    Official '05' V8 MPG Report Thread

    Closing a thread that has nothing but info because it is subjective would be silly, it's very valuable info for some people, especially those who are looking to buy and gas mileage is a concern.

    V6 Reliability

    So, my girlfriend is thinking of getting a used 96-98 style V6 Mustang. I've never owned a v6, only a 2 GT's and a Cobra, so im not really familiar with how reliable the V6 stangs are. Im wondering, should we worry at all about looking at cars with 70k or over miles, are these motors pretty...

    How safe is this A/F?

    http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=21649 Not sure if you guys can see that, but basically over 2500 RPM it's 13.5-13.00. Is that safe for a n/a motor or should I try to get it more around 12.5'ish? Just wondering if I need to get a new tune for the car after...

    3V - Is this A/F Safe

    I don't, I am really trying to decide if I need one which is my main reason for asking. I dont particularly want to flash my computer and void the warranty (basically) unless it's necessary.

    Severe corrosion on new mustangs

    It's 100% common, any car that gets driven in the snow or rain often is going to have that happen - but its just surface rust so what is the big deal? Most of that isnt stainless. This being said, I live in colorado and its been through rain and stuff, no snow though because I have other cars...

    So I went to test drive am 05 GT today...

    This seems to be the exact opposite of what a majority of the automotive world is saying. I've never seen so many positive reviews about a Mustang from the media, and from people in general. I think the sales figures once the supply shortage is shortened out will show how many people like...

    Manual or Automatic?

    This is silly, I don't see why people find driving a stick in traffic too hard. The clutch is also so light in these cars I can't see that it would be an issue.

    Manual or Automatic?

    Look, if you don't get the manual you are going to regret it. I was in the same situation with my 02 GT. GET THE MANUAL!

    So I went to test drive am 05 GT today...

    I think the interior is badass, I have no complaints about mine at all. http://www.tech-boards.com/images/2005gt/P1010117.JPG Interior feels anything but cheap, especially compared to the last generation of stangs.

    Drive live chatter ?

    I'm sure there isn't a problem, they probably just used less noise isolation on the shifter to give it a better feel on the GT model, and the sacrifice of that is more tranmission noise. I have some chatter too, it sounds like wheN I went from stock to tri-ax in my 03 cobra, but not quite as noisy.

    Magnaflow axle backs

    OK I was just looking at the [prices of the axleback and catback on partshopper. Why on earth is the axleback only $35 cheaper?

    No X PLAN for GT Mustangs

    My dealer would have given me xplan had I ordered, but waiting for 3 months would have caused by trade in to lose enough value that it almost wasn't worth it. Didn't get xplan, but I didn't pay MSRP either so im happy.

    Magnaflow axle backs

    Anyway you could get a video of the exhaust when you are actually driving? Rev's always sound weak compared to driving when the car is actually under load.

    Magnaflow axle backs

    I would think they should pass emissions as the cats are still there. I doubt there's any real performance gain tho.
