    How many miles on your S197, total and yearly

    bought my 07 in nov of 07. Got 140000 miles on it now. Still got the original clutch. Car's been awesome! just getting the headlights replaced so they're shiny again. Just recently took the broken lumbar support out and the ruined foam out of the seat and put in new foam so the driver's seat is...

    Everyones opinion

    It seems that men generally do gravitate to big machines, fast planes, cars, machinery etc. At times it seems maybe a bit shallow but we just seem to gravitate toward it. In general we don't gravitate towards domestic chores or taking clothing or makeup. I'm not trying to sexist but most guys...

    Radiator Flush ---a few quick questions

    Beware, don't put cold water in a hot engine for obvious reasons. Also, with the coolant still cold, the thermostat won't open so it won't flush properly unless you take that out.

    Best upgrade I can buy to transfer HP to the road with a 2012 5.0?

    In the interests of noise/vibration/harshness the OEM lower control arms use bushings that are too soft. Also, the arms themselves aren't very high quality, they are a stamped steel piece that has flex in it. To solve the wheel hop get a new set of lower control arms. Steeda, bmr, and quite a...

    Rear tires worn out too early on 2011 GT

    I dunno, the pirellis on my 07 lasted 70000 miles and I was hard on them.

    Anyone else notice

    I don't even want sync or any of this techno stuff in a mustang anyway. If I did, maybe I'd want a luxury car like a bmw, mercedes, or cadillac but I don't. I want a mustang. I believe the more gadgets and gimmicks you put in there, the more there is to go wrong. I'd rather have a very...

    Here a clunk, there a clunk...

    my 07 has always had little clunks right from brand new but since they were always there, I figured they were ok. so far I've got 130000 miles on the car and nothing has gone wrong with the transmission or driveshaft. I kinda like the clunkiness because it feels like you are operating a piece of...

    New 5.0

    I never have traction control on. I think it's better to just learn to drive properly. On my 07 it won't cut power until you're already sideways and that's a dangerous time to be cutting power. It also doesn't sound like its very good for the car. Neither does it look or sound very cool when it...

    New GT tomorrow

    I'm usually on ice blue too. the only exception is that red promotes better vision at night on long dark highway drives (opens your retinas more or something) but then I find the high beam light glares too bright in comparison so I end up settling for green which sorta in between the two.

    Confused on what to do

    blower is probably best bang for the buck as long as you keep it under about 420 hp or so the motor should be fine with stock internals. Personally I think blowers are something everyone does, for mine i'm gonna try to go NA. intake, tune, headers, cams, maybe port the heads. btw, from what I've...

    Anyone experience this while launching?

    same thing happens in my stock 2007. If I launch hard with a quarter tank or less, she won't get the gas. I won't go to the track with less than a half tank.

    problems with the new V6 6 speeds ???

    I'm well aware that's it's not all parts from here. Hell when I swapped the brakes out the rotors said "Brazil" on them if I remember correctly. I'd prefer the whole car was made here but I guess it bugs me more when its major parts like transmissions and it also bugs me more when they don't...

    Can daughter fit in back seat? ('11/'12)

    I bought a Mustang because I have a daughter and didn't want a car that wasn't useful for anything. I have a 6 year old and she fits there fine, as do I. Once I went for a drive to go get some wheels/tires for my mazda 626 and forgot that I had my truck full of all my work equipment (which...

    one time use bolts

    Yeah I figured it was one of those things that's better to do that way but not the end of the world if you didn't.

    swaybars make you lose traction?

    I've got a specific reason I was asking this actually. I noticed my stock swaybar endlink bushings seemed worn and when I found out what a new set of links cost at the dealer, I figured I'd upgrade to a better set of links with poly bushings. I ordered the BMR links, but read it wrong. It said...

    one time use bolts

    What is the technical reason for one time use bolts? How does work and why is it so important. I installed BMR LCAs and my understanding is that some of those bolts are one time use. I didn't have bolts and didn't have time to go get them so I put the old ones back in. How big a deal is that...
