  1. Silver Bullet GT

    Picked up a 99 GT 5spd. Have few questions.

    Yes, all 99 mustangs did come with just the 35th anny badges. Did the salesman tell you it was a 35th anny car or were you just thinking that from the badges?
  2. Silver Bullet GT

    Picked up a 99 GT 5spd. Have few questions.

    Just cosmetic additions. Added hood scoop, different rear spoiler and side scoops, black hood stripe, black rear panel, machine polished wheels and some interior touches. Welcome btw! :cheers:

    Best RPM to shift at?

    It says right in the owners manual to shift at 2250rpm for best gas milage. But I rarely shift that low. More like in the 3500 range for "spirated driving". :D

    Suspension

    If your doing just 80 and your cars all over the road something is wrong somewhere. Ive run quite a bit faster than that on the freeway a few times and my car felt very solid. :shrug: But to answer your question… A good cheap suspension upgrade is the Bullitt suspension. Includes better...

    0 to 60 time

    0-60 isnt really the best way to judge a cars performance anyway. One car may beat another 0-60 but may lose to that same car in the 1/4 mile. The real test is 1/4 times not 0-60.

    WINGS vs. WINGLESS

    I like wingless too. Gives it a cleaner body line overall and a nice wedge shape. :nice:

    How do you fix this "ticking" sound??

    My car has done that from very early. Will it still be covered if the warranty has expired?

    muffler suggestions

    Thanks guys. From what you all had to say and doing a little more research I think Im going to go with either the Mac Flowpaths SS or the Magnaflows or Mangapacks. How loud would Magnapack mufflers be with the stock exhaust system?

    muffler suggestions

    Im going to FINALLY get some mufflers for my car to get it to sound better. Just the mufflers, not a whole catback system. I dont want it too awfully loud attracting unwanted attention but enough to appreciate the difference. A more aggresive note. What type do you guys suggest? Flowmasers, Mac...

    Why do people delete their spoilers? Aren't they functional?

    If I could afford to have the holes filled and painted properly I would take my spoiler off in a heartbeat. I think GT's look sweet without them. Gives them a real wedge shape. I guess it depend on what look your going for though. I prefer the clean and simple look myself.

    Hot Rod /Motor Trend Threads In here

    Well its definitly looking really good now. I really like the styling of the exterior and the interior. Ford came through in the end after all. BUT what about the performance. I seriously hope that MT's "estamted" claims of 0-60 in 5.2 sec and the 1/4 in 13.9 @ 104 is a low expectation. New...

    original battery life

    Well I got the old battery out and replaced it with a new one I bought from Sears. Got he best one they sold that would fit. One of the technicians there said 3 years is typical for a battery in Central Florida due to the weather and high humidity. He also said when the weather suddenly changes...

    original battery life

    How long do Motorcraft batteries generally last? My car still has the oiginal one that come in it from the factory. When I went to start my car this morning it was deader than a doornail. Wouldnt even attempt to crank. Its just a little strange the batteriy would go out all the sudden like that...
