I purchased the car with manual because I wanted to shift the gears! I live 4 miles from work so driving in stop 'n go traffic is not an issue unless I have to go down town (Phoenix) then it can be a pain. The drive train is noisy. There are threads posting about that you can read about. The...

Worst: Gas milage. The V-6 is a gas hog at in-town driving. I typically drive just 4 miles one way to work. I get about 14 MPG. On the open road it does fine at mid 20's. Best: Fun factor. Top down, shifting thru the gears, taking curve fast, looks from other's. I didn't talk much about...

Well while I have both a Jeep and a S197 conv, I'd agree with RPBURNETTE about buying a used Jeep and keeping the Camaro (oh did I just say that, keep a Camaro???). I toyed with just buying a new 4-door Wrangler (selling my CJ-8 and not buying the 07 stang) , expecially a CRD version which is...

Never even tried my golf clubs in mine. Didn't buy the car for playing golf. I have extra long driver shaft as well . . . Do you haul around 4 people in your stang? What is the back seat for anyway - midgets right? Take out the seats and put in carpet in their place. Reduces weight...

Man I have had my car now since June, 3 full months and 3,000 miles. I noticed over the weekend that the left-hand seats side bolster next to the door on the surface that towards the interior of the seat is now wearing and has developed a small spot in the leather! I think it is simply from...

Well I keep watching how I drive the car as a clue to all of this. The last tank of Costco 91 OCT gas I got 15 mpg in mixed driving. About 2/5's of the tank was at freeway speeds of 75mph and the rest at back and forth driving to work. Got 14 mpg the first part of the tank and by the end of...

I'm in agreement with Stangdude2000. We bought an 05 Avalon LTD new in May of 2005. The Phoenix Toyota dealers sold the LTD in basically two configurations, one fully load which included the Nav and Remote Start, the other without these features. I had talked my wife out of this expensive...

OK I'm really not sure why you want to upgrade to GT brakes. Its all about stopping distance right? So does anyone have the hard facts as to what the 60-0 stopping distance is for V-6 with standard brakes verses GT brakes on the V-6? Are we talking inches or feet here???? Or is it...

Hi guys, I saw the other thread posted today about upgrades for performance and thought about posting in it but thought it might be better having a seperate one as I am looking for a different result. I have just purchased a 2007 Conv Pony Package V6 with 5-speed manual tranny and have about...

Amen!:)

Like I said we each have our own reasons for buying. Price, style, insurance are all part of the equation. I could have purchased the fastback styled car and got the alsolute cheapest Mustang (V6 Deluxe $19,300) but I don't like that style, never have, never will - it's butt ugly to me - my...

Well I never drove a V8. I didn't want the temptation. Most of my cars in the past have been turbo 4-cylinders or 6's. I have been driving my V6 now for about 6 weeks and can say it get about 15 to 17 mpg in town. On a road trip of 100 miles I got 28 mpg. Each of us has our reasons for...

I asked the guestion because . . . 1. I didn't even give it a thought about build quality or being loyal to Ford and found myself simply wanting a new sports car at a reasonable price. 2. I looked into purchasing a used car ('65 thru '70) but couldn't bring myself to spend $20 to $30k for old...

I am assuming you all must have similar taste in cars since we all own a S197 Stangs. What if the S197 Stang was not available, what car would you own? As I read thru all of the posts in the forum, I found several where owners were having problems with their cars and going thru the lemon laws...

I really like the style of that S197 Cougar! I had a '70 XR7 as my 2nd car. Traded in my 6-cylinder '65 Mustang coupe that was my first car. The Cougar was bigger, had more power, more luxury, quiter. I miss both cars! I think the S-197 Cougar would be a great idea. It would fill in...

Now that is an interesting solution. My concern is with the tight radius of the various pieces, how does the product keep from wrinkling during application? I am also assuming that once applied it can be simply peeled off if damaged or if a mistake is made during installation.

I have about 1500 miles on my '07 convertible. It has a 5-speed. Not driven a manual transmission in sometime now, I was expecting a much quiter drive train. At times I it sounds like I'm operating a sewing machine! I get a lot of clunking from the 1-2 shift and 2-3 shift. When I have the...

Had mine a month now as well. Darn car payment details and the metal license plate came in the mail today! Guess its not new now :( After having a 92 Volvo wagon as my daily driver for 2-years I can say this car is one of my all time favorites. Handling and response are great. I like the V6...

Thanks for the suggestions. I had not come to that just yet, but may consider it. I'm just afraid that from my previous experiences with paint on chrome (my old rust Jeep CJ-8), it doesn't stick that well and with time will wear off. I don't mind doing it but I hate have to go back over...

Is there an option or a kit that the dealership can install to replace the chrome rings around the A/C vents and instrument gauges? Too bright for my taste. I'd prefer carbon fiber or flat black.
