    Strut Bushing Replacement Realignment Necessary?

    I had mine done about 4 wks ago. They did not re-align the front and and it all seems fine. The popping is gone!

    2005 Mustang Mods that DON'T void Warranty

    This has been covered before but... Higher octane gas requires more pressure (or hotter temperatures) to ignite. It does NOT make your car run hotter and it will not change the A/F ratio significantly on a stock tune. It allows you to run hotter (or more compression) without pre-detonation...

    Why 4.6?

    05 Mustangs have a lot of frontal area to push through the air. Kills mileage. It is very sad that most of the American manufacturers have such outdated V6 and 4 cylinder motors. How old is the V6 in the stang?

    Throttle Body on a V6?

    I wonder if CAI/Flash, sitcky tires and a set of 4.10s would give a V6 enough to beat a stock GT 0-60 and/or 1/4 mile. It would be really cool to see a NA V6 at the track giving some stock GT owners a wake-up call.

    My car got violated today...by a semi.

    If he has had enough accidents to lose his job over one small mishap then you are being irresponsible to everyone else on the road NOT to report it properly. I had a drunk hit my Acura while it was parked one time. He tried to give me a sob story about how he was gonna lose his license for...

    For those who drove the GT and v6...

    They are no longer made because their quality was so bad that no one would buy them.... I do agree with your statement about the V6. The V6 stang did keep the Mustang around for a long time. The 05 V6 is a really nice car. More powerful and faster than most (if not all, I am not sure)...

    No Functional Air Extractors On The '07 Shelby? Then No Shelby For Me!

    The hood shake appears to be an issue with how the hood is aligned. Many of us have had not problems with it. Also, any "Shelby" you see out right now is almost certainly a mule car used for testing the assembly process or actual road testing. It is not surprising that they use 'standard'...

    When do you think the hype will die down...

    I paid MSRP for my 05. The dealer I bought mine from has 2 GTs in stock now that are not committed to anyone. Probably won't last the weekend though. By Christmas, most of us nuts who wanted one all that bad will probably have gotten ours. However, do not expect this car to sell for a lot...

    Why 4.6?

    I don't know why people don't understand this simple point. Besides, the GT has never been the ultimate V8 muscle car in terms of speed. It's heritage is all about affordable performance in a relatively small package. (relative to other American makes) The new Mustang GT with a 4.6...

    Burnouts and Tune

    I tried it out last weekend. The only problem that I had was the surprisingly good grip from the stock tires. I was able to keep the wheels spinning until the forward momentum and tire grip caught up with me. All the while I could modulate the throttle right at redline. I felt no...

    Handles like a crippled elephant

    It IS the transitions that will get you in the stang. However, it is not all due to weight. The rear suspension DOES bounce, it DOES come unglued on rough pavement. I also love my car and completely enjoy driving it but the under/over steer transition is very much exagerated by the fact...

    "Blown" An Epic Campaign to V6 Mustang Superiority!

    Millions sounds like a little bit of an overstatement.... How many 05 V6 stangs have been sold???

    Ram Air - Myth or Truth?

    300... I understand what you are trying to say but air pressure and air temperature are DIRECTLY PHYSICALLY related. You absolutely cannot talk about one without specifying the other or you have no information. Intake temperature affects air density, pressurization devices (possibly even...

    05 M3 vs 05 GT

    Amen brother... if folks would just have a little patience they could pay off their cars and then mod em as much as they like. Also, the "my car cost less and is as fast" line is as juvenile as the "my car cost more so it is better" line.

    AWD vs RWD easyness to drive question

    The Subaru will have more traction and positive control in almost any condition. If you are worried about traction the AWD car is the better choice. I am NOT saying that the stang and RWD in general are bad or dangerous. As far as safety goes, either car has enough power to get you into...

    Diablosport Predator

    You also gotta love JLTs up-front post about the mods for their intake on the forum as well. They seem to want to stand behing their product. Once boating season is over I'm probably going with the JLT primarily because of their candor regarding the issue they are having.
