    For those that have driven both GT 5spd and auto?

    According to Motor Trend Magazine they basically have the same performance figures. The Mustang automatic was quoted as being as quick as the Mercedes AMG speedshift automatic. 1/4 mile 13.6 @99.9.

    350Z or 05 Mustang GT?

    Well from a street start the Mustang will always win, since the Z needs to rev up before the launch. On the track the Mustang has the advantage of a wider power band. The Z has a small power band which starts around 4800 to 6800 redline (You need to keep the oil to a boil if you want speed from...

    Ford Discounts?

    I would be more concerned if you can find a Mustang GT a a car lot. If you do find one, most are over sticker price without a discount. 99.9% of dealers will not accept any X Plan or any other discounted plans. Ford made a mistake on calculating the demand for the car and will most likely not...

    ok my pride is hurt

    The spout connector is under the air filter box. There will be a wire with the end of it haveing a gray plug on it. If it is missing you wont see a gray plug that connects the 2 terminals. This spout connector is removed when adjusting the timing on these cars. If this is missing the computer...

    5.0L....302 what's the difference

    They are the same when the part store ask you this question. 302 is the cubic inches of the engine and 5.0 (actually 4.9) is the oil capacity. So your engine is a V-8 5.0 liter 302 cubic inches.

    Tach Drops to Zero?

    I had the same exact problem. The cars RPMs would drop to 0 and since it is a stick would start right back up and the RPMs would shoot back up. If I was at a stop, the car would just die and I had to wait a few minutes to start it back up. If this is what is happening then its you stator in your...

    Mustang suspension setup Tokico

    I recently installed adjustable Tokico struts and shocks. It made a night and day difference and my Mustang rides better than when it was new. I have one question. I did not replace the quad shocks, and I know these prevent wheel hop, but will replacing these make a difference? If they do make...

    95 Gt Vs. 89 Gt

    I would say mainly the driver and whoever gets a good launch. I would give the lighter car with a better wheel setup (lighter wheels,better tire compounds) and suspension setup (drag shocks) the advantage.

    Passing emmisions test

    If I can pass with a visual (fake cats). Does high octane burn better? Would a timing retard switch make better emmisions? There must be a way to just barely pass.

    Passing emmisions test

    I have a 1995 Mustang GT with cats. Will a H-pipe without cats pass the emmision test? Are there any tricks to passing with an offroad pipe?

    ok my pride is hurt

    A 1995 Mustang GT should not lose to a 2005 V-6 Mustang. I have a 1995 Mustang GTS. When it was new I'm talking bone stock. With only 500 miles years ago I took it to the track. I did not shift hard, since the car was new and got a 14.8 on my first run. I never went back to the track since...

    cancel or not

    Good for you guys. Most people out there are insane by paying over MSRP. There are other good cars out there with attractive financing options and FORD dealers in the MIDWEST are trying to rip off the consumer with price tags 3000 over MSRP. I also read that FORD got rid of its My color dash due...

    Why is My Car Slow??

    If your mustang seems to be running slower, then try to remember when it started to run slower. What did you do to the car since you noticed it being slower :recent tune up,accident,noise coming from cats, engine mods. If you cant remember, then where in the rpm range is it weak?Sometimes the...
