    When do payments start when you order a new car?

    If you finance it through the dealer the payments usually start a month after the day you pick it up. If you go through a bank it could be anytime depending on the bank's policies. Hope this helps.

    2005 GT turn signals don't work right side

    It might be the flasher assembly if these cars have them. I had one go bad on a POS cutlass I used to drive. The symptoms you described were the same as the ones I remember having.

    Thoughts on Supercharging a 60,000 mile GT

    Wow thanks for the replies everyone. It is good to know that this is still an option for me. I am considering this option as a plan B if I can't afford a 2011 5.0. The car is a automatic and doesn't have any clunks or abnormalities so I am assuming that the all is well with the rear end and...

    Thoughts on Supercharging a 60,000 mile GT

    Guys I remember seeing a post on this a while ago but can't for the life of me find it. I have a 2006 GT and want to add more power to it. I was looking at the Edelbrock E force supercharger but was wondering if it would be wise adding this on to a 60,000 mile motor. I don't want to spend the...

    How much weight should I put in the trunk

    I would also recommend putting sand bags in the back seat like someone above said. Two 100LB bags should do. I ran that last year and never had a problem on the stock Pirellis. This year wasn't so bad and I had just bought new tires in November so I didn't run with anything in the back seat.

    Will 17X7 wheels fit?

    Thanks for all of the info. I would love to try the wheel out but the guy I was going to buy them from decided to keep them so I will look on ebay. Has anyone ever used the chrysler 300 steel wheels on their car? Any first hand experience would be appreciated. I really don't want to spend...

    Will 17X7 wheels fit?

    Guys I tried searching the forum but could not find the answer to this. My question is will 17X7 wheels fit a stock 2006 GT? The reason I am asking is the chrysler 300 base model uses steel 17X7's with our bolt pattern and I was thinking of using them for winter wheels. A guy I know got 300...

    how many miles...

    I rotate them every 5k. I might be able to still use them if I bought snow tires but after about 20k I find they are useless in the snow and even rain.

    how many miles...

    I usually get about 20k out of my stock Pirellis. I do mostly freeway driving and very rarely peel out.

    odor

    Hey when I first posted the smell wasn't described yet so I guess that was just my gut response. I had a dead mouse in my old caprice and my Dad had one in the engine bay of his van so it is common thing to happen.

    Steering issue at 75mph

    Well I was able to take my car to a local repair shop and told them about the problem and that the rotors are warped. The mechanic took a look at it and said that they were warped especially the left front one. He had to cut alot out of that one to get it true. He also changed the pads...

    Steering issue at 75mph

    After Ford balanced them the first time I thought they might have forgotten to put the weights on or they fell off on the highway but when tire place balanced them the second time I knew that couldnt be the case. I'm thinking now that it has to be a warped rotor. Time for some new ones I think.

    Steering issue at 75mph

    Guys thanks for all the responses. I knew you would all help me out. I knew I had a warped rotor but I didn't think it would cause the shimy when I wasn't using the brakes. I will look into getting new rotors and maybe the stage 2 brake upgrade and let you all know how it works out. Thanks...

    Steering issue at 75mph

    You know I really really want the stoptech stage 2 brake upgrade from Brenspeed and this might just be the reason to get it. Thanks for giving me the incentive to get it.

    Steering issue at 75mph

    I don't have any mods on the car at all :shock: yeah I know. As far as tires I have the Pirelli P-Zero Neros. I can check on whether the shop I used has that balancing system.

    Steering issue at 75mph

    Guys I have a bit of an issue here that noone can seem to fix. My car has a shimy at 75mph. The steering wheel will rock back and forth at about 75mph and higher. I have taken the car to both the dealership and a local tireshop and both of them were not able to find anything wrong except the...

    Gas prices too high? Get your 100% electric GT500 pre-ordered. :)

    At 80K you could almost buy a Tesla roadster which would be about as fast and get better (FUEL??) economy so they say.
