    Top speed of a bone stock 2005-07 Mustang GT

    You might be able to tame that by turning up the hood bumpers a little. Mine did this a bit but, the more disconcerting thing was the front end getting a little light and the decrease in steering authority. It certainly wasn't like the old basking-shark-mouth '68 coupe I had back in the day but...

    What Fluid In 2014 Mt-82 Transmission??

    It was and if it smooths out in a couple miles I'd just leave it. DTC's pretty good. Address the shifter quality issues first. If I had to recommend another fluid, I'd use Redline MTF. I tried several and this was the best combination on my last car, over the Ford QS, that came in my car. When...

    Hmm, so you get hood lift on your Boss? Is it a 12 or 13? I did on my 12 as well. I suggest the hood vents on the 13+ were possibly not for cooling but for stability. My 14 is more solid at high speed, though I haven't tested it fully.

    Top speed of a bone stock 2005-07 Mustang GT

    It was a good discussion anyway and I was stretching a little too. one can do a lot in the right circumstances. I don't think my '14 Gt has much above 160 in it either, uncorked. Maybe there is a "racetrack in Mexico" where I'll try it one day. Kinda feeling the need to watch my six after...

    Then what's the issue? I quoted from the full text of the mt article associated with this. I must be misunderstanding you, I'm sorry.

    Top speed of a bone stock 2005-07 Mustang GT

    Respectfully, I watched the vid but you brought up the mt test in your comments so I looked at that too. And the CD as well. I think it matters that two internationally recognized mags couldn't confirm 200 with tests they designed to be as advantageous as possible. I'm definitely not as...

    Top speed of a bone stock 2005-07 Mustang GT

    I took another look. The decline ref's in the MT article, here: "After strapping on GPS antennas, VBOXes, and GoPro cameras, it’s go time under ideal conditions: 64 degrees F and 15-percent humidity. The only issue is a slight headwind. It gives Pobst another thought — flip the Shelby around...

    Top speed of a bone stock 2005-07 Mustang GT

    Well....if we are talking about shading meaning and qualifying statements, the GT500 ain't made 200 mph yet in a test either. "approaching" ain't quite "doing". From my skim of the article, 196 unaveraged, downhill, with a tailwind is even less like "doing", in my view. Fastest I've gone...

    Top speed of a bone stock 2005-07 Mustang GT

    Well, that's a heck of a "regardless". As I said, every mph gained is cubed in power needed over the previous one. It's not exact but, a pretty good guideline. The curse of elevation is the same for aircraft. Non-jet aircraft make more power at lower altitudes but the high air density induces...

    Top speed of a bone stock 2005-07 Mustang GT

    Neither C&D or MT was able to validate 200, even stacking the deck by using a banked oval and high ele. On a banked oval, which erases some of the aero problems, C&D got about 189 average of 2 directions, out of an uncorked one, MT a little better by using a declined road and tailwind to push up...

    Top speed of a bone stock 2005-07 Mustang GT

    no way a 3 valve on stock aero breaks 150 mph in real life. It just doesn't have the power and is as slippery as the speed brakes on a 747. The 100+ extra horses out of a Coyote makes it go, maybe middle 160s uncorked, if, you have a really long road. To go close to 200 on these cars you need...

    2012 Mustang Gt Mt82

    my 2012 imploded its MT at about 10K. Ford fixed it and it was fine. If it's not whining or grinding, it's likely just fine and you can probably buy with confidence. I have an '14 auto car now due to disability and the fact the auto is really flipping cool though.

    Brembo Brakes?

    No they aren't standard. Only about 1/10 of Mustang GT owners purchased these in 2014. The rotors are 14 inches v. 13 for standard and the BBP cars are 4 piston v. 2. They are totally worth it. You can but take off calipers, BBP rotors and lines and they'll bolt up to your standard spindle no...

    Who Has The Best Tunes?

    Strong positive review for VMP as well. Turned my auto into a beast with no other changes. Not the absolute cheapest but, value and results definitely there.

    Using The 2013 Automatic Selectshift Transmission

    That sucks balls...no thank you, Bama. VMP significantly adjusted the shift speed and firmness on my '14, even with standard line pressure settings. I use it for backroad duty, where manual selection and holding gears helps. Straight line stuff, it's just stick it S and let it do it for itself...

    Anybody Drive Their Gt In The Winter In The North?

    I'm gonna make you laugh with this: A couple years back on my former 2012 car, I was driving it through winter which had been mild and snow free so, no big deal. I misjudge a parkade cutaway one day and blew one of summer only P zeros on the car. I had to wait for tires to be ordered in and...

    How To Tell Difference Between Gt And Gt Premium

    Premium has leather, trims on the doors, ambient lighting, a bit more chrome, dual lighted vanity mirrors, leather wrapped wheel and a host of other small stuff. The tip off that's most obvious is the leather/pleather seats. You definitely want Premium. The base interior is checker-cab crude and...

    Reliability?????

    The f1s I have seen on other 14 coupes. I'm in Canada so it may be different too. These tires have not been replaced. You can almost always tell. They show wear consistent with 12000 miles of use. This car is an extreme late build 14 so it contains a number if strange things. In Canada, for...

    Reliability?????

    Manufacturers make incremental changes all the time without advertising them; that's why it's usually best to buy the last of a generation rather than the first. There is definitely more sound deadening panels, pads and treatment in the '14. I have pulled some trim to spoon out a small ding in...

    Reliability?????

    600+ hp and an injudicious application of throttle. MT car so, the ass got light, it went sideways, hit a concrete kerb around the median and rolled, shearing off a 10 inch alder at the base with the passenger door. It was a transcendantal experience, I assure you. The 14 auto is a better car...
