    Thinnking of changing 1 '09 GT for another

    Why don't you go talk to the dealer and see how much money you are going to lose in the deal? I would guess that it will cost you at least a few thousand. That might make it easier for you to decide. I wouldn't worry about the production numbers for the different colors. I don't see these...

    2013 Gt Auto Supercharged Wont Hook Up Spins Spins Spins

    You should probably put the all seasons on it. I think the Goodyears are not recommended at temps in the 40's. Pretty much no summer tire is going to grip at that temp. My Dunlops get really slick when it is that cold.

    Looking To Buy: Shelby Vs Cts-v

    The 2010 was the newer body style with a better interior. The 2011 GT500 was the first year for the aluminum block which drops a lot of weight off the nose. The 2013 is the new 5.8L engine with 662 hp, but you probably wont see any used ones around. I am assuming you are looking at the...

    Crate Motor

    If you got a high mileage V6 and just swapped in the powertrain, you are still left with the 7.5" rear end, the stock suspension, undersize brakes, no exhaust, and an interior and paint from a high mileage car. The power steering system would also have to be replaced, the 5.0 cars are all...

    2010 Mustang Vs. 2011 Mustang

    Either way, whether it is the GT or V6, you will be getting an extra hundred horsepower by going with a 2011 car. Unless the deal is much better on the 2010 car, the 2011 is the way to go.

    Drivetrain New Gears Or Engine Bolt-ons?

    Another thing to consider is that the gears will void a much smaller part of your warranty compared to bolt-ons. If you do a tune and CAI and you have drivetrain issues, they are not likely to cover you. Gears should not really affect anything other than your rear end.

    Engine Whats You's Opinion Supercharger Or Turbo ????

    There are more tuners familiar with superchargers as well. The number TVS based blowers out there is probably at least ten times as many as there are guys with turbos. They are a more proven system for our cars with more support from tuners.

    Hellion Turbo...what To Do Next?

    You should be good, just find a good builder that knows how to tune mustangs. A bad tune will blow up even the best built engine.

    Hellion Turbo...what To Do Next?

    The fuel system (pump and injectors) if not already done. The stock clutch, if you still have it, would not last long. If you don't drag race with slicks, the transmission should be ok if you don't abuse it. Make sure you do research and get a good builder and tuner, don't shop on price...

    Wilwood Sl 6r/4r Bbk For 11' Gt500?

    Even if you are a beginner you should get some higher temp pads and fluid. The stock pads are likely to get trashed, but at least they would fade gradually. If you boil the fluid, your pedal can go to the floor with little warning. It might be a better deal to get the brake setup from the...

    What's The Ideal $34k Daily Driver Build?

    Unless you are doing autocross or track days you don't really need the Recaro seats. Go test drive a V6 and a GT to see the difference, it is really up to you what you want out of the car. You are the one paying the $34k. Not that I don't agree with the GT with Track Package votes, that's...

    I Want To Make More Power!

    It is not the block that is the issue, it is the connecting rod that are the usual failure. You are going to have a hard time getting all you want for under 7k. You can either do some upgrades to your M90 (CAI, 2.49" pulley, tune) or get a forged bottom end and put a TVS blower on it. There...

    Clunking From Passenger Front Wheel/suspension

    If it is something in the tire you can just take it off and roll it on the floor and see if it makes noise. If the wheel is rubbing on something you will see a shiny spot on the wheel I would think. Make sure the tire is not rubbing on the wheel well, mine does with the wheel turned all the...

    Clunking From Passenger Front Wheel/suspension

    I think if it was something inside the tire then it would increase in frequency as you speed up until a certain point and then get quiet as the part gets held against the tire by centrifugal force. This might be what is happening but he didn't say it stopped at higher speed. What do you mean...

    Common Problems With 2005 Gt

    The spark plugs will probably snap in half when you go to change them, which is a pain to get the piece out. The strut mounts are weak and are prone to failing, which makes a popping noise in the front end. There aren't many big problems with them.

    Tire Wear

    I don't think cross rotating them would help anyways, the only way to try to even them out is to dismount the tire from the rim and flip it, but it wouldn't work with directionals as you said.

    Tire Wear

    Scalloping is usually a toe issue. There is not really any caster adjustment that I am aware of. If you want more camber adjustment, I have the Steeda HD strut mounts and they have a degree of camber adjustment. I am at -1.5 degrees, mostly for autocross. The stock strut mounts are junk...

    Lean Code Since Installing New Throttle Body

    There really aren't significant power gains with switching the TB on a mildly modified engine. Most people have the same problems as you. I know it is not what you want to hear, but the easiest thing to do it just put the stock one back in.

    Will A 2010 Roush Supercharger Fit On A 2007 Gt?

    The intake tube on the 05-09 runs around the passenger side, in front of the motor, to the driver side. The 2010 goes straight from the back of the blower to the driver side. You would probably be better off finding someone selling a used blower off a 427R, quite a few guys sell them after...
