    Sport Vs Sport

    It's definitely possible, but I haven't noticed a difference. I'll have to pay more attention. :)

    Tire Survey

    Yeah, not a fan of the stock pirellis. 235 18s on my 2015 just ain't cutting it on launches. I had 235 17 pirellis on my 05 v6, and bought some Cooper zeons of the same size to replace, and they seemed considerably better, much to my surprise.

    Sport Vs Sport

    I played with my driving mode switch today for fun, and sport mode does affect the transmission shift points the same as putting it into S on the shifter. So in that regard, they do the same thing, but using the paddles in full manual mode requires the shifter to be in S.

    Sport Vs Sport

    When you use the shift paddles in S, you are in complete manual shift mode (except for downshifts when coming to stop) and it will not go back to automatic shifting unless you go back to D. They call this manual sport mode. However, when you put it in S, and don't touch the paddle shifters, it...

    Mine will usually go close to 14 when driving and getting the RPMs up a little.

    From '12 To '15; My Rambling Comparison

    Yeah, my 13' stick felt like a totally different car. I love them both, but for different reasons. Like you described, the '15 is more refined, more luxurious. The '13 was more traditional muscle car, felt faster in a straight line, and felt like a true american muscle car. The '15 feels like a...

    Battery Voltage Seems Low To Me...

    My wife's Cruze showed 12.4 after a drive home after turning it off. Must be a Mustang thing with all that cool technology. :)

    Battery Voltage Seems Low To Me...

    Haha, when my wife gets home, I want to see what her Chevy Cruze reads when it's off.

    Battery Voltage Seems Low To Me...

    My GT usually reports the battery voltage around 11.7-11.9 when the car is off. I've always expected a new, fully charged battery, to report closer to 12.5 or more when it's fully charged. Had Ford check it out to be sure, because my 05's battery died on me within the first year. They said it's...

    Actual Mpg

    Hate to show off my epic highway mileage, but I have too! 5.0 V8, Auto, 3.15 gears. This first pic is about 300+ miles, non stop, doing 75-78 mph on the interstate in Florida and Georgia. This second pic is an average of my daily driving to work, over 2000 miles worth.

    Long Order Wait Time?

    Mine never gave me any indications. Week 7 came, on a Monday, they called saying it's expected in later that week. Then they called me later same day and said it had come in that afternoon, haha.

    Beefcake Racing Goes 9.76 In Their S550

    You got a video? I love to watch these cars launch hard! I remember seeing this video below, where American Muscle hit 9.91 @ 135mph on a 150 shot of nitrous. How much HP is his vortech adding?

    First Oil Change

    Think I did my first around 3k on my '13, used mobil1 full synthetic. Was getting very near my 2nd oil change at 14k miles before it got totaled. Thinking i'll do this one around 2-3k miles the same way.

    Axle Back Exhaust

    Well, finally got around to taking it to a shop. Guys over at a local mustang forums recommended him. He was pretty good, and very nice. Only cost me $60 for him to mount them. He cut the old ones off in no time of course, then the pipe size difference made it pretty easy to weld the junction...

    2015 Dyno Information

    I think the Auto comes with 3.15 standard, 3.55 optional. And the Manuals come with 3.31 standard, 3.55 & 3.73 optional. I go up to about 45 in first, and 70 in second. You guys seem to be about 40 in first, 60 in second. That sound about right?

    2015 Dyno Information

    I thought the 3.15 diff made it the same overall ratio as the 3.31 in the manual?
