    2011 V6 Performance Package - Worth It?

    I love the sounds of the performance package on the V6 but is it worth it? I'm not going to be racing the car or anything even remotely like that but do appreciate good handling on the windy mountain roads in my area. Opinions anyone? Thanks in advance!

    Trouble Finding Basic 2011 V6 Info!

    I'm a very enthusiastic 2005 V6 owner chompin' at the bit to get a 2011. Would likely have gone to the Camaro or Challenger if Ford hadn't wised up and vastly improved the 2011 but I'm definitely sold. However, I'm having difficulty getting detailed info. on the packages, options, pricing...

    2005+ Bra for V-6

    I know those black vinyl bras are not exactly the best front-end protection options for any number of reasons but at this point I'm simply looking to cover up some bad nose dings, etc. Believe me, no clear coat protection or "armor glove" would have prevented these and they look like crap. So...

    2005 Bumper Cover Question

    My 2005 V6 front bumper cover got pretty well mangled and needless to say I'm looking to replace it. I'm not in the market to make my much-loved V6 "look like" a GT but does the GT front bumper cover fit the V6? Does the year (2005-07) matter? If I can also consider GT covers that widens my...

    2005 Dash Rattles

    Already have 40k miles on my 05 with no problems except for a couple of annoying dash rattles or vibrations. I solved one particularly annoying one at the windshield post on the driver's side and one at the door lock knobs. There are, however, some pesky ones still driving me nuts on the dash...

    05 Dash Rattles...TSB Anyone?

    Love my 05 and had some things taken care of early on according to TSBs posted on this site. However, has anyone seen any TSBs related to ongoing rattles and vibrations in the dash? I kind of doubt it and I am assuming Ford is going to leave it up to the owners to deal with them or just learn...

    Black Chrome Billet Grille - Upper and Lower

    I know I've seen these before...the "billet" style grilles (upper and lower) for the V6 2005 Stang in polished black chrome but now that I'm looking to buy, I can't find them anymore. Does anyone know who has these? The polished chrome or brushed finish are a dime-a-dozen but I prefer to have...

    Strange Rattle in Right Rear Wheel Area

    Anyone else hear of this problem...there is a really strange rattle, somewhat loud, that's coming from my right rear wheel area. It only starts at highway speeds, is very intermittent and starts and stops for no apparent reason. The only common element when it does occur is that increased...

    Strange Rattle in Just-Installed Flowmaster Muffler

    Well, I suppose this is sort of tech-related but figured I'd be more likely to get an answer here than in a tech-specific forum. Here goes....Just had a Flowmaster 40 series installed on my 05 V6. Gives it a geat tone and it's a lot of fun to gun the engine in parking garages. However, there...

    Flowmaster Installed in V6!

    Also posted this in the V6 forum but the general 05 Stang crowd might be interested as well. Now, for the inevitable knuckle-head who accuses me of "trying to make my 6 sound like a GT", nothing could be further from the truth. I love my V6 and don't understand those that try to make theirs...

    Just Installed Flowmaster 40 In V6...Yee-Ha!

    Had a Flowmaster Series 40 Delta Flow installed yesterday in my V6 and what a difference...now THAT'S an American car sound! Definitely some increased interior noise but well worth it given the low rumble (but far from obnoxious) outside. It may have boosted the hp but I'm not certain; may...

    Flowmaster Super 40

    I know there's been loads of info. put on this site about Flowmaster series mufflers (and other exhaust mods) but it's way too much for a non-gearhead like me to interpret. So....I've heard the Flowmaster Super 40 will do a nice job of deepening the sound of the V6 and giving it a bit more of...

    Yet Another IUP Question!

    Okay, as if there isn't enough posted on this forum about the IUP....I looked at the thread posted on the other site and while it's certainly full of information (much of it about as intelligible as a typical legal document for a novice like me) here's my question: I ordered my manual Redfire...

    Why I'm going with a V-6

    Clearly there is a preference amongst Mustang fans for the GT and I can certainly understand why. However, speaking for myself and possibly many 05 V-6 owners and soon-to-be owners (end of Jan for me...or so they say!) here goes why I chose the 6 over the GT.... I won't be racing anyone...I...

    Seek Advice - V6 Fluid Changes

    I ordered my V-6 (Redfire, IUP, etc, etc.) just a couple of weeks ago so I'm well into the painful waiting period. However, might as well be prepared....I've seen a lot of conflicting advice on when to do the first fluid changes (oil, tranny fluid, etc.) and in particular what kind of oil...

    AQHA Discount on 05 Mustangs

    I read somewhere (I think on this site) that Ford was offering a $500 discount on the 05 Mustangs if you were a member of the American Quarter Horse Association. Does this ring any bells with anyone out there? I can't find that info. right now but would like to confirm...every bit will help...
