    Tires for the Mustang

    I have a full set of Firestone tires in my garage, about a year old I bought for my Tbird and never put them on. They are Firehawk P235/50 R17 95V. Would these be OK for the Mustang GT. I measured them and they seem to be an inch wider than factory. I know I would loose the Z rating but that's...

    Drop kit questions

    Since I don't know much about drop kits....Last I knew was in the 60-70's air shocks in the rear. Anyway can you put the 1" drop springs in the front only to give it a more raked look. Would this cause problems? Kind of like what we used to do to the cars in those eailer days.

    2005 Mustang GT & synthetic Oil

    "When new cars come form the factory with synthetic oil the cylinder walls are honed to different specification, for ring sealing. I suggest waiting until 1000 miles to go to synthetic and go with the same weight (at least to start with)". Thanks that is where my confusion comes in, I did...

    2005 Mustang GT & synthetic Oil

    I want to run my Mustang GT until about 500 miles and then change the oil. I woulkd like to go to synthetic oil. Some have said wait till 1,000 miles till you go to synthetic oil. I don't understand this because the Corvette and Cobra R come from the factory with synthetic oil. Thus during the...

    For all of us that hate the muffler placement

    That's not accurate. Being in the business I'm in I know only those disatisfied complain. The 20,000 Mustang owners you are not hearing from on this board are happy with the mufflers or could care less. When you are disatsfied you seek out ways to express it as you did when you created the...

    Fuggin soccer mom drivin a new GT

    This guy was just complaining that he couldn't get one and she could. Maybe when he's a little older (just this side of soccer status) maybe his job will provide enough disposable income to aquire one of these cars. Something for this guy to aspire to 1)age, maturity (about the age of that...

    Anyone buying for "collector" status?

    I've done some collecting. Don't buy an 05 and wait for it to be a collectable. Buy a good value collectable now and sell it. I had a 73 Mach 1 with ram air that I bought with 48,000 miles on it no rust original but faded paint. I had a $5,000 factory correct paint job put on it, added about...

    two 05 gt`s run at the track... [video]

    The mustang is a less expensive car than the GTO. The speed is neck and neck. The big difference in my mind is if you don't read the name badge I couldn't tell it from all the other Pontiacs. Not a distinctive look. A tired look.

    Which mustang is this?

    Do after market parts such as the bumpers have to meet crash test standars? If Ford offers them, such as the concept style bumper? I agree no reason to think it wouldn't but just wondering?
