    Whine in 5th gear...

    Just go have it checked out, but I don't think you have anything to worry about. My '95 cobra whined like a stuck pig in 3rd gear, and I never had anything break.

    My paint is starting to look/feel very strange... PLEASE Read/Respond!!

    Sounds like oxidation to me. Somebody painted your car wrong. Take it to the dealer and demand that they re-paint it in their bodyshop under warranty.

    Manual or Automatic?

    I can't believe somebody suggested that an automatic transmission is better in the winter. That's the most ridiculous completely false statement I have ever heard on these boards. A manual transmission is easier to get started without spinning the tires in the snow, because you can use as...

    Excursion goes to that happy car lot in the sky

    I think we're going to see sport utility vehicles die off in much the way sport coupes did in the mid 90s, as much nicer, roomier pick-ups like the Ram and new F-150, along with the rising-in-popularity-sport-wagon, take their place. The small sport-utes will continue to thrive im...

    13.20 @ 104 stock!!

    I believe it. With the jack and spair gone from the back of the car, I'd imagine the 60ft times might go up a tenth of a second or two. And mags aren't saying this is a mid/high 14 second car. They're saying mid/high 13 second.

    Diablo uses my 05 for a test car for the PREDATOR

    The warranty on his engine (and most likely transmission from the added power) won't be honored unless he fights the dealership. They can always claim that the mods are what broke a component. Other than that, he's pretty much home free. A good tuning program will have all sorts of built...

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    This is a stupid debate. Totally STUPID. The GTO and the GT are both good cars. Good performers, nice interiors, nice looks (i like understated things dammit) I much prefer the mustang, because the GTO is hugely overweight and that's the hardest thing to overcome in a car. That's...

    2005 Ford Mustang GT is the "Best Muslce Car"

    Quit hating on the GTO. It's a great car, and I love the understated looks. I prefer the mustang (which also has understated looks....but also tons of heritage), but both are great cars and very close in total performance. The GTO is too heavy and too costly for me to give it my approval...

    Weight of Mustang GTR Concept?

    Does anybody know the curb weight of the Mustang GT-R concept?

    DAMN!!

    Save speeding for cars you own in places where there arent cops. Plenty of little backroads and freeway on-ramps for shenanigans like that.

    Best Looking Rims on '05 to Date!!!

    I think the rims on that black mustang look excellent. They're still slightly retro...the shiny outer rim with the darker inside....I think it looks classy and functional at the same time...and they're a good light brand as well. Great looking rims.

    The official "How fast is it?" thread...

    OUCH. The GT gained that much weight? That's gotta be 100 pounds more than the last GT. Our poor mustangs are getting bigger and bigger, just like us. No wonder the cars are getting lower ET's than we expected. It's just like Nissan's 350Z. It's getting low 14's, instead of the high 13's...

    Mustang GTR RIMS

    Wait a while. I distinctly remember ford saying they had plans to make every part of the GTR available through Ford Racing. Give it a little while and I'm sure you'll be able to do the switch. But it's going to be more than just rims. It'll be a brake/axle/rim/fender-flare kit. Those...

    Wife's jealous...what should I do now?

    Reducing weight.

    Heh, yeah I'm not really interested in making any changes that I can't put back if I DO decide to get rid of the car. I already test drove one, and I can honestly say I've never gotten to drive a car that I enjoyed more. I want one, and I won't be getting rid of it for a long long time...

    Reducing weight.

    I want to keep AC because of where I live. Obviously I'll have it turned off during a time trial....but the car still needs to be semi-useful. Basically, I'm looking to shed ~150 pounds of stuff I'll never use. I'll never use the backseat, spare tire (hopefully), and stuff like that....but...

    Reducing weight.

    How much weight do you think I would lose by removing the trunk lining, spare tire, and rear seats? The car is going to be regularly autoX'd I already know to order no options, and the spoiler delete. If it turns out that I have to resort to lighter body parts, how much do carbon fiber...

    Reducing weight.

    I'm looking at getting a GT and want to reduce weight as much as possible after I buy it. I don't want to buy expensive carbon fiber parts or anything....so what can I do short of stripping the entire interior. I don't need rear seats, and I can build something to cover up the hole...
