    Front Plate Bracket Removal?

    I picked up my Alloy GT500 Vert last week and plan on having Lemans stripes put on it. I want to remove the front plate bracket and fill the holes prior to the stripes being put on. The stripes will cover the hole locations. Question is how do I get that thing off? It is held on by...

    New GT500 & Unique Break In Question

    Hello All! I am back to the SVT world in that I bought an '08 Alloy GT500 Vert last weekend. (I had a SVT Contour a few years back and currently have an '02 GT Vert that will need to be sold). I live in the snow and salt covered midwest, so this car won't see the light of day for about 4...

    '00 R Rear Seat?

    I know this is going to sound weird, and even offend some. I drive my Mustang purely for weekend enjoyment. My '02GT Vert has 5K miles on it and you could eat off the chassis (never seen rain). Since I barely drive this extra car, I would really like it to be something of "historical"...

    '05 GT Handling

    I'm am going to start this off by admitting I have never driven an '05, so I might be pretty off on this. Does anybody else find it hard to believe that a '05GT out handles '03-'04 Cobras and 350Z Track Models?? The hardware says it should be impossible. The tires on the GT alone should...

    Valve Cover Oil Leaks?

    My '02 GT has about 5K miles on it and I have always noticed that after it sits for a week or so, it is fairly common to get a bit of oil smoke from the engine after it starts to warm up. I don't really notice it much in the summer because I drive it more and I assume that the drips fall when...

    Winter Storage?

    I have stored several cars, several times, over winter, but always wonder what the best approach is. I always start it and let it run for 15-20 minutes about once a month. Is a full tank the best? With or without stabilizer? I always worry about varnish, etc... messing up the fuel...

    Kenne Bell & Stock Clutch

    Can the stock clutch handle the Kenne Bell 6 or 9PSI kit? My car is a weekend cruiser, so I won't be heavily abusing it, but I do drive hard. Not drag racing, but definitly son't want any clutch slip on full throttle runs.

    Vert Top Stop Adjustment?

    I want to get a boot for my '02 Vert from an older model when they made the nicer semi-hard boots. My problem is that it looks to me like my top doesn't go down far enough to fit the older style boot. How do you change the stops so that the top retracts more?

    Wierd Transmission Leak?

    I have noticed a drop of liquid under my car two time over the past few weeks so I decided to investigate. It lined up with the back of the transmission so I thought maybe an output shaft seal, etc..., however, that was real dry. I finally stuck my hand up to the flat surface above the...

    18" Wheels Late Availability?

    I read in one Mustang magazine that the 18" wheels won't be available for a long time after introduction. Why would Ford do this? I understand the concept of introducing a basic model and then keep adding things to keep it fresh, but I also think it is a bad idea. It works on PT...
