    2010 Mustang Dyno -280 Rwhp

    So did we ever confirm that this was in fact a manual and not an automatic? I'm more interested in results the manuals are putting down.

    2011 Mustang Leaked !!!

    The 05 and up had the 3650, I don't know what the previous years used. I think t45 but I'm sure I'm wrong I just pulled that one out of the air. All I can say is if we're getting 400 HP and TQ soon then we're gonna need a transmission to hold up. The 6 spd Tremec in the '03 Cobra would...

    Underside rust on my new 2010 GT500

    So GM puts a protective coating on the underside of their cars. I guess so when they're doing their oil changes they can look at how nice everything still is. Just because Ford doesn't, and you see rust, doesn't mean the vehicle is any less functional, and if you don't like it, get your car...

    Underside rust on my new 2010 GT500

    Like it or not, underneath it's just a Mustang with enhanced suspension, bigger tires, and a bigger engine. It's not going to be any less prone to things like this than the regular V6 Mustang. Those other issues with paint and air vents all seem like minor things that can be repaired at the...

    2011 Mustang Leaked !!!

    Everything I've found online about the Tremec 3650 (current GT tranny) states it is rated at 360 LB FT of torque, which IMO, seems conservative. I know there are a lot of GTs out there with blowers on them making a lot more than that. Then again, who knows how well it puts up with the extra...

    2011 Mustang Leaked !!!

    Yes, the heads and block are aluminum. It was in a brochure for my 05 (back in the day) touting that it saves weight, which it does. SS02 is right about the brakes, but I don't see it adding anything significant, as we already got all the suspension upgrades for 2010 so the rest of the car...

    Underside rust on my new 2010 GT500

    I don't mean to sound insensitive or non caring....but it is the underside of your car, who's under there looking? and my 05 looked like that when I did my first oil change on it. It's bare metal exposed to the elements, paint it if it's a problem, but I really really doubt the dealership will...

    2011 Mustang Leaked !!!

    But I was trying to poke fun at you first :D But yes, I agree the Mustang will gain some weight. I'm not an engineer and don't pretend to be one, so I can't speculate as to how much. I don't think it will gain as much as the Taurus SHO did, because the GT is already a pretty capable...

    watching DVD while car moving

    Probably a safety issue considering the screen is in the front. I doubt it (although I don't know) that you can watch while driving, refer to your manual.

    Strut Tower Brace

    I thought I had read that the strut tower brace only comes on the car if you have 19" wheels? I could be wrong though :shrug:

    Vehicle Quality Survey

    Can't say that I have. I sure got the survey from Ford all filled out though, I was holding it hostage (not literally lol) until the dealership made my first car payment due to my whole fiasco with their crappy service dept ;)

    2011 Mustang Leaked !!!

    I would hope that after the 2000 Cobra they will have learned their lesson (And again, I'm being optimistic here) I've seen a lot about the stock 2010 manuals putting down around 280 HP at the wheels which would indicate that they are slightly underrated as that would put it around 330 HP at...

    2011 Mustang Leaked !!!

    What are the new safety standards? I googled and didn't find anything and I'm not about to dig. And didn't the Mustang score 5 star front crash test rating while the Camaro got 4 stars? I think it'd be the other way around as far as having to make changes to comply with new standards. (Not...

    Colors in 2011?

    I'm thinking stripes will help, I love the color but I agree it needs something to break it up a little bit. I think white stripes would look great but I want to see one in person first. :nice:

    2011 Mustang Leaked !!!

    I'm with you on that one. I didn't start modding my last stang for quite a while, and didn't do anything that would have voided the warranty while it was still under the 36k. I'm going to start with simple stuff on this one, like flowmasters and a short throw shifter. I'll wait a while on the...

    2011 Mustang Leaked !!!

    At least I'm not driving a blown 4 banger with a metal wing and exhaust pipe big enough to stick my head in that sounds like a lawn mower :D

    2011 Mustang Leaked !!!

    Well just keeping all things in perspective here, the GT with track pack is running 13.5, and all the runs I've seen the SS is pretty consistent 13.0, so add 85 HP and 75 TQ to the equation and still most likely the weight advantage will go to the Mustang. It's not going to tromp all over an...
