    paint issues

    If you can check some other 2010's that are your color. My wife had a 2001 eclipse that after a couple years the paint started flaking off. Dealership said nothing was wrong. Well enough people started talking and it came to found out that they had a bad batch of paint and all the cars within...

    Drove home new GT today, but got problems

    Sorry to hear about your car acting up already. I agree that the power steering is probally just an air pocket. MPG's sound right. I AVERAGE 20 MPG's in my gt (with 3.73's) and the 5 speed. I spend a lot of time in trafic to. Almost have 4K on mine now with that average.

    TPMS?

    My dealership said they are. They didn't have any wheels I like so they said to buy the wheels and tires and they would transfer the sensors for me. They said they are very fragile though. Not sure how fragile something in a wheel can be but they made it seem as though they are easy to break...

    TPMS?

    From what I have seen and been told by the dealerships they are different. Not sure about how hard to get them sync up though. I believe the 05-09 was a sensor in the wheel where the 2010 is a sensor that is part of the valve stem.

    Business must not be too bad for dealers....

    That's no different than "SALARY" and is exactally what happens to us too. We get paid for 40 hours and often times have to work 50-60 hours a week. That 10-20 hours extra is at no pay. You are very lucky to work at your specific dealership as the ones around here have crickets in the...

    Business must not be too bad for dealers....

    So what's $25 per hour times zero jobs? Come by my local dealerships service shop and they will tell you. They don't get to avoid the law of supply and demand either. The problem is they want to charge you $110 per hours worth of labor. OK, so that's fine... But then they want to charge...

    2010 GT Exhaust HELP

    I know it's not my beef but that kind of feedback can hurt a business these days and seemed a bit harsh for placing an order. JMHO A week is pretty much industry standard on shipping unless the shop is really close. Now if you paid a couple hundred to have them shipped next day or 2 day air...

    Finally saw a camaro and mustang gt on the road

    The challenger is freaking awesome from the outside. Don't look at the inside thought. It will disappoint you. I was torn between the 2010 GT and a RT challenger and went with the GT due to the inside. Have to be honest though. I romped on both cars and my butt couldn't tell the...

    Wheel size?

    I confirmed with several vendors that the 2010 has the same bolt patterns as the 05-09. Was about to pull the trigger on the below but they don't make them in the mustang bolt pattern on the 8 inch wide rims. They do for the 9.5's though. Go figure :-( Can buy rears but no fronts... I'm...

    Good morning Left laners

    So.... what law am I breaking if I run into a house to get my wife out before you get there? Seriously though... I would like to see it. Not being sarcastic believe it or not. If their is one that would be as bad as my home states (texas) law that states it's under penalty of death to steal...

    2010 Chevy Camaro SS vs. 2010 Ford Mustang GT, 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T

    One last thing for you SS02. If you get your 2010 (and it happens to be black) let me know if you ever come down to Austin. I'm seriously trying to get all three of these cars together for a photo opp. I would love to get a photo of all three with their older brothers (69 camaro, 67...

    2010 Chevy Camaro SS vs. 2010 Ford Mustang GT, 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T

    I agree as well. SS02 seems to be a really top notch guy and someone that I wouldn't mind having a few drinks with nect time I run up to dallas/ft worth. SS02 - I think the prices all depend on where you are at. I normally go to Dallas to buy my cars as Austin is full over over priced...

    2010 Chevy Camaro SS vs. 2010 Ford Mustang GT, 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T

    Say's you maybe... I have 2 mustangs and 2 corvettes in my stable. Have had camaros as well. I guss I'm part of the group that says that car guys will buy cars and could car less who builds it. Sounds like you have some hook-ups with that camaro. The best price I could find was $37K and...

    Issues with the 2010 interior. Some really DUH ones too.

    I would have to call that user error. I've had mine for 2 months now and have never once even come close to doing that. That button is flush mounted to the center console along with 3 other buttons. I'm assuming he keeps hitting the traction control and hazard buttons as well? Seriously...

    2010 Mustang GT

    Any carnauba wax should be good. I personally use the color match turtle wax on all my cars. IT does wonders on hiding the little scratches you get on a daily driven car. Doesn't fix them but hides them very well. The color of the wax just kind of blends it in. Back in my highschool days...

    2010 Mustang GT

    According to roush they are out. See link - ROUSH Performance: Black 2010 Mustang GT Supercharger You may have been specific to the Auto though which I believe you are correct but that is only due to them still working on the tune.

    New 2010 GT owner

    Welcome to the club. This is my third mustang and by far the best. I've had mine for about 1.5 months and 2k miles now and trust me it just gets better :-) Still trying to convince my local dealer the engine is the same as the 09 so that I can get the hot rod cams in. What are you...

    anyone else see the irony here?

    Just noticed the 2010 camaro advertisements at the top of the message boards. Thought it was pretty fun :D Don't get me wrong I like the new camaro's too but had to chuckly a bit the first time I saw it on the stangnet board. On a side note... Have any 2010 owners seen another 2010 on...

    dual on v-6

    Heck if you going to do that you might as well wait a bit. I bet they offer take offs here pretty soon like they do for the 05-09's.
