    Anyone confirm GT can run on regular gas without problems?

    Higher octane gas does not make power, it only increases the threshold before detonation (if you're close to detonation to begin with), which can be avoided with good tuning and combustion chamber and piston crown shape. With that said, Ford says you can run 87 and what the effects are...

    Yes, good catch. I knew that in my head and typed something else. For this discussion, sales numbers tell us what is in consumer's hands and what our sample size is.

    ATTENTION: Owners of 2011 Mustangs with a shimmy/vibration in the car/steering

    There are a few things being glossed over in these assumptions: 1) There have been only about 40k 2011 Mustangs sold (at most). They have not all been GTs, maybe half of those were. 2) You can assume that for every customer complaint, there are 4-10 times more customers that you haven't...

    Buy a used S197 GT or a NEW V6????

    I haven't driven one yet, but I did see a post from a guy who said that he had to pop the hood on his rental Mustang to be sure it wasn't a V8. They sound like V6's from outside the car, but apparently not from inside.

    widest tire possible for 2011 gt

    I ran 275/40/17 Nitto drag radials on an 8" wide rim. They looked, handled and wore normally, you'll be fine!

    2010 GT Convertible Vs 2011 GT Convertible

    My opinion, I would buy a 2011 V6 before I bought a 2010 GT. I'm sure others will disagree.
