    Buying New Car: 2017 Mustang Or Camaro

    I'm going to go out on a limb here, and give you a third option. Historically I'm a Ford guy (owned five mustangs, currently own a 2010 GT). I really prefer the Mustang from a driver's perspective, and in my opinion it's a MUCH better looking car than the new Camaro. The Camaro doesn't look...

    Does anyone elses Sync suck A**?

    Or a 250Gb USB HD in the glovebox plugged into the 'hidden' second USB port with nearly your entire music collection is pretty cool too.

    New 2013 Rear Shot

    I'm not too thrilled about the plastic surrounding the license plate.

    Sync Emblem Question

    They're supposed to look like brushed stainless (there are horizontal 'scratches' on it). I thought you had a big gouge across it or something....the prize goes to Stanmckinney for being EVEN MORE nitpicky about his car than I am about mine; something I thought was not achievable until now :D

    WARNING - Ford has a problem with the 3.7L Motor

    That's a bummer tr6nut! Hopefully they'll come up with a fix soon and you'll be in a decent loaner car in the meantime. If all else fails just sell it to MakotoS13. He's been in the market for a V6 forever...and is constantly singing the praises of its reliability and performance(compared...

    Buy a used S197 GT or a NEW V6????

    ...and the displacement of your engine ;) Am I the only one who sees the irony of the "magazine bench racer enthusiast" comment? We get it MakotoS13! You dig the V6. Have you bought one? Can you comment firsthand on the excellent gas mileage (you're ACTUALLY getting in real life and...

    Buy a used S197 GT or a NEW V6????

    ...or do you buy one of the 2010 GTs that are still new on dealer lots and selling for huge discounts and incentives?

    TPMS

    I'm pretty sure it would have absolutely saved my tire in that situation and the the odds of me pulling over and checking would have been far higher than the odds of you checking your tire pressure every time you get in your car (or even weekly for that matter)...just sayin'... Also, I've had...

    WWYD...Mounting issues with my 2011 California Special

    Sounds like how my black 08 was from the factory. It was as if the clearcoat was thin in spots. I fixed it by buffing it out with swirl remover to a glossy polish. Wax and clay bars will do nothing. ...it takes a fine abrasive. Maybe you can get them to spray a clearcoat and buff it out...

    TPMS

    TPMS is useful. I don't care how often you check tire pressure....there are situations in which it can help...and SAVE you money! I had a 95 cobra that I had Eibach springs installed on. Later the same day I took a 3 hour roadtrip to Seattle. On the way I felt the car pulling a little to...

    Mustang Gt 5.0...High speed dangerous?

    The Mustang is a front heavy rear light RWD solid axle vehicle and is prone to spinning out....EVERY Mustang has been like that from day one. I have a friend that managed to curb her V6 Mustang by applying too much gas on wet pavement. If you're familiar with a rear wheel drive car, you...

    Opinions on the value of the NAV option

    They charge...and it's expensive. My parent's have a Mariner and it's still under warranty (only a year old) yet they want to charge for a map upgrade...their Cadillac gets free upgrades while under warranty. I don't think anyone is questioning the functionality of the Nav system (it works...

    Opinions on the value of the NAV option

    I have a 2010 GT with the Shaker 1K...no nav. I don't need nav because I have a cell phone w/ data plan and GPS...and I can get turn by turn speech directions through SYNC which are more useful than seeing a map on the display in my opinion. If I had the nav, I'd likely still use the SYNC turn...

    Shaker 1000 and Navigation system

    I'd just as well use the SYNC voice nav over the display.

    80mph+ steering vibration

    As long as Ford doesn't determine the car has been "abused" why would it? Speaking as a GT owner, I can say for myself that I'd be pretty upset if taking my stock car, on street tires, for a 1/4 mile run (for fun) at the local dragstrip would void the warranty. I don't see any reason why it...

    2012 BOSS 302 - It's Here!

    But the GT500, a GT, or even the V6 beat it with an ugly stick! :D

    80mph+ steering vibration

    How about the liability of Ford or the dealer if you are injured or killed while going over 80mph as the result of a manufacturing defect? There are certainly SOME places...the track being one of them....where you can legally drive past 80mph. If the car wasn't made to go past 80mph it...

    My 2011 V6 w/Perf Pack will literally fly!

    I'll take the loaded 13 second car....with a V8. The 2010 GT is a couple thousand cheaper to start with, not to mention the thousands off you can get in factory and dealer discounts. The GTs also have better options than what are available in the V6. -Just my choice; and gas mileage wasn't my...
