    Best Oil

    Motorcraft's semi-synthetic (factory fill) is the best...reasonable price and it works well.

    Is Snyc emblem removable?

    I agree with bdcardinal...tell them to replace it under warranty...it doesn't cost them anything, Ford Corporate pays them to do it.

    2011 Mustang Issues

    The "skip shift" feature is what allows Ford to meet the CAFE fuel MPG rating standards (i.e. improves your MPG)...GM has had it in their Corvettes for many years (my '01 Vette Coupe) has it...you can defeat it easily by giving a bit more throttle in first gear...you can also defeat it by...

    Manually shifting an automatic on freeway onramps....

    Read your owner's manual...it tells you when you can use 1, 2, and 3...I wouldn't use them unless absolutely necessary...you could take your automatic out of O/D (overdrive) by hitting the button on your shifter (right side)...that would be okay, but using 1, 2, and 3 like it's a "manual...

    Car Washing

    As long as you DON'T drive in the mud or winter snow salt/chem treated streets...you can keep your car clean using Bayes Waterless Car Cleaner or my favorite is Prolong's Waterless Wash and Shine...I haven't used a bucket and hose on my 4 cars in the last 5 years! You will need, however, some...

    One QUICK little crossover!!!

    Ford has always been re-active instead of pro-active in the horsepower wars... let's face it, the return of the 5.0 and the 412HP ONLY came about when the Bowtie guys upped the ante with their 426HP V8 Camaro...yes, Ford sat around on their laurels and kept feeding their Mustang lovers with a...

    Car and Driver's V6 Video - Sick Sick sound!

    Sounds great...but it's torque and not horsepower that gives the grunt and G's to a muscle car and the V8 still has more torque than the V6...

    Heated (errrr lukewarm) Seats??

    I remember one time test driving a new Maxima in the middle of summer and I couldn't find the turn off switch to the heated seats, I began to slowly, but surely roast my bottom...and since I was in the middle of a lot of traffic it made it even worse...no heated seats for me! Just another option...

    Is this 2010 GT a Good deal?

    The Ford dealers are dealing...they are doing their best to get rid of the remaining 2010's since the more powerful 2011's will be coming...most people are waiting for the new ones...so dealers are getting desperate in getting the 2010's off the lot! In fact, you may want to wait and lease a...

    Well I finally pulled the trigger!! 2010 GT!

    I agree with STANGMOLE...the prices of the 2010 GTs should be very negotiable...with the 2011 410HP GTs coming down the road a lot of interested buyers are waiting for the significant increase in HP (which should have happened a few years back and not waiting for the Bowtie Guys to up the ante...

    2010 Mustang GT fender emblems

    The reason for the holes are so that the emblems will look straight, and the spacing is the same on both sides...too many manufacturers have their workers apply them with a small jig (which should align them), but then they're either crooked, or too far to the left or right (either too much Saki...

    2010 GT- New and improved version

    I think it looks great! But, I do think you should remove the "Cobra" emblem since it's really not a Mustang Cobra...and I do think the "clean" grill look is mighty fine.

    OIL STAINS ON DRIVEWAY

    Next time...do the change yourself...it's the only way to ensure it's done right...oil changes are usually given to the most inexperienced tech (especially at places like Jiffy Lube, etc.)...trust no one with your oil/filter change and the Stang is really easy (only change for the 2010 is...

    what's your "my color"?

    Too bad Ford spent so much time worrying about coming up with "My Color." They could have spent the time figuring out how to eliminate the constant rattling and squeaking our interior makes from the dashboard to the A-Pillars, etc., etc.,...fancy color combos on the dash cluster shouldn't be a...

    How much did you get your 2010 Mustang GT Premium out the door?

    Now that Ford has announced the '11 Mustang (with the increased horsepower) they'll be selling the '10 Mustang at dirt cheap bargains...everyone's waiting for the '11. They've made the '10 model a dinosaur before its time...letting the '11 out of the bag so early didn't make sense, but then Ford...

    Hey, what do y'all think of this?

    One word...Yuck!! (I would take it, however, WITHOUT those fugly stripes)...

    Anyone see 2011 GTs having problems?

    I would definitely wait for the 2012 year...the new power-train (i.e. 5.0 Engine) will definitely have some bugs in it...and when they do it's not that easy to just have it fixed in one afternoon. I'm sure they'll most of the kinks will be out of the engine by '12 model...but there are people...

    2011 GT/CS PICS HOLY CRAP!!!

    Not bad...however, I don't like the rear because there is too much "black" with the addition of the blackout to the trunk area...

    Comparing the 2011 Mustang V6 ....

    It's time to get rid of your 05-09 GT now...after all, Ford has decided it's time for the 2011 V6 to give you competition...:D Thanks Ford, I guess it took the Bowtie guys to WAKE YOU UP!
