What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[compprep]

Went to Little Falls, NY for the Chesse fest. Bought way to much cheese and other gourmet items. Then took the way home.

I took it for an extended drive today to see how the supercharger would handle things in the city. I have to say the car is so much more exciting to drive. Complete with burbles and pops on the deceleration!!!

However, at one point at a stoplight, I started to get a little bit of rpm bounce where it would drop to 300 or 400 then back up to 500 then back down to 200 or 300 then back up to 500 and then it actually stalled out on me and I had to put it in park and restart the car. It fired up no problem, but I definitely started to keep an eye on the tachometer one at stoplights and started to use my left foot on the break and have my right foot hovering over the throttle in case I needed to give it a little gas.

I’ll be paying very close attention to see whether that happens again. It only seems to happen in track mode and not normal or sport and so far it’s only happened the one time.

Gettin' my 750 hp baby's new shoes ready for a ceramic coating.

I'm using a proprietary ceramic coating developed by Brian @ Apex Detailing in Wernersville, Pennsylvania / Artdeshine.

As an aside, I used this on my "trunk valence"...and dust and/or dirt just don't stick.

Love watching Brian’s YouTube channel. Let me know how you like Metal Oxide.

Not exactly today, but got some lowering springs and took the car to my favorite photo shoot spot for before and afters

I have a 10,700ft tall mountain in the back yard, it snows here. All of AZ isn't 100 degrees all year. we have two seasons really, spring/summer (9 months) you'll see 110* for sometimes 6 months, Fall/winter for 3 months where the temp dips down to ZERO sometimes. Don't believe that AZ is all Grand Canyon and Phoenix, IT ISN'T!!!

I do adore northern Arizona though, I spend a lot of time there in the fall and summer usually.

Hmmm, that's a common symptom of VCT phasers losing their ability to lock onto the targeted setting when these cars are NA. But given you have a blower now it could be anything...

Finally got rid of my fake spoiler and replaced it with the genuine FP one with gurney flap.

the "ford spoilers" are much nicer than the knock-offs,i was able to see some pretty bad examples of the "gt350 track pack" before i opted for the "FORD PART"!

I thought it was a great knock off. Then I got the genuine one… man was I wrong, this thing is a piece or art.

I keep telling myself that it is a dry heat . But we have had one hell of a monsoon season this year . Have had to weed eat at least 5 times this year , usually it is only once a year .

They’re the steeda ultralite extreme lowering springs, they drop the car about two inches all around. They are honestly pretty bumpy compared to the stock base model suspension but considering that, it also rolls quitea bit less and feels less boaty, and corners better IMO. The negative camber is pretty bad so I think getting camber plates and camber bolts and rear camber arms is a must
