+1 for the Michelin PS4S
Haven't tried the Continental Extreme Contacts. I've used Pirelli's P-Zero All-Seasons on my old SHO and they were awful. They would scream in pain any time I took a turn above normal traffic speeds.
If you want all-seasons I still recommend Michelin. Their Pilot...
It's not that simple. You need to factor the transmission's gear ratios:
1st = 3.24 -> 1036.8 lb-ft @ 7000, 913.7 lb-ft @ 7500
Shifting to 2nd @ 7500 rpm will start you off somewhere around 4600 RPM, coincidentally where the engine produces its peak torque. Shift any sooner and you'll put down...
I'll admit the S550 update S650 has grown on me, but not enough to buy one.
The exterior is a nice change but I still can't get over the front grill. That excess bottom black lip-gloss-plastic looks odd. Light colors make it standout in a bad way. It's like they wanted to make a bigger more...
Like others have said, not a good deal. Maybe $200 tops would be reasonable.
Buy the parts and do the filters (cabin/air) yourself. They're quick easy jobs that anyone can do.
2019. Should be no problem insuring yours!
Itās an āAgreed Valueā policy too. You decide how much your car is worth and if your car gets totaled they pay that amount out, no haggling or questions asked.
Obviously it needs to be within reason, but theyāre more reasonable than most. Just think...
Geico has been hitting us hard these past couple years (+15-20%). They wouldnāt even let a simple moving violation slide. I hadnāt got a ticket in years but they decided a 0-10 speeding citation was worth cashing in on.
Moved my Mustang to Hagerty. Better fits my use case and Iām paying less...
I keep it disabled unless I'm really tired. I never had the luxury of auto-blip downshifts when I started driving stick at 16.
Rev-matching yourself, to me, is part of learning how to drive manual. Not necessary, but more like an "advanced" skill that you can pick up. Not to be confused with...
Practicality aside I would have gotten a new Miata instead of a Si. Whole another level of fun, tossable, lightweight, low powered car that a Si can't touch. The shifting experience is excellent too.
Honda makes solid cars but personally that motor does nothing for me.
The +18 for the more rev happy Gen3 Coyote, louder stock exhaust, and beast of a 10-speed. Only get the 15-17 if you're really attached to the 1st gen look.
I initially wanted a 16 or 17, but I gave my 19 a chance and the front fascia really grew on me. Definitely better in person than photos.

No HUD was another big miss by Ford. Youāre goal was to design a fighter jet inspired interior and somehow you miss out on a key piece of cool aviation tech.
My fatherās CX-30 has one and itās look amazing along with keeping your...
Yes. Definitely worth it. Getting more camber out of the front improved the handling balance a good bit. More neutral handling and I'm not fighting mid-corner understeer anymore.
I'm not an expert but I believe the added caster you have over stock leads to more camber on turns. You might have...
I recently got an alignment from a reputable local tuning shop that has a ton of experience with these cars. Told them I wanted a setup that was good for street and canyon blasts. I have the same setup (w/ camber bolts) minus rear spacers and springs. Here's what they did:
Front
Camber -1.8...
Even if you were missing out, you're not. The horsepower bump the 18+s got is pretty much negated by the taller gear ratios in the manuals.
I've grown to love the 18s, I think the design is excellent. But I still prefer the OG S550 just a little more. Better gearing and the design is pretty...
Amen... I'm at desk for half the week, 12 hours a day, looking at 10 screens along with my phone. Driving is one of the few occasions I can take a break from that.
Right now it's a tentative "no" from me. I still strongly prefer physical gauges over an all digital dashboard. I know I'm in the minority on that.
Waiting to find out more though. Curb weight, suspension revisions, official HP numbers, and how it drives. I'm excited about the dual air boxes...
No front plate here in CO.
Never had a cop stop me for it, never been ticketed. Iāll throw it in the front window if Iām parked in an unfamiliar area on a public street. If Iām going downtown (Denver) and know Iāll be street parking, I leave the Mustang at home. Their parking people are the...
