Based on some of the stuff I've seen Charger owners participate in, I'd say that's an accurate assumption.

Has the electronic column lock on the S550 been shown to not work?

You speaking from experience on that? I wasn't even aware the Mopars had an electronic column lock. Also my understanding is that the Charger/Challenger are susceptible to key signal spoofing (and just engaging the transmission emergency release on the automatics and being pushed away/loaded...

Curious to see part of what is now simply called the Security Package deleted (the electronic steering column lock). I'm guessing this is due to either cost cutting or the chip shortage. Same with LED fogs on the Ecoboost premium. Wouldn't stop me from ordering a car, just kinda surprised to...

The pics of the updated GT/CS and the new Stealth Edition are in what I think is Atlas Blue and it honestly kinda reminds me of Sonic Blue (from the early 00s). This is not a bad thing.

I would go for a second set of wheel and tires for winter.

Just looked up Exploders on cars.com to see Atlas Blue and it doesn't look bad, but you're right, it's not as vibrant as Velocity Blue is/was.

So, a combination of Pirelli (Presumably) giving Ford a better price, coupled with supply issues on Michelin's end?

Aw, they got rid of Velocity Blue. I really liked that color. Curious to see what Atlas Blue looks like in the flesh. Also not gonna lie, 'Cyber Orange' looks very much like a yellow to my eyes.

Was looking at a few new GT PP cars on Autotrader and I noticed they're shod with Pirelli P Zeros instead of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Is this due to supply constraints or have the Pirellis always been a possibility for GT PP cars after the refresh (I seem to remember Car and Driver...

Those sound like something you'd see in a Mopar brochure.

Too rough to live with, regardless of application. I remember reading tests of the E60 M5 (the V10 car) and the consensus was that it was just a little too rough to live with (shifted too fast or too slow, depending on mode). Ferrari used sequentials in their 'base' MR cars for a while (355, 360...

I mean, if we're being honest, most top-tier motorsports series haven't had H-pattern manuals for some time: F1 started switching to sequential gearboxes en-masse in the early 90s (hell, by the middle of that decade, if you still had an H-pattern manual, you were at the back of the grid)...

I'll be one of the contrarians and say I'd probably go for the auto. Stick shift and I have a...complicated relationship. Every MT car I've driven (99% of which have been for work; I fix cars for a living) has felt like it was a chore to drive, rather than fun. OTOH, 99% of the MT cars I've...

Speculators. Happens whenever a new factory hot rod comes out. Viper, GNX, the Cobra Rs...

Eh...valid point, I suppose. I rarely open my glove box.

IIRC Mercedes also does this (and has been doing so for a while IIRC, if I remember my old brochures correctly) so it's not exactly a new idea.

So it precharges the braking system if it sees pressure come off the accelerator in a hurry?

So the PPL2 IS gone . Huh. Kinda makes sense with the Mach 1 coming on, though. What exactly is Dynamic Brake Support? Has that been detailed yet? Also, sad to see the illuminated glove box gone. My Fusin has that and it's a nice feature to have.

Fair enough. Here's where I talked with the guy, which was before that Autoweek report came out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ford_Mustang_(sixth_generation)#D2C_or_S550?
