    2005 Mustang automatic shift indicator & dust cover broken

    Mine broke too on my 05. I took the indicator part out completely because I never look at it, lol. And I super glued the broken piece of the dust cover that broke off. Good as new!

    Sct Tune Question

    What were your 0-60 times? Like 5.4 to 4.9? And did the tune firm up your automatic shifts?

    Sct Tune Question

    Yeah, it's definitely FWHP they talk about it adding as auto makers usually only give FWHP as their initial ratings. But i had a feeling these numbers are a little bogus for a stock mustang. Just seems hard to believe that SCT can squeeze out more horsepower than a BOSS with just a tune.

    Sct Tune Question

    So I asked a question to the SCT's customer support after reading their tune could give a 28hp & 34tq boost. I asked, quote "Are these numbers accurate for a stock mustang? As in, if i were running premium fuel, hitting the 420\390 stock numbers, i can hit 448\424? If not, what is the top...

    So I Drove A Lamborghini Gallardo Lp550-2.....

    I drove a GT-R at Disney like Svtpilot talked about. And i have the same opinion, braking was crazy in that car. So was the handling. Loved driving it and wish I could own one along with my GT. End of the day though, the sound of a V8 Mustang alone wins my heart. :)

    Exhaust Drone On The 2014 Gt Auto

    Hmm, that's interesting, my '13 was so quite I had a new pair of mufflers ordered within a week of me buying it brand new like you, haha. I wonder if there is a difference? I could barely hear the mufflers at all over the engine noise.

    Is The New Car That Good?

    Does your 01 get 25mpg? Cause my '13 does and I love it. :)

    Back In The Saddle, Head About To Explode From Pypes

    I like my S-Types. They have a good sound and loud enough when you want them to be, but quite when cruising at highway speeds. No drones at all.

    Where Do You Put Your Loose Change?

    Yeah, I have no need for change in my car, it stays in my pocket. Change is clutter, and I prefer a non cluttered car, lol.

    Borla S Type Installation Axle Back Question

    Yeah, I had to drop my hangers with the mufflers still attached, then put hangers on new mufflers.

    Track-apps 0-60's

    Stopped to do a 0-60 today. Had one of my better launches I think. Outdoor temp of 81, intake at 83. I was happy with the result. :) Stock 3:31 with 6 speed.

    Track-apps 0-60's

    I'll set the bar really low here. Should get these kinda numbers from an 05-10 GT. I'm pretty sure I missed 3rd gear on this run or something stupid. It was also a muggy-hot Florida day in October.

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    I've left my main fuel economy thing alone and haven't reset it for over 1,000 miles. It sits at 24.7 mpg now and almost never moves. I sometimes get it to go 24.8 but then I soon drop it back down. :) 5.0 GT Manual, 90% of my driving is a 40 mile round trip to work, mostly highway driving...

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    I did my 5k first oil change a few weeks back. My "Trip 2" I never reset from when I bought it new, so it accounts for all 5k miles, and it's about 23.9 mpg. Had some really bad gas mileage that first 1k miles. I normally get about 24.5-25 mpg average now depending on how aggressive I drive...

    Fast Mustang 101?

    Also, the '11 GT's are probably going to run you around 20k too though. So you will have to play with some forced induction on an 05-09 if you want to get 400rwhp. I would get the '11 now, not mod it at all for a year or two until i saved up your 3-5k mod range, then mod the '11 for even more...

    Fast Mustang 101?

    I think all GT's come with traction control from 05-14 (someone correct me if i'm wrong) as it's part of the ABS system too. They are all about the same; as far any particular year you would want to stay away from, there really isn't one that i know of. Just keep in mind, 05-09 is 300hp, the...

    Shifting 2012 V6 Manual Transmission

    Yeah, I still get a little quick at times and notice my shifting getting worse if i haven't driven it for a few days. Then I have to put some thought into it to make it smooth. Eventually I'll retrain myself for it to be second nature. :)

    Shifting 2012 V6 Manual Transmission

    You need to wait a half second or so for the rpms to drop before dumping it under a normal, smooth acceleration. Otherwise, you will definitely get a lurch forward. Wait to long, and you'll slow down a little. Foot needs to come completely off the gas for at least half second to a second. And by...
