    How fast are you???

    The magazines on the LS1 engine put it about even with an '05 Mustang. Look at factory 0-60 times, just search for 'factory "0-60". You will see that the LS1 Z28 runs 1/4 in 13.7 and the SS in 13.6 and 13.5 for the 2002 models. The Trans AM cranked out 13.5 and 13.4 WS6. They are very...

    Hey im new.... just got a new 05 2 weeks ago...few questions.

    This is the most idiotic question that I see people ask about the V6 they bought. Why didn't you just buy the V8 in the first place? Do this. Take that money and pay your loan down. Sale your V6 out right to someone after a year or two and then buy a GT. The price difference is $5,000 and...

    My car got violated today...by a semi.

    DO NOT PUT AN AFTERMARKET BUMPER ON YOUR NEW MUSTANG!!! These things are known for having problems fitting. With experience an autoshop guy can recommend if you should even put one on. But no one, not even an insurance adjuster is gonna try to weasel one in on a new car. Go to a reputable...

    Was a stick the wrong choice?

    I had to buy a stick because it was available and had all of the other options I wanted. The car I ordered (which got turned into an '06) was going to be an automatic. The thing is the performance of the stick is basically the same as the automatic because the auto in these cars is a...

    Just Ordered my Mustang GT on X-Plan Yea baby

    Nope. The dealer is alloted so many cars based on several factors. An X-Plan car takes up a slot in that allotment the same as any order. The only difference is X-Plan car is sold to you at a discounted rate and the dealer gets a special commission.

    Just Ordered my Mustang GT on X-Plan Yea baby

    They sold you. The fact that they told you 8 weeks is dishonest. You are looking at a minimum of October. And that is if they don't put cars in front of you. Think they won't? They are doing you a favor by accepting X-Plan. Think about it. If it was you would you give the X-Plan guy his...

    Raced a WS6 in '05 Stang

    It's funny when you talk to the the older crowd how they say back in my day when cars were real fast. But if you look up the performance specs on cars like the GTO they aren't all that impressive by todays standards. I think the big difference is almost all cars back then had V8s so just about...

    Raced a WS6 in '05 Stang

    Actually in the quarter a tenth of a second is a car length. I actually got about 1/2 (~.4 seconds) a second jump on him. We were even when he gunned it and the car started to lurch forward, but the inertia was already kicking in on my side. I know in stop light tagging it can be almost...

    Raced a WS6 in '05 Stang

    So sais the guy with the modded Mach 1. I have always tried to be safe with any fast driving. The highway I was on is a 5 lane highway on one side, very straight. I have a better chance of getting a ticket than wrecking. Now I realize anything can go wrong at those speeds. But I guess I...

    Raced a WS6 in '05 Stang

    No, just wife. Kids were at the babysitter. I actually had no idea we were doing that fast until it was over. I knew we were somewhere above 100 towards the end. Are you kidding we take the Camry with the kids. You ever try to get an infant car seat and a toddler seat in a Mustang, LOL! We...

    Raced a WS6 in '05 Stang

    WS6 comes up behind at the stop lights and revs engine. Then we start onto highway where he pulls up beside me. About 60 revs and looks over smiling. Now I can't punch it from where I am because of a car up front so I get behind him and come up on the other side of him. About even with him I...

    05 GTs walked by Used Non-Modded Z28s

    I am really sorry I bought into all of the marketing hype surrounding the Mustang and the paid off mags. 0-60 in 5.1 and quarters in 13.6. Yeah then how come every story of a Z28/Trans AM ends in the Mustang getting walked fairly easily. So basically my car will get walked by some kid in a...

    First Oil Change at 5000?

    I don't see anything in the owner's manual about doing the first oil change any faster. I thought you were supposed to because of new engine metal flakes in the oil.

    Subs in trunk

    Who has installed subs in the trunk and what size can you go up to? One place tells me I can do 12" Infiniti. Another tells me the largest I should go is 10" subs.

    How to launch to get 5.1/5.2 0-60?

    How are the mags getting a 0-60 5.1 time? Are they power-shifting or just shifting into 1st and hitting the gas. Should I dump the clutch? Would I have to power-shift *cringe*. Should i dump at 2k or 4k RPMs or not at all. Should I ease the power into the clutch or just contact and dump...

    does anyone have access to service manual?

    Yeah you may be a little picky. But it is un-excusable to leave your CAT wires hanging and put your muffler on like that. I would go to a different dealer if you can. That definately shows extremely sloppy and incompetent work.

    Yellowish Sticky Residue in engine Compartment

    Does it look like a yellow foam? I am surprised it isn't totally dry yet. I would find out what it is before removing it. I believe they spray a yellow foam on the back of the firewall to act as a flame retardant agaisn't engine fires and help protect you in the event of an engine fire.
