I bought it off the showroom floor, so the bracket was already installed when I "found" the car. Since it is a covertible, it has no stripes, and I am going to have silver stripes put on. Luckily the stripes cover the holes in the bumper, so ultimately it isn't a big deal. The biggest...

I picked up my Alloy GT500 Vert last week and plan on having Lemans stripes put on it. I want to remove the front plate bracket and fill the holes prior to the stripes being put on. The stripes will cover the hole locations. Question is how do I get that thing off? It is held on by...

Hello All! I am back to the SVT world in that I bought an '08 Alloy GT500 Vert last weekend. (I had a SVT Contour a few years back and currently have an '02 GT Vert that will need to be sold). I live in the snow and salt covered midwest, so this car won't see the light of day for about 4...

Mine has very small valve cover seepage. IT has since the day I bought it brand new. I think all GT's with compsite valve covers have a small amount of seepage. Most people never notice it, but many I have talked to, do notice it. It drips once in a while and you can smell oil burning...

I had a '97 Grand Cherokee replaced, at no cost to me, after about 3-4 trips back to the dealer to fix a drivetrain vibration. About the third visit, I got a call from my salesman and he said "come on in, lets sign some papers and send you out in a new truck." It took some complaining, but it...

I loved the C5 Vette plate set-up. You could remove the "Corvette" plate and replace with the required State plate and then replace with Vette filler plate if you don't run a plate. I, too, don't like the '99-'04 GT set-up. I would run a front plate if I could remove it without permanent...

I know this is going to sound weird, and even offend some. I drive my Mustang purely for weekend enjoyment. My '02GT Vert has 5K miles on it and you could eat off the chassis (never seen rain). Since I barely drive this extra car, I would really like it to be something of "historical"...

'95 M3's and '05 M3's are more different than '04 and '05 Stangs................

You must be arguing that the Stang has a better suspension than the M3, since BMW felt it necessary to use 40 and 45 series tires on 18" wheels to make up for it's deficiencies. Mazda, too. The Mazdaspeed uses 17" wheels with 40 series tires. Must be a crap suspension, again, needing those...

I simply started this thread to see if others feel that the reviews are maybe overstating the handling aspects of the '05. I simply find it unlikely that the new Stang, with 55 series all season rubber, a strut suspension, and solid read axle can be such a dominent player in the handling...

I agree. Why have forums if we don't discuss topics like this? What should we talk about, who has the best Christmas tree???

I'm am going to start this off by admitting I have never driven an '05, so I might be pretty off on this. Does anybody else find it hard to believe that a '05GT out handles '03-'04 Cobras and 350Z Track Models?? The hardware says it should be impossible. The tires on the GT alone should...

I am just curious, are any of you "pro-engine cover" guy's the same guy's who all hated the fake hood and side scoops on the '02-'04's???? As far as the rear suspension thing goes, only one answer for no IRS.....CHEAP. If a solid axle was the way to go you would see them using them on...

Cover is just added weight. No function. I vote to leave it off. Looks good without it.

I figure by February the dealers will each have 3-4 GT's on the lots and the rebates will kick in.

This to to eveyone who says to not start it and let it run at all. Arn't you concerned about gaskets and seals drying out? This is why I have always started it about once per month and let it run about 1/2 hour. I agree that the wear internally at start-up probably isn't the best...

My '02 GT has about 5K miles on it and I have always noticed that after it sits for a week or so, it is fairly common to get a bit of oil smoke from the engine after it starts to warm up. I don't really notice it much in the summer because I drive it more and I assume that the drips fall when...

My opinion: Over All Rating : Decent, but leaves me a bit disappointed. Bad: 1. Scoops on rar windows are excessive. 2. Pockets in rear bumper look like something I would put my sunglasses in. 3. Rectangular exhaust way too Pontiac / GM. Keep em round! 4. Painted grille probably...

I have stored several cars, several times, over winter, but always wonder what the best approach is. I always start it and let it run for 15-20 minutes about once a month. Is a full tank the best? With or without stabilizer? I always worry about varnish, etc... messing up the fuel...

I want to tackle the blower install myself, but have never done a clutch. Is changing a clutch a big deal, or is is pretty straight forward?
