I recently purchased a 2016 GT350 that has a pretty noisy exhaust vibration or resonance sound around 1,500-2,000 RPMS when the engine heats up above 190. The noise is most concentrated at 2,000 RPMS and occurs whether under load, decelerating, or revving from a stop. It also happens in either...

Looking at pulling the trigger on a 2016 GT350 that has about 5 months left on the powertrain warranty, and obviously the bumper to bumper is expired at this point. Does anyone know if Ford will specifically extend the powertrain warranty before it expires? If so, are Flood Ford or some of the...

I am currently leasing a 2017 Camaro SS M/T that is my daily driver, and the lease is ending in a few weeks. Given how much used car prices have gone up, I can buy my lease out for $25k and realistically sell it for $34-35k. I love the SS but have had it for three years and the GT350 is...

I'm looking at buying a used GT350 and have come across an unusually high number of 2016 GT350s that have a "lemon brand" title issue reported in the Autocheck Report that appears to be from California in each case. Is there something particular going on with these? One Midwest dealership in...

This is my first manual car and winter and snow will be here before we know it. Other than using snow/rain mode and winter tires, what are your tips on how to the manual transmission and clutch to our advantage in the snow to drive safely and not get stuck?

This Car & Driver article from July says the "House of EcoBoost has acknowledged the 2.3-liter engine’s shortcomings to a degree and is working on a software fix to unlock more power that customers will be upgraded to under warranty in the coming months." Have there been any updates on this...

I have a non-Performance Pack EB Premium model and am wondering if anyone thinks it would be possible to have some sort of local machine shop add an engine turned finish to the aluminum dash trim, similar to what the Performance Pack dash looks like. I understand the Performance Pack dash...

Does anyone here have any experience with the fit and quality of Coverking leatherette seat covers? I'd like to get a reasonably priced custom fit seat cover that I can install myself.

Is there a way to totally turn off the screen in the Premium models? I like the cabin dark when I'm driving at night, and the dim modes don't help much. Is there any way to totally turn off the screen?

The EcoBoost and the 4.6L Modular V8 Mustangs appear very similar on paper, so wondering if anyone has any actual experience or thoughts about these two in terms of straight line acceleration. Which is faster?

Does normal driving mode offer better fuel economy than Sport+ or Track Mode, all else being equal? If not, I don't really see the benefit of using normal mode. It just makes the car feel sluggish and underpowered.

This is my first turbo engine and I'd like a little bit of help in understanding when exactly the turbocharger is doing its job. I usually have the vacuum/boost gauge displayed and don't see the needle going into boost all that often during my daily drives. Does that mean the turbocharger...

No matter which gas station I go to, the pump always clicks off right away, sensing that the tank is full, unless I get the angle of the nozzle JUST right. It will do this after pumping 1/4 gallon into a nearly empty tank. I have never been able to get the auto-fill latch to work either...

I was looking at some first generation Mustangs and thinking how well they've held up over time. That got me thinking about what the sixth generation Mustang (or most other current cars) will be like in 50 years. The first generation Mustangs and other cars of the area were so simple that most...

Anyone know if the chime sound upon startup can be disabled? I find it unnecessary and annoying, especially if I'm talking to someone during startup. I didn't see anything in the manual under "chime" and I'm not sure what else it would be called.

This is my first manual car and so far I've logged about 1,000 miles of driving over a month and feel pretty good about driving manual, but wanted to ask some questions here before I develop any bad habits. The first thing is slipping the clutch, using the clutch pedal to modulate my speed...

Wondering your thoughts on using a car wash with tracks / conveyors for the wheels. I have the 20" wheels so the risk of damage to the wheels seems greater. Are these types of car washes generally safe to use in terms of not damaging the wheels?

This has happened to me a few times recently in cold weather (0-20 degrees Fahrenheit) before the car has fully warmed up. If I’m driving say in 3rd gear and approaching a stop sign, I normally hit the brakes, depress the clutch, and shift the car into first gear as I’m approaching the stop sign...

I have an EcoBoost Premium and was looking for opinions on the best sound settings (bass, treble, mid-range, etc). I've seen a thread about the base models but not the premium models. I mostly listen to rock. I'm not an audiophile by any means but the sound system to my untrained ears has been...

How much weight should I put in the trunk for driving in snow and slush? This is my first year with a RWD. Also, what do you guys use for the weight? Sand bags, kitty litter, etc. that won't take up a ton of space? If it matters, I have Continental Extreme Contact DWS all season tires on my...
