    Buying a Mustang - Coming From Volkswagens

    I've owned both and there are a lot of factors you need to keep in mind. Insurance is the primary factor as the GT will cost nearly double what the V6 will. Fuel economy is very similar on the Highway but in the City the V6 does better. What are the winters like where you are ? The V8 is not as...

    Need Help Diagnosing Knocking Noise

    Since you're getting the noise under load I'm guessing it's a rod knock. Put your foot on the brake and rev it slowly and only to about 1800 or so RPM's if the knocking gets worse then it's for sure in the bottom end and more then likely a rod. With it continuing to get worse and you stated it...

    Very bad shaking from motor.

    Hope you didn't buy that car in Michigan. I went to look at one before I bought my current car and it had the same problem. Started up fine, but shook like a paint shaker. The whole car vibrated and when I revved it to about 3000 it continued. I thought maybe it was a rough idle or low rpm miss...

    Sleeper v6

    No way would I spend $5000 to upgrade from the 3.8 to a 4.2. I have a 2000 5 speed car. The only mods are Cold air intake and Magnaflow cat back. It's not fast, but not slow. If you really want to make it a sleeper I'd put a turbo on it. Here is a short video of my car 0-60 with the few mods I...

    Expired WTB 16" wheels or Good 15" tires

    I have a 2000 V6 car with the 15" wheels. I need tires for them. I have a friend who sold his Mustang to buy a WS6 Convertible Trans Am and he's passed me on his old tires. Problem is they are 16" so I either need to find a set of 16" wheels or a good set of 205/65/15 tires. I'm in Michigan and...

    BOUGHT A NEW STANG YESTERDAY!

    Nice looking car. If you're looking for a mod I'd go with the CAI and a tune. I have read that tunes for those cars improve the performance and don't hurt your mileage much.

    Need help with these wheels

    I bought a set of wheels from a garage sale for my 2000 V6 Mustang. They are brand new never mounted and I thought they were Cobra wheels. The problem is these are 17x7 no 17x8 so I'm not sure what they are. I didn't know if the Convertibles maybe came with a 7" wide wheel ? Any help I can get...

    New From Michigan

    Hello everybody. I'm new here and I'm from Michigan. Just a quick note about myself. I just picked up the second Mustang I've ever owned. My first ( man I miss it and wish I had it back ) was a 1995 GT 5 speed with several bolt ons. That car started The Mid Michigan Modern Muscle Car Club, a...
