4 Reasons to Test Drive the 2024 Ford F-150

When one of the most indelible names etched in American muscle car history accomplishes something phenomenal in the global performance theater, the competition can only stand by and applaud. Find out how unbridled Detroit ingenuity once again raised the bar with the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD. Ultimate Performance Unleashed: The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD A Supercharged Business End Ford's famous V8 steed has always been associated with muscly performers in the sports car arena, but this 2025 GTD version went next level in more ways than one! A high-performance lineage that includes the Ford GT and GT3 provided a race-tested backbone for the 2025 GTD, and Ford's success with the GT3 in the North American IMSA SportsCar Championship's GT Daytona class led to the new Mustang's GTD distinction. more An upgraded 5.0-liter V8 Coyote with 500 horsepower in the GT3 helped inspire the Mustang GTD's new supercharged 5.2-liter V8 powerhouse, which flexes 815 horsepower and a scorching 664 pound-feet of torque! Geared for Success Although the six-speed TREMEC manual transmission has performed admirably in the GT3, the vision for the 2025 Mustang GTD included recognition as a player in supercar conversations. Again leaning on proven F1 technology, Ford chose an elaborate dual-clutch rear-transaxle setup connected by a carbon fiber shaft and controlled by handy paddle shifters. The rear proximity of the gearbox champions optimal weight distribution. Ford Ambition, Multimatic Brilliance Ford and the venerable Multimatic combined to engineer a custom, one-of-a-kind suspension that, as we'll soon see, is truly capable of historical precedence. Multimatic's intuitive DSSV system adapts in milliseconds to apply and decrease downforce through extended straights and twisting turns. The resulting drag-reduction system firmly places the Mustang GTD in world-class adaptive suspension and aerodynamic territory. The fruit of the labor can be viewed through a dedicated window in front of the rear wing. Mustang GTD: First EVER! If you're unfamiliar with the daunting Nürburgring racecourse in Germany, it's a barometer of performance wherewithal and a storied place where standards are set. Ford CEO Jim Farley rattled cages with a sub-seven-minute trip around Nürburgring prediction for the GTD, and not many outside of the Ford contingent expected such to unfold. But in true dramatic Ford fashion, the automotive world once again witnessed Detroit capability competing at the apex level of automotive performance. The Mustang GTD reeled off a record-setting 6:57:6 lap over the 12.9-mile course, making the GTD the first American car to finish under seven minutes, and the first production car to achieve this renowned measure of performance excellence. In tradition with other GT models, production of this highly collectible driving machine will be limited to approximately 1,900 units.

The exhaust system is a vital yet often overlooked car part that must function properly at all times. If you neglect to maintain the various components of your Ford exhaust, your engine could become damaged and your road safety may be threatened. Ford Exhaust System Care: Ensuring Maximum Performance Check Your Exhaust for Rust or Damage It's a good idea to periodically inspect your exhaust for signs of rust or any kind of corrosion. Clean away rust as best you can; have it professionally removed if necessary. But take note: you should always wait until the underside of your car has completely cooled down before going anywhere near it. more The exhaust is also susceptible to damage from potholes, curbs, parking stanchions, and other road obstacles you unintentionally drive over. Keep an eye out for dents or loosened manifold bolts, hangers, and pipes. Take Longer Drives To Evaporate Moisture Rust is often the death knell for components of an exhaust system. The condensation created inside every exhaust generates moisture, which is usually the primary cause of rust. This moisture causes rust, but if you mostly use your car for short drives of five or ten minutes, your exhaust might not heat up long enough to evaporate all the moisture; taking occasional longer drives will ensure your exhaust is properly dried out. Clean Your Exhaust Often, Especially During Winter When cleaning your car, don't neglect to clean the undercarriage thoroughly, including every inch of the exhaust. This is particularly important in winter when clumps of salty snow can rapidly corrode the metal of exhaust pipes. Watch Out for Signs of Exhaust Trouble One of the best things you can do is learn the warning signs of exhaust trouble so you can nip problems in the bud early, avoiding far more expensive repair jobs. If you hear clunking or rattling from below, something may have come loose or the catalytic converter might be damaged. Foul smells in the cabin could also indicate issues with the cat, which is no longer properly clearing the fumes. Problems with the engine can sometimes point to a clogged exhaust, which would hamper the flow of oxygen and gases through the vehicle. If your engine loses power or starts to misfire, have your exhaust checked. Schedule Routine Inspections at Your Ford Dealership As with many car parts, regular inspections are the key to a healthy exhaust system. It's advisable to visit for an exhaust checkup at least once a year. Our technicians will quickly identify and repair any nascent problems before they get worse. Maximizing the performance of your exhaust usually takes an expert eye. Visit Fernelius Ford, Inc. in Cheboygan, MI, today for a comprehensive exhaust inspection.
