New DD: So when are we going to get a dedicated Mustang section?

m4a1mustang · 06-01-2012, 09:31 PM

I don't remember the offsets off the top of my head. I'd look it up but I'm about to pass out!

Steering settings... the 5.0 has the EPAS system (all electric) and on the 2012+ you can manually select I believe three settings... comfort, sport, and something else. You have to cycle through the setup menu to find it. Basically if you think the comfort setting is too soft you can tighten the wheel up a bit.

Sport Mode... hold the brake and tap traction control twice. Now you have more liberal traction control and stability control. On the Mustangs TC and SC are separate systems (you can turn TC off but SC will stay on, you can turn them both off, or you can turn sport mode on). Sport mode on the Brembo-equipped cars is even sportier than the base, but the base should still let you slide the car around a good bit before intervening, and when it does it usually does it smoothly and makes you look good.

On my 11 the only way for me to change the steering is to engage sport mode... which is fine, since I always drive in sport mode.

Just checked... can't find the offset for your particular wheels. My wheels have a 42mm offset.

Congrats Mike

I went a different direction but for the same reasons as you did. I wanted something I could get into and just drive. Now the Z can be even more radical and less streetable

I purchased a 2012 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic automatic and loaded with most options. Still in transit to the dealership and hopefully I'll be able to pick it up next week.

Ghost cam!!! The lopey idle I get with the trackey is hardly noticeable sound wise compared to YouTube videos I see of ghost cam tunes that 5.0 guys get.

so I ordered
20" wheels and tires
factory front brembo calipers
aftermarket front rotors
posiquiet pads
H&R springs

I'll update my sig pic after the calipers are powdercoated and everything is installed.
