    Mustang Gt Induction Sound Tube Installation On My 2012 V6

    Okay, full video is up now. My first time putting multiple videos together. And my only editing software is windows movie maker so it doesn't have provision to cut parts of the clips out so there is some non-action parts and the first part is a little shaky. Text article with some more details...

    Car Makes Noise When Turning Key. Starts Fine

    Sounds to me like it is the fuel pump doing it's thing but may be about to go belly up.

    WARNING - Ford has a problem with the 3.7L Motor

    I question the use of the term "cam follower", this is what Ford calls the part that the cam lobes ride against in the V8's but the 3.7 V6 does not use anything like it. On the 3.7 the cam rides directly on the bucket that fits over the top of the valve spring and retainer assembly, Ford's...

    short-fuse 2011 V6 track day pads advice pls

    2011 V6 cars use the same size front rotors as the 2010 and earlier GT, 12.4" instead of 11.5". The calipers are the same although the pads for the front may be different due to the larger rotors. And I doubt your 16" wheels will clear. The rear pads should work just fine, they are all...

    1999-2004 Mustang V6 Supercharger

    1999-2004 Mustang V6 Supercharger This is a custom built setup with an Eaton / Magnuson MP90 Series IV supercharger. This is not a commercially made “kit”, it was made by me in my home shop. This is NOT a oem thunderbird supercharger, it is a aftermarket unit. This supercharger...

    my test drive - 2011 v6 - HELP

    From your description it sounds like you really didn't like the car so why would you buy it? And if you had to "argue" with anyone at the dealership why would you do business with them? Sounds to me like you need to look for a car you really want at another dealership.

    2011 V6 and GT calipers different or the same?

    Very intelligent response. At least you know to give up when you've been shown up.

    2011 V6 and GT calipers different or the same?

    Call them like I see them. Those wheels are not available on a performance package car, only as option on regular Mustangs.

    2011 V6 and GT calipers different or the same?

    No jackass, you were the one talking about the MCA wheels that you only get with the MCA package.

    2011 V6 and GT calipers different or the same?

    MCA package is just an appearance package, does nothing for performance other than the slight improvement of the 18" wheels/tires. No upgrade to the suspension or ESC over a standard Mustang. You don't buy the Performance Package for looks, you buy it for what it does for the performance...

    2011 V6 and GT calipers different or the same?

    I've seen a couple of GT/CS cars and I am just the opposite, I like the black wheels MUCH better. Black goes with all colors, gray doesn't.

    2011 V6 and GT calipers different or the same?

    All the parts catalogs for reman calipers show the V6 and GT use the same calipers. So, if having the same calipers, not something special, will keep you from wanting a performance package V6 then I guess you better go for something else.

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

    Uh... The 5.0 (coyote is just the developement code name) is part of the Modular engine family, same family as the 4.6 so Ford didn't drop anything, just updated and improved. There is a huge amount of parts and support for the 4.6 and it is still a very viable motor for performance...

    2011 V6 and GT calipers different or the same?

    The V6PP is supposed to come with GT calipers, they look exactly the same from the outside as do all regular Mustang calipers since 2005 so a picture wouldn't help. I have not been able to find out yet if there is a piston size difference, that would be the only thing that would make them...

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

    And you would think that they are or should be doing huge discounts but they aren't that huge. Most of the 2010 GT discounts are in the $5,000 range including the $2500 cash back that Ford is offering on 2010's. So, the dealer is really only discounting them about $2500. A few dealers...

    Stopped in to look at the 2011's today...

    There was no driving any of them since it was Sunday and they were closed and I don't get into town where the dealer is very much. And I know the GT is quick but the V6 PP car that I want is pretty quick too and insurance is less and fuel economy is better and the price is lower. If I had...

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

    No, I'm sold on the V6 Performance Package car. I want the better fuel economy and lower insurance rates. And if the dealer comes off on the GT pricing that much they will come off the V6 too.
