Ground Speed Location on Driver Dash Display, Center or Right?

[mtbikemj]

I have seen this display on some reviews:

However mine is similar to this:

Curious if anyone knows if this is configurable?

If you want speed centered, turn off Lane Keep Assist. Button is on left side of steering wheel.

You'd need to turn off any driver assists that adorn the centered vehicle icon or otherwise show up prominently on the instrument cluster. That includes lane keeping, the forward distance indicator, and route navigation.

Why do they call it "ground speed"? As opposed to what, air speed? Is that a Ford thing?

Most efficient thread ever.

If this isn't proof that it's really a Mustang, I don't know what is. Will add to my list of possible responses to "That's not a real Mustang."

Mustang fans have long held in high esteem the aircraft designed and manufactured by North American Aviation (NAA) and nicknamed “Mustang” by the RAF. It’s Ford’s homage to that esteem. The irony of this is that post-war NAA was absorbed by a subsidiary of General Motors (GM) and the engines all along were manufactured by a GM subsidiary (first Allison, then Packard). The aircraft was designed as part of a contract with the Brits, without US government sanction or assistance (in 102 days! The Brits origially wanted NAA to produce Spitfires but NAA said they could make something better). The 1710 cubic inch Allison engine was chosen because the original specification was for an inline engine and it was pretty much all that was anywhere in the ballpark from the US at the time. The supercharged 1650 cubic inch Rolls-Royce Merlin engine was later licensed by Packard for fitment into the Mustang.

I wonder if anyone ever took Hermann Göering up on his offer for anyone to call him a liar if an Allied fighter ever showed up over Berlin?

Post-war, the Mustang was used in air racing. Probably the most insane modified P-51 was the Red Baron, which sported a seriously cut-down windshield/canopy, clipped wings, and a supercharged 2240 cubic inch Griffin engine that needed a special 5-blade contra-rotating propeller.
