    weird noise

    I have a similar, if not the same, sound. It is the center dash rattling. The molding is very loose and it's not even screwed in. Most of the interior molding is held together by thumb screws. And you thought imports had it bad. Next time you hear the sound, put your hand on top of the center...

    2005 Mustang Dead Battery Problem??

    I had the same problem with my car. I drive it on the weekends mostly and take the subway to work. My battery kept dying so much, I bought a battery jumper and kept it in the trunk just in case. I lost power at least 5 times before I read about the Shaker issue. Now, I always make sure to...

    Where do you keep your owner's manual?

    Mine is in a small neoprene-like case that is zipped up. Around 5" x 8"? Not very big and fits the glovebox fine as that's where it was originally located when I bought the car. The Ford CD is also in there with the original plastic wrapping.

    Where do you keep your owner's manual?

    It's in my glove box along with my GPS, mount, Registration, Insurance card, and chewing gum (you never know when you'll bump into a cute redhead).

    4.10s installed

    I was in your boat once. Had the 4.10s installed and depending on the weather and road condition, I would also only chirp sometimes and spin on others. I guess that we're on the borderline with just 4.10s and no other major power adders. Of course, I have the 18" BFGs KDWs, so it may be a bit...

    3.73 or 4.10 on auto 06 gt

    4.10. Love mine. I spin like mad if I punch it out of the hole, but for some strange reason, I don't think it's from the 4.10s.

    Sound change from CAI?

    Was your G35 a turbo? The sound you describe sounds like turbo/blower whine. I have a similar "issue" on my stang. Though it was an issue I am glad to have installed.

    Pics of our new "07 GT Vert....

    Welcome to the black 'stang club. It's more than a pain, it's a nightmare to upkeep. But it shure is purdy!

    I think I need a tune...or something.

    Sounds like your shift points are not optimally calibrated.

    Need info on GT security system please!

    One push on the lock door button to lock the doors without arming the alarm/sensor, second push to arm the alarm (the horn will sound once to let you know it's armed).

    Should I be worried about this GT?

    12.7-13.2 may be possible if he had sticky tires. I've heard the Eagle F1's are pretty bad on drags. That said, if driver ability is equal, I would say you have the upper edge even without the spray.

    pics of lowered cars on 18's (perf. fanblades)?

    Thanks for all the great comments. I am going to take some pics in the next few days with my 7MP digital camera with the top down, especially since I just put a fresh coat of wax and wheel shine on it.

    CORSA or BORLA?

    Yes, borla has drone. Mine pops up around 1950-2100 RPM. Borla will sound more aggressive than the corsa, but with drone. If you hate drone, then don't get the borla. Me, I love mine and can deal with the drone.

    22MPG?

    I'd be jumping for joy if I can even get NEAR 22 MPG. Pushing 10-12 at the moment. And what happened with the SS?

    pics of lowered cars on 18's (perf. fanblades)?

    Lowered 1" front, 1 1/4 back via the springs in the sig. 18" fans. Pic is a bit big, so I kept it as a URL: http://home.nyc.rr.com/kilmar/pics/stang.jpg P.S. Sorry for the crappy pic. Taken from a cameraphone.

    2007 GT 4.6L HEAD CHOICES

    Sorry Doc, you most likely have a very unique situation so not many people would have experience with it. Not to hijack the thread, but have you gotten the rollcage for the vert yet? I have the same problem you had/have.

    Will I need to calibrate my speedo?

    Yes, you will need to recalibrate. You can either bring it in to a shop to be reprogrammed or buy a handheld tuner like the SCT XCal II and get a tune with 18" wheels.
