  1. Aftermarket head unit with stock Volume/Tune Knob/controls?

    Are there head units that make use of the stock Volume/Tuner/Control buttons, since they're outside of the DIN/head unit space?
  2. WeatherTech Floormats: Interfere with clutch pedal?

    I live in the Pacific Northwest, and we get a lot of rain. I tend to prefer some kind of synthetic floormat in my vehicles for that reason. Some of the reviews I've read of the Weathertech floormats for the S550 say that they can get in the way of the clutch pedal to some small extent. Has...
  3. Aftermarket shift knob: Timing?

    I bought the GT350 style shift knob for my S550. What's a good way to time it so that the shift knob will be aligned properly and still screwed down as far as possible (without obstructing the reverse lockout)? For now, I put a couple nylon washers on top of the shifter handle and shaved one...
  4. H-Pipe vs Factory resonator: hugely noticeable difference with stock exhaust?

    I'm considering doing the resonator delete with an aftermarket axleback. I typically like to set myself up to re-install stock parts in the event that I sell the car. Does an aftermarket H-Pipe (or X-pipe for that matter) sound hugely discernable from a stock resonator with the stock...
  5. Can somebody give me the run-down (this vs that) comparison on short throw shifters?

    There seem to be about a half dozen or so to choose from for these cars across the various manufacturers. I've watched Youtube reviews from owners that have them, but does anybody have a synopsis about how the various short shifters compare against one another? Do any of them give a...
  6. Phone holder and placement?

    What do you guys use for a phone holder/mount? I currently use the Ram Mounts Quick-Grip with a suction mount that I mount to the windshield near the A-pillar. It holds fine in the cooler months, but it sticks worse in when its hot. Any model of holder you guys like? What mounting...
  7. Removing stock shift knob and thread pitch?

    How is the stock shift knob on S550s (2023 in this case) fastened? Is there some kind of threadlocker/adhesive? I have a shift knob from a Gen 5 I'd like to install, and from what I've ascertained, this is 12mm x 1.25. What's the thread size/pitch on the 6th gen?
  8. Wheel/tire photo database? Which wheel/tire size?

    I'm taking delivery of a 2023 GT soon. I think I might swap out the wheels/tires while the car has basically zero miles on, since I am going to re-sell the stock wheels/tires. Does anybody know where I can find some photos of other S550s with different wheel/tire combinations? What's the...
  9. Tires: Good performance in summer; still safe in the rain

    Looking for a tire recommendation. 2023 GT, will likely get a supercharger within the next year or so. Primarily just a fun DD, probably 5-10 trips down the drag strip per year, and some driving through the backroads. I'd like to a nice sticky tire for the dry months, but also still safe to...
  10. Dash cam and mounting options?

    Does anybody have a dash cam they can recommend that works well for them? Also, how did you mount/wire it? Did you go through the headliner? Through the dash? Tap into a circuit? Use OBD2?
  11. Car shipping: average turnaround time? Anything else to know?

    I'm in the process of purchasing a new GT from a dealer that's about 10ish hours from me. It's too far of a drive for me and somebody else to drive down without staying overnight at a hotel, and I will be working the next few weekends at least. I've never had a car transported before. So, I'm...
  12. Small aux LiFePO4 battery, voltage/ignition timer?

    My job necessitates that my car be something of a mobile office, so I want to mount my laptop in the car with a Ram Mounts/Gamber Johnson mount. I'd like to add a small LiFePO4 auxiliary battery so the laptop doesn't have to pull from the starting battery, and I'd like to add some kind of...
  13. Buying new car cash: Dealer wants a credit check/financing application?

    I'm negotiating the purchase of a new 2023 GT. The dealer is in a neighboring state. I told the dealer I'd be paying cash. He said he'd need to do a financing application. I asked why I'd need to do one if I am paying the entire price of the vehicle with cash. His response was that he needed...
  14. Leather seat take offs: cost to have sewn/upholstered?

    I'm about to buy a new GT that has fabric seats. I see Ebay has some leather factory take-off seat upholstry. What could a person expect to pay to have those sewn on? I live in a small town, and there's nobody that does it locally that I could find, so I'll end up having to travel to have it done.
  15. New GT and Roush supercharger warranty?

    I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a new 2023 GT. It will technically be a daily driver, but will largely be garaged during the winter months; likely be driven less than 3000 miles per year. If I decide to get a Roush supercharger, how does the warranty work? I've heard conflicting...
