I was watching Blue Bloods 13th season and noticed that Danny Reagan now drives what looks like a 6th Gen Mustang. From one of the clips, it definitely is a V8 and a manual trans. Of course, he still drives a Dodge cop car but his personal car is the Mustang. Guess he grew up as one of the...

I'm just curious as to how many of us "old guys" are on this forum driving GTs whether boosted or plain stock NA models. I just turned 70 and a lot of the guys in my current state (soon to change) seem to be much younger (many in the 30-40 range though some are in the 20's which surprises me as...

I just got an email from Hertz saying that they have a number of cities that have the Shelby GT-H Mustang. It uses the 5.0L Coyote engine but has 450 RWHP! That's incredible! They also said the GT500-H is coming soon which is rated at over 900 RWHP! What's the deal with Hertz and Ford? They must...

I know the owner's manual specifies 150 ft/lbs for the wheel torque, but I wonder if Ford changed the studs so they're harder steel? I'm asking because the size of the stud is essentially what earlier cars and F-150 used where the F-150 was torqued to 100 ft/lbs. The thicker diameter studs used...

If I turn ACC on to listen to my radio, the system always turns off after 10 minutes. Is there a way to extend this time period in some way perhaps in some hidden engineering/dealer mode or something? It's kind of annoying to have to cycle the Start button to turn it back on every 10 minutes...

Out of curiosity, what kind of mileage are 5.0L guys getting on their oil life monitor? I'm on my original oil since new and have just over 1,900 miles on it and my oil life is at 39%. Based on that, I'm guessing my oil life will reach 0% with just over 3,100 miles on it. Is this what you guys...

I was just wondering if there's a way to calibrate the vehicle's system if you change the tire size on the car. Say, if you were to replace the stock 18" wheels with 19" and the overall diameter of the wheel and tire is smaller or larger than the original stock tires, how would you reset it so...

My GT is a base model that came with the 18" wheels with 235/50R18 Pirelli tires on it. I checked some tire dealers and they indicated that the wheels are 18x8 so I could use 255/45R18 tires on it. I'm not sure what the width of the rim is so if they're correct I could put some wider tires on...

I have a question on how to get the lowest ET for 0-60 and 1/4 mile test using TracApps. Should I have Traction Control or AdvanceTrac on or off? Or AdvanceTrac in Sport mode? I'm just thinking that if it's turned off (either one) wouldn't you just smoke the tires thus losing precious time in...

I just got a low fuel warning on my 2020 GT today saying I have 50 miles to empty. The gauge reads precisely 1/4 tank and it doesn't make sense to me. If it has a 16 gallon tank, 1/4 tank would be 4 gallons (most vehicles also have a small amount of "reserve" even after hitting empty) and my...

I'm wondering if anyone has tried to extract the engine oil through the dipstick tube? The top part of the plastic tube seems large enough but due to the sharp bend right at the beginning, I'm wondering if either a silicone or polyethylene hose (1/8" or so?) would work. I only need to draw out a...

I know that the acceleration tests in TrackApps would show ET for the 0-60mph trial. My question is if you select the 1/4 mile test, does it display both ET and speed the car hit at 1/4 mile? Just curious because the manual doesn't have details about it and I'm still breaking in the engine (only...
