  1. Just How Important Is the Traction Control?

    I don't feel any difference in acceleration response or stiffness in Track over Sport. Because it doesn't seem to gain me anything I never use Track. What confuses me is I can use the TC toggle switch below the climate controls and get the display between the gauges to give me a dialog box...
  2. Why did Ford rush the 2018 facelift?

    I prefer the 15-17's front, and side silhouette.
  3. Normal vs. Sport Mode = totally different car

    You have the 400A, if you have leather seats but not the padded center tunnel. (That's the only thing in the 401A level that I would've liked to have on mine.)
  4. Normal vs. Sport Mode = totally different car

    Yes. Dunno for the Ecoboost but there's 300A and 301A for the GT, and 400A and 401A for the GT Premium. The lowest trim level gets you only 3 toggles, for hazard lights, traction control, and steering mode. Step up to the 301A and you get drive modes, and a 4th toggle for controlling it. You...
  5. Normal vs. Sport Mode = totally different car

    To my ear Track adds the bass that Sport is missing. But it does drone at 2K RPM. Oh well, you can't have everything I guess. The Bullitt exhaust is probably tuned differently. I don't like the body roll in Normal so since they've actually repaved the streets around here I typically go to Sport...
  6. Normal vs. Sport Mode = totally different car

    No kidding. And why is the steering mode locked down in every drive mode except Normal. It may be weird but while I think the enhanced throttle response is kinda gimmicky, I do like the muted one. I don't have MyModes but if I did and everything was independent like it should be I would have...
  7. The digital dash conundrum:(

    For a V8 Mustang, I guess partly for nostalgia, and to have it while I still could, I wanted: * Analog gauges * Third pedal * Parking brake lever I.e. I want it to be "car", I guess in the traditional sense. In the future my driverless personal transport will have a digital dash and electronic...
  8. Rant time...what's the worst thing about your Mustang?

    I get why, and now that I think about it maybe they should've done that with the radio too. But I wish it was skipped if you turn it back on within a few seconds. After I park I gotta switch out of my prescription sunglasses, grab my cell phone from under the center stack and jam it in my...
  9. Rant time...what's the worst thing about your Mustang?

    Only 9750 miles on it so far so no. Ford maintenance schedule says do that after every 20K miles. I think I'm finding that I only get the stench in recirc mode, and not when fresh air is flowing in thru the cabin filter. At some point when things get back to normal I'm gonna definitely want...
  10. Rant time...what's the worst thing about your Mustang?

    This summer the A/C system constantly turning recirc mode back on, every single time I start up the car, has been pretty annoying. I don't get it, it remembers my temp and fan speed and vent settings and everything else, but it insists on closing off outside air. Why not just let it do its...
  11. Car got a little smushed

    Way cooler than a Mustang, dude. See: :crazy:
  12. Does your Mustang's seat lumbar support suck?

    My "backjoy". Why does a fifty thousand dollar car need this.
  13. Does your Mustang's seat lumbar support suck?

    I've had my car almost a year now and I'm still monkeying with the seating position. The seats look nice but they aren't comfortable. I think for me the bottom of the back angles in too much, and the lumbar is too high up. After having my lower back spasm up at the gym a week ago, suddenly...
  14. GT performance package

    MagneRide may keep the car more planted but there's still more body roll than I had hoped for. The $4K I paid for PP1 (for MY2019) is sort of worth it to me for enabling me to get the adaptive suspension, but had I not opted for the latter I wouldn't be feeling too good for what I got for $4K...
  15. Reese's Pieces in the front defroster vent...

    Oh sure, they come out the sunglasses compartment, the vents dispense one candy per click on that little drawer. :wink:
  16. Gas tank hard to fill

    Arg, my closest reasonably priced station has springs strong enough to pop the nozzle back out while it's filling. A beauty of a design decision. I refuse to stand their like a jackhole pushing against the thing the whole time so I have to bunch the hose up in such a way that it's pushing off...
  17. New Getrag MTI550 manual gearbox- coming to Mustang?

    Increasing numbers of gears might surpass my ability to discern finely enough when to go to what exactly. Like when I used to golf, I had only odd numbered irons, and wouldn't know when to choose say a 6 iron over a 5 or 7. That and my hamfisted self is used to 3rd and 4th being directly up...
  18. 2020 GT Exhaust Drone

    Eerily quiet, until you put your foot into it. Then it just opens back up. I was hoping I could drive like a crazed teenager but not sound like it sometimes, but no dice. On drone there is some in Track mode. Around town I prefer Track since there's more bass, it sounds more full to me...
  19. Ford Service Center Quick To Point Out Mods / Bring Up Warranty

    The impression I think one gets from this place is that the mt82 is garbage and the 10r80 is something from heaven. The truth is probably both are really decent transmissions, but not perfect. I didn't drive the auto so don't take my word for it, but for me I'd heard of somewhat violent shifts...
