    Shipping the Stang overseas?

    Just remember, gas costs about 5 bucks a gallon in the EU. Thats one of the reasons diesels are so popular over there. They don't tax it nearly as much.

    Just got my 06 GT!

    Those wheels look like crap. I tell you what. Go ahead and take them off and I'll take them off your hands. Its the least I can do for a new Mustang owner ;)

    My "NEW" Stang Complete! What do you think!?

    BTW, the GT500 weighs 741 pounds more than a stock C6. I'm not a racing guy, what is ET Streets?

    TSB for 06 GT

    I haven't had a chance to go over all the TSB's for an 05/06 'stang, but a TSB is not a big deal in the slightest. Anytime there is just a small change in the service manual, a TSB is issued. Ford engineers can simply discover that it is better to torque a nut an inch pound more than they had...

    My "NEW" Stang Complete! What do you think!?

    Nope, the Shelby might have 500 horses, but it is a pig. The C6 has edged it out in just about every comparison I've seen. The Z06 would distroy it. I really dig the Shelby but Ford shoulda done something about the weight and turned it into a real contender. Heck, with the markups, the C6...

    Couple things I don't like about my Mustang

    I'm getting about 25 on the highway if I put it in cruise. However, this morning I gassed up for $1.97 at Costco. I think I'll try to get 15MPG today. And no, I won't be idling.... :D For me the cupholders are fine. A 20oz bottle of Dr. Pepper fits perfectly in either holder. Its a tight...

    My "NEW" Stang Complete! What do you think!?

    I have a few questions: 1. As asked earlier, did you have to replace the stock GT headlamps? 2. Where can I get the front bumper and how much did it cost? 3. Will the GT500 bumper fit with a regular GT hood or do I have to also replace the the hood? IMO you did a great job in making this...

    new shelby

    IMO, Ford really let us down on the Shelby GT. 35K for a measily 25HP improvement over the GT? I think most would agree that for a base GT and 9 Grand you can get over a 100HP increase and some good suspension mods...

    No Screw license plate bracket..... 1st prototype.

    Hi All, As you know the first crappy thing we are forced to do with a new car in Texas is to drill holes in our brand new front bumper and ruin the car with a stupid front license plate. I've seen a few solutions in the past, so I went out and designed my own that I hope to sell later on...

    Arm rest power port....

    The only reason its a concern is that sometimes I forget. I tend to go on long business trips and I'm worried I might leave it plugged in. I guess I'm used to my last car, a Nissan Murano, you had to have the power turned on at the ignition key to get power....

    Arm rest power port....

    Hmmm. hadn't thought to try that. Might just work. Good idea.

    Arm rest power port....

    Yes I could unplug it. However I don't want the bother. Most cars don't send power to those ports when the key is out of the ignition. I'm just hoping someone might have a reasonably easy mod to rework this.

    Arm rest power port....

    I've noticed that the power port in my 06's armrest stays powered up, even when the key is out of the ignition. I thought that the port simply had a time delay, but after checking back several hours later, I still had power. I have a 3 port adapter that I would like to leave plugged in. The...

    If any one is interested..

    Ford has nothing to do with this. Dealers are independent businesses. Ford tried to control this crap before but was stopped because it violated anti trust laws.
