    Just registered today, have a couple of questions

    Can't you also get x-plan if you own Ford stock? If you don't want to join MCA maybe you make an investment.

    What would a dealership consider abuse?

    Short of drag racing it every night, how could anyone possibly "abuse" a 2011 Mustang enough to require service at this point? The car's only been out for like 3 months!

    2011 Mustang Issues

    Wow, I had never heard about skip shift before reading this thread, then I googled it. I can't believe a manufacturer would do that. Let them screw around with the automatic transmissions instead.

    sct tuner or exhaust

    Get the exhaust first, that way you can get a custom tune for your setup with the new exhaust, instead of having to get a new tune when you put on the new exhaust.

    Bullitt or '11 5.0

    Someone in my town has a green Bullitt. I love that car. It looks really classy. As others have said the Bulllit will retain resale value better - it's already been depreciated. It's also a classic, limited edition car that got a lot of good attention when it was introduced. If I bought the...

    Are we cylinder snobs?

    Plenty of great performance cars have V6's, and plenty of V6's make more HP than the stock V8 on the GT. The problem isn't a V6 per se, it's the underpowered, gas guzzling antiquated V6 that Ford uses in the Mustang that's the problem. It turns the stock V6 Mustang into a poser car. My...

    Upgrades to my car without voiding the warrnanty

    Ha Ha. My dealer would find a way to argue that the supercharger caused the power window to break.

    Should I have dealer fix damage done on lot new?

    Maybe "overspray" was the wrong word. It is more of a paint defect. Right on the edge of the driver's side door, about where the handle is, it looks almost like a bit of tape or something is stuck on, but it won't peel off. I assume when they were painting the side panel of the door (the part...

    Should I have dealer fix damage done on lot new?

    +1 on that. In addition, the dealer may well screw it up and make the problem worse than it is now. My car has a bit of overspray on the driver's side door and I have decided to just live with it.

    Cloth Top Water Repellance

    Use the Ragtopp and you'll see some beading. No reason to wait. Don't assume that the factory treated it in any way.

    Shorty Antenna, which adapter?

    You might as well just spend the $20 and buy the shorty antenna from American Muscle. Install is quite easy and you don't have to mess with different adapters. Seems like this is a case of getting what you paid for.

    what to look for when buying my first Mustang

    Three months ago, I bought a brand new 2008 GT Convertible, manual, 18" wheels, Interior Upgrade Package, 3.55 rear axle, and some other options, for $27K out the door. Mind you, this was a convertible. In other words, at 24K for a used car you are not getting such a great deal IMHO. I...

    Would you want 315HP or 365HP?

    I agree this is an interesting question. V6 may be lighter, leading to better acceleration than you would get from just boosting the output of the V8 to 365 HP, plus you might get better handling. I do like having a V8, though.
