    Gas mileage help

    The owner's manual and edmunds.com indicate the capacity is 15.7 gallons. I wouldn't try to verify that with my car in reality, just saying.

    2008 GT Exhaust Recommendation

    Those numbers don't mean that much to me as the dyno runs were done by the manufacturer. With that said I've seen some 03-04 Cobra guys that saw 18-20 hp gains on the dyno. Most GT guys claim that it'd be worth all of 0-2 hp.

    Suggestions Welcome for next 3-5 mods...

    I've heard of people with drag radials breaking their stock axles with stock power levels. :shrug: So if DRs are in your future I'd have some money saved for a new set of axles, or just install'em at the same time you do your gears while you have the rear end apart. But in response to your...

    groaning noise from the PS system

    So the weather is getting cooler now, and I noticed a bad noise coming from the steering when the power assist kicks in. I've checked the fluid level and it's between the MIN and MAX. The owner's manual stresses not to overfill the reservoir, so I'm assuming the level it has now is fine. Should...

    2008 GT Exhaust Recommendation

    Cat-backs won't net you much gains either, unless your car is supercharged/turbocharged (which stock Mustang GTs aren't). So the only benefit to cat-backs in this case is the mandrel-bent exhaust tubing (which again, don't net you any performance gains). So if you want a better sound, you'll be...

    start-up

    When this problem occurs, is the engine warm/hot, or cold? I realize you have a v6 but there's a thread in the 4.6L section about "hot start" problems: http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/783582-car-hard-start-when-hot-how-fix.html And according to that, your problem might be fuel related.

    Any drifters in here? RB25 240 build.

    School me on these engines. Is this the Skyline GTR engine? Because I thought those were known as rb26. Nice car BTW. Looks like you have a GT500 killer there. :nice:

    Where to Put My Emblem???

    Between your rear speakers maybe? Because then the emblem would be looking into the sky..calling the autobots. :lol:

    Am I going through withdraw?

    Yeah, on the bright side your car is still fixable and as mentioned before, you'll appreciate your car that much more once you get it running again.

    Stangs Are For Pretty Days... Post ur DD.

    Aren't daily drivers supposed to be cheap to operate and good on gas? :shrug: Seeing all the modded trucks and SUVs made me wonder. With that said I daily my Mustang. :lol:

    What am I doing wrong (dragstrip question)

    I'm not an expert on cars but I'm not sure if I'd wanna race on a stone cold engine. That may result in warped heads/block wouldn't it? And thanks for the compliment.

    What am I doing wrong (dragstrip question)

    1) No sir. I'm racing at Atlanta Dragway, which has a altitude of 1000 ft and the DA at the time was in the 3000 ft area. As for comparisons, a s197 GT500 with 315 DRs was running mid to high 13s, a 460whp Terminator running the same times, a stock Harley F-150 (the blown one) matching my...

    Best Ford Commercial - EVER!

    That is awesome. Something exactly like that happened at the Atlanta airport, except the soldiers were leaving instead of coming back. edit: well, thinking about the video again, I'm not sure if they're leaving or returning, but either way I witnessed/participated in a standing ovation myself. :)

    Are rear seats leather?

    LOL totally different type of commercial but still good. "A car that'll get you from your mother in law's house...to the unemployment office."

    TSW Jarama wheels?

    They will fit fine but they'll increase your fender gap because of the shorter sidewalls. If I were you I'd look for 50 series sidewalls for the front and 45s for the rear. And no I have no experience with TSWs.

    Sure is a good commercial. It's been out for a while though.

    06 17' stock bullits fit a 2000?

    They will fit, but tell the buyer the 06 wheels have a higher offset, which means they will go further into his fenderwell. I think the difference in offset is like 21mm. But that's nothing that can't be fixed with wheel spacers.
