Hi all! Just checking in to get the approximate cost of a new 2006 GT Rousch Stage 1 vert. I was at the dealership picking up a part for my 06 GT vert and a salesman approached me. I told him I already had a GT and he said he had a black Rousch on the showroom and he would make me a good deal...

Hey all. No technical concern here, but I have to vent my frustrations! See, I was meeting a realtor in a parking lot that I have never visited. I pulled into the space and thought I had better back up just a tad. So, upon backing up, I heard a very loud scrape. A lady in the lot looked at...

Hey all. Just checking in to see if anyone has ever compared the "canned" tune sold with the SCT XCAL II tuner and JLT II CAI system. I have been reading that the canned tune is ok but that a tuner like Fred at Evolution can get much better performance from a custom tune with this combination...

Hi all. As you can see by my name, I am more of a modern Mustang fan. However, I work with a guy who is looking to sell his Classic 1967 Mustang coupe. It is a 200 6 cylinder automatic with 184K original miles, candy apple red with no rust, power steering and 1,000 miles on the tires. He has...

Hey all. Just wondering if manually turning on and off the overdrive in an automatic can in any way damage the transmission. Due to droning mufflers, I would rather turn off the overdrive to change the rpms if necessary. Any thoughts?

Hey all! Just thought I would share my experience with my new Borla Stingers. It took a while to get everything bolted up and straight, but all is well on that end. However, after taking a trip last week, I found the drone to be way more than I expected. I have an automatic and around 60 mph...

OK. So, I couldn't wait to install my new Borla Stingers since they arrived today and it was decent weather. So, although I didn't have another pair of hands to help, I was told I could do it myself in 20 minutes. I called an installer and he said it was easy and that he would charge $80 for...

I just installed my Borla stingers and I can't get the seals to stop leaking. Am I missing something? I put it over the pipe and torqued it down. No good. I even placed the seal over the joint and torqued it down. I can't get it to stop leaking. HELP PLEASE!

When I had my 1998 GT convertible (5-speed), one of the most noticeable things I did to "wake it up" was to have 3.73's installed. I also had CAI, FM exhaust and a SCT programmer. It was quite different at that point than stock. I now have an automatic in my 06 GT vert and I am wondering if...

Hey all! Just installed my JLT CAI and reflashed. I have a question or two though. The combination is running awesome and the difference is very noticeable! My question is this. When I reflashed the computer, I selected the 93 octane program. Did this automatically change the shift points...

Hey all. Just checking in to see if there is a time that is too soon to install the above mods. My 2006 GT vert only has 700 miles on it, so I am wondering if I need to wait until a certain mileage before reflashing the computer and installing the CAI. Any thoughts here? Unfortunately, my...

Hey all! Just looking for info regarding a "complete" mod package for my new 2006 GT convertible. I am looking for a new throttle body, CAI, tuner (most likely SCT) and axle-back exhaust system. Where can I find such a system for a good rate? Also, I would appreciate suggestions for specific...

Let me start off by saying I love Ford and my new '06 Vert. That said, I ran into a situation that leaves me scratching my head. I noticed on my new baby that the "trim piece" (for lack of a better word) betweeen the vertical upper windshield frame member and the horizontal frame member was...

OK. I do not dispute the measurable gains in using a CAI system and had one on my 1998 GT convertible. However, a recent visit with a buddy has me thinking on the whole theory of the system. He has a VW R32 (sweet ride) and has a CAI system installed in it. To install it, he had to remove...

Just checking to see whether or not Ford has made any changes (costmetic, mechanical) to the 2006 GT vert since 2005. Thanks!

Hi all! Just checking to see what you think of this deal. My wife and I bought a Screaming Yellow 2006 GT Convertible (Premium) the day after Christmas. I specifically waited until after Christmas so the dealerships would be dealing! The sticker on the car was just under $35K. I actually...

Hey all! Just wanted to say I am back to the Mustang world after a not-so-great experience with BMW. I purchased a 2004 330 Ci last Summer after selling my 1998 Mustang GT convertible. I know, what a stupid move! I got worn down by all of my friends telling me the BMW was a more refined, fun...
