    For All Those Interested in Speeding Ticket PREVENTION, Please Read!

    Speeding on an empty freeway by yourself - not dangerous to others. I agree with that bit. Also there are times when you may have to speed in order to change lanes safely - we've all run into people that think it's funny or are plain oblivious to your presence or signals and will speed up to...

    Zaino users question......

    Awful becuase of the price or awful because your son didn't know how to use it correctly and so got poor results? One bonus with Zanio Z2 and Z5 - you can use it on the black plastic exterior trim parts and it'll look fine - you just polish it up - no white streaky residue crap - and none of...

    Zaino users question......

    Do you mean how it separates out into 'layers' of the various components after sitting in the garage (seems to be worse if it sits in an unheated garage over a cold winter) for 8 months? By shaking the crap out of I can get it to recombine. Man my wrists and arms were sore after ten minutes of...

    This is pretty funny

    Yep, there are uninformed folk on both sides of the debate who need to slow down, take a few deep breaths and read the current, unbiased scientific research conducted by scientists who have nothing to gain before regurgitating parrot fashion what they heard someone else say. Oh and another...

    This is pretty funny

    The V8 Mustang's fuel economy is no worse than the other 80% of the other vehicles out there on the roads. And it is not cars it is the fuel source - fossil fuel that is the real enemy. We need to switch to combustible fuel sources that can be produced and consumed with *far* less environmental...

    I am about to p!$ off a bunch of you

    LOL. Here we go again. A 500 HP stang is not a life or death purchase. I'd like a half million dollar Ferrari or even a nice new Z06 but the dealer won't sell me one for what I can scrounge up. All these people getting this riled up over this is silly. This is capitalism at work, the system on...

    2007 Shelby GT500 Pics and Specs

    Yep. And don't forget the Stang makes a little over 300 HP on 87. I'm pretty certain those fancy schmancy 4 valve motors need premium? Anyone have more info?

    Okay, NOW I'm angry. (Got tapped)

    Yep. The guy in the Porsche should have had a) the balls and b) the courtesy to stop and check for damage. The fact he didn't shows what a ****ing arrogant c****ucker he is. No different from the crummy wankshafts that ding folks doors in parking lots and drive away as if nothing happened. FOAD...

    Ricer from hell (Horribly off topic)

    Agreed, the work itself isn't too shabby, but the subject matter is whacked. Observations: I hope the fuel filler in the roof never leaks or anyone enjoying a smoke in the back seat is due for a rude awakening. The CoD for that thing must be like .6 at least :).

    farking gas prices!!!

    Yes. -Don't tailgate... drive smoothly and keep a safe distance so you don't have to keep hitting the brakes when others ahead of you do. Course you can't stop morons from diving into that gap that you're leaving :mad:. -Observe posted speed limits... the faster you go the harder your...

    CHP Discrimination against mustangs!

    Anytime you are doing more 5mph over the speed limit, you are fair game to any bored cop I think - seems to be the rule around here. Certainly that is the rule I stick to and I don't have problems (touch wood!) in my C5 which stands out like a sore thumb since it's loud (well, when I get on thas...

    Take a look at this<

    Me too! :cheers: If GM can keep it's head above water and if a new Camaro does get built (too many if's for my liking), you can be sure the V8 flavor will be faster than the Mustang GT :D (since a new Camaro will surely use the 400 HP LS2 or some variant as found in the C6 and GTO). I'm...

    How do you disable Event Data Recording? New Computer?

    I though the autobahn was unregulated speedwise? Really, anyhoo... never heard of that. If that's really how it works, the problem I see with that scheme is just as you have people hacking cellphones and whatnot, i.e. strealing device ids and other similar scams, you will could end up with...

    How do you disable Event Data Recording? New Computer?

    Well, I don't know about Ford cars, but for GM vehicles like my TransAm the black box has been in cars for a while. It DOES record the most recent few seconds of driving activity... i.e. inputs such as speed, airbag deployment, braking etc. And in some cases has been used to help prove the...

    Mother nature destroyed my baby.

    Ouch! We had hail last week here in Madison, Wisconsin and one of my work buddies had his week old Yellow 05 GT outside. Fortunately, the hail didn't get any bigger than a 10c piece and there was no damage to be seen. That said, ever see those inflatable, clear plastic carstorage bags you...

    Any '05 GT owners here (or if you plan to buy one) who frequent Great Lakes Dragway?

    GLD is close for me tho'.... about an hour and a half. Byron is more of a haul. GLD has gotten better since they started the program of improvements. Oh well enjoy the new stang!

    Any '05 GT owners here (or if you plan to buy one) who frequent Great Lakes Dragway?

    Hoping to run someone next year, stock vs stock, just for a bit of friendly fun and to see how the GT stacks up. Oh yeah.... I have a 99.5% stock (subframe connectors are the only mod) six-speed '95 Ram Air T/A BTW. Yeah I know it's at least 3 or 4 months away before GLD opens again but I'm...

    Does the 05 GT beat the 02 Z28's and T/A's?

    From what we've seen so far, sounds like just an exhaust & intake (is a PCM reflash needed with the new Stang's ECU?) are all it takes to easily level the playing field with a stock LS1 car. Then again if the LS1 owner adds exhaust and intake... swings and roundbouts I guess. It's all good fun...

    Finally added some pics of the interior

    Works with Grey too I think. Guy at work had an 04 M3, grey/gunmetal with red leather... looked awesome.
