    Non-destructive way to mount front plate?

    The person who started this thread has an excellent holder. I have one for my '07 Mustang GT and am very happy with it.

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    When I looked at it while my car was on a lift, it appeared on the right hand side, about midway between the top and bottom of the case. I wish I had taken a picture of it! At any rate, I believe it was a paper sticker.

    When I looked at the tag on a replacement transmission I got, the tag had a build date of 9/12/04 and a number starting with 2R. As the transmission feel is improved, I've got to believe the updated parts are in it. I thought I read another person's post that mentioned something about 2R or...

    Where are the mustangs being built?

    Unless I am mistaken, the car would have to be delivered at a Ford dealership. I think there is one extremely close, but there doesn't appear to be any facilities at the plant where the delivery inspection would be done. In addition, the financial transaction and title work would need to be...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    Sorry, my question might not have been phrased well. What I wanted to know was where the number would be stamped on the transmission, if indeed it is there. If it's not, perhaps you would know where to find the build date stamped? Thanks!

    Thanks a bunch! I'll check to also see where the location of '3R' is on the transmission as well. Of course, if you know and want to tell, I won't mind.

    Excellent - I was looking at 17 x 9s all the way around in the same wheel, but that looks fantastic! Great job!

    Do you know how your dealer determined the build date? I recently had the TSB peformed but reverse gear no longer worked after it was done. Consequently, the dealership gave me a new transmission. I asked them to confirm it has the revised parts, but apparently they could not determine the build...

    Well I wasn't impressed ....

    Cost, I suppose, is one factor, and suspension tuning the other...some people have reported in their test drives that it is a "nice riding" car, which bodes well for its acceptance by a broader customer base. The 17" tires, with a higher sidewall, provide that ride comfort. For those who can...

    Well I wasn't impressed ....

    The platform itself is an all-new one, "inspired by" but not a direct make-over of the LS platform. This information came from the Ford engineers who presented at the MCA 40th in Nashville, TN this past April.

    Well I wasn't impressed ....

    The tires are actually an ultra high-performance all-season design from Pirelli. Take a look at this Tire Rack comparison article and the owner reviews for the P-Zero Neros. At $128.00 from the Tire Rack, they seem to be a reasonable price/performance trade-off. Many people complained about the...

    2005 Mustang or Subaru WRX STi

    When at the MCA 40th in Nashville, I asked a question about the sideways hop being either reduced or minimized with the new rear axle set-up. I was told that most of the hop has been eliminated because the side-to-side motion is better controlled by the Panhard arm. It sounds promising.

    2005 Mustang or Subaru WRX STi

    One of the Mustang engineers I spoke to at the MCA show in Nashville is in charge of ride and handling. He said that two of their benchmarks were the BMW M3 and the Infiniti G35 coupe. They were brought along to their driving evaluations at race tracks. The front suspension design is very...

    05 mustang's weight

    According to statistics we've got on the Mach 1 Registry, the weight of the 5-speed manual version shows as 3430 lbs. On the copy of the invoice I have, the shipping weight is listed as 3317 lbs. I have assumed this is the weight without a full tank of gasoline (~ 16 gal @ 6 lbs/gal = 96lbs) in...
