How would you equip yours? I’m settling towards a premium with the 401a package, automatic trans, performance package and active exhaust.

I’m referring to the optional package that includes adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking assist and lane keep assist. I’m trying to figure out if this option package also includes a full 360 degree perimeter camera or sensors to assist with parking. I would like the automated...

I was very impressed with the car overall and the automatic transmission. In fact, the biggest reason I wanted to test drive one was to see how the automatic was. I probably went into it with a slight expectation that I’d dislike it, but I thought it was great! The one I test drove had the...

Wife can't drive stick. If/when they come out with paddle shifters/manual shifting ability for the 6-speed automatic it is going to be VERY difficult for me not to go find a black loaded GT and buy one!!!

I REALLY want a new stang...but I really like the the "manual mode" in my current auto-equipped car. Before anyone says "get a manual"....I had a manual 2001 GT and would get a new stang with a manual if I could...not an option this time around. Doesn't Ford already put shift paddles in...

Thanks - just so I'm clear on this. . .when I loosened, then tighted the two caliper bolts tonight, I didn't put any wrench on the pin to hold it. The bolts did - after a zillion turns - eventually tighten. Did I really tighten them or did they just finally stop spinning for some reason...

I had a local speed shop install new pads and rotors about 6,000 miles ago (late spring). When I got the car back, the brakes felt totally different than my stockers - there was no immediate reaction when I hit the brake pedal. Over time, that sensation pretty much went away. The car has...

It sounds like your dealer is actually being very cool. It's awesome that they are willing to hook up a "flight recorder" of sorts to log data on your car. I'd definitely take them up on that if your pingissue persists. Regarding your last question - all other things equal, heat is often a...

Check for a loose intake housing clamp that may be causing a vacuum leak/lean condition from unmetered air entering post-MAF. I know you said it's stone-stock with no mods and it's pretty new, but you never know. It's worth checking. Then, I'd take it to the dealer. My 01 GT (no knock...

That sounds darn good! I heard some flows on the S197s before and didn't really like it. I'm guessing that h-pipe really helps it. Also, nice ETs. Didn't realize the autos could go so fast with minimal bolt on mods. Are you getting those ETs with the KDWS stock tires? I've got those tires...

This isn't for the hardcore stangers, but for those of you who like me don't mind getting a little weight savings or performance gain when replacing a worn part, get the Interstate MT-58 battery to replace your stocker when the time comes. No, it isn't as light as some of those small...

I've had the Steeda UDPs on my car for over 4 years and although I haven't had a mechanical problem with them, they look completely trashed now. Actually, I had a ton of chips on the crank pulley after only 6 monthws (where the powder coating wore off.) Stock crank pulley on my car was...

My 4.10s have whined a little from day one - mostly when I'm inbetween on/off throttle. The alum. DS and steeda shifter amplify the noise. The good thing is it's been like that for 2.5 years and I've had 0 issues with the rear end so I tend not to complain much about it. It's a lot worse in...

I just bought an XM radio (think it's the audiovox Xpress) and I'm having trouble finding a good aftermarket mount. I don't want to use the sticky tape that came with the unit - I want to mount it on the side of the HVAC/radio trim cover (passenger side, but under the pass airbag area.) Any...

Yup - tons of slack /click/clack in my driveline too. It got better when I swapped the 3.27s for the 4.10s. I had the shop set the gears up with super-low backlash and it at least reduced the slack so it's much easier to drive. But it still has quite a bit of slack for my taste. I'm pretty...

DPFE sensor? I believe this is the sensor that regulates EGR - since you're having a problem at partial steady throttle but it's fine at WOT and you've already replaced the EGR valve, this might be your prob. Check/change the plugs, then give this a try.

Why not? They work well. I seriously doubt any of these aftermarket shock/strut combos are "tuned as a set" to the point that anyone would notice it. MAYBE the Eibach set, but even that I doubt. To the thread starter - I have mixed and matched, and no it's not a big deal. I speak from...

20ish in the summer (50/50 mix of local and hwy driving) and 18-19 in the winter. Pure hwy I get around 23-24mpg cruising at around 74mph. Interestingly, pre-gears my normal 50/50 driving netted about the same numbers - even a little worse when driving locally. Pure hwy did drop 1-2 mpg...

I've got steeda sport springs, Tokico Illums on the front and bilsteins on the rear along with MM LCAs. The ride is way more controlled, a little less brake dive and in no way is the ride harsh. Taut - yes; harsh - nope. Drop is mild - maybe 1.25 in the front and about 1" in the rear if that...

Here's a link to my soundclip on mustangexhaust.com: http://www.mustangexhaust.com/forums/soundclips.php?catid=22 Just scroll down a little and you'll see mine. I have to say it sounds a lot "meaner" when the engine is under a load. It's not the greatest clip but it's not too bad either.
