    All Hail the Mustang, man I love this car!

    I'm right there with you, COBESGT. My '08 GT coupe is the best combination of performance, comfort, and value I have ever owned. Way better comfort, brakes, fuel economy, and handling than my '69 SS396 Chevelle, '68 390 AMX and '67 Firebird 400. The only thing I miss is the low end grunt of...

    saw a ZR1 on the road today...

    A guy driving a ZR1 pulled in to the parking space next to me at a Publix supermarket. It is an awesome machine. He said he got a 'deal' buying it from Heard Chevrolet when they went bankrupt, was planning to flip it for a profit. I wish I had that kind of money to play with....

    09 reverse lights stay on

    +1 on the sticking reverse light switch. I believe the reverse light circuit disengages cruise so it can not engage when in reverse.

    Resonators for Stinger Drone reduction?

    Thanks for the input walter and COBESGT. Good info, will file it for future if my CFO releases Mustang funds. I received another suggestion - Ford GTBs, Bullitt mufflers. Anyone tried or heard GTBs behind stock manifolds, cats, and a FRPP x-pipe? I might sell/swap GTAs for a pair of GTBs...

    Resonators for Stinger Drone reduction?

    Sorry to rehash old news, but have reviewed numerous threads and still do not have a clear understanding. I have '08 GT coupe with FRPP CAI, 91+ octane tune, FRPP x-pipe, and have run FRPP GTA and 5GT Stinger mufflers. The Stingers sound great, and the car seems to be peppier with the Stingers...

    2007 Mustang Shelby GT price

    JJ - NADA lists the '07 SGT. With 18k miles, Atlanta market, $31075 clean retail (dealer), about $26000 clean wholesale. I would split the difference, offer about $28500 for a nice sale by owner. Good luck!

    Rear axle ratio choices

    This is an interesting thread to me. I my my awakening to muscle cars due to a used car my dad bought when I was a new driver. A '65 Olds Cutlass Vista Cruiser V8 wagon that we thought was a slug. Until yours truly, the 16 year old budding enthusiast, discovered a huge Rochester Q-Jet under...

    Rear axle ratio choices

    Why kill performance? Sub 3.00s will yield a slug off the line, and in-town MPG will suck. A good CAI and tune with exhaust mods will get you to near 20 mpg town, near 30 mpg hiway. I am doing it with my '08, and performance is very good.
