    what gear do u drive in

    In simple speak, the higher the RPM of the engine, the more HP and, more importantly torque you will have on your foot. So at times I pull a city turn in fourth when I know it and I and slowly get back to 40. Other times I drop to second so I can pull through the turn, and then hit 3. Just...

    what gear do u drive in

    Just play with it for a while. That's why a stick is more fun. shift here, shift there. you will fins your groove. Stay in high gears until to need it, then punch down, and you will find that oh, 4th is ok for an intersection, or you need 2 to pull out of this one. It takes a bit, but are you...

    2012 GT owners fuel cap/filler?

    I have to agree with this. A lock will only keep the honest folk out. If your realm is that bad, consider moving?

    Two days after owning my 2012 mustang gt, review

    I have 3.73's with the Brembo 19" and both my friend and I got 3rd gear scratches. I think it's road surface that helps make a "noise". I have never needed to turn trac control off. For me, why melt $350 tires for no reason... The six speed did take me a while to learn. My past was all 4, H...

    Do you recommend the 2012 Boss 302 for a daily driven car?

    I'll still have my F150 for dirt. But the Stang is for the good roads!

    Do you recommend the 2012 Boss 302 for a daily driven car?

    I seriously thought about it. But I went with the GT so I could have the Elec/Nav package. Oh and a back seat I will never use... I tried to justify the Shelby which comes with it all, but that would kill me to put the 30,000 miles a year I drive. To each his own and buy the car that makes...

    My 2012 GT first impressions Day 1

    I've got nothing against auto's. My 92 vette had an auto and it was amazing. I wanted a stick on mine, because I missed the driving experience of it. I would not dis anyone either way because it has be come a driver choice over performance issue. Although, I still think the stick is better...

    2012 audio question

    I have done some extensive research and the schematics and repair guides show and amp in the luggage compartment RH side. If the amp is separate, then you can pull pre-amp from there. I will post pictures later.

    2012 audio question

    Thanks! Now I am pacing back and forth and itching. People in the office are starting to notice... I have a `66 Stang so I have wanted one of these because of the style queues. I waited for the `11 with Coyote to even sit in one because I know myself. That's like a sex addict sitting in a...

    2012 audio question

    I am not versed in the details of the components yet, since my car won't be here for another month. ... But that is the case with the electronics package, then instead of bleeding the speaker outs for signal you're better off pulling the radio and finding the preamps in the unit. I hate doing...

    2012 audio question

    I am going to assume then that then S-500 has an external amp then. Or at least has preamplifier outs built into the connector.

    Up and down idle???

    This is exactly what my 02 F150 did and after a few months it started to miss sometimes at very low throttle at 60mph. It FINALLY gave a warning light, and it was a coil pack. After 160,000 miles I have had to do this 3 times. See if you mechanic can find a code that may or may not be saved...

    2012 audio question

    I like the scenario, makes me itch for my '12 GT to get here (eta 5-19). Itch itch itch. Ok you will always get more out of after market stuff. But only if you get good stuff. Notice I did not say expensive stuff. Back in the 80's and 90's, I installed many awesome show car stereos. Not the...

    How to: unistall the center console and dash of the s197 mustang

    Very well done! Thank you. My only scare was the air bag. As a firefighter, these things are deadly. They are solid rocket boosters in there you know... They are not a pillow. So take care with static when messing with them.
