    Order a 2019 - Recaro or regular seats for comfort?

    I prefer the racy looks of the Recaro seats and believe that is the only way to get the my color option as well. This car likely won't see anything more than the occasional track day so I am concerned about comfort for all day drives for the 99% of the time I'm not racing around. Any consensus...

    Anyone Else Coming From An Sti And Want To Share Thoughts?

    I had a 2011 GT that I had to sell for "moving from a house with a garage to an apartment without one reasons." When everything got settled down in 2015 I bought a new Golf GTI. I had hoped it would have enough performance for me an while recognize it is no STI, it did run a turbocharged...

    FRPP Axle Back or Magnaflow?

    If I go with Magnaflow axleback, is it a simple unbolt and bolt on affair? With my Mach 1 I had to cut the stock mufflers off and it would be nice if this was a bolt on and off affair so I could easily go back to stock if I wanted. Greg

    FRPP Axle Back or Magnaflow?

    I finally let someone else sit in the driver's seat of my 2011 GT and standing behind the vehicle couldn't believe how quiet the car was. I had a 2004 Mach 1 with a Magnaflow cat-back and it sounded about ideal. I assume a 2011 would sound similar with a magnaflow but have never heard the...

    Pair iPhone with two different sync vehicles

    When I paired my iPhone with my Mustang it gave me a PIN to enter into the phone. Does this prevent a person from pairing the phone with a 2nd Sync system? I could enter a new pin for the new vehicle but I assume the old pin and the old vehicle will no longer be recognized? Anyone know? Greg

    Seattle area shop to paint Le-Mans Stripes

    Anyone know of an auto body shop in the Seattle area that does Le Mans stripes? I know any shop can do it but I'd like one that has done a few and would rather avoid Maaco. Greg

    Window Sticker Residue

    My 2011 Mustang GT has some sort of residue from where the window sticker was applied. Given how often I have cleaned the windows if it hasn't come off now, I doubt it will. This isn't any sort of sticky residue you can feel with your finger that you might use a solvent to remove. It is...

    any problems with the new 5.0s?

    Can you link to the TSB? Were these early build cars or later? I left the forums after taking deliver of my car in July so as to be able to ignore these problems. Now I feel like I shouldn't have gone away. Greg

    '11 GT w/Brembos - need winter tires/wheels

    Well the time has come to either not drive my '11 GT until April when the weather gets warm or buy new tires for the season. I'll keep the stock combo for warmer weather but need to get new 19" rims and a tire for winter driving. The car won't see snow but will see wet roads and temps below...

    New White 2011 with Blue Stripes

    Thank you Five Oh Brian with Bowen Scarff Ford for the awesome buying experience. I never got to shake your hand that day but we'll run into each other in the near future. On to the Mustang. I am actually a pretty good photographer but have yet to get good light and a good location for my...

    Need stripes and HID lights

    Most people swear by 3M vinyl graphics. My car will be garaged when not driven so I expect they'll last years. If not, they can always be re-applied. I found a local shop that will do 10" stripes in addition to a Boss style L stripe for $500 including tax. The color is Olympic Blue which...

    Manually shifting an automatic on freeway onramps....

    Generally speaking 2 means starting out in 2nd gear which helps with wheel spin in inclement weather. 3 means keeping it out of 4th if you are going up and down hills and don't want to over work the transmission. Greg

    Adding Le Mans stripes, tapered or not

    Some sites sell stripes that are tapered from around 10" at the leading edge of the hood to around 13" near the winshield. I think I'd rather go 10" stripes at constant width but have not seen any pics of the tapered stripes other than on the website I see them for sale and that car has a...

    Need stripes and HID lights

    Stripes are 10" wide I think . . . Google Baltimore Mustang Street Mods. That will pull up one source for stripes. I have another at home I'll try to remember to PM you. Are you going to do the striping yourself? I haven't decided if I'll install the grabber blue stripes on my new white...

    2011 Mustang 5.0 GT order/buy price

    I don't have access to X-plan, A-plan, employee pricing, etc. So I am like most people who have to secure the best deal I can. A dealer that posts here regularly offered me a car for a lot less than MSRP with no ugly haggling. PM me and I'll get you his contact information. Given how many...

    HELP,,, 3.31,3.55 or 3.73 for 2011-5.0-GT?

    If the 3.55 allows 2nd gear to reach 63 mph whereas the 3.73 only allows for 59, you lose time having to shift to third gear with the 3.73 while the 3.55 is still in 2nd gear. This would only hold true for zero to 60 as opposed to zero to 65 but it demonstrates how closely spaced the gears are...
