Power in the 05 Mustant GT is AWESOME !!!

Power in the 05 Mustang GT is AWESOME !!!

As I was leaving work the other day I turned off the TC casue I wanted to smoke the tires for the first time. I brought the car up to bout 5k rpm then droped it in first -- omg the tires started spinning and it took off like a rocket almost to the point where I lost control. The ass of the car started to powerslide being that I was making a left turn as I did this.

I was scared and very impressed with the power both at the same time. The ass swinging out like that humbled me real quick and I turned on the TC for the rest of the ride home.


ps did I mention I love my car

I believe Ford made the Traction Control a little smarter then the last generation. I believe you can light the tires up even with TC on.

I got an auto 05 GT.

Power is not bad it does need about 50 more HP.

lol you dropped the clutch at 5k rpm on a left turn?



don't wreck already guy!!

Mine lights them up if I dump it at 5k too I think anything does

hehe ... next time I think I'll go with 3500 or 4000 rpms. 5k was a **** to handle

5000 rpm dump....that'll send her ass around real quick! Must have been hilarious to have been a spectator. BTW: How do you like the Shaker500? Does it rock, or does it need a little!

Congrats, glad you love your new Stang so much, they're really sweet cars.

Not a flame or anything, but is this your first powerful RWD car? Dump the clutch at 5k on just about any RWD machine & you will boil the tires.

The Shaker 500 is sweeet. 500 watts is more power than in my home system so I am very impressed

Yes sir it is. Ive had a 86 and 89 mustang. both were 4 bangers 2.3L engines. Not much power at all. I learned total respect for that v8 after that - im just glad I didnt smack her up

Thanks, man. I really needed to hear that! I've been losing sleep thinking I made a mistake not going with the 1000, but like you, 500 watts is more than I have in my house! Alot of people compare the shaker500 to the mach460 and go on to say that "it blows". It's hard to gauge the maturity of a poster-I am 33 w/ a wife and 3 kids....I don't think my Country Club neighbors are going to be too kind if I THUMP-THUMP-THUMP-MY WAY HOME( if you get my drift!) That said, I do listen to music very loud occasionally and I hope the Shaker500 can do the job.

there is a whole sport dedicated to doing just that. drifting is fun, especially after you get good at it. a LSD is absolutely mandatory to do it safely and consistantly tho

let's not touch this subjet


and btw, he was on a public street. i hardly think that's a good place to drift.

but like i said, let's not get on the subject of drifting.

Cool. I am 35 with 3 kids also and one on the way. Maybe if I was in my twenties and tryin to pick up babes id go with the 1000 but im not and the 500 sounds pretty dam good to these old ears

Also, This should make you feel better about your selection. My teenage daughter tells me to turn it down when coming up our street cause the neighbors will get mad

My 1980 Corolla could do that.

my lil 4 banger can light the tires up at a 5k drop ?
