    Bank Teller Checks Out My '05 GT, Then Turns Nasty

    This is why I don't help people out much anymore. So I was at my bank this afternoon, and one of the 40-something tellers who knows me looks out the window at my car. She likes how it looks so we go to check it out. She asks what model it was, how much it costs, all the standard stuff. Then...

    04 gt intake exhaust and 4.10s vs stock 05 gt 5spd

    Although the autos in the '05s are a vast improvement over previous Mustang autos, they are not as fast as a manual. The much steeper drivetrain loss alone dictates that. And what do you mean "by the time the manual hooks up?" If you know how to drop the clutch, you can launch off the line...

    I think we all got raped : (`

    Kevin, first off, you're completely misreading what I posted. I have absolutely nothing against V6 Muustang owners. It's what they can afford and I fault no man for owning a car that they can afford. I called the V6 "measley" because, AT THAT PRICE, a V6 IS measley! It's the price of an '05...

    I think we all got raped : (`

    $27,000 for a measley V6? Sounds like someone had a bad case of the G.H.I.N.S. (Gotta Have It Now Syndrome). You made one salesman a very happy man. I got my GT for $1,650 under MSRP. Go for a private party sale. Do some research and market to areas where '05s are sparse or rare. That's...

    Vandalism On A Mustang GT...

    When you saw their car in the DESERTED lot, WHY DID YOU CALL THE COPS!? My god, you had a PERFECT opportunity to bash their hood/windshield in. ****, I would had dented every body panel, slashed their tires, and knocked out every window. But that's me. :)

    Security for our stangs.

    I would suggest a car alarm that comes with a pager that works up to half a mile. This way, even if you're in a loud restaurant, you're pager will go off when your car alarm does and you can bash some faces in. :D

    No Functional Air Extractors On The '07 Shelby? Then No Shelby For Me!

    Yes, heat is definitely an issue with the supercharger, but I'd bet my house that it's there to relieve air pressure more than anything else. The pics are encouraging... but they've just stripped so much from this car, and when I saw the pics on svtperformance.com, that was the last straw for...

    No Functional Air Extractors On The '07 Shelby? Then No Shelby For Me!

    After viewing a bunch of pics of the new Shelby on svtperformance.com, it seems that Ford may be deleting the functionality of the air extractors on the '07 Shelby's hood. If this remains so, I will NOT be purchasing an '07. It's not only an aesthetic issue, it's also a SAFETY issue. Let me...

    You mean laser jammers, don't you? Radar jammers are illegal in all 50 states. It's a federal law.

    Rocky Mountain Radar PHAZER II

    For license plates, you should use a laser diffuser license plate cover like Lasershield. VEIL will effective reduce the clocking distance of laser from 3000' to anywhere from 500' to 800', depending on the car. A windshield is not a refective enough surface for laser, nor is the paint on a car...

    Well, I thought when I said VA, that DC would have been assumed as well. I stand corrected on the laser jammer laws. But my point still stands. In 95% of the USA, it's perfectly legal to own and operate radar detectors and laser jammers, as well as apply laser countermeasures such as VEIL and...

    LASER JAMMERS are NOT illegal in ANY states except for VA. A cop who tells you any different is flat out lying and hoping that you are ignorant of the law. Radar detectors are ALSO illegal in VA. Now RADAR JAMMERS, on the other hand, ARE illegal in all 50 states and a five-figure fine. It's a...

    Yep. I've been pulled over for a weak tail light once. Always be polite. Treat them with respect and you usually get respect back.

    CHP Discrimination against mustangs!

    Hey now, I don't think cops are bastards! My uncle is an Inspector up in Staten Island. But to answer your questions, I just checked my manual and you're right - I should reinstall the blinders on the side of my car to the front/rear. A laser gun is not accurate when shot from too extreme an...

    Salesman is ticking me off

    Putting such a huge amount of money down a car that doesn't exist will cause the dealership to think you are "rabid" for this car and you have money to throw around. Therefore, they think you'll pay any infalted price they ask. You may be the first on the block, but you'll be paying at LEAST 65k...
