    what is this noise?

    I have this same EXACT sound on my car. I tried the piece of foam between the plate and transmission but it didn't seem to work. Perhaps I need to use more of it. I am 100% positive it's the same thing you guys are hearing, so it should have fixed it.

    How many miles did fellow GT owners get from their stock Pirelli 18" tires?

    I got 85,000 on my 17" Pirellis that came with the 2007 GT. They still had meat on them... Still going on my factory brakes at 89,000...

    How many miles on your S197, total and yearly

    Another long commute DD here: 2007 GT 86,000 miles (original brakes, changed the tires at 83k) I do 23k/year or so... 24mpg. It's an awesome daily driver!! Dunno how I managed to stretch my wear parts for so long, but this car has had the lowest cost of ownership EVAR. /that...

    Buzz / Rattle at ~2,000rpm...

    It's a very thin plate on the end of the bellhouse (where it meets the engine). There are two bolts that will let you pry it open a bit. I might try again with thicker tape... and the exhaust hanger TSB is a totally separate buzz that comes up through the center stack. I have more...

    Failed emissions... + bad day seeking input + Warning to JLTII owners.

    I had the same exact issue with my brenspeed tune... he had shut off the cats. I called them up and he emailed me an emissions friendly tune to replace one of the 3 he had previously loaded up on my SCT (87, 89, 91 octane). He had it to me in a day or two, and was very helpful, even though...

    Buzz / Rattle at ~2,000rpm...

    I did the foam tape thing and it didn't fix it. This **** drives me nuts! I also have the really loud low rattle of the entire dash/console when the car is cold. Apparently that's the exhaust hanger directly below there is a TSB for. Ford really letting me down here... my car is a ****in...

    Buzz / Rattle at ~2,000rpm...

    So my 2007 GT (only modifications are a Brenspeed Tune and FRPP GTAs) buzzes everytime I cross 2,000rpm in gear... it happens in every gear and is more pronounced when there is more load on the car. It does not happen when revving in neutral. I searched and found a couple of threads with...

    short vs. stock antennae

    I had a 14" shorty on my car and it was easily as good as the stock unit. Zero loss in quality/range. Then when the 88 year old ****er hit my car, the body shop was careless and stuck a 4" dealy (looks like something off an audi, VERY nice looking...) not so hot on the reception though...

    Interested in buying a Mustang

    I drive my lightly modded 5-speed '07 GT to work 45 miles each way. Most of it is on the highway. I average ~24-25mpg over the entire tank (which does include some inner-city driving). The ride is great, it's comfortable, and fun as hell. I've driven an Auto V6 and it just did not feel...

    Finally got the windows tinted.

    Looking VERY nice. I've got 20% on mine as well. Btw does your '08 have the soft felt door trim? Or did the tinter need to add it? My '07 GT just had the hard strips and needed felt. My gf's '08 V6 had the felt from the factory.

    Brenspeed Tune, Failed PA Emissions Testing... help!

    Sorry for the delay, my car passed when I took it back in: no issues. Testing through the OBD port is BS though... just sniff my freakin exhaust and if it's within the legal range on all the chemicals/gases/etc.. then let me be on my way. Sheesh.

    Brenspeed Tune, Failed PA Emissions Testing... help!

    My issue with this is the fact that I have zero modifications to my exhaust beyond a pair of mufflers... and I have no plans for a cat-less anything, so why would they shut off my rear O2 sensors? All it's done is created a headache for me passing this emissions test. If I wanted headaches...

    Brenspeed Tune, Failed PA Emissions Testing... help!

    Just an update: I emailed Brenspeed the information (on sunday) they needed to write an emissions-friendly tune. They replied monday saying I would have it by this friday at the latest... I mentioned I was in a bit of a rush to get it inspected (in order to avoid any tickets) and Brent...

    Any regrets about buying a V6 instead of a V8?

    90 miles/day round-trip. ~ 24-25mpg Having driven an Auto V6 and my 5-speed GT, I really can't say enough good things about the V8 over the V6. The V6 has some power but sounds terrible and overall the GT feels like you're getting more car for the money. Both run on 87 octane and...

    Brenspeed Tune, Failed PA Emissions Testing... help!

    Brenspeed contacted me, apparently they shut off my rear O2 sensors with the tune. This doesn't affect driving in any way, and I'm not really sure why they felt the need to do this. Apparently it's for people who have off-road H-pipes etc... except that I explicitly told them my mods; and...

    Brenspeed Tune, Failed PA Emissions Testing... help!

    I drove the car approximately 360 miles between the Tune and Emissions test. Still no response from Brenspeed. If I have to reinstall the airbox and retune the car yearly from here out, that's somewhat of a PITA considering my current living situation. Hopefully they can email me an...

    Brenspeed Tune, Failed PA Emissions Testing... help!

    So I installed a C&L Street kit with a Brenspeed Tune (XCal). Performance-wise, it's great... no complaints. 5 days later though I realized my PA Emissions/Inspection testing was due by the end of July 08. I took it to my dealer and the car failed emissions. The tech asked if the battery...

    Custom Tune in PA/NJ

    Hey guys I'm planning to grab a Cold Air kit and was wondering if there are any places in the Philly (PA/NJ/DE) area that will do custom tuning on late model Mustangs? My other option is a canned tune, but I'd like to have it on a dyno at a custom tune shop. Let me know if you guys know of...
