    Bought an 2007 GT500 to go with the 2005 GT

    How is the GT500 power and driving dynamics vs. the standard GT? I am looking for a similar mile and year GT500 ...care to say what you paid?

    Borla, Flowmaster, or other?

    I 100% agree. I work selling chemicals to American Industrial plants. If people think they are saving mony by buying china junk they are wrong. When you buy American parts all that money stays here and supports our manufacturing. Buying cheap off shore stuff is like walking over dollars to...

    Thoughts on upgrading from an SN95

    I recently owned a 02 GT convertible. I sold it last week because its was starting to need quite a few repairs. It had a 130k miles but was still a looker and the engine was great. Some of the squeeks and rattle were really starting to bother me and ive heard the new body style eliminated...

    back to 1996 Mustang GT convertible

    Really weird story. Since you added it I would sell it and find a different one that has nothing to do with your once best friend and ex wife. 96 mustangs are a dime a dozen shouldn't be hard to find or trade. Everyone is looking to trade these days. Just a thought!

    Grind going first to second when cold

    I have recently developed a grind going from first to second gear in my 02 GT. It only does it the first 3 or 4 times I shift from first to second. It seems after its warmed up the problem goes away. No other gears have problems and down shifting is perfect. I would think if a the syncros...

    I have a question for all you "5 Speed, Manual gurus"

    I think I have a similar problem. When the car is cold I have trouble going from first to second quickly with out a grind. After driving 10 min or so the problem goes away. If I shift it slow into second it does not do it. You got a similar problem?

    Bad ride

    So I put the stang up on jack stands to inspect the suspension. I could not find any play in the ball joints. Things I did notice..... Sway bar sub frame mount bushing looks a little worn. There is about a 1/16 gap between the bar and the bushing with the suspension at full droop. Also the front...

    Bad ride

    Not that I know of. It has stock spings. I did get an alignment done when I got it and all it needed was a tie rod end. I wish I could drive someone elses to see how it rode. I am thinking about trading it in on one with low miles in the spring.

    Bad ride

    I have a 2002 GT Convert with 123k miles. I have only owned it for 10,000 miles and the drivetrain runs good and it looks good but the ride is bad. I added MMS Full length sub frame connectors, MMS strut tower brace, Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires and its a little better but not alot. I...

    (MPG Related) Thinking of a Gt Vert as a Daily Driver.......

    I am getting 24-26 at 75mph with a 5 speed. I would think if you were going 65 you could get 27mpg. For a V8 car thats really good IMO.

    Cool thanks. I cant find a good shop that installs subframe connectors near Nashville TN. The shop that quoted me $700 said it would take 7 hours at $95 per hour. :jaw: Unfortunatly alot of people have money around here so I bet they get people to pay that. I am fully capable of doing it...

    Suspension help for new 02 Gt owner

    So from my reasearch eibach progressive rate springs have the lowest spring rates. I guess I could give them a try. I am still concerned if poly bushings increase the ride harshness.... Also I was quoted $700 to install MM full length sub frame connectors. I guess I will suck it up and do...
