I was looking at the Ford Performance intake kit. Supposed to boost low end torque. Are you in disagreement with that Tree frog?

As someone who owned a Lexus before my GT premium (and has sat in many other luxury vehicles), I'm not quite sure what makes you say that. I think for the price, the leather is fantastic. I'd say it's better feeling than BMW leather, even.As a summer toy you won't miss any options. Leather quality is poor. Can get red seats any time. Magneride is poor VS GM and others.
Um wut. Less reliable trans? By all accounts I've ever heard, the Tremec is WAY more reliable than the Getrag... That trans is half the reason to get a Mach 1 over a GT w/ manual. And when you add all the options that are standard in the Mach 1 to a GT, the price difference becomes minimal, then there's the small handful of unavailable-to-the-GT, go-fast bits the Mach 1 comes with standard... Mach 1 is still a bit more than it would cost in an ideal world IMO, but the price is very justifiable.How?! Performance is comparable to PP2 car at much higher cost with trans that is less reliable
The bottom did stretch a bit in my experience, but not very significantly even after 33K miles, and real leather shows wear quite noticeably after any significant usage as well. I am/was quite happy with the 'Stang leather for the price. Wouldn't mind other interior surfaces stepping up just a notch, though.It looks and feels premium when new, but seat bottom stretches and deforms after just a few hours.
It's just the seat face that's leather with backs, sides, front and rear seats are synthetic.
I do love the red though!
Sometimes the price is not justified if looks worn out after a few hours of use.
Pretty much all mass market OEM leather is cheap.....MBtex is still my favorite, and premium aftermarket leather.
I went for cloth for the vert to avoid seat burn!
Everyone has different priorities....I'd rather spend money on sound, premium custom leather, wheels, comfort dampers while others rather get a SC and CF hood....love it all.
I’ve owned a GM with MagnaRide and I’ve got it on my Bullitt.As a summer toy you won't miss any options. Leather quality is poor. Can get red seats any time. Magneride is poor VS GM and others.
The average driver is not able to evaluate many aspects of handling, performance, etc. Engineering tests are the proof of how sub-systems perform.Magneride main feature is not a smooth ride. But a positive, performance, glued to the road, corners like riding a rail ride, kind of feel.
The stiffness is actually exactly what I don't like about some of them (like the BMW example I gave). It makes them feel fake, cheap, and plastic-y... Not to mention just not being that comfortable.Yeah I think it's really lb / sq in...I've just never seen bottom seat leather deform so fast ...it is very thin and supple while durable ones are stiff.....give me MBtex or other perforated synthetic all day long.
I had a 800 mile GT PP1 red leather for a day and bottom was stretched but at 6'2' 220 lb lean body my pointy backside was probably too much haha
After four delays my patience would be worn down to bare metal. I'd buy the Mach 1, peel out of the dealership parking lot and never look backHey everyone. So driving season has started and the itch is strong. My build has been delayed 3 times now and this latest one makes it 4 times. I'll be lucky to see the car in June. That said I have a question for you all. I ordered and fully loaded 2022 Mustang GT auto with Mageneride and active exhaust Premium Red interior ( which the dealer ordered wrong and I'm hoping they can fix ) etc... There is a Red 2021 Mach 1 auto base black interior with HP on a lot. It'd be a stretch but I might be able to swing it. What do I do? Cancel and get the Mach or hold out and get the GT I custom ordered. I really liked the cooled red seats to break up the sea of black. That said it's a Mach 1.
just replace the pleather.I really liked the cooled red seats to break up the sea of black.
