    I just got my car back from the dealer because my 5th gear and reverse went out. They fixed my exhaust "leak" by re-bolting my h-pipe back up to my catback and nearly destroyed my cobra R bumper.

    The car does seem slower though since they have re-bolted the h-pipe back up. It could also be that I still have the stock shifter in it and haven't put my tri-ax back in it. I have the same torque but my HP definitely seems to have gone down a little. Today I took off while in 3rd and it seemed to take forever to red line.

    Any ideas?

    unplug the battery for 10 minutes and plug it back in....start up the car and drive around for a little....this might fix it...

    if you tuned the car...might want to return to stock and retune it again (if you used a Handheld tuner like SCT or DiabloSport)...

    I thought about that as well. I noticed they didn't unhook the battery. My trip meter still showed 700 miles on it and radio stations were kept.

    I love this color. Make sure you check out the blue mustang registry: http://registry.03sbgt.com
