    2000 Spring Feature GT Heads

    I owned one of the 3,901 Spring Feature GT's built in 2000 brand new. I work for a Ford dealer and we sold eight of them. It was a purely cosmetic package - no changes to the powertrain, so the heads were regular 260hp 2V heads. The Spring Feature package consisted of the flat black hood...

    Can daughter fit in back seat? ('11/'12)

    My '11 GT is our "family" vehicle now as my wife drives a Miata. My 19 & 17 daughters both fit in the back seat of the GT just fine. I'm only 5'7", my wife and daughters are all roughly 5'3" or so. Taller families might not find much room in a Mustang, but it works for us. My girls tell me...

    2010 V6 Wheels?

    +1. Damn, Astro, not every Mustang enthusiast needs to have a V8 model to feel the need to modify and customize their pony. Lighten up on the guy and welcome him into our community instead of calling him a troll.

    How much did you pay for your 2011 GT?

    Just bought a new 2011 GT Coupe. 300A, Brembo Brake Pkg, 3.73's. MSRP was just over $32K. Paid $29.5K, less $1500 rebate, for a net price of $28K before adding in tax & license. So it was about $4K off MSRP...

    Will a GT front bumper fit on a V6 Mustang?

    V6 grille is a little smaller than the GT grille, but fits. The GT & V6 bumper covers swap easily. I have an 06 V6 Pony Package grille that I installed in my 07 GT bumper....

    I have 18" bullet..style" rims factory..are they chrome or Aluminum?

    Ford offered them initially as chromed aluminum. Then they later offered them as polished aluminum, too, so both exist in the 18x8.5" size from the factory.

    spark plug change

    I posted in this thread a couple years ago, and have changed my plugs several times since (colder copper plugs are only good for about 6 months with a supercharger). Getting ready to pull them out tomorrow to regap them. As long as you follow the TSB and apply the anti-seize correctly (on the...

    07 GT tire size question

    They'll fit perfect. I have the same size wheels (18 x 8.5 factory Fanblades) and have 255/45/18's all the way around with zero issues, but much improved handling (Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires)...

    2011 Mustang 5.0 Launches On The Bumper!

    I'd venture to guess that hitting the brakes worsened the damage. Easing off the throttle may have minimized damage. Nearly 30 years ago I had a Mach 1 that would pull the front end up and the landings were gentle as I stayed in the throttle enough to keep it from slamming down. However, I...

    Anyone confirm GT can run on regular gas without problems?

    2011 5.0L's can run any octane 87 and higher. Same strategy as Ford introduced with the 08 Bullitts.

    Base '11 Mustang V6 Coupe with automatic transmission pricing.... $23,990 = MSRP per Ford. $23,327 = Factory Invoice Total per Ford. You should be able to find a dealer willing to order one for close to the invoice total. For example, the dealership I work at is special ordering 2011...

    horsepower in my 06 mustang GT

    Supercharger, if your budget allows. 4.10 (or steeper) gears are a good choice. If you have an automatic, I recommend a big stall converter.

    05-10 are interchangable, from what I've gathered. I just installed Pype Bombs from Pypes. 4" 304 stainless steel tips and zero drone, but damn they're loud!

    Dead Battery - Stock Radio to Blame?

    My battery kept going dead 2 years ago. Radio would be weird with car off, so the shop replaced my radio. Didn't fix it. They dug deeper and found a short in the SJB (smart junction box) which is where a lot of different electrical circuits cross paths and intersect. Replaced the SJB and...
