    How Much Should I Ask?

    So I'm finally letting her go... 2008 GT with 66k miles, and every option except the Shaker 1000. LED tail lights, roll bar from Autopower with cover and padding, and new Michelin Pilot Sport 245/45-18 tires. I'm in Newport Beach, California, is asking $21,000 too much? Is craigslist the...

    Bilstein Shocks For Sale - Barely Used, $200 plus shipping...

    I have a 2008 GT vert and bought these to replace the stock absorbers at 50,000 miles. They are AMAZING if what you are looking for is a perfect handling track car, corners incredibly flat, high speed is amazingly stable, and the precision is perfect. However, if you have a convertible and you...

    V6 and GT Suspension Differences?

    Are there any differences between the 2008 V6 and the V8 cars in terms of suspension? How about between the convertibles? For some reason I thought the spring rates were different, but I'm not sure. Are the parts completely interchangeable? Thanks.

    Ruined my GT

    2008 GT Vert. 50k miles. Thought I'd do something nice and replace the shocks, which seemed to be getting a little soggy. Thought Bilstien would be good. Now it rides like it's on wood. What in the world do I do now? I'm trying to decide whether a.) I should get some Tokico...

    Expedition - Rear Diff Bearing - Just Replace Diff?

    2004 Expedition, rear diff grinding noise, axle and driveshaft bearing bad. Dealer wants $1500 or so to rebuild it. New diff is $1500, my local mechanic said he'd put it in for cheap. What to do? Is there a place that sells remanufactured diffs for this truck?

    GT and V6 Vert, Same Shocks?

    I have an 08 GT vert. Time for new shocks. I would like a softer ride. Are the shocks for the V6 vert (or coupe) the same as for the GT? Are they "softer"? Can they be interchanged? Thanks!

    Air Suspension?

    I have a 2008 GT vert. Anyone have good or bad things to say about replacing the stock suspension with an air suspension? I see the total kit for about $3,000+, and I assume I'll need to mount a compressor and tank somewhere. is it worth it? Does it make for a completely adjustable...

    Droptop question

    So on the 2008 Mustang, you can only operate the top if the car is moving less than about 3-4 mph. In the previous car, you could operate it as long as the parking brake light was on (say, one click on the handle). I want to know, is there any way to disable this in the 2008 model to allow...

    Mustang Golf Cart

    Saw this today, thought I'd share. Someone put a lot of time into this thing... This is on Balboa Island in Newport Beach, California, where lots of people drive only golf carts, so if that's the preferred mode of transport, it might as well look like this... :)

    Anti-Glare Coating on Nav Screen - GONE!

    On my 2008 Mustang I have the nav system from Ford. Well, after only 6 months most of it has flaked off or been rubbed off by cleaning the screen with only a moist towel. Is this a warranty issue? A common issue? Is there a spray coating I can reapply to the screnn (I assume no, but maybe...

    So is it a GT or a V6?

    So I'm driving along yesterday and I see a Mustang. No GT emblem on the back, nor on the side, and the front grill has the small foglights. But it has a dual exhaust, with cutouts in the plastic, and the large metal cans behind them that look exactly like the ones on my GT (in otherwords it...

    Just Saw New Mustang at LA Auto Show Press Day

    They had all of them under covers until the big reveal, must say, it looks good. The sloping nose is nice, the HID lights are ok, wish they had put the turn signals inboard rather than outboard on the GT. The sloping rear is not too sloping, some had LED lights. The new air vents are...

    Mustang SUV?

    So I got tired of using my Expedition, with it's 9,000 pound tow capacity to haul around my 190 pound motorcycle. Bought a lightwieght aluminum rack (since it only has to hold 190 pounds, and it's actually rated for 400) and had a local company weld in a receiver hitch. Bike doesn't...
