    MPG ?

    Gas mileage is primarily dependent on the driver. If you dropped 5 MPG then it sounds like you are breaking in the tires.

    07 5spd GT Getting 15mpg

    I had my car up to 27.5 MPG on a 30 minute trip down the highway. But i was driving behind my friends who drive like grannies.

    07 5spd GT Getting 15mpg

    You will only ever get the advertised ratings if you minimize your RPMs, skip gears, utilize 5th gear and are smooth on the gas pedal, the break and steering wheel. You are not going to drive it like you stole it and get 25 MPG.

    Hi There!! Newbie with a Hot question.

    How do you know that the temp gauge works well? I've had several that appeared to work well but in reality were showing overheating conditions when the car was running at a normal temperature.

    Stock tach that inaccurate?

    Weird....so today i take my car out and the stock tach is dead on with the 5" tach. Yesterday it was up to 1000 RPMs off. This of course is good, but still confuses me. :shrug:

    Whats wrong with my 94gt?

    Start with simple maintenance issues first just to rule them out. Hows the waterpump? Can you tell where the coolant is leaking? Cap? pump? oil? thermostat housing? hose? When i had my '95 i had a very bad overheating problem and pinging issue. My problem was related to a bad...

    Mods for an auto...?

    Gears, shift kit, converter and intake manifold. Those are the basic "bolt on" mods that I'd recommend from my experience. Drag radials, yes. But then you are crossing into what I feel is a shady area of adding non stock appearing items to your car. Which is fine, but seems to me to be...

    confused on this race...

    A stock auto Mustang is not a very fast car. I'm not surprised honestly that another car that seems inferior would/could beat you. I got beat all the time by lesser cars when I had my stock '95 AODE. Mustangs, at least till recently, have been extremely overrated as far as how fast they are...

    Hi There!! Newbie with a Hot question.

    If it gets hot when you stop, i'd think that it was an air related issue. Is the fan working properly? Also, before you do anything, i'd buy a cheap aftermarket water temperature gauge from an autoparts store and hook that up to make sure that the stock gauge is accurate. Those gauges...

    Stock tach that inaccurate?

    First, i found my problem. I tapped into the wrong fuse for the power....duh. Second, my stock tach is actually off by 1000 RPMs cuz I ran it in neutral to 2k, held it, 3k, held it and 4k and held it. The stock tach never "caught up". It stayed 500-1000 RPM behind depending on how high...

    Stock tach that inaccurate?

    Alright, just took the car out on a test drive. Two things are going on. First, the tach only functions when the headlamps are on. Second, the tach light does dim with the dimmer switch but when dimmed, the gauge stops working and displays larger and larger values for each decrease in...

    Stock tach that inaccurate?

    I just recently installed a 5" Autometer tach. Everything seems to work okay so far. However the 5" tach is reading about anywhere from like 500 to 1000 RPMs MORE than the stock guage. I know the stock gauges suck butt and are often off....i'm not new to that fact. But 1000 RPMs?????? I...

    CDC Blue GT ready for SEMA (pics)

    LOVE this car! The chin spoiler COMPLETELY makes this car! :worship: WAY better than the Saleen. I think that the Saleen version is very uncreative although I think thats what you guys look for (ricephobes). The Roush would be my second fav behind the CDC.

    94 & 95 vs. 87-93 fox bodies

    I've had two SN95s and now a '90 GT vert. Everything said so far is true. I have recently put the cobra 13s on the front tho so it stops much better. :) I have a faulty front sway bar so the handling is a little off. I still like the looks of the fox better and they are MUCH more...

    x PIPE OR H PIPE?

    Thankyou! On the cars that most have on this site, the power difference between the two is minimal. Whatever is felt is based MOSTLY on your imagination. Again, if a search was done, you would see this has been said many times. All these two come down to is sound for 90% of you guys. And...
