    '13 Gt Brembo No Pirellis

    My '11 GT w/Brembo's came with Pirrelli P-Zero summer tires. They are great tires for cornering. The soft compound tires don't last very long(18K miles) and I drive my car daily & like a sane person 95% of the time. Since my car is my daily driver, I had to replace them with all-season...

    Engine Light Flashing Question

    Finally got my car back after a week! It took so long because they also had to replace my drivers side seat cover as the leather was starting to tear. They found the #2 coil & spark plug to be at fault. Both were replaced and I'm happy to report that the car feels great again.

    Engine Light Flashing Question

    Thank you guys! I actually just read in the manual that flashing indicates a misfire. The car is stock, so no problems with warranty. I will take it in tomorrow. Hopefully it's nothing big.

    Engine Light Flashing Question

    This does not happen all the time, nor does it occur frequently. When it does happen, I can't help but wonder if there is actually something wrong. Sometimes, under hard acceleration, the egnine light will start flashing. I let up on the throttle and a few seconds later, the flashing engine...

    2013 Performance White or 2012 Kona Blue Boss 302?

    This is why I would get the 2012 Boss over a regular 2013 GT any day, but the choice is yours. It's worth it for the forged pistons and connecting rods alone. Good luck! http://mustangsdaily.com/blog/2010/11/19/2012-mustang-boss-302-sticker-wheel-package/

    Brembo Tire Size

    The 285's look really good! Too bad I just bought tires(Bridgestone Potenza RE970 A/S). They've got 40K mile treadwear warranty, so I guess I'll have to wait awhile. But I may consider going the 285 route when I do, I like the look!

    Exhaust Stock Headers Vs Aftermarkets

    This is just my opinion: the stock tri-y headers are pretty good & I just don't think LT-headers would be worth the money spent unless your are adding alot of power via supercharging or running nitrous. If you're going to stay naturally aspirated, I say save the money and put it towards...

    Digital Tuning Ford Power Pack V K&n Cai

    I always run my car on 93-octane. I figure the reason I bought the car was for the 412hp so I might as well have all of it on tap if and whenever I want it. Also, it's very cost effective at about $3/per tank. I plan on getting a tune as well, but I'm waiting for my warranty to expire...

    I've always used Mobil 1 in my mustangs, but I'm pretty sure than any brand name synthetic oil will work just as well.

    19" Tire reviews - Need some advice!

    Bad Boss 302, If you own a TV or almost any piece of electronics for that matter, according to you, you are also a part of the problem because none of your electronics were made in the USA or those trade balanced countries. They were most likely made in one of those Asian countries. I'm...

    Wow Article On Yahoo Says 2013 Mustang Handles Bad!!????

    I read that article. It may not handle like an M3 or (insert whatever car with an IRS here), but it's more than fine for 95% of the people that will be buying it. It can still hold it's own against it's competitors like the Camaro and Challenger. It may not be the perfect pony car, but IMHO...

    19" Tire reviews - Need some advice!

    The original poster asked for tire suggestions, not a political rant. It's a global economy, even the Mustang isn't 100% American made.

    19" Tire reviews - Need some advice!

    The Pirelli's on my '11 lasted only 18K miles. They may be very good performance tires, but they are very expensive do not last very long. Since my car is my daily driver, I needed something with decent performance but that would last much longer. I looked at the Michelin Sports A/S Plus...

    Fuel Gt 6 Spd Owners. Whats Your Highway Mpg?

    I've got 3.73's and average about 25.7-mpg's on the highway crusing at 70-mph and about 2200-rpm. I live in Houston though and everything is flat. No hills or mountains to contend with.

    Rear tires worn out too early on 2011 GT

    I recently bought these for my car. They come with a 40K mile treadwear warranty. They are the Bridgestone Potenza RE970 AS Pole Position tires. They are worth checking out. Here's a link...

    Rear tires worn out too early on 2011 GT

    I knew I would lose some cornering ability with the Potenzas, but I felt it was a compromise I could live with. I moslty only go to my local 1/4-mile strip once or twice a year as my family duties(3-kids) & work keep me extremely busy. The Pirellis are great tires, but considering that I drive...

    Just picked up my 2012 Mustang GT tonight

    Nice pics! Congrat's on getting your dream car! My 2011 is my dream car and I love it. Nothing wrong with a base GT. I mean it's a GT, enough said. I would've ordered mine in base trim, but after having SYNC in my 2010 GT, I had to have it again and the only way to get SYNC was to order a...

    Rear tires worn out too early on 2011 GT

    Sounds about right. My all-season pirellis on my 2010 lasted about 20K miles. The summer only Pirellis on my 2011 only lasted 17K miles. I replaced them with the new Bridgestone Potenzas that come with a 40K mile treadwear warranty. They'd better last longer & I'm not even hard on my tires.
