    Build a 2008 Mustang Online?

    That IS strange! That site has all the right options (or so it appears), yet Ford Corporate hasn't updated their own site! I'm ordering my GT today, but had to pick and choose out of the '08 brochure. :notnice: Online is much easier. ~SM

    Need info on GT security system please!

    Dunno! My company didn't mention anything about it when I called for a quote. Would you believe my wife is actually giving me grief over this thing? It's a $350 option! She wants me to get a stereo upgrade instead for $600! Instead of protecting the car from theft and burglary, she wants to...

    Need info on GT security system please!

    Hmm, sounds good. Except that I don't think I'd be able to leave the dog in the car unattended. :D Thanks for the link! ~SM

    Need info on GT security system please!

    Hey all! I'm ~this~ close to ordering an '08 GT! BUT, I need one more bit of info before I call the sales guy back. I'm thinking the security system could be a handy thing to have, given how cool and probably thief-prone the Mustangs are. My wife thinks a security system is going to be an...

    Vista blue with aftermarket rims??

    Sweet! Can't wait to order my Vista Blue GT! LOVE that color! ~SM

    Instrument cluster question?

    Well that's just weird! I've read every brochure I could get my hands on, and have combed through the Ford website multiple times, and never see any mention of different gauge clusters with the Interior Upgrade. You'd think they might want to mention that! :rolleyes: ~SM

    2008 GT: What's a fair price?

    Thanks for the info guys. That will definitely be helpful. I would LOVE to get in on an '07 with some good rebates, but I won't even consider a GT that doesn't include side impact air bags, the light graphite interior, and the interior upgrade package (silly, I know, but it's MY money! :D )...

    2008 GT: What's a fair price?

    I'm trying to get myself into a GT, but I'm not about to settle for the '07 leftovers. Not that there's anything wrong with them, it's just that I have a very specific set of options and colors I want, and I'm not willing to compromise if I'm plunking down this kind of cash (already looked at...

    Throttle lag for engine braking

    Ah, so it may be that the "lag" is actually intentional, then. Hunh. Interesting. ~SM

    Which wheels for me? Opinions Appreciated!

    I really don't mean to step on any toes, but I just don't get the fascination with ginormous rims. I've come to expect it on ricer cars... goes right along with the oversized wing and oversized front fascia, and the general lack of taste altogether... but on a muscle car (or an SUV, for that...

    First Post-Pics of car

    Dude! Those 1st two shots look awesome... they look like they should be in an ad somewhere. Nice job! (and cool car!) ~SM

    hoods

    Does that thing have an actual ram air kit that can be added, like all the Cervini hoods? It looks great! ~SM

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    That's really interesting about the SC... I wonder how it affects the highway mileage...? ~SM

    Throttle lag for engine braking

    I'm pretty new to the forum and don't actually own a Mustang yet, but this all sounds pretty strange! Why would Ford not deal with these odd throttle issues up front? I've seen posts all over the place about it, so it must be a really common problem...? You shouldn't have to do an aftermarket...

    Prospective owner asks: V6 or V8?

    The few times I've had someone do this at traffic lights (though I wasn't in a Stang), I've found it's very entertaining to actually wait a few ticks before even moving... basically ignoring them altogether. They really look goofy zooming off by themselves, and it's sure to disappoint when they...

    Differences from '07 to '08?

    I know there are some color changes and some package/option changes, but does anyone know if there have been any exterior/interior style changes made to the new '08 model? Thanks! ~SM

    Quick (?) from a Noob

    Doh! :bang: Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully I can find a GT with the options I want, and now a few options I don't. ~SM

    braking in car?

    If the ECU is anything like the one in my bike, the only "learning" that goes on involves air and fuel ratio... a constant monitoring of air density to adapt the fuel accordingly. All fuel injection systems do it (or at least that's what I've been told). Not so much learning driving habits as...

    Quick (?) from a Noob

    I don't own a GT yet, but I'm almost ready to get one! Quick question: is the GT package hood scoop functional, or just for pretties? I have a pet peeve about non-functional scoops and vents. Thanks! ~SM
