    Shelby GT500 sucks !

    I think the issue with this car centers around the gears. It spins the tires all the way through first. Better gears will put more power to the pavement and improve the times.

    87 octane can only be used?

    My car does not run well on 87 octane. I use 89 now and the car runs much better. I was getting slight pinging on 87 and the 89 has cleared that up.

    Pinging

    The pinging does not occur after shifitng, but rather when I am winding it out, foot to the floor. I was going to try 91 octane without a tune to see if that cures it?

    Roll windows down via Anti-Theft keyfob???

    Maybe I have not had this problem because I don't drive my Stang in the rain or snow. But, I've washed the car more than a few times and have not ever had the problem.

    Red leather is the only way to go. It's such a classic look. Easy to keep clean too!

    trouble

    It's all normal. Get used to it since there is no enginerring fix. Don't worry, the car gets plenty warm anyway! Plenty of heat coming off of that V-8.

    Headrests

    I like the headrests because they nearly elimintate the possibility of whiplash. Since the back of my head touches the headrest, it seems that there is virtally no way for the head and neck to snap backwards if you are rear-ended. I beleive that this type of head/neck protection is a future...
