Still not answered one question the gear ratio, 3.55?

As someone who has to check these sort of brochures it's easy to make a mistake.

Also it's 5bhp, not an extra door, not that big a deal to me

The brochure pics are still crappy.

It's also quite easy to get it right. Attention to detail. Hopefully the same person didn't design the brakes.

That isnt fool proof either, or you end up like a colleague of mine sending a mailing out to 50k people with the wrong phonenumbers in it because you used it to switch some numbers!

HEADS UP..

Having completed 3,500 miles in my 2015 and the onset of Autumn in USA. I am noticing quite a lot of Debris flicking up from the sticky tyres, into the arches and occasionally under tray and bodywork.

Reading on several of the forums, a lot of owners are searching for a good Mud Flap or Splash Guard option.
There are currently only a couple of solutions available. It will no doubt take some time for the aftermarket companies to come up with a nice Moulded set.

With the width of the car and the narrow roads in UK, I can only see this debris as being more common for you guys.

The other option is 3M paint guard behind the front and rear arches. Which might be a cheaper option rather than £80 for flimsy flat add ons that are currently available here.....

Do a search on department of boost. They do a supercharger kit using the take off supercharger from the gt500, full kit just needs a tune pump 550-650 bhp. Group buys are $4300. I'm not affiliated just thought it was cool reusing the take off s/c.

They do a cheaper kit if you provide your own s/c but im sure theres not many in the uk.

$500 on ebay for the 07-12 s/c.

You'd think Ford would have sent us a brochure! I've ordered one biggrin

I had a look at replica Cobras and GT40 on the weekend but am forcing myself to stay the course for the Mustang, 10 months wait so far so another 2 months or so won't kill me.

Still excited biggrinbiggrinbiggrin

Puddle lights?! Surely when you open the door the light would be obscured anyway. Odd.

Edit - just read the full brochure, super excited now and no doubts about sticking with it.

It's projected from the door mirror so moves with the door - picture I took in the US when I had one on hire:

Did anyone else get the email from Ford telling us that they haven't fiddled with their oil burners?

I'm not interested in your diesels just keep me informed about my N/A petrol guzzling 5.0 V8.

Have any of you good folks got access to Vista (or knows someone who can?)

Karen gave me a VIN a few weeks ago and advised that build was imminent.... VIN works in ETIS (get the generic date), build mustn't have been imminent though as i still haven't even got a window sticker yet - so i'm just after a Vista screen print of the order with the estimated build date if anyone can help please. Can PM anyone who can help with my VIN.

...and yep i've tried dealer but he's not responding.
