    Torque Management?

    to my knowledge there isn't any end-user programmer that allows you to modify the TM algorithms yourself. I think the most that the existing programmers do is adjust, refine or switch off TM under certain throttle positions or driving conditions. There are so many variables that can initiate...

    Torque Management?

    Torque Management works in several ways. In a drive-by-wire car like the Mustang is soffles throttle response to minimize drive-line shock. It can also retard timing to prevent the engine from detonating further if a lean condition is detected (especially evident when going to a forced induction...

    Battery

    Your tow truck driver has been mislead. It's apparent that there is something in the electrical system that is putting a drain on the battery. It could be a short or other faulty component. As for letting your car sit, if it is going to sit for a prolonged period, a few months, putting it on...

    Updates on K&N Aircharger experiences?

    there have been tests done that show that despite the K&N flowing more it also passes more debris compared to a stock paper filter. So, for the best of both worlds, running the K&N filter with one of their Dry Chargers helps improve debris filtration.

    Steering Shimmy at Speed =\

    A friend of mine has a 05 GT and is running 17x9 Cragar SS rims with Nitto 235/50-17s up front and they have balanced perfectly off of the car 6 times in a row in the process of trying to find the cause of this shimmy which occurs while cruising between 60-70mph. He has tried another set of...

    3rd brake light and ducktails...

    anyone have any insight on potential inspection issues if you put on a CDC ducktail or equivalent that covers up the 3rd brake light? I've been trying to look at other spoilers, but the CDC is my favorite and if I eventually go that route, I'd like to blend it into the rear deck and fender...

    Fresh from SEMA...

    i like the paint design, it cuts down the perceived height of the car, but those wheels, some things I just don't believe should be put on a Mustang.

    Clear Corners

    if the markers/signal lamp housings can be taken apart and have a removeable colored lense, take that out and then if you want to add a clear lense that will disperse the light, use some lense material for flourescent overhead lamps from Hone Depot. They sell them in 2' x 2' sheets for a few...

    new Challenger

    this is terrible... why do they have to bait us with a concept that may or may not see production until 3 years from now.. ugh... they do this all the time. Like the Charger concept from 1999, I believe, and IMHO the one they did produce looks nothing like a Charger, but what it does look like...

    took the K&N to the track.

    some drag radials would help knock that ET down but cutting down your 60'.... could prolly get to a 14.5 or less.

    Fit and Finish - How's your's holding up?

    Ok, I'm gonna take someone's advice and rent a Hertz Mustang for a weekend and see how it goes. For Friday till Sunday is $107, or $44.99/day. So, maybe before snow hits I'll rent one for a few days and see how I like it overall.

    Fit and Finish - How's your's holding up?

    StangOwner2B is on track with what I'm getting at. I will look into renting a Mustang for maybe a weekend. I did test drive both a GT manual and V6, the first two to come into the Causeway Ford here back in late October '04. From a driving perspective, with the GT, in 40* dry weather the...

    Fit and Finish - How's your's holding up?

    You could also try Griot's Garage Vinyl/Rubber Dressing. I think they also have plastic cleaner as well. It's not greasy, doesn't attract dirt or dust, has UV inhibitors in it, no petroleum distallates and gives a nice satin finish. Zaino Tire Gloss can also be used for the same thing and all...

    Fit and Finish - How's your's holding up?

    Well, that's a ashame that you're complacent with those sort of idiosyncrasies. However, this is exactly the sort of stuff I was wondering about with the new model. It's 2005, not 1965 and quality control, materials and fit and finish have come a long way. I was hoping that the Mustang would...

    Fit and Finish - How's your's holding up?

    I test drove a few of the first '05s that came into the local dealer here in Manahawkin and up in Lakewood and they seemed pretty tight. However, now that a full year has passed, I'm interested to hear any experiences with squeeks, resonance, panel fitment, wear/tear issues. I don't own...
