    Fuel Gt 6 Spd Owners. Whats Your Highway Mpg?

    Just did a cross country road trip in my '12 GT with 6M and 3.55 gears and averaged 23.6 MPG highway and city combined. 80 to 90 MPH on most of the highway runs (Posted S/L of 75 in most places). Did 6400 miles door to door. The Brembo suspension about shook me to death in Texas but other than...

    Got my new toy!

    Congrats on the new ride! What color did you pick? 6A or 6M? Pretty fun ride I'd have to say! I'm still kinda afraid of mine! Ah, just found the pics. Very NICE Best David C 2012 GT, 6M, Factory 3:55's, Brembos, BBK CAI and the loud Flowmasters!

    Oil Change

    Hey, how come my 8 quart oil pan only took 6 quarts of Mobile 1??? I showed the tech my owners manual that certainly says 8 quarts and he told me his "guide" book tells him 6 quarts. (Texaco Express Lube Chain). He showed me the stick and the level was at the full mark. I drove the 4 miles...

    When to switch to Synthetic Oil in '12 5.0?

    I believe the 'additive' for any new engine is zinc. Comp Cams sells it as an additive to use all the time when using their grinds. The newer oils seemed to have done away with this important ingredient as engineering and machining tolerances got better in these later years... I just did my...

    More China??

    This may have been covered here before but I want to mention two things that I discovered today. It appears that the 19" wheels we get with the Brembo package are made in China. ref: www.fordracing.com. Then, in the May edition of 5.0 Mag, I read that the piston cooling oil jets have been...

    2012 GT Suspension

    Makes perfectly good sense! However, the BBK was very specific about 'No Tune Required' and I will say that additional torque was experienced SOP and the sound change was considered invaluable! Now, its flexing muscles at the front AND the back! '12 GT Stripper, 6man, Brembos, BBK CAI, Ford...

    Fuel Gt 6 Spd Owners. Whats Your Highway Mpg?

    Yesterday, at 60-65 MPH in the rain on the freeway, the computer showed me 28 MPG with my 3:55's. Tach reads 2K at 65ish. '12 GT, 6Man, BBK CAI, Flowmasters (American Thunder, axle backs), Brembo Package, 3:55's.

    2012 GT Suspension

    Did not retune the BBK CAI as I bought the one that did not require a different tune (according to BBK) Thanks for the info on the MGTA info. Did it lower the car about 1"? Any bumpsteer/alignment issues after the install? And, yes, I agree with you....there is plenty of power here! Don't need...

    Just picked up my 2012 Mustang GT tonight

    Certainly nothing wrong with the 'base' GT!! You still get all the go fast goodies like that awesome 5.0 Mod Motor!! I ordered a 'base' GT with 3:55's and the Brembo Package and just love it! Add some nice mufflers (I did the Flowmaster American Thunder) and a CAI and you will have more HP than...

    2012 GT Suspension

    Happy New Year All. Has anyone gone with the Ford M-FR3-MGTA Suspension Pack? Briefly, it's lowering springs (1"), larger diameter anti sway bars, non adjustable Tokiko shocks, SVT upper strut mounts, shorter jounce stops, etc. Price is reasonable from American Muscle and many other sources...

    Lowered the stang

    Spacers....I put the 50 mm spacers in the rear of my 04 GT and had no problems. They really helped with the stance and bringing those rear tires out to where they belong. I believe I purchased them from American Muscle. Simple Install. I think they were a bit more than $80 but had a beautiful...

    Automatic Temperature Control

    I think I would rather buy a really nice radar detector first....:lol:

    Best Bang for the Buck?

    For SURE....do the Flowmaster American Thunder axle back mufflers!!! Did mine on day one of ownership of my 2012 5.0 and just love the sound! I would say barely street legal but without the dreaded drone! Fantastic sound with all the pops and gurgles you would ever want. SOP says 10 hp and maybe...

    Brembo brake sqeal

    I have the Brembo Package on my 2012 and have no squeal; but then again we only have 3000 mikes on the car. I gotta say, I love the smoothness of these brakes but the factory pads seem to produce a ton of brake dust. It is about the same as my EBC track pads that I had on my 04 GT.

    Going to the Dealer

    Quick question.....will the Ford Dealer look at our cars with a Cold Air Intake installed or do we have to revert to the Factory setup intake b4 going in?? In my last post, my 2012 started blinking the 'check engine' lite and then power just went away. When the lite stopped, power came...

    Check Engine Light Blinking, NO Power

    So today I run my 5.0 2012 GT up the on ramp to the Freeway, no power shifting, no redlining; hit the top of the ramp at 60 or 65 MPH, merged into traffic and the check engine light starts blinking and I have little or NO power. Kinda scary.... when the light stopped blinking, power came...

    I'm Looking For a Deep Loud Exhaust..Need Some Help!!

    The exhaust note is purely subjective to the listener! I am running the axle back Flowmasters with my 2012 5.0 and to me, they have a great sound. Can be quiet around the Cops but really open up and 'scream' when under throttle. No harsh interior noise and yes, you get the pops and burbles...
