  1. So what did your Dealer give you when you purchased your new S550?

    They drove the new Mustang to my house and they drove my trade-in back to the dealership.
  2. So what did your Dealer give you when you purchased your new S550?

    Nothing but they did as I asked - didn’t wash it, sticker etc. nicely saved, drove it 1.5 hours to my house and drove my trade-in back to the dealership.
  3. Money being no object....

    Replaced the Mini Cooper with a 2019 GT Premium in Race Red. Pretty darn good car. And nothing screams 67 year old semi-retired guy better than a red Mustang convertible. We moved from MA to our place in Maine spring of 2018. Only problem is that most of my favorite tracks are now 3 hours...
  4. Money being no object....

    That you, Paolo?
  5. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    CarPros (which sells CQuartz) has good instructions, including prep. Like all coatings, it’s the prep that’s critical. Suggest you consider using their prep products and instructions for best result. Not shilling for them - just super impressed with their quality and results after doing my 2019...
  6. Rear seat covers - yes, I have a dog

    Well, one year on, I finally went to install the WeatherTech rear seat cover for my 2019 convertible. It’s a generic cover (not specific to the Mustang) and didn’t work at all. The cover needs a well-defined headrest to hook onto; no way is the convertible rear seat headrest workable...
  7. Anyone else drive like a granny?

    Ugh, how embarrassing. I pussy foot around my local roads (nothing but local roads here in mid-coast Maine) which are pretty bumpy and narrow. And no traffic so you can’t hide in a crowd of cars (not that I prefer traffic!). So fun driving but only at the speed limit. Another thing - once I...
  8. Calling all Adam's users

    Ah, that kind of ā€˜got to save money’!
  9. Calling all Adam's users

    If saving money is critical, maybe make your own glass cleaner from vinegar and water?
  10. Washing convertible top

    Good thing I have you folks to remind me to protect the rear window and other areas with plastic and painters tape. I used plastic trash bags (unused of course) Coated the top with 303 after a vacuum (top was clean following covered winter storage) and it came out great.
  11. First track day, first crash day

    Exactly Track day insurance covers physical damage to the car and does not duplicate your street insurance, which usually will not cover track events. True that track day insurance usually does not have a liability option, but if you are driving with a reputable event organizer the liability...
  12. How are the 2018/19 performance pack 1 tires?

    Great tire but summer use only. Not a happy tire in cold weather and definitely not in snow. My race shop recommended them for my damp track tires on my Cayman. That’s how good they are.
  13. Winter prep

    We used to fill the tank in the Porsche’s (and the boat) but with crappy gas the shop and yard are not as eager. So I think you are ok with adding stabilizer but make sure you run the motor long enough to circulate it throughout the fuel system (10 minutes?).
  14. Roux helmets

    Sounds obvious but sometimes it’s forgotten. When I bought the Stilo it took 1/2 hour of trying various combinations of cheek pads to get it right. If I had bought online I might never have gotten it right, so some of the race supply retailers are real good about allowing returns. The Roux for...
  15. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    Finally FINALLY washed my car for the first time more than 3 months after delivery. We have well water and it’s very salty, we’ve been installing a reverse osmosis system most of that time. Took way longer than expected, during which I’m dying to wash and ceramic the car. Surprisingly stayed...
  16. Dealing w/ Dealer Finance Mgr - Please share your experiences

    I didn’t and I won’t (deal with the finance guys). Car was delivered to me and they drove my trade in back to the dealership - 80 miles each way. Was kind of nice to just buy a car. Dealt from the start with the sales manager, I think he realized I wasn’t a fan of the usual song and dance. Good...
  17. Roux helmets

    I bought a Roux helmet at my last track visit (VIR). I like the fit a lot and that it includes comms, cooling, and eject system. I moved from Stilo, which I also liked a lot. Fit is critical for any helmet, and since the nearest race shop is a long ways from me, buying at VIR was appealing. Hope...
  18. Wondering where I might find the torque curve for 2019 GT

    Still wondering where I can find a graph of the torque curve. Thanks
  19. Wondering where I might find the torque curve for 2019 GT

    Searched without success for a graph showing the torque curve for a 2019 GT w/PP1 and manual transmission Thanks
  20. Disabling the Rev Match feature

    Easy to find in the menu but of course I can’t recall each step. But looking for it will help you learn how to work through the menus. I don’t use rev match mostly because heel/toe is necessary for my race car (not a Mustang ) and I don’t want to degrade my muscle memory. Might turn it back on...
