    Fuel Economy/track Apps

    Near 30 with all those mods? Nice! When I just go to work back and forth, and an occasional drive to lunch, I seem to get around 24.5-25.0. This is almost identical to my '13 GT Manual. I kept track of it some on fuelly, tracking my fuel ups, and the onboard was pretty accurate, but a little...

    Fuel Economy/track Apps

    So, from spring break and then this past week, I've had A LOT of highway miles racked up on my just broken in Mustang. I've been very impressed with the MPGs I've been getting, and even got to do some 1/4 mile runs on these highways as they were out in the middle of nowhere. I'm very happy with...

    2015 Dyno Information

    Yeah, I don't baby it for the first 1k miles. I don't use speed control and I vary my rpms too. I was droping into 5th occasionally on long stretches too. I get on it hard here and there. Took it up to 110 on some back roads around 300 miles. I'm up to 1100 now! Love this freaking car!

    How many miles you got on it?

    Actual Mpg

    If those miles are pretty much all highway miles, then you should have no problem hitting 25 mpg with an at/mt on 3.15/3.31 gears. My '13 GT mt\3.31 gears got 25 doing a 40 mile round trip to work, and i don't baby the car. My '15 isn't broke in yet as i'm running it in higher gears and still...

    Finally, after my '13 GT Premium was totaled, my special ordered '15 GT Premium came in!

    Axle Back Exhaust

    OK, so the car is finally here, hoping to pick it up today and get out of some work in the process! Once I feel like it can survive a week or two new, I will be taking my '13 GT mufflers to a shop to see if anyone's up to the challenge. :) I've been without a Mustang since the morning of...

    Should I Get The 2015 Mustang Gt?

    Oh, and I think you can work a better deal too. My local dealer, small town one, is not the best place to buy from to get a good deal, but they did good with me on a special order one. My car came out to be 38,475 MSRP, and I talked them into letting me get it for 39 out the door. You take away...

    Should I Get The 2015 Mustang Gt?

    I'm right along with 84Ttop. I did have a 2013 Mustang GT Premium stick and loved it. And will miss the stick to some extent. BUT when I test drove a 2015 GT Premium auto, I knew I'd be dumb not to get the auto. Had my '13 not been totaled, I was planning on keeping it forever, but now I'm...

    Axle Back Exhaust

    Ouch, cutting the pipe. But it was so easy for me to swap the mufflers myself before! Bah! lol

    Axle Back Exhaust

    Thanks for the advice! I have a thought in my head of possibly getting my Borla S-Types pulled from my '13 and letting a muffler shop make them work on a '15. Think that's possible with some modifications? Might save me some money if so.

    Axle Back Exhaust

    Since I'm going to be forced into buying a new GT here soon due to my '13 being totaled by a tard, I wanted to see if there were some Borla S-Types for the '15s, and can't find them yet. I really liked them on my '13 because they were quiet at idle and highway speeds, with no drone and they were...

    Well, Had Nice Wreck Yesterday...

    Yeah, I'm doing well, just hoping I don't have permanent neck or back injuries. Only time will tell.

    Well, Had Nice Wreck Yesterday...

    Guy tried to turn and across 3 lanes with oncoming traffic. Claimed his "brakes locked up." But I sure wouldn't turn into traffic if my brakes didn't work. I'd just bounce around in the median. Glad for a "Built Ford Tough" Mustang though. I just hope I can get a replacement car that I want as...

    2015 Dyno Information

    I saw an American Muscle video the other day. They dynoed a stock ecoboost at 257 rwhp and 277 rwtq. 93 octane, automatic, not sure what rear end it had in it. I test drove one, and of course I'm spoiled with my 5.0, but wasn't too impressed with it.

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    My latest updates, over the last 3,000 miles (12,000 on car so far) I'm averaging 25.2mpg with on board calculations on Trip 1. On Trip 2, I have never reset it, so it calculates back to mile 0 from the factory at 24.6mpg. Occasionally I track my fill-ups and log them into fuelly. I'm getting...

    Best Oil

    I do Mobil 1 full synthetic as well, usually 5-7k miles on the old V6. Now I guess I'll go down to 10% oil life or so on the new GT. We'll see. I drive about 10k miles a year, so not even 2 oil changes a year @ about $35-$40 isn't that big of deal to do it with good quality stuff. And I do it...
