    Pics of my ’11 GT with new wheels, tires, and tint…56K, run for your life

    Some areas of the country don't get high speed internet. they have 56K dial up connections that makes opening threads with pics very challenging. As a courtesy, I was letting them know that there were alot of pics in the thread so they don't try to open it and hang their computer.

    Pics of my ’11 GT with new wheels, tires, and tint…56K, run for your life

    Pics of my ’11 GT with new wheels, tires, and tint I joined here years ago when I was thinking about a 2005 GT. I ended up going through a couple of VWs and, most recently, a tuned BMW 335i before I found myself in a 2011 GT. I look forward to becoming a contributing member of the forum...

    Holy Schnikies! New Lexus IS 350 is fast.

    I was absolutely shocked to see the new Lexus IS 350 (NA V6) matching the performance of the beloved Mustang GT. Car and Driver just did a comparo in 100+ degree heat in the desert and this thing turned 0-60 in 5.1 and 1/4 in 13.7 off an auto tranny! I just thought I'd let folks know that...

    Neat burn out video i found

    The car belonged to XMP (mustang modders) and was gutted shortly after to be redone for entry in the SEMA show last year. I guess they figured why just throw the tires away when you can vaporize them.

    Cadillac CTS-V Oh My...

    GM has reportedly fixed (or at least reduced) the wheel hop issue with a TSb for a new set of bushings. Supposedly reduces hop and strain on the rear end making them a bit more durable. There is also something called a KARS cradle which sounds like an advanced concept of what we used to call...

    Cadillac CTS-V Oh My...

    Jenn, I meant no offense. I simply had info to add to the discussion. Sorry if I came across that way. 03 SVT, yes the 2006 will have the LS2. I would be interested to see exactly what if any improvement it brings to the car.

    Cadillac CTS-V Oh My...

    The CTS-V is a 6 speed manual. The STS is an auto. The interior you posted is that if an STS. CTS-V is equipped with the LS6 motor from the Corvette Z06. 0-60 around 4.7 secs and agile as well. Top Gear pitted it against an Audi S4 and it smoked it around the track (the S4 is AWD). It is...

    2nd month of soft Mustang sales

    Brandon Ford here in the Tampa area has quite a few 2005 Mustangs (GT,V6,vert, and an assload of Roushes). Salesman's first words to me abou the 05 was that he could get the surcharge removed with no problem. I still refuse to pay MSRP so I'll wait a while. They also have several 2006 stangs...

    Black rims on white cars?

    O.K. Anybody know where I can get a set of gray or black wheels with a polished lip that weigh less than 30 pounds without spending my kid's college fund? I know I can have custom wheels made with HRE etc but I will not pay more than 350 per wheel. Any thoughts? Looking for 19x9 and 19x10 or so

    Black rims on white cars?

    Stock wheel is about 27 lbs. I doubt i will feel 3-5 lb per wheel. The tires just barely protrude. You really don't even notice it. The wheel set up just looks more agressive which leads you to a closer look and then you notice it. I don't plan to lower the car since I prefer a somewhat...

    Black rims on white cars?

    I am getting really close to pulling the trigger on a performance white GT with red interior. I have been thinking about what wheels to put on. One of the wheels I am considering is the Falken Koblenz in Black with a chrome lip. See the link below. The dealership had a black Roush with these...

    Florida Mustang Owners

    Never had a dash crack I lived in Florida until I was 17. I returned in 1999. I have never used a dash mat or a sunshade and I have never had a dash crack. EXCON, you certainly seem like someone who is fanatical about your vehicle. i am sure you will keep protectant of some sort on the dash...

    Shake, Rattle, and Roll?

    As a former Corvette owner, I am always concerned about a vehicle's propensity to "loosen up" over time causing everything on the inside to rattle, shimmy, squeak etc. I know there are no high milaeage GTs out there yet but has anyone noticed interior squeaks and rattles? Just one of those...

    Question about the fixed antenna

    SO is there an aftermarket window antenna? Does anyone know if we can replace the antenna with some sort of aftermarket window antenna? I'll give the 15 spanish sports and news stations that seem to dominate AM radio in exchange for a cleaner appearance.

    Oops, one more question about stripes...

    What do you guys figure it would cost to have real stripes painted on the car. I am thinking either white with blue stripes like the "boy racer" prototype or performance red with white stripes in the same pattern. I wanted sonic blue with white but I NEED the red interior :D . It is just too...
