    2000 GT FOR 11,000

    I bought my 2000 GT convertible with 33000 miles for $15K. I really think you can get the same deal with a car that has much lower mileage. 80K is way to high for any american car. Just my thought.

    Appearance mods questions

    So far, I am inclined towards the following aesthetic modifications: Autometer gauge clusters; Mach1 chin; SS bumper inserts; What do you guys think. I have a few questions. Does the autometer cluster directly plug into the factory cables? In other words, can I just remove the stock one...

    Excessive heat from engine bay

    Well, it is not that bad when I am riding with no passenger behind me so I could back up my seat and incline it. I do often have my top down. In the future, I will certainly add a different thermostat. I noticed that the engine temp goes a little beyond the middle when driving with the a/c on...

    Excessive heat from engine bay

    I was cruising with 3 friends for the first time in my convertible yesterday and I had to bring the seat forward. After an hour of driving, I noticed my feet were getting real hot. I put my hand underneath the steering column and felt alot of heat coming from the engine. Is there anything I can...

    What is with the 2005 Mustang's Antenna?

    Or they could have the antenna printed on the rear windshield. I had that on my old Grand Prix. It sure gives the car a clean look and I had better reception than my current mustang antenna. Ford needs to listen more to customer needs. :bang:

    Best exhaut upgrade for Performance

    Thanks for the link. I had forgotten about it. So far, I understood that most power gains come from the Catback and Midpipe. The H-pipe has the low-end torque advantage over the X-pipe. So I shouldn't consider headers? Also, nobody answered my questions about the difference between...

    Best exhaut upgrade for Performance

    How about the Magnaflow catback? Is it the same or are the Magnapacks louder? I do drive my car daily and would like to keep it according to emissions. So a catted x pipe is in order.

    Best exhaut upgrade for Performance

    Best exhaust upgrade for Performance I like the sound of the stock exhaust. I am not interested in making my car more noisy. I just would like to know what is the best upgrade I could do for my exhaust: Catback, X/H pipe or headers. Also, can someone explain the difference between short and...

    How about a 1/4 mile time for an automatic 2000 convertible?

    talked to one of the 05s designers today............

    For some reason, most car websites post 2 different drag coefficients for each the V6 and the GT: 0.33 and 0.36. Though they are similar in shape for most years. I guess the aerodynamics of the 99+ Mustang GT are not better than those of the 300C. The SRT-8 looks pretty cool with the high...

    talked to one of the 05s designers today............

    I have to differ with your first point. How do you see this, http://www.chrysler.com/300/features/exterior_photos/img/photo_3.jpg, as rounded in every direction:bang: . The grille is virtually standing vertical. The car ressembles a big block and is in no way as aerodynamically efficient as the...

    talked to one of the 05s designers today............

    Sorry but I don't expect any conventional car magazine to discuss information about drag coefficients. It is a good that you did the research and found out what it is about:nice: . I posted the reply to give people a little background in the engineering of the body. I am not trying to put down...

    talked to one of the 05s designers today............

    When aerodynamics considerations are in order, one needs to consider the drag coefficient. The drag results from the wind resistance to the movement of the car. The coefficient directly depends on the geometry of the body and on the resulting surface boundary layer. The more edges there are, the...
