    2011 may have a Cobra

    Then we are on the same page. But Ford isn't going to bring out a cobra for a while. I can't see them competing with the GT500. There is no market inbetween the GT and the GT500. Well, sort of, steeda, rousch, saleen, etc. But even still, I am pretty sure it will not happen. Fun to dream though...

    2011 may have a Cobra

    You can call a dog a lion......but it's still a dog. I see a snake in the front, one on each side, and one on the back. You do the math. Name was shortened. Obviously it confused some people. Like five oh brian said, the car was originally marketed as a Shelby Cobra GT500. My dad has a...

    ?...gears confuse me...?

    I stand corrected. You are right. I guess I filed away the previous model's rear end info. Thanks for straightening me out.

    New 09 Mustang, what should I do to it? :)

    LOL.....I'm sure he doesn't want to change out a motor just yet. I, like the others, suggest driving it first and finding it's short comings for yourself. Everyone has different tastes and the car's weak points are displayed differently to every driver. Suspension should be first. You have a...

    lol 25,000???

    He mentioned his dad had "special" modifications to the frame done. Reinforcements and what not. Is this true? I thought these people wanted to just make their car worth more but my grand dad also said the same to me about his custom f-100 and he wasn't trying to sell me anything......Actually...

    K&N Filter or CAI??

    A lot of issues with oiled filters occur because people over oil them. I've used K&N for over 10 years now in all my cars, I wash them, re-oil them, and never have any problems. Saying that, the green filter mentioned is also a great filter. If you shop for a CAI, which I'd recommend, find...

    ?...gears confuse me...?

    3.27 is stock for auto v6 mustangs in 06 and 07 at least. I think they were lower for the manuals....Off the top of my head I think they are 2.73 stock unless you got an upgrade at the factory. If you're at 2.73, I'd go at least up to 3.73 if not 4.10 for a v6. Bigcat is right though as...

    exhaust

    2 suggestions: 1. If you want duals out the back similarly setup to a GT, then you'll need a GT rear bumper. You can sometimes find these at takeoff stores. Or if you want to dump them, which would make it rediculously and obnoxiously loud without mufflers, you could do that too. 2. If you...

    Throttle Body

    Not sure on the exact size, 56mm-60mm I think, but I know it is ample for what you need unless you are charged. I'd skip both and move on to another mod. Niether will net you anything on the butt dyno, and probably similarly on the real one. Just not my cup of tea, but if you HAD to do one...

    Front grille replacement

    I live in the Austin / Round Rock area....I keep my old Mustang at my parent's for safe keeping. They live out in the country and I'm less worried about it being stolen there than in the city........or some drunk backing into the classic!!! I ordered the grill so I'll give it a shot without...

    Front grille replacement

    I have a pony package grill.....If you can imagine a truck with a hitchball backing right in the front center of the grill where the horsey is, that's where it hit. The fog lights are undamaged and I just need to find a good deal on the pony grill....which if you know somewhere that sells them...

    Front grille replacement

    Hmm.....for some reason I thought this was going to be a little easier than taking off the bumper cover but I had a bad feeling. On step 6.....do I need to buy a new clip? Or is it integrated with the grill. Thanks for your help, I would have been lost without it. Justin01

    Front grille replacement

    Some A-hole backed his truck into my car and managed only to F-up my grill. Thank god he had his hitch ball in or I think something worse might have happened. Anyway, insurance wrote a check and I ordered my replacement pony package grill, and am looking for a write up for changing the grill...

    new 392 but old exhaust

    Ditto. Unless you put a blower on it, a 2.5" will take you up to about 500 bhp. A blower motor is a different ball game too. I had a 1.8L turbo VW and jumped to 3" exhaust and saw about a 20-25 gain aside from the tune.

    2010 Rear End Poll

    All we need is for saleen to make a body kit for it similar to the 05-09's. Something that extends the body and reshapes the butt. Otherwise I think it just looks stupid. Kind of like the Prius. Great car.....til they got to the rear end, then finished it up in about 5 minutes and called it a...

    09 GT battery problem

    The alarm is the only module I know of that runs checks when the car is off. When I bought my 06, the salesman pulled it out of a tight squeezed parking spot so I could get a look in it. When I wanted a test drive, it was dead. If the car sits in a lot for so long, it happens. That's what I was...

    Brand new member, first post.

    Welcome!!! If you can't find an answer to a general question that is unrelated to the motor, you can also skim through and search the GT section too. The auto is a 5R55S 5spd automatic, and it's also used in the GT. Pretty good trans for boot scootin, but it has quite a noticible delay from the...

    Advice on Wheel/Tires?

    I think he wanted Saleens though. Or at least look-a-likes. tl448: Do you have the pony package with the dark GT "bullitt" style wheels?
