I am a little confused about everyone's horror at downshifting into 1st gear as being a mortal sin. Back in 2021 I tried to get some guidance on the two types of downshifts into 1st gear for the 6 speed select shift auto and did not really get a good answer: What exactly determined if the...

I believe that is incorrect. See here: Article

Not to beat a dead horse, but does the rev marching feature of the auto especially in sport mode compensate for any of this abuse?

Well over the last few years given my habits I think I might have “money shifted” at least 4 times if I was in a manual. A couple times I test drove 2018 and beyond and it’s just not possible to have a satisfying experience using the paddles in the 10 speed. If I buy again I may consider a...

NGL. Coming down off ramps to a red I go into 2nd at 50 mph. I have heard that as long as the computer allows the shift it’s safe. I’ve only been doing this for around 40,000 miles, but so far so good. I work from home so that mitigates some of the damage.

I have aftermarket louder exhaust and I always pull the shifter to S and usually apply the paddles to downshift more aggressively than the default. I usually pull to 2nd gear once I’m below 45 and carefully brake and then pull to 1st after 25 mph in town approaching a red light to get all the...

Dark Horse about to drop Ford Mustang Dark Horse Sports Car.

So I ended up having a long random talk with ChatGPT about electric cars that have those "turbine wheels" that are ugly and that if they don't have those they lose around 5% range due to lost aerodynamics. I asked it if a comparable car like the Mustang GT would have the same benefit with the...

Looking online I think it’s the same size as the GT350 air filter. The ones I see on the popular parts stores are “washable.” Would I be better off sticking with a paper cone? Best place to buy? Thanks

The paddles are pretty good. The only time it’s slightly annoying is when going from 1st to 2nd during a turn and having to remember when the up shift is on the other side of the wheel.

In my 6 speed auto I am driving at 0 to 45 mph and 45 to 0 mph 95% of the time. When I put it in S it goes down to 4th and then I can paddle once to 3rd and then again to 2nd coming to a slow or stop and to 1st for complete stop for extra crackles and pops. When I was experimenting during the...

I appreciate the advice. I don't think anyone has commented on the volume of whine sounds. The Hellcat is famous for the whine. If I already have a loud exhaust is it safe to assume that none of the mentioned kits will compare to the Hellcat so I should just go with what I think is best?

I work from home so I don't drive that much and most of my fun is 0 - 45 mph. This seems like a fairly cost effective way to increase fun without a massive increase to expense. Anyone add on this kit to a 2015-2017 and have regrets? gas mileage is no concern as I am only on the highway 1 day...

Now I’m retroactively embarrassed. A few years back when I got the Ford performance power pack 2 I was slightly confused the dealer part shop was unable to order it when I talked to them and had to order it myself. I thought it was their product.

Yes I have the ford performance pack 2, thanks!

It happens within one half second of pressing the off button.

I just figured that was normal because it has done that ever single time since I got it, but my step dad was helping me change the oil awhile back and he seemed surprised or concerned about it, but he is a Chevy guy.

I am afraid to try now. I got the Performance Pack 2 for my 2015 gt and they even put a sticker on the gas door saying 91+. I have not tried to use regular since then.

I live in the Midwest so mine is that I am driving down a nearby country road and I see a tornado approaching and trying to out run it.

I took it to get a burrito during my lunch break and I don’t know if it’s just depression or what but for the first time I just wished I had a normal car. I'm starting to miss the Impala I had as a 2nd car. To start with just starting the mustang is a chore. In the Impala you just turned the...
