    Launch advice needed

    First time I went to the track it wasn't that busy so I got to run about eight times and finally squeaked out a 13.8 that night in stock form. Last night I only got three runs and not once did I have a decent launch. Now I have a JLT II intake and should be running better than 13.8 but never saw...

    My conclusion on mods, please review

    I have done endless hours of research on different mods and have come up with this upgrade path. These are listed in the order I will probably do them in with a quitting point somewhere along the line. JLT II CAI and Tune ($550) - The C&L CAI is also popular, but the JLT got 2nd place in a...

    Anyone have the Shaker 1000 in their GT??

    The complaints are related to the early 05 versions of the Shaker. There is some buttons you can hold and see the version. Version A had problems. Version B which I have has never caused me any problems.

    Anyone have the Shaker 1000 in their GT??

    Aftermarket I wanted the Shaker 1000 but didn't get that option because I had to take a black Mustang that was everything I wanted but the 1000. My Mustang is an 05 when they were hard as hell to get. I have the Shaker 500 and have installed an aftermarket subwoofer. I don't remember the...

    Overheating problem

    You have to purge/pressurize the system or something like that. I put a new radiator on my car and had the same problem. When you do the job air pockets form that will cause the coolant not to cycle. I took it to a shop and they did it for me. Also a thermostat when not in water for a bit...

    How fast are you???

    The f-bods had the same horsepower as a Corvette? I guess this explains explains why when I raced a Corvette in my Z28 he pulled me hard. It never appeared the cars were equal for a second. I don't think they are that much lighter.

    Security for our stangs.

    I have the anti-theft package myself. I am not as much worried about someone stealing it as I am kids keying it or trying the door handles, etc. The kids in the neighborhood have blown fireworks up by our house twice. And my wife came home one day to two kids standing behind the Stang took...

    SRT-4 can wax a '05 Mustang GT?

    How fast are you???

    I have beat two Trans AMs. The magazines put them at about equal and I say it is a drivers race. Most fbods who are serious enough to go to the track have most likely installed mods. They are at least 3 year old cars. Stock for Stock I put them very even. I owned an LT1, no way it was as...

    What is wrong with my shifting?

    I took it easy on my car for the first 1000 miles at least. And I am not power-shifting. The thread never said power-shifting. Power-shifting is not even something you can really try in an '05 Mustang cause of the cable linkage. One magazine that tried it said they spinned the syncros so bad...

    Paint Blemishes

    Yeah why aren't those mirrors painted. They are poured out of a mold, look at the underneath of em. Big hole under there. The plastic on my keys is flaking off. Its very cheap plastic. I noticed the console is the same stuff. I am very unimpressed with the quality of the plastic.

    What is wrong with my shifting?

    That could be it. So you think that sound is syncros spinning? Is that really bad?

    Thinking of ordering an '06

    That customer expansion plan is not applicable to Mustangs.

    What is wrong with my shifting?

    When I get on it and try to do a quick shift from 1-2 sometimes I hear something grinding like I am spinning a gear. I am trying to do quick shifts. When the car was brand new (1400 miles now) it would grab 2nd and lurch forward. But I am assuming the clutch is a little worn in now. What am...

    Thinking of ordering an '06

    For friends and family of Ford employee's. If you have already commited yourself to sticker, stick with it. First you will have to find someone who will give you X-Plan and then you will have to wait more for the car since most dealers are unwilling and put it behind other orders (even when...

    How fast are you???

    I think the term "magazine racers" is a misnomer. Magazine specifications are done in tested conditions with factory cars, good drivers and adjusted for conditions. It is an attempt to put a number that can be used to compare the car to other stock vehicles. Granted if you were to claim the...
