    2011 V6 Performance Package - Worth It?

    Okay...I was pretty set on the performance package before but the opinions of you learned gentlemen have pretty much sealed the deal for me. Thanks!

    2011 V6 Performance Package - Worth It?

    I love the sounds of the performance package on the V6 but is it worth it? I'm not going to be racing the car or anything even remotely like that but do appreciate good handling on the windy mountain roads in my area. Opinions anyone? Thanks in advance!

    Trouble Finding Basic 2011 V6 Info!

    I'm a very enthusiastic 2005 V6 owner chompin' at the bit to get a 2011. Would likely have gone to the Camaro or Challenger if Ford hadn't wised up and vastly improved the 2011 but I'm definitely sold. However, I'm having difficulty getting detailed info. on the packages, options, pricing...

    2005+ Bra for V-6

    I know those black vinyl bras are not exactly the best front-end protection options for any number of reasons but at this point I'm simply looking to cover up some bad nose dings, etc. Believe me, no clear coat protection or "armor glove" would have prevented these and they look like crap. So...

    2005 Bumper Cover Question

    My 2005 V6 front bumper cover got pretty well mangled and needless to say I'm looking to replace it. I'm not in the market to make my much-loved V6 "look like" a GT but does the GT front bumper cover fit the V6? Does the year (2005-07) matter? If I can also consider GT covers that widens my...

    2005 Dash Rattles

    Already have 40k miles on my 05 with no problems except for a couple of annoying dash rattles or vibrations. I solved one particularly annoying one at the windshield post on the driver's side and one at the door lock knobs. There are, however, some pesky ones still driving me nuts on the dash...

    05 Dash Rattles...TSB Anyone?

    It would appear many of us are suffering from the same condition...and I'd be willing to bet it's the same with the GT since the interior construction (as is most of the car of course) identical. The dash rattle seems to be coming from two places; the driver's side and the passenger. Light...

    05 Dash Rattles...TSB Anyone?

    Love my 05 and had some things taken care of early on according to TSBs posted on this site. However, has anyone seen any TSBs related to ongoing rattles and vibrations in the dash? I kind of doubt it and I am assuming Ford is going to leave it up to the owners to deal with them or just learn...

    Another MPG Thread

    I haven't really analyzed the whole thing to any great degree but I've been getting (according to the dash display) a little over 26 mpg average between highway and local driving. I cruise the highway doing 75-80 (just keeping up with the flow) and shift (I have a stick) at around 2200 whenever...

    stripe removal

    Yep, poke up the corner(s) with your fingernail and let 'er rip! Like some folks have said above, if it's a very warm day you can probably do it without anything more than that. However, I used a hair dryer on mine and had both sides off within 15 minutes with NO trace of adhesive or anything...

    PUT the COFFIN back in the Ground

    Yep, I couldn't believe how downright sh.....the coffin muffler sounded on a provided soundclip; definitely way ricey. I simply put on a Flowmaster 40 on my V6 which sounds great. Less than $200 including the installation with a chrome tip.

    Black Chrome Billet Grille - Upper and Lower

    I know I've seen these before...the "billet" style grilles (upper and lower) for the V6 2005 Stang in polished black chrome but now that I'm looking to buy, I can't find them anymore. Does anyone know who has these? The polished chrome or brushed finish are a dime-a-dozen but I prefer to have...

    Strange Rattle in Right Rear Wheel Area

    I FOUND IT!!! Finally, after two months of living in rattle hell and the guys in the muffler/exhaust shop treating me like some kind of retard, I found the source of my rattle. It is (was) indeed related to the installation of my Flowmaster; all it was was a single steel rod brace that was...

    For those who drove the GT and v6...

    I agree with most posters here on this thread...the V6 is fine in terms of power (and of course, looks) for us average Joes. I'm not into racing anyone and the V6 has so much more punch than any other car I've ever had it's still a thrill after almost 5 months. One thing though, I keep seeing...

    Strange Rattle in Right Rear Wheel Area

    Hey pwhite05....I wonder if we're hearing the same thing? I posted this exact question on the other Stang site and got a reply that sounds more likely. The reply came from a guy who had an after-market muffler installed and it turned out to be that the brackets were rattling against the...

    Strange Rattle in Right Rear Wheel Area

    Anyone else hear of this problem...there is a really strange rattle, somewhat loud, that's coming from my right rear wheel area. It only starts at highway speeds, is very intermittent and starts and stops for no apparent reason. The only common element when it does occur is that increased...

    V6 convertible rattles and vibration

    Proud and ecstatic 05 V6 coupe owner here but I have a similar story relating to my previous car...a 96 Honda Accord sedan. When we got it from the dealer (used) it had some pimped-out after-market rims. When we got the car up to highway speeds (which we never did on the test drive...stupid...

    Where are the 5-speed V-6's?

    Howdy from the land of fruits and nuts (Cal.) and one very, very happy manual V6 owner. In general I believe the general rarity of manuals in Stangs (GT and V6 in particular) reflects how lazy the average driver has become. Personally, a car like a Stang with a manual just ain't right...not at...

    Strange Rattle in Just-Installed Flowmaster Muffler

    Well, I suppose this is sort of tech-related but figured I'd be more likely to get an answer here than in a tech-specific forum. Here goes....Just had a Flowmaster 40 series installed on my 05 V6. Gives it a geat tone and it's a lot of fun to gun the engine in parking garages. However, there...

    Just Installed Flowmaster 40 In V6...Yee-Ha!

    As for the exact model number of the Flowmaster I had installed, I'm not sure but I do recall the guy at Midas saying that he called the company and was told whatever latest model they had for the Stangs fit in the 2005. Sho' nuff' it fit and it sounds great. Also, although I specifically...
