So on a road trip it was my wife's turn to drive and she did a 5-2 downshift while trying to pass (instead of 5-4). Rear wheels seemed to lock up and I yelled "clutch clutch clutch!!!!" ... I had no way of seeing the RPMs from the passenger seat, but my radar detector shows speed and it was 75...
How resistant are these cars to theft attempts? Please hold off on the "if anyone really wants your car they can find a way" posts. Thanks. I hear you. Move along. That is not the topic of this post. We know that. Thanks Einstein.
Now, someone who actually knows how the theft prevention in...
Just curious, my preference is to keep OEM-ish wheels on my car, and I like the 5-spoke 'base' Mach1 wheels. I see you can buy a set new from Ford for like $1200, with sensors but no tires. What would a used and mint (0 mile or look like 0 mile) set go for w/ the OEM tires still on them?
I'm googling, and yes, using the search feature, and I'm not finding anything. We're into the 5th year of Gen3 production and NOBODY has come up with an engine cover solution that looks better than the bat-wing monstrosity that the factory has on the engine? I mean, I don't want to look at...
Hi guys,
Just got a '22 Mustang for me and the wife as a "fun car." Well, guess what. Wife feels uncomfortable driving it, because she's afraid of the power. She also wants to get used to driving a stick until it's pure muscle memory (for me it is, it's like riding a bike, but she's never...
Gonna keep this simple, I feel like a sucker dumping so much money on shaped rubber/plastic, but I don't want to wear out my carpet. I'm known to wear holes in the carpet where my heel sits, so I want to go ahead with something harder/tougher right away. Priorities are tight, perfect fit...
Steeda H-pipe.... (on non-active exhaust car)
Sounds so good......... not sure I'd invest $1500 in a cat-back or $700 on axle-backs when it sounds this good with just an H-pipe.
Houston people -- I highly recommend this shop over in Alief. I've used them multiple times. Best prices, good...
I've been out of the performance car game for a while, and we definitely used to run drag wheels. I had a '95 Camaro Z28 with custom made Bogart racing wheels, with skinnies up front that only weighed 7lbs. Anyway, I've noticed in the forums/groups people put on drag wheels and refer to it as...
I'm interested in keeping my car in warranty... I know this is a mild performance for the dollar, but I'm curious as to whether we think this kit will be available for the 2022 given the evident changes in emissions requirements?

I'm looking for a thin, but durable key fob cover for the 2022 GT key fob (same as 2018+ I guess). I've found some cool ones made of TPU and in a similar color to the car's paint, but they have an oval hole for a Ford logo and that's not what's on the Mustang fob (running horse). Anyone have...
Ordered 11/24/21 -- built 1/10/22 -- at dealership 1/21/22 -- in my driveway 1/22/22....
Might or might not be the first 2022 Grabber Blue Metallic built? Is there a way to find out production numbers that are this specific? Doesn't really matter, just curious.
Anyway, the car is here. We...
Considering a personalized plate for my incoming 2022... it'll be Grabber Blue, GT, 6spd. Wife wants to call it "Cookie Monster"... couldn't think of anything with "COOKIE" that wasn't already taken in Texas and anything abbreviated as CK or COOK or KOOK, etc. could be misconstrued, haha. I'd...
EDIT: If possible, can we delete this thread? I posted inaccurate info and now that I have my car I know that the one on the eft is NOT the Black Accent wheel. Sorry for causing an issue with inaccurate info. Please delete.
Left is the Black Accent Package wheels (2021-22) and right is...
Hi guys,
Looking to do mild and factory-looking mods on my incoming '22. It's a base GT w/ Black Accent Package (so black 19" wheels, black trim pieces, black roof). Would a factory (or replica) GT350 spoiler look ridiculous if the car is otherwise basically stock? Looking for the most...
TL;DR -- I've been a car nut since early childhood, got "hooked" on manual transmission cars, and my experience has been that manual is fun (no matter how much or little power), and automatic is boring (regardless of power). But I see a lot of people are buying A6/A10 S550's and I'd like to...
In search of 2015 GT driver's side air bag (steering wheel bag). With or without wheel, depending on price.
Location, preferably East/Southeast or Central Texas, unless willing to ship.
Thanks.
I know it's only been a week since I put in my 2022 order, but I'm already antsy about getting updates from Ford. How long do you think it'll be before they email me with an estimated production date?
My order is not a special model nor is it a "late availability" option car. It's a base GT...
Just doing a head to head comparison, adjusted for inflation, a base GT isn't particularly insane in its price (in today's market). In 2000 I paid $24,000-ish for a new Camaro Z28 w/ T-tops, 6spd T56 (w/ Hurst option), 10-disc CD "Monsoon" audio, etc. Adjusted for inflation that puts it on the...
Hi guys,
Ordering a 2022 GT (6spd regular GT w/ black accent package and 301A, Grabber Blue). I'm bummed to read about the 10hp power loss on the coyote. Anyone know *exactly* what they are changing on the engine? Will any of it, most importantly, affect the compatibility with aftermarket...
