I had a Fusion before my Mustang, MFT in both cars and never had any problems with either. This is the main reason I didn't wait for a 2016 model. The voice commands work really well for me also, and I've had people comment when I'm on the phone with them with the windows down they can't even tell. Has anyone used sync3 yet? I guess the escape and fiesta have it already?

I'm in the same positon, only a bit further north than you - southern indiana. I'm debating whether to get winter tires at all, I have a work vehicle that I drive so I could possibly get away with that all winter except for visiting family out of town, in which case renting something would be a lot cheaper... Not being able to drive my car for a few months is killing me though!

I have those same 20" wheels with the pirellis. I can just keep it in the garage until spring but I don't think I could bear to not drive it that long, so to go back to his original quesion, where's a good place to get a set of wheels and tires? I've been looking at tire rack and a set there is around $1250 but have no frame of reference price wise.

Welcome to the club! That is a great looking color, but I'm biased towards DIB :P Any plans for it, or going to leave it stock for a while?

ilkhan posted:I've only run normal mode so far. I tried sport+ but it was a bit twitchy for me (though I liked how much easier it was to blip the throttle when downshifting). That's better than the pothole I hit around Chicago that cause me to need 2 new tires due to the large bubble in the sidewalls... Thank god I was near the Tire Rack distribution center in Indiana.

I am fortunate enough to live within driving distance of Tire Rack's distribution center, and I'm wondering... who thinks I can get a set of tires inside my car? I think they'd just fit, has anyone managed it?

A four door mustang wouldn't work, they would have to change the shape of the roof too much. There'd be no head room for the rear passengers otherwise, just like now. I've noticed the dashboard rattle under the headlight panel but it seems to come and go, and most of the time I can't tell the difference between it or my phone mount on the vent. After much deliberating, I just got winter shoes installed, car looks good with black wheels. I was able to fit 1 tire in the trunk and 3 in the back seats with the passenger seat moved up, no problem.

kimbo305 posted:Edmunds mixed up the front and rear tires on their longterm '15 GT: It looks like they have the PP, I wonder if it's specific to those wheels/package? I'll have to check the stock 20" I have off my car currently to see what those say. Edit - actually it looks like only the PP has a staggered setup.

(or is there basically a connecter on the column and a connector on the wheel that mate together) Here's a writeup on how to do it http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34155 The part that would make me nervous would be messing with the airbag but if you're confident in what you're doing it looks pretty easy.

Saw my first GT350 in person drive by me today, still had the temp tags on it. Heard it before I saw it. They sound SO good, I hope Ford has more plans for that engine. New Lightning perhaps?

Washed and waxed today, happy with the results. I've had the car a year now, still loving it every time I drive, which is never often enough. Just over 7k miles on it.

Buhbuhj posted:PP suspension would not be fun on UK roads so you are probably better off not getting it. It's very bouncy and most people end up replacing the springs and dampers in them anyway. Man, the stock suspension is pretty bouncy already, the PP is worse? The worst is when you're driving on concrete highway. The gap in the concrete panels seem to be just far enough apart the suspension bounces rhythmically and gets annoying after hours of driving. What's the best way to fix this, by the way?

kalvick posted:NOPE! dealer warranties the car if its stock. If the dealer installs a part, that is its own separate warranty. Copied from Ford's Power Pack warranty details: quote:Installation of these select Ford Performance and mountune warranted performance packs and So, you're right. If something were to happen, you would likely have to fight to get it fixed and it isn't worth the hassle. To be honest, I enjoy my car as it is... maybe that will change in a few years.

Larrymer posted:Lol. More modern torque based ECUs don't work that way, bro. You may get more airflow (and dirt and particles because the filters generally don't filter as well) but the ECU will compensate and keep the torque amount about the same. On older cars they can make a bit more power if the ECU doesn't compensate and it leans out the stock calibration, but that's not really how it works anymore. Many CAI for the S550 GT also require a tune, presumably for this reason.

I think the Charger has kind of made the need for a high speed pursuit specific vehicle kind of unnecessary, but you'll still see a few mustangs used as undercover cars by state troopers in the midwest at least.

Phanatic posted:Plus I have no urge to take possession of a RWD sports car with summer tires just as a Philly winter begins. I can wait until March. You'll have to get winter tires/wheels eventually anyway... Just reaffirming, definitely get the exact car you want and don't settle for less. You don't want any regrets on such a large purchase and you'll love what you end up with.

Who knows what the exact options will be on the 2018 models, but I have noticed the 20" wheels now come with all seasons standard with summer tires an extra option. This would get you all seasons but a bit meatier tires that may make up for that. Of course, this would still mean more expensive tires when it's time for replacement.

Buhbuhj posted:They are Continental Wintercontact SI's. I was able to get a very good deal on them from a mechanic friend. I believe they are like a mid-range tire? On dry roads they are very quiet but you still can't feel anything through them. Extremely good grip in the snow, though. Seconding this, they're what I got as well and while I haven't had the pleasure of driving them in the snow yet I'm really pleased with them.

Feel free to call me crazy here, but if you squint just right... does this look like they stole some styling cues from the new Camaro? Are they converging into one car, starting with the transmission?
