    Get To Know Your Fellow New 5.0 Owners

    2nd Mustang, last one was an 08 GT in black with Steeda CAI and Brenspeed tune. Bought the 11 GT last July, Sterling Grey. Have added Steeda CAI and Brenspeed 93 octane tune. I love this car. I live in Frederick MD

    New 2011 GT Premium

    Probably just an intake and tune for now, but I'm really not feeling those wheels, so I think they will have to go pretty soon. Longer term probably an exhaust, as it is a little quieter than I'm used to.

    New 2011 GT Premium

    Picked up my 2011 GT Premium last night. Traded my 08 GT for it. I just had to have the 5.0 but I knew I didn't want another black car, so this time I went for Sterling grey metallic. It looks great, and even more importantly the car is fantastic to drive. I don't have a lot of seat time as...

    Sequential Taillights Question

    Guys, Pardon my ignorance, but what is the law regarding these sequential tail light kits? Could my car be failed if I took it for testing? Colin

    new rotors (not big brake kit)?

    Personally I don't think the standard brakes on this car are that great, at least not on mine. Maybe a better set of pads is all I need. I have looked at the big brake kits but I want something that doesn't require me to change my wheels. I have the 18" painted fanblades. Colin

    GTA axle back mufflers good choice?

    I got mine from Ninosport about 9 months ago for $269.00. I see they are now asking $499.95. Yikes. Very happy with mine, just the right amount of rumble and no drone, a must for me. At almost 51 I'm not as tolerant as I once was.

    Is your car paid for?

    Yeah you think I would have learned by now, I'm nearly 51. I had an F150 and had to get out of it, the gas prices at that time were killing me. Hence the Mustang. I earn a very good salary but even plowing everything I have into paying it off isn't going to help me that much if the job goes...

    Is your car paid for?

    You don't want to hear my story. You guys are all way better off than me. I have a 2008 GT coupe, just over a year old, with 5,800 miles on it, and garaged all winter. Because I rolled my previous loan into this one I still owe something like $34k on my loan. 5 years still to go. If I...

    Did the Steeda CAI include the Steeda high flow elbow ?

    what mods do you have planned for this year?

    Not to sound pessimistic but who knows if I'll have a job this year, so my only mods this year will be modding the amount I pay to my monthly payment to bring down the amount I owe the bank. I'd like it to come down to a level equivalent to or less than the car is worth.

    08 GT transmission noise

    Don't know how many times I'm gonna have to say this but the noise was there BEFORE the Hurst shifter was fitted, just that now it is even more easier to hear. I'm not blaming the aftermarket shifter at all. I also said if it's normal I'll live with it, as I do enjoy the car otherwise, but...

    08 GT transmission noise

    The dust seal is installed correctly. I had stripped out the console before taking it to the shop, and so I drove home with the dust seal clearly visible. I had it driven by another independent shop and pronounced "normal", so I guess it must be. I'm not going to waste any more time...

    Hurst Equipped Emblems

    I decided to put one on the right corner of the trunk lid above the light and other one on the dash just to the left of where it says "airbag" I'm not one for stickers or emblems on cars, but these fit in well with the whole retro theme of the S197 I think. Colin

    Hurst Equipped Emblems

    I got two of these in the mail after buying them on eBay. Where have you guys (who have them) been placing them, on the right corner of the trunk lid above the rear light or on the lower right corner of the trunk lid to the right of the faux gas cap ? I put the other one on the dash below the...

    08 GT transmission noise

    I didn't say I couldn't "deal with these minor nuisances". I more than understand, as I think I already said, that the Mustang is built to a price and is a no frills performance car. You guys have hinted more than once though, that I am either anal or can't cope with driving a real "mans car"...

    08 GT transmission noise

    OK, I've been driving cars for a very long time. I'm well aware that the Mustang is built to a price. It's a no frills performance car and I understand that. Actually in my opinion the S197 is by far the least crude of the Mustangs I have driven in the past, no offense to owners of earlier...

    08 GT transmission noise

    I get it, so in other words, stop whining ;)

    08 GT transmission noise

    I think you may be right, as the dealer told me today that what I was hearing was totally normal. If so, the Ford Motor Company is indeed in trouble. My GT premium cost around $30k, granted that is with options. I have driven other cars in the same price range that did not exhibit this kind...

    08 GT transmission noise

    I have an 08 GT manual with 5,000 miles on it, bought last New years Eve. I've noticed that the transmission is pretty noisy, with the noise being apparent at the front of the car and not coming from the diff at the rear. Yesterday I fitted a Hurst billet shifter, which of course has only...
