    Installed GT sway bars today

    Thats a FACT jack. By removing the front sway bar the front end lifts more and transfers the weight to the back tires for better hook up. The only downside is on the street it makes the car a little squirly especially when you have a hopped up motor and keep the rear bar on. Very conduceive...

    As in driveway jumping or speed bump hopping ??? Maybe you are just an abusive driver. I have driven my car hard through cresting apex's and drainage divets and have yet to scrape the underside of my bumper....

    Something Broke, Lets Play Name That Part!

    The Eibach's caused the failure. The higher spring rate of the Eibach's springs, in conjunction to bottoming out the suspension resulted in the bottom spring perch lifting higher up toward the top perch, causing the front sway bar to twist at an angle. Over so many miles this flexing back and...

    05 GT, what a POS !!!!!!

    I bought a 6 and took her home in March, have over 6k on her already. My only problem the tank fill, where you have to sometimes turn the nossel upside down. And an odd rattle from the gearbox, and the stupid electronic throttle causing the car to buck at start up in first gear if I dont give...

    K&N Aircharger Kit

    I don't understand why you don't think it makes sense, when the fuel level is low, the engine management leans out the fuel pressure to conserve fuel, limiting WOT fuel delivery, so that the fuel pump does not scavange empty air, resulting in bubbles in the fuel line. My honda V-tec would do...

    Why I'm going with a V-6

    Man, I swear I am going to make my V6 as riced out as possible just so I can spank a few of these wise guy "GT"rs. :lol: On that note though, yes I am buying a V6 Manual, when ever it gets here. And yes I am going to hop it up to the extent that I (may) eventually have more money into it...

    Magnaflow needs YOUR input- V6 exhaust system pictures- single or dual?

    I am with Mach428 on this one, a 3" dump tip where the exhaust is not really that noticeable from the rear of the car is what it needs. It will not look like an import and it will add to the muscle car sound

    Anyone catch this?

    isnt the Grand Prix a front drive platform ??? then it is possible that the front rims are an extra 1/2 inch in width I suppose. Mean there would be no rotational pattern to reduce wear. BUYER BEWARE I mean hell I had wider tires on the front of my civic then the rears. Because those are the...

    Anyone catch this?

    HUH? I think you might have a screw loose they are both 18" dia. Front is 255/45 = 99.9 aspect ratio Back is 255/50 = 127.5 aspect ratio the rear tires will have a larger sidewall. We do not know the width of the rims front to back so we do not know the tread foot print...

    My Engine is Out of My Car...All of the threads

    I think everyone should post a comment for Ford, then "ticket" can take all the comments and copy them to the district manager. I am sure with a group effort and responses that Ford will understand the frustration and loss of trust that the general public may have of Ford's operation

    Electronic Throttle--No smoky Burnouts??????

    I have the 5.0 Mustang Issue and you will see that they had to reflash the ECU with the SCT tune to make up for the bottom end "bog" that is built into the management software on the 05 GT. They compared the 04 GT to the 05 GT and there is a big power hole up till 4,000rpm or so. Easily...

    This is what you really want them to do, you want them to go over your car with a fine tooth comb to make sure their hypothosies of what went wrong and the possible solution is the correct fix for not only you but other GT owners as well. I know it sucks not having your car but you REALLY...
