    05 Mustang GT as first MANUAL car

    My '08 GT is stock and I've never had any throttle lag with it. Is this something that plagued only earlier S197s?

    3V Spark plug change hell

    Yikes, you guys are scaring me. No one makes a better-built aftermarket plug for this engine? Bosch? Champion?

    There's a girl like that where I work. She was in my office just the other day telling me how she was waiting on some louder pipes for her Harley...

    No one has mentioned girly car yet, but I sure have gotten a bunch of mid-life crisis comments. It's all in fun, as were my earlier comments in this post. A V6 car would likely have been just as fun as this one, and a bit more practical MPG-wise. I think the authentic V8 rumble has more...

    No offense meant to the V6 guys. Actually, a guy I work with brought in a V6 coupe and I was surprised at how much power it had. It's become a running joke between my wife and I. If we see another Mustang, we always comment on whether it's a Mustang or a gelding. :p

    You've got that straight! My wife wanted to know why I had to have a Mustang with a V8. I explained that if it doesn't have a V8, it's not a Mustang, it's a gelding... (The V6 guys are going to hate me for that one...)

    Yep. I also use my truck when the sun's not shining. It's an '05 diesel RAM quad cab. :D

    Thanks for the complements. I've pretty much decided to go with Borla ovals for the mufflers. That and the new Hurst billet shifter will be my first mods. One minor change I did this past week was to put yellow halogen bulbs in the fog lights. I also put some red LED wedge bulbs behind the...

    08-HID question

    It's HIDs for both. The HIDs put out a wonderful bright light, but I wouldn't say they're $525 better... IMHO you could spend that money for a more useful option.

    Horrible Gas Mileage! I need help!

    I got an even 27 mpg on my way to work this morning, according to the info display. My commute is 35 miles one way at 65 - 70 mph, low traffic. That's better than I expected.

    The GTAs sound a bit tamer than the Flowmasters, and I'm thinking they might be the better choice for a convertible. One other question: Would I be better off running a full syn 0w30 oil in this car, or is 5w20 the way to go? Then there's the full syn 0w20 oils. I can't seem to get a...

    Thanks for the compliments and info. I'm loving this car! I listened to both GTAs and Flowmasters on Youtube today. I listened using headphones to get the best possible idea of what these sound like. I liked the outside sound of the Flowmasters the best. They just kind of have that '60s low...

    I've loved the Mustang ever since I saw the first one in a Ford showroom in May 1964. I was 8 years old. Now I've got one. This one has everything, including HIDs. Manual shift of course... The only thing I want to change on it are the mufflers. Something with a good sound, no drone that...
