylight I have in front.
  15. S550 Road Tripping (Leave your long distance pros and cons)

    The longest I've driven in one day is 9 hours/630 mi. Filled up on the way out of town, and then only had to fill up once, about 30 miles into the return trip. Averaged over 25 mpg for the trip with 3.73 gears. A few cons I've noticed during that and other trips: the Recaro seats have no lumbar...
  16. Best all around summer tire for the GT - Street / Handling

    PS4S is probably the best if price is no issue. I have the Continental ExtremeContact Sport which are fantastic, rate about even with the old Pilot Super Sport, but are a good deal cheaper. Good in the dry, good in the wet, even manage to be driveable if we get a morning in the upper 30s before...
  17. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    One year to the day since the last one (only about 5,600 mi). 5 quarts, right?
  18. Ford Dealers are Terrible

    Yes, they sent it to the best body shop in town. Matches perfectly. It's been over a year and a half and no corrosion <fingers crossed>. They also cleared the underside of the hood, so it's glossy. I took the liner off to show off the Mustang logo, so the gloss is sort of a unique feature of my...
  19. Ford Dealers are Terrible

    Yeah, in 2018 I noticed the paint bubbling on the underside all the way at the front. Ford warrantied it and the dealer coordinated with a local body shop to paint and install it. Mustang hood corrosion has been a thing at least since 2005. I heard a theory that since they're the only aluminum...
