    COP-Watch

    D.P.S Texas State Trooper! I pulled into Starbucks one day and a Trooper pulles in right next to me. I let him and his partner get out first. I notice them looking at my car. One of the Troopers askes me how much my car cost me. I told him and then his partner askes me what the fastest I have...

    I just test drove a 06 GT today!

    I feel that my 06 GT would take a Cobra or keep up with all the ones except maybe the supercharged late models. Not a knock on any Cobra models at all. My white 2000 GT beat a Cobra once. To answer the answer about the shaker. I believe the 500 is enough unless you are into alot of base. The...

    I just test drove a 06 GT today!

    First, interest rate depends on your credit and how long you want to finance. Try a range of 6 to 18 percent. I bought my 05 GT for 24K and some change, and traded it 10 months later for 24k. The 05+ have been hot cars, so I do not agree with your statement about GTs not holding their value...

    Help! Ordering 06 Stang tomorrow, Which Wheels?

    Factory wheels.. I just bought my 06 30 days ago. It has the 18" polished bullitt style wheels. They are way better than last years wheel. I get alot more looks now with this wheel pkg than I ever did with the old bullitts. The fan blades look cool, just not my taste. This by far as cost goes...

    Keep the 03 or get an 06?

    Hard choice.... I have to tell you that sometimes I miss my 03 GT. It was easier to modify and cheaper. I liked the looks alot. However I have loved both of my new GT's. If you can wait, pay off the 03. Keep it for your daily driver and make the new GT your garage kept beauty. That way you can...

    Installed Ford Racing axleback

    Well, I had the same thing with my 2000 model with the off road x-pipe. The problem with mine was the mufflers. I got used to it. I had spent to much already on mufflers. My 2003 with the same set up had stock mufflers and had no raspy or air type sound. I agree that the more chambered the...

    Black Paint

    I bought a black 05 GT and loved it for the first 8 months. It was the only color available at the time. Soon it began to show scratches and swirl marks. I am pretty anal when it comes to my Stangs. I thought about how it was going to look in three to four years and decided to trade. There were...

    Ok, Whats the difference ??????

    I know that a couple of colors were added. Tungsten gray and some new blue color. New 18's were also added. One set is a fan type look. The other is the bullet style. Both wheels are polished. As far as a computer change, I have not heard this. Polished exhaust tips were on my 05 as well as my...

    Do Underdrive pullies hurt...

    It seems like this is a question that is asked alot. I myself have not yet done this to my 06 GT. I have read that the gains on the 05 + are not that significant. I also am concerned about an all alloy engine block. My 2000 and 2003 GT's had good gains with out any notice in temperature rise or...

    Credit Rating ?

    Credit advice from a finance director... I am a finance director for an automobile dealership and I believe that there is some good advice here. That being said, there are multiple factors involved in a loan. Lenth of residence, time on job, p.t.i.( payment to income), d.t.i. ( debt to income)...

    18" wheels and suspension upgrade?

    I have just purchased a beautiful 2006 tungsten gray GT. It has the polished 18" wheels. I read on this site, when the Mustang is equipped with this wheel pkg, it has an upgraded suspension. I can not find this information on my window sticker or on the invoice. My only idea is that the article...

    Test drove an 06 Today

    I had a 2005 GT and just traded it in for a 2006 GT. I liked the new gray and 18" polished wheels. My 2005 seemed faster but it had almost 9,600 on it when I traded. I am hoping the new car breaks in like my 2005. I think it can also be the way they are built. I have seen stock Mustangs out run...

    MUSTANG GT takes on a CORVETTE!

    You know everyone can have their opinion. I know what happened. He could have been playing with me but, 350 horsepower and a little lighter vehicle is not going to just blow your doors off. It was just a nice story of what I experienced on my way home. If you do not believe it or think I am...

    MUSTANG GT takes on a CORVETTE!

    No, I could not beat a Vette. I know this. It was just to see what would happen. When I had my 2000 GT I pulled next to a Viper on the highway. I reved my engine at him and tried to take off from him. He left me behind like I was driving a Pinto. I enjoyed watching how fast he left me behind...

    MUSTANG GT takes on a CORVETTE!

    You know you would be right if I had started in fourth at 70-75. Yesterday I thought about it and when I drove home I realized I must have been in fourth gear at about 80-90. I did state that I was not looking to close at the speedometer. Trust when I say I was in the right gear for the speed I...

    MUSTANG GT takes on a CORVETTE!

    In New Braunfels. :D OK, but the vette is made partially of fiber glass and that is actually pretty heavy. They only still use it because of the heritage.
