Wow, thanks!

I live in Iowa and daily drive a 12 GT. I have a beater for the snowy days, but I drive the 'stang year round when roads are clear. I recommend all-season tires, as the stock Pirellis are terrible when it is cold. And by cold I don't mean just freezing cold; <50 degrees and it is very...

Would a 2012 GT with intake, cat-back exhaust, and bama race tune be putting down around the same HP as a stock Boss 302?

Yes, 9K is very short. Most people get 12K at least. I blame it on some spirited driving, a few autocrosses, and cool weather which causes traction to break more often than not.

I've worn out the OEM Pirellis that came with the 2012 Mustang GT with Brembo package. Tires lasted only 9000 miles. These tires performed well on warm, dry days, but became very noisy when worn, and traction at cool/cold weather (<60 degrees) was pretty bad. And needless to say, their life was...

Found the source of the problem. It was at of the rubber/plastic connections in the CAI. I sealed it back up, and hope it stays like that. I am not too happy about how those two parts fit together on the Airaid CAI. It is the big tube and the rubber ring with "Airaid" on it. Ironically, if I...

I just started experiencing rough idle issues on my 2012 Mustang GT. Revs drop to almost stalling, then climb back up, every few seconds. Other than when idle the car runs fine. Mods are Roush AB, Airaid CAI, and Bama tune. Appreciate your help.

I have a 2012 GT with Brembo package and 3.73 gears. Tires are already needing replacement. Rears are 2/32 and fronts 5/32. Only 7K miles, car is less than a year old. Wow! Those Pirellis don't last long at all. Is this to be expected? How are other people's tires holding up?

Hello, I compete in F stock with my 12 GT. It is a very casual division in my region, and I won without almost any competition. Next year, I will be doing some mods, and was a little confused about class progression. Why aren't any Mustangs in the Street Touring (ST) classes? From the...

Hello, I have a 2012 Mustang GT. I am considering a CAI but I have some concerns about it. I used to own an '08 Mazdaspeed 3. I installed a CAI but I did not like the high pitch whooshing sound it produced. Should I expect the same from my Mustang? Or was the sound like that mostly because...

Cool! I also have a 12 premium GT with Roush exhaust. Note that the tone changes a little bit after the exhaust breaks in. It becomes less raspy (good), but dronier at certain RPM's (bad).

My 2012 Mustang GT has problems playing my iPod. I searched online and found that there is a Sync update that fixes this. I went to my dealer and they had no clue what I was talking about!? I also asked about disconnecting skip shift and they had no clue either. Am I correct in that there is...

This is me at a small track: 2012 Mustang GT at the Iowa International Raceway - YouTube

I am the proud owner of a new 2012 Mustang GT premium, performance white, Roush AB exhaust, 3.73 gears, brembos, and appearance package with scoops, louvers, and spoiler. I am pretty happy with it, but I'd like to point out some things that could be improved. Just nitpicking (or is it...

I plan to drive mine in winter here in Iowa. They do a good job here clearing the roads in winter and the roads are mostly clear unless it is actually snowing or a storm has passed recently. I have an Audi A6 2.7T available for when the roads are covered. Even though I won't be driving my...

Well, the sound is gone with the extremely hot temperatures. The dealer agrees it may be some rubber bushing temperature-related issue. Since it is not dangerous, and happens only in record temperatures, the advice was to do nothing. So far, so good.

Still awaiting for the service visit tomorrow. However, there is an interesting update. The car has suddenly stopped making the noise. Coincidentally, the temperature has significantly cooled off after a strong heat wave; from scorching sun and heat indexes in the 120's to cloudy and 70's. Could...

BTW, I am investingating more and test driving it, and it looks like the Front lower control arm bushings that Sharad mentioned (thanks man). I got my appointment this Friday; is it safe to drive the car till then?

Well, the problem seems to be getting worse. Now the creaking happens all the time; not just on rolling from a stop. And it does seem to be aggravated by bumps/maneuvres, so maybe it is that TSB after all? Also, this might be totally unrelated or not, but while rolling on 2nd and hearing that...

Thanks. If you are referring to TSB 09-24-16, that is a completely different issue. Mine has nothing to do with going over bumps. It happens over smooth surfaces also.
