    2005 gt break in procedures

    The break in was done the first 25 miles. Drive it like you stole it! I did a smoky standing still burnout with 50 miles on mine, Now with 4K miles - everything is fine - doesn't burn a drop of oil

    A/C prob?

    I have the same sense that the A/C does not cool as well as it should. Now, I'm comparing the 05 Stang cooling capacity to my 2001 Audi A4 and my wife's 2003 Honda Pilot. Both offer superior cooling capabilities. Now, that can be due to vent design and aiflow - for example if the Stang's...

    Intake Obstruction Remove

    It's not possible that it is straightening the airflow since there is no direct routing of air through the thing. Now, maybe it was designed to have minimal impact on airflow, but it's hard to see how a one pound, half-can of Bud with cement inside does that!

    Intake Obstruction Remove

    I don't have any pics, but if you can imagine a can of Bud cut in half and filled with concrete you'd have a good idea of the size, look, feel and weight of this lovely item. Oh, and the concrete interior has holes like swiss cheese. Out with that nasty obstruction - in with clean ariflow...

    Intake Obstruction Remove

    I finally got around to removing the hydrocarbon obstruction in the intake. No problems so far. My Gt was an early October build. Any comments?

    Head rests

    I for one strenuously disagree that Ford dropped the ball on the head rests. HAve you sat in a late model Volvo - or any Volvo built in last one or two decades? Ford has finally desinged a headrest that will prevent if not eliminate whiplash. My headrests do not interfere with my head...

    Strange Noise

    I too have noticed this noise when the A/C is on - what the heck is it?

    You're sitting too upright - tilt your seat back a bit more - no head rest clearance problems now!

    Popping Noise when I turn the wheel

    I got my Gt in October of 2004. Build date was 7 days into initial poduction. I've only heard the Popping noise once. When the car was cold and a I made a hard right turn. What'sthe deal?

    Toast...

    Maybe, but traffic flows at 75-80 MPH at rush hour!

    I did check for the extra antenna and the wide tires and low budget hub caps - it was not the LAW!

    Toast...

    Not for nuthin, but do you find a whole bunch of folks trying to "race" you in your new Stang? Tonight was crazy. There were a bunch of NUTS trying to out maneuver me on my short highway drive. Then, on the back road to my house, a ricer tried to come around me on the right (no luck)...

    The red interior is terrific. I originally ordered my car with the tan leather, but I could not sleep knowing that I was NOT getting the red interior. Thank goodness it was not too late for my dealer to change my order. Here are some interior shots:
