  1. Chris Harris did not like the GT350R!

    Chris Harris is a British snob that predominantly drives German cars. We have elitist Americans here in Seattle that aspire to be exactly like him. They pretend to love soccer, only drink IPAs and German beers that cost $15 a pint, and they absolutely hate anyone that tells them their Ford or...
  2. So thinking of trading the Mustang....

    You can get the AMG C63 in a convertible as well. I would go this route over the BMWs. It has to have a V8 in it or I won‘t drive it.
  3. Ford Mustang November 2020 Sales Figures, GT350 and GT500 Increased 33%

    I’m glad I bought my 2020 GT350 in August before the discontinuation announcement by Ford. My older brother wants one now that he’s ridden in mine, but he can’t find a new one that’s not marked up 20%. We’re in agreement that the 2019/2020 GT350/R is the “perfect Mustang” that we had always...
  4. Irresponsible driving = crashed Shelby

    75% of the fastest domestic sports cars ever built were purchased by some jackwagon that turned it into a telephone pole coozie within two weeks of purchase. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. Just think of all the parts this guy will be donating to the junk yard for us. Besides, the more they...
  5. Post your pictures of how Ford doesn't give a crap

    For high-end Japanese sports cars, the engines and transmissions are made in Japan by meticulous Japanese workers who take pride in their work. As well they should, because they make 99% of the parts going into the car. They’re not just assembling other people’s crap. The Ford Getrag...
  6. Mach 1 a higher performer than the 350?

    PP2 Brembos, though, and not the GT350 brakes. Depending on your use, a brake upgrade may be in order If you’re going to track it.
  7. 2021 Mach 1 Pricing Announced and Order Bank Opens

    A bit off topic, but that’s interesting. Blocking data from the TCU (telematic control unit) would get rid of GPS and vehicle sensor data, which is generally what insurance companies and Ford would be after if they were looking to void your warranty. I know data on the RCM (restraints control...
  8. 2021 Mach 1 Pricing Announced and Order Bank Opens

    My older brother has that same problem with his local Ford dealers in Indiana. He’s had more than one “warranty party” where he bought a keg of beer and had several buddies come over to help him reassemble the car back to stock before taking it in for a warranty claim. He’s managed to get a...
  9. 2021 Mach 1 Pricing Announced and Order Bank Opens

    I know it’s different from dealer to dealer, but the service tech at my local Ford dealer has told me repeatedly they’d honor the powertrain warranty so as long as I hadn’t modified anything on the powertrain. I’ve upgraded suspension components on all three of my past Shelby‘s and had TSB...
  10. 2021 Mach 1 Pricing Announced and Order Bank Opens

    Just looked it up, and you are correct. Good catch. The Mach 1 gets six piston Brembos up front and the PP2 single piston rear caliper — the Mach 1 does not receive the GT350 Brembos, nor would the GT with the 67G package. Yes, indeed, you’d be better off going straight to aftermarket components.
  11. 2021 Mach 1 Pricing Announced and Order Bank Opens

    My post was regarding value of a track focused car for the 2021 model year. I haven’t noticed enough of a difference in lap times between the GT350 and GT350R at the track. The R has higher damping rates. Theoretically, it should help. In reality, many of us are running stiffer springs, so...
  12. 2021 Mach 1 Pricing Announced and Order Bank Opens

    I thought about that. Package 96B gets you Magneride, which is worth it if you don’t plan on turning your car into a dedicated track car. Package 67G gets you Brembo brakes — same fronts as the GT350 but smaller rears. These should work pretty well on the track. Again, just thinking about...
  13. Ford... What is your problem? GT500 owners, you need to read these quality control issues...

    Detroit is a ghost town. They moved everything to Mexico. The GT500 engine block is cast in Windsor, Canada. The now defunct/disbanded Alpha Romeo line in Michigan is where your engine was assembled by a small group of Americans using parts sourced from foreign countries. The Tremec...
  14. 2021 Mach 1 Pricing Announced and Order Bank Opens

    If it wasn’t for the Chinese-made Getrag transmission in the 2021 Mustang GT, I’d say the GT with the “96B” Magneride package with the “67G” Performance Package would be a better value for a track focused car when compared to the Mach 1. Both cars need a square 19x11 setup for the track, so the...
  15. It's official now... GT350 and GT350R production ends this Fall

    Personally, I'd go German. But to each his own.
  16. It's official now... GT350 and GT350R production ends this Fall

    I’m not sure why that is. Aristocracy isn’t much different than an authoritarian dictatorship. It’s just been around longer. I’ve noticed a misguided belief among my fellow Americans that Canada is somehow a democracy. They don’t elect the highest members of their government. The Queen of...
  17. It's official now... GT350 and GT350R production ends this Fall

    ”The engines were first produced in Romeo, Michigan then additional capacity was added in Windsor, Ontario.” — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Modular_engine The Romeo Michigan line has or will be closed soon. —...
  18. It's official now... GT350 and GT350R production ends this Fall

    The Mach 1 isn’t an American car. It’s about as American as a Mexican VW Jetta. The transmissions are from Mexico. The engines are from Canada. Final assembly is in Flat Rock where a robot paints the chassis and an American auto worker sticks a few decals on it. It’s been said since 2015...
  19. It's official now... GT350 and GT350R production ends this Fall

    GM is reportedly developing a 5.5L flat-plane crank V8 for the 2022 C8 Z06 Corvette. Unifor just signed a deal with Ford to build the new 6.8L v8 at their Windsor Essex plant, which will reportedly be used in the F-150 and Mustang. Bigger Coyote motor, maybe? So there are at least two new V8s...
