I have been a member to TMS for a while… When I first joined, I had a 2005 GT Mustang… Now I have a 2015 GT with a Roush supercharger… I bought it about two months ago… 20,000 miles so it’s in pretty good shape… Except for yesterday I was driving on the freeway and at about 90 miles an hour felt like I got a flat tire pulled over did not have a flat tire so I’m not sure what’s going on. I just dropped it off at the Ford dealer, and of course there system is having a cyber attack right now so it may take a little bit longer to find out the diag…
this is my fifth GT… I love them and I will buy them as long as I can!!! 🐎🩷
I Lived in Glendale For A Year For Automotive School in 82 I Know How Hot it Gets! I'm in California Now and We Got a Hell of a Heat Wave Coming This Week For our Area. I Bring This Up Because I Have Owned a Roushcharged Mustang and Currently Have a Supercharged Harley F-150 & 07 Gt-500. So I Would Advise You Really Pay Attention to Having Both The Engine Cooling System & The Supercharger Intercooler System Serviced Regularly With The Proper Coolant. The Supercharged Cars Really Run Best When Cooling Systems are at Peak Capacity!
Thank you!!! I’m gonna be meeting with a mechanic the specializes in modifications and mustangs next week… I am pretty unknowledgeable at this stuff I went to buy a GT Mustang and ended up with this one lol so I’m trying to learn as much as I can!!!
so I appreciate any input I can get regarding that- thank you!!!
Back in The Day The Ford Dealer I Was Parts Manager At was a ROUSH Dealer as Well! They are a Specialized Car & It Does Not Hurt To Find a Ford Dealer Who is Roush For Service & Upgrades!
You Can Sometimes Do an Intercooler Upgrade Which Will Help Keep The Supercharger Cooler! For a Quick Test AFTER you Get Some Good Tires! Put Your Foot in it During The Cool of The Morning Vs after The Work Day is Done in The Heat of The Day! I Believe You Will See How Heat Really Effects These Cars. Also in The Wee Early A.M. Horsepower is Up But Traction is Down Due To Cold Air & Cold Road. In The Hot Afternoon Traction Is Up Due To Heat Making Tires Sticky But Power is Down Due To Heat Changing Fuel Charge. My Gt-500 is a Real Jeckle & Hyde in Those Conditions! So A good Thing To Remember When Your Foot Gets Heavy! Realize Your Car My Perform Very Different Depending on Temp!
Great info!!!! Good to know!!!! I really appreciate it!!! as you know, we just entered the season of no such thing as cool nights 🤣🤣🤣🤣 our low is 80 right now … but in the winter it definitely gets chilly at night for sure. I just moved here about a year ago from Washington state my 2005 did not handle the heat at all. That’s why I wanted to trade it in before summer….

Arizona is a wonderful state to visit so living there will hopefully be just as nice. We have taken our rides all over your state on vacations and can't get enough of Rte 66. Sedona is magical and we have been to cactus country in Tucson twice. Enjoy your Mustang there and see all the sights when you can.
Here are some of our travels there.

Thanks everyone! I loved all the pictures of Arizona. I can’t wait to get around and start exploring. I’ve been too busy working saving up to buy a nice new car lol I took my car in to find out what was going on with the tire I had talked about at Ford and unfortunately I fell victim to the cyber attack that’s going on so I still don’t know what’s going on with the.”Sounds like a flat but not” situation! Like 15,000 auto dealers nationwide are shut down basically because they are getting cyber stalked for millions to release their system. Therefore, everything has come to a screeching halt. I’m hoping early next week I can get my car back. WOW talk about great timing for me.🤣🤣🤣🤷♀️
