About magneride

[Stangerous]

there is a lot of Performance Package GTs and EBs that come in without Magneride. i've been checking in new vehicles at my dealer for nearly 3 years now, and more Mustangs do not have the Performance Package. of the ones that do, I have seen maybe 10 total with Magneride too, and that's of the (late)2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024(so far) model years. this does not count GT500s, Mach 1s, Dark Horses, or any other trim that has Magneride standard

I think what horned toad meant by his statement is that in order to get MR you have to get PP, so then it’s close to 7k.

Z06 buyers know what they want and what options they are getting for a 6-figure car, while - yes - a majority of the *typical* Mustang buyers don't have a clue and probably wouldn't know the difference between disc brakes and drum brakes. Hell, most can't drive a stick!

No, not all. But many.
Your kind of arrogant with your opinions of what the typical Mustang buyer would know!
That is so kind of you to do.

P.S. - Just ordered my GT about an hour ago. Yes, I ordered the Magneride ...

Kind of arrogant with your opinion and judgement

Agreed. However, I do see far more GTs w/PP without the MR than with it.

I was looking at other posts and researching and I saw that there is better options then MR so I'm going to try out maybe the Steeda one because I believe that have an adjusted suspension also but we will see! Looking forward to getting my car in the next week and have some fun!

Nope. Just being honest. And I've bought and owned far more Mustangs than any other single sports car.

The problem with optioning Magneride is that it requires the GT Premium trim with Performance Package to even unlock Magneride. If you could order Magneride on a standard GT with Performance Package, I'd have done so in a heartbeat. The additional options of a GT Premium wasn't worth the upcharge for us, so we missed out on Magneride. Bummer.

It would be interesting to see the take rate on Magneride if it could be optioned on a standard GT w/ PP.

I haven't driven an S650 without MagneRide so I'm not really qualified to compare it, but I can say that my car is super smooth. I was going to skip it but my husband encouraged me to get it as his BMW has it. My car is way smoother than his. It's a sweet option if you can swing it. In SoCal our roads can suck depending on where you're driving through, so I'm extra glad to have it.

Wow!

If they can't drive a stick they must be morons!

You were the one insulting Mustang drivers and their intelligence.

I made a statement that is most likely accurate. I didn't use insulting language like you did.

Just get on with your life ...

I have a S550 without magnaride, you do feel the road... when I test drove one with magnaride, I couldn't believe the difference... in normal mode it rides as good as my cadillac.

OP I would agree with Sofa King. Personally I prefer without magnaride as I like the rougher/more communicative feel of the road; but for a very comfortable driving on the road experience I would highly recommend it to anyone! Definitely an option that makes quite a difference. Just get it, you certainly will not regret it!

I will do, but 26 messages in, you have managed to demean the intelligence of all Mustang buyers on a Mustang Forum. Do you really think your contribution below is likely to get you taken seriously? I would try moderating yourself and expressing your views in a more considered way going forward.

I wasn't the one using derogatory language. YOU were.

I would try minding your own business - starting right now. Get over it. Move on. Good day.

I saw that there is better options then MR

depends on use-case. But let me spare you some up-front angst and wasted money. If you're thinnking coil-overs then Ohlins or Ridetech at minimum. Otherwise reach for MCS or JRI.

For grocery-getter the Bilstein or FP *TRACK* dampers are more than good enough and inexpensive.
