    Options For V6

    The ragtop is nice but $$$. My 05 is a ragtop. I have a sunroof in my daily driver (08 Malibu LTZ) and honestly, I never open it, and I mostly keep the sunshade closed. When the car was new, it leaked, when they adjusted it, they never seated it properly so now it produces a lot of wind noise at...

    Options For V6

    Echo7, I wouldn't say it's cheap for a brand to make a car, but certainly less expensive than the Eco & GT. It's sad that the 6 was going to be entry level & rental fleet and entry level to Mustang. They could do a lot with that 6... Just as Cadillac and Chevy have done. The Caddy ATS or...

    Options For V6

    I agree with this statement regarding the Mustang. The V6 seems abandoned. No premium options and it's HP sits around the same as the I4, that does have premium options. Seems like Ford has left the V6 out of the stable... I4 Eco - 310 HP V6 - 300 HP GT - 435 Problem is that Ford price pointed...

    Thinking Of A 08gt, Any Advice Is Appreicated

    Few things, if he'll let you take it to a reputable mechanic for an inspection, that would help, or bring the mechanic with you, that would help on the mechanical stuff. For the body, as a detailer, I like to take a good look at the paint, look for any inconsistencies, I use a Flex light and a...

    Options For V6

    That's too bad. Chevy is making the most of their V6 package in the Camaro with 2LT / RS Package. 335 HP V6 with all the goodies. With that said, it tops over $30+K. I think Ford missed the boat on this, thinking that either the GT or the Eco would carry the performance. The 2LT got great...

    Options For V6

    Looking on-line at the Ford configurator; is it true that the V6 does not come with heated leather seats, nor coolio's (cooled seats). I do see remote start as an option... I have to have at least 5 options in my next vehicle: V6 Remote start Coolio (cooled seats) Warm Butt (heated seats)...

    More Muscle Cars

    This is a good thread. We saw a complete decline in 2 Door vehix, yet Japan and Germany still crank them out as an offering to their 4 door equivalents. Regarding the Retro T-Bird, it was not that it did poorly, it was never planned to be a long production run with high prod numbers. It was...

    Should I Buy 06 Gt With 129k Miles??

    Same as everyone else has mentioned. 129K on a Pony car with 129K is really nothing. If it were the 70's or the 80's it would be EOSL for most cars at that mileage, but today's cars, if kept mechanically sound can run up to 300 or 400k and still have a good fit & finish to boot. Things sure have...

    Anybody Drive Their Gt In The Winter In The North?

    Where in the North do you live (just town....). So one car is a garage queen and the other will be dd (daily driver) somewhat? The best thing to do is NOT go through the full service car wash. You will be installing scratches and swirls into the clear coat. If you must, the laser touchless are...

    Factory Paint

    If you opted to do the Expel or 3M Clear bra installed by a high-end installer, the seams will be less noticeable, certainly from a 3 ft view. Only thing you can do is Dr. Colorchip every x-miles and respray when it gets really bad.

    My Son Wants To Buy His First Car... A Mustang!

    Agree with everyone - 2005-2014, (2005 to 2009 were identical, and few minor body mods between 2010 & 2014). 2005 was the first year of the retro redesign. Upside to a GT V8 is they're fun... down side is, well.... they're fun... especially in the hands of a young man. Insurance may be a bit...

    Decklid Blackout...paint Ruined :(

    Are those marks deep scratches, or paint that has been completely removed? Or is it just resin form glue? Hard to tell from the photo as to the extent of the damage. My decklid panel was on for over a year, adhered with double stick tape. I worked it pretty good and gingerly with goo be gone...

    Going To Drive My '14 Mustang Gt Cross Country

    My only suggestion is if you're into detailing, detail out the car first... Wash, Wax, Clay, then go over it using a DA with a good finishing polish, then look at applying CQuartz, Blakfire or Opti-coat to coat the paint. Also getting a 3m clear bra on hood, bumper cover, leading edge of fender...

    Dealer Decals

    For getting the decal off, as suggested above, but you may also check with a local body shop or a shop that specializes in wraps and wrap removal. After you get the decals off, it may be a good time to do a thorough wash (by hand), clay and then either use an AIO such as HD Speed, or a...
