    What are these bars under my car? Anyone?

    My car is an '06 V6 Premium convert. Nothing special, a former fleet car, pretty much stock. However, I've noticed these two curved bars (curved shallowly downward) underneath the rear end and under the gas tank, running from each corner of the rear, diagonally and meeting just forward of the...

    2010 V6 version?

    Any of you guys who bought the 2010 'stang get the V6 version? If so, how do you like it? Same engine as the 05-09 but does it "feel" any different in this new model? I know the interior's been quite nicely upgraded..

    What's with this horrendous parts pricing??

    The little plastic nob on the upper back of my 'stang's leather seat back that you lift up on to move the seatback forward broke and needs to be replaced. Well, I went to my local Ford dealership to see about replacing it. It's a "special order" part and the parts guy was embarrassed to quote...

    Too many unsold '08s and '09s?

    I have yet to see a 2010 Mustang on a dealers lot up here in my area, Olympia, Wash. I suspect it's because too many dealers still have too many new, unsold '08s and '09s in their inventories. :(

    Great freeway gas mileage for V6?

    Went on a 122.6 mile freeway trip yesterday in our '06 V6 convert. Speed was held steady at 60 mph on cruise control. Used 4.027 gals. Filled up at the same station and same pump on return as when we went down. Cut return trip fill-up off at first click just as on initial fill-up. Made...

    air silencer?

    Do the V6 'stangs, '05 and up, even have an air silencer? I thought I had read somewhere on these forums that they do not...

    K&N and Am. Thunder combo = about how much more horsepower and torque?

    Okay, Guys, I'm putting a K7N drop in filter into my V6 today and I've already got the Flowmaster Am. Thunder axle back exhaust on 'er. Do you guys think that the combo of more free-flowing intake and outgo will give me about, maybe, 10 extra h.p. (maybe 2 h.p. for the K&N and maybe 8 for the...

    The drone, the drone, the drone....

    I've got one of those Flowmaster Am. Thunder mufflers made espec. for the V6 'stang on my '06 convert., and it really drones at certain rpms. Can anything short of replacing the muffler again be done about "the drone?" :(

    Counterweights help eliminate drone?

    This guy in the local Mustang club I just joined has the same Flowmaster American Thunder muffler I've got on my '06 V-6. There's a rather annoying drone at certain mid-range RPM's and he says that putting counterweights on the muffler helped cut the drone his makes by 50%. He has since gone...

    which emblem do you like, if any?

    Which emblem do you guys like for that bare front/side quarter panel on the V6? Of course, the GT has "GT" there, and Shelby, Rousch, and Saleen have their own incarnations, but there are various aftermarket ones you can get to stick on there for the V6, like 4.0 and 245. Have any of you...

    Vista Blue where are You-u-u-u-u-u-u?

    A while back, maybe a couple months back, I came across a thread devoted to showing pics of "your Vista Blue Mustang." Now, I can't seem to find it. Can anyone help in locating it for me, a relative computer illiterate? :(

    About how much of a horsepower increase?

    Okay, now that I've driven my V-6 with the Flowmaster single exhaust a while, it feels like it has a little more "spunk," and the wife noticed it too....About how much of a horsepower increase would any of you guys in-the-know say it gained? Also, I take back what I said about the tip being...

    Help! Tough film on wincshield--what to do?

    I bought a used 2006 V-6 convert. with 28K miles for a damn good price--okay, it was a returned "program car," lease return or rental, )probably a lease because it's a "Premium" model rather than the "Deluxe.") Anyway, I close the deal and get thru all the paper work hassle decilining all the...

    Flowmaster American Thunder axle back for V-6

    Just put this on my "new" '06 Vista Blue 'vert. Basically like it a lot, but seems a little too loud when it shifts up thru the gears (mine's an auto trans) and the 3 1/2 inch bright tip seems a bit "over-large" (like maybe a "ricer's size" tip?) and I think 2 1/2 inch would look better...

    GETTNG BAKED-ON GUNK OFF WINDSHIELD!!!

    I can't believe this! I just bought a nice, used '06 lease return convert. v6 at a great price from a dealer about 60 miles north of us. BUT, when they detailed the car prior to letting me drive it away, the dumb %^$&%^#%'s who did it sprayed the windshield with the same liquid detailer they...

    Sunroof option for 2005+?

    Didn't Ford offer the sun/moonroof as a factory option for the 2005+ 'stang? I have yet to see a coupe with this factory option...

    Little bit of pinging?

    What about a little bit of pinging under hard acceleration? Izzat normal for an '01 with low mileage? I use only 92 octane in the tank.
