    aluminum d.s vibration?

    I have a spydershaft and no complaints. But of course I don't drive 120 MPH either. I have driven quite a bit on the interstate around 80 MPH with no issues though. I've been running it for about 20 months.

    WOW IM MAD!!!!!!

    I don't know about all Fords but the mustang is notorious for thin paint at least on the top of the car. You should have seen my 4 year old laser red 98 GT. It was laser red on the sides and pink on top. (faded) My 06 is garage kept and the roof and trunk lid look to be fading. Just...

    Are tail light blackout covers illegal?

    I wouldn't run them if they were 50 state legal. I worry enough about getting rear ended, the last thing I want is my brake lights dimmer. And don't think it doesn't make a difference.

    Side By Side comparison: new and old

    Hmmm. Still hate the rear, looks like some sort of concoction from Pontiac. Still hate the cheap looking bottom trim. Overall it still looks OK though, I'd buy one with a 5.0 under the hood. Probably get a grey one to go with the trim. Until the 5.0 arrives, I'll keep the 06.

    Brand new 09 Mustang smoking

    What really sucks is that Ford put such a WIDE range for "acceptable" oil consumption. No way I'm adding oil to my BRAND NEW car evey 900 miles. That's TOTAL BS. That crap was written to avoid obvious engine repair and whoever came up with that BS should be hung upside down by the nads and...

    prob a repost, but Mustang on 24's

    Those wheels are eating up 120 RWHP. But it does look interesting in a cartoonish way.

    bullitt wheels for s197

    I've never seen aftermarket 18x9 regular lip Bullitts. I kind of like deep dish all the way around.

    GT Headlights...oncoming traffic.

    I've had this car for almost 3 years now and I never run my fogs anymore. I got sick and tired of being flashed by every other car. I would get into a flash war everytime I drove the car. I put some GTS smoked fog light covers on them and that dimmed them down enough that I NEVER got...

    Comp Cams VS Hot Rod Cams

    20 throughout and 50 peak would be impressive even with the added expense of spring installation but are you sure their talking about an otherwise stock motor?

    Comp Cams VS Hot Rod Cams

    I like the Hot rod cams myself, they're the only ones that don't lock out the VCT as far as I know. That's why you get better low end power with them. I'll give up 5 top end HP in exchange for better gains throught the entire power band.

    Tire Question

    Your thinking is right, you need some meaty tires out back. If I were you I would get the american muscle bullitts 18x9 for the front and 18x10for the back. I don't think just replacing the rears with aftermarket bullitts will match good with your stock bullitts in the front If I had my...

    First time Mustang owner

    If you're worried about warranty then your best bet will be suspension mods and wheels/tires right now. Every dealer is different when it comes to warranty and modifications. But none of the basic bolt on's should cause any major problems. CAI/tune, 4.10 gears, aluminum driveshaft, and...

    Tire Question

    +1 Those stock 18"s are only 8"-8.5" wide. Even 275/40/18 has a minimum 9" wheel as listed on tirerack.com. I have the sumitomo HTRZ II 275/40/18's on all 4 corners BTW and they don't hook at all. My car is N/A with 4.10's and has to be feathered into 2nd gear or else it goes sideways...

    CCPlate/Strut Tower Question?

    I'm wondering the same thing. I took my car in for an alignment a couple weeks ago because of tire wear and they couldn't get enough camber. (FRPP springs) I'm considering the CC plates from MM and J&M, and also steeda camber adjusters. The latter are cheaper but only adjust camber. But...

    back from LA auto show, my official review of Mustang/Camaro/Challenger

    A supercharger option with a warranty sounds fantastic but I'll believe it when I see it listed as an ordering option. I've seen 2 challengers in person sitting on the lot, and 1 on the road and I'll agree they are f'n enormous. Bad ass looking but huge.
