@UNBROKEN : Your car has some subtle, really clean lines; I like it. What exhaust system did you go with and why, what was your reasoning? More importantly, would you buy it again if you had to start all over? Mine is bone stock except for the Resonator Delete and H-Pipe install. That...

@RusW1: Thx for the info; do you think that style of wheel would work on my ST. Be honest, no feeling hurt.

I wonder what those wheels on the '37 (make them size 21") would look like on my red ST? I don't know, I don't have the black top like you do.

@RusW1: I love the wheels on that roadster!!! Your ST is not too shabbbbby either.

@kylioST : Yeah, you can have my share of Winter!! From birth till about 20 years old, I never had a green Christmas till I came to CA in 1971 Although we live in NorCal now, we are about 45 mins away from the snow. Now that we have our ST, my Wife has already started to chip away at me to...

@kylioST: Red ones look great in all kinds of weather; I'll bet you had fun that day!!!

Yeah, this time of year is great for getting good deals. Add $10,000 to your deal and we will start talking on mine. I used the FORD "X" Plan plus great incentives and add-ons at cost from the dealer. I'm all over on the color charts for cars. Out of my last 9 vehicles: 4 red, 1 blue and 4...

Here in NorCal, late Nov 2024 to early January, there were almost none on the lots; and what was there most Dealers wanted at least 7% ABOVE MSRP. I bought a Red one (Dealer found it on a train from Chicago) only because it was the first 2025 in NorCal WITHOUT the Sun and Sound package. Black...

@JC-ST: Welcome Aboard. Were there many 2025 ST's still waiting to be sold at the Dealership you went to? I'm told sales for 2025 may be better than previous years (2020 to now). Curious to see when the official data comes out from FORD.

Double Thumbs UP!!!

@GearHead_1: Amen, Brother! Unfortunately here in Nor Cal, there is no 93 octane. Watered down 91 is the best you get.

@theotherdave: "But the real performance magic is elsewhere". I definitely 100% agree!!! I have personally driven my Son's in-laws' Tesla Y a couple of times. Theirs is more of the entry level Tesla, nice but nothing fancy. I believe you, there is nothing out there in the "ICE" variety...

I think it is important to point out that I have had K & N Performance Engine Air Filters on EVERY one of my previous 12 vehicle since 1984 except for one. For some unknown reason, K & N has not developed a new engine air filter for the 2025 Highlander Platinum Hybrids yet. In any event, I...

I sure hope you can get your "long distance relationship" resolved with a job/green card. There is a big difference in doing what you are currently doing weekly vs a freeway road trip. Best wishes, my friend.

@Gadgtfreek: Great comment!! Whenever I drive my Prius V like it is a SHELBY, unfortunately, the MPG's drop also. Don't laugh, the "electric" component of the hybrid operation gives it rather quick acceleration, same idea as for any other electric car. I have yet to meet any Corvette...

@JacksonJay: Agreed!!! It got to the point where it was becoming almost impossible to get in/out of the SHELBY cars, especially in a parking lot. They are lowered 1 1/2" at Shelby American during the build.

2025 Exp ST, 2087 total miles since January 2025: Primarily driven around town in SPORT Mode except once I am on freeway road trips, cruising speed limit +5mph to Bay Area Although, I do particularly like approaching freeway onramps as fast I can safely (pending traffic) Only Performance...

@I Bleed Ford Blue: @I Bleed Ford Blue: Yes I agree on using OEM FORD stuff. Silver powder coat would also work great with certain body color types like white, black or the red ST's.

@theotherdave: Sounds like you have the exact ST that I thought I was buying when I got my 2025 Explorer ST this past January. Unfortunately, it was a "Job 2" build on December 5, 2024. I'm figuring FORD just needed to lighten up these dudes a little so that is why they unceremoniously...
