    Any Predictions For GT500 price dropping?

    I stopped at the dealer today. They had two Shelby GT 500's on the floor. The dealer had stuck a large "DEALER ADJUSTED" sticker on the car showing $70K:bs: MADNESS!!! RD

    new 06 blues

    Ryan, As others have mentioned, your best option to maximize performance would be an Xcal or Predator tuner and a CAI such as C&L. Put it on a dyno to dial the tune in. There are other "goodies" that will eliminate the lag, such as underdrive pullies and 3.73 or 4.10 gears. RD

    LCA Gear Whine Sound deadening

    JT, I'll tag along with your question. Same situation... FR 410's and Steeda billet LCA's. The gear whine is terrible.:notnice: I have had the gears checked twice for set-up. There is no problem with the set-up. If there is not a sound deadening solution, I will pull the LCA's off, or I will...

    off idle hesitation?

    Of the two, my vote would be Brenspeed. I took mine to a mustang performance shop and put it on the dyno. They tuned it using an XCal. RD

    off idle hesitation?

    CAI + U/D pulleys + tune. So long to throttle lag.:)

    Dash Trim Kit Questions

    It is Woodview. I got mine from customautotrim.com. The part # is 05XB-MUSTG-DD (Auto) or 05XH-MUSTG-DD (Manual). The kit is a factory match for the IUP in the Mustang...Double-brushed. It is a very close match. Make sure you pay for an extra adhesive promoter pen (around $9.00). No more...

    Got hit (again)

    Getting hit really sucks. Its bad enough when an idiot rear-ends you. It is even worse when someone puts it in R and backs into you... It does make you wonder about having a new ride. People push shopping carts up next to your ride, throw their doors open, take a key to it, etc. I have to keep...

    What type of oil...?

    I thought the the new stangs came from the factory with synthetic???:shrug: You should be fine to go with synthetic after about 2k. Although it is more expensive, I use Royal Purple synthetic. I always change the oil around 3500 miles. RD

    Shock/Strut Suggestions

    Thanks Mr Q. I took your suggestion and swapped the Eibachs for the Steeda Ultra Lights. I matched these springs up with the FR non-adjustable shocks. WHAT A DIFFERENCE.:) I also added the Steeda billet camber kit and dialed the alignment in much closer. The Steeda springs did not lower the...

    Wheel Help?

    I would say chrome or polished bullet wheels on your red ride. Just my 2 cents worth... RD

    My Blank Canvas...pics

    Hey 2007 GT... I like your ideas/proposed mods. Individuality/personal expression is what makes our rides so special. The Performance White makes it very easy to customize, since the color combinations are really unlimited. I used chrome, red painted stripes, and black combinations on my...

    Couple things I don't like about my Mustang

    All of the liitle aggravations with my new stang are really the things that endear me to the car. Kind of like the wife, if she was perfect, life would be really boring. My wife is so short that she stands up in the floorboard and holds on to the dash to look out the front window. She can drive...

    Thanks kooldawg. Not bad for a 46 year old going on 21...:lol: I have tried to customize the appearance so that my ride can be distinctively different from everyone else's. You have done the same thing. Your ride is awesome:hail2: The great thing about this site is the ability to see all of...

    M-2005-FR3 Handling Pack opinions

    I just ordered some of the components that are part of the FR Handling Pack. I ordered the shocks and struts. The strut brace is very similar to Steeda's. I know that the shocks and struts are tuned for lowered mustangs. Steeda claims that they work well with the Steeda Ultra Light springs...

    Looking to install 4.10's

    kooldawg, I had 410s installed in my 06 GT auto. This car is now a BEAST. All I can say is WOW! There are two "downsides" for me. First, it is virtually impossible to get a set-up that will minimize the gear whine...a bit noisier than I would like. Second, you can sure tell a difference with the...
