    Help? Got rear-ended!

    Stay with me folks, I promise this is a tech topic, it just needs set-up. Well, my specially ordered every-option 2008 black GT mustang dream car got rear ended the other night by a teenage girl driving her pappys 40k Audi. The Good news is the Audi was likely totaled and my Stang drove home...

    Sealant help!?

    Hi All: I took home my awesome 08 just about 2-3 weeks ago, and I have been having non-stop fun learning its ins-and-outs and working slowly up to its limits. Amazing car. People who think US automakers are 'dead' and can't create a 'top notch car' should take one of these home for a week...

    Tire, Wheel and brake questions.

    I can see from my searches that this has been discussed here, but I couldn't quite get the questions I had resolved in my head. Sorry if this is old news here. First, I have the stock 18 rims, not the fan-blades, but the bullet-esque polished aluminum wheels. I actually really like them- not...

    Cleaning & Polishing favorite products?

    Hi All: I just bought my baby last Friday. The dealer always does a quick spit shine on them before they go out the door, but I would like to get some coats of good wax on the paint, and some protectant on the leather interior and dash. What are some good products? What have people...

    Failed tune flash?

    Hi All: I am leaning towards handling mods for my first series of upgrades- Namely a Roush full suspension Kit and a Strut Tower Brace. The acceleration and power of the mustang is (for me, a n00b to cars of this level of power) just about all I can handle at the moment, but I wouldn't mind...

    So, My '2008' arrives in 3 weeks... Strut tower Brace?

    Turns out the mustang I ordered will be a 2008- not that that means anything, as 2008 is a carry over year. Perhaps some 'debugging/Fine Tuning' to the components, but nothing different. So, It looks like I'll have a few hundred after down payment to spare. I'm really anxious to get my hands...

    Thanks to all the GT Tech Talk help

    Hi All: After a series of threads here, and some creative personal account management, I have finally placed my order for my Mustang. While this post does not contain any tech questions, I am placing it here to thank everyone who helped me decide on options, and also aftermarkets. For...

    Lighter vs. More horsepower?

    Hi all: As mentioned in other threads here, I'm finally placing my factory order for a GT mustang in the next few days. Before I take delivery of my GT, I am having a Roush Short Throw and a Roush Suspension (full kit) put in. This basically, in my oh-so-humble opinion, will correct the...

    clunking 3.55 gear?

    Hi all: I recall reading here a thread about 05-07 GT mustangs having a lound rear-end 'clunk' with the 3.55 gear. I searched the forum and found the thread where this was discussed- but I didn't see any clear resolution. Is this still a problem with new factory-built GT mustangs...

    Any experience out there with aftermarket sunroofs?

    Hi all: I'm finalizing my GT factory order at the end of this week, but I have yet to decide on a GT with an aftermarket sunroof (and loaded to the gills with options) or a more spartanly configured GT convertible. I have no garage, nor will have one for many years- plus I live in PA...

    Hi all: I am just about to finalize my GT purchase, and I'm considering replacing the suspension with the Roush completes suspension kit (The Roush Rep I spoke to says its exactly what they put on stage 2/3) and a roush short throw. Anyone have experience with these parts? My dealy is a...

    modification 'path' for handling?

    Hi all- I'm continuing to put together a budget and gather information about what I'd like to do with my Mustang. I've gotten some great information on suspension. What I'd like to put together is a car that can get around corners quickly (without being a horrendous car for daily driving)...

    Warranty?

    Hi all. First let me say again how helpful and friendly I have found this place. :SNSign: As I posted earlier, I am leaning towards purchasing a new GT convertible sometime this year. What I am interested in finding out is what sort of Mods can I make without voiding my warranty? For at...

    Question from a prospective mustang buyer

    Hi All: I'm new around here. My regrets if this post is not in the correct forum. I'm seriously thinking about buying a new 07 mustang. The STI and Z are in my range, but I've had a life-long yearning for the old style mustangs, and the new one has nearly all the curb appeal as the old...
