    Lugnut torque on 17 gt prem

    Have a 17 gt prem vert. Came w/ 18” wheels and pirelli tires. Picked up a set of optional 10 spoke 19” wheels. Had new tires put on. Tire place insists lugnut torque is 150 ft lbs because the wheels go with the performance pkg. I insist torque should be 105 ft lbs. the car does not have the pp...

    Decided To Wait

    I have an issue with paying $20k for GT that is 8 model years old and they built thousands of them, at least here in Virginia. Especially when the car is sold 'as is' with no warranty. That is why I am considering going with a 2011/2012 V-6 convertible still under warranty with most of the...

    Decided To Wait

    After getting some ridiculous pricing for a 2007-2009 GT convertible, I decided to hold off on purchasing a vert until the Oct/Nov/Dec timeframe. I expect prices to be a bit more reasonable at that time. Expect to be prowling the forum for any and all info on a S-197 purchase as I am totally...

    Newbie Question

    The more I look at the Mustang, the more I agree with your statement. I really need to rethink what my daily driver is going to be. Since the 2007-2009 GTs are relativly pricey, the 2011/12 V6 with a Pony Package is looking quite reasonable. Thanks.

    Newbie Question

    That's why I don't have a 2010 Corvette convertible anymore. One reason I am looking at a Mustang convertible:) After 39 years of marriage, it is much easier to say yes dear than to try to argue! A happy wife is a happy life!

    Newbie Question

    Thanks. I just found out that the 2011 V6 has over 300 HP. That is more than my 2001 GT had! Maybe a GT is unnecessary. Wife can't drive a manual, so, it looks to be A/T all the way. This will be my DD.

    Drivetrain 2007 Gt Pedal Adjustment Need Help

    I had the same problem on a 2010 Corvette I owned. Went on the big auction site and found a clutch pedal extender for Corvette and Mustang. It bolts onto the clutch pedal and adds about an inch and a half in height. You can move the seat back farther. I wanted even more, so I added a 1" piece of...

    Newbie Question

    I owned a 1999 then a 2001 Mustang GT convertible many years ago. I recently retired and am now looking at again owning a 2007-2009 Mustang GT convertible. Are there any issues I should be aware of? I am looking at picking up a car with under 55k miles, A/T and heated, leather seats. I have...

    Any dealers doing X-Plan yet?

    Manual not the reason Let me clarify. The reason I decided not to buy the Stang is not the lack of a manual tranny. It is the inability to purchase the car I want under the X-Plan. If I have to pay list price for a 6 cyl. Mustang convertible, it opens the door to many other possible cars to...

    Any dealers doing X-Plan yet?

    Any dealers doing X-Plan yet?

    Manual Pony Pakage Nice looking car. Good luck with it. If you go to the Ford website and Build Your Own, when you select the Pony Package you get a pop-up that says you must select the auto tranny. Anyway, my wife is pushing for a Saab 93 vert. A friend of hers has one and the woman...

    Any dealers doing X-Plan yet?

    Pony Pkg with the manual tranny? Exhooah, You did ok. For some reason you can't order a Pony pkg with the maual tranny. You may have a rare 2006. Anyway, the Ford dealers think they have gold. I still see a car that will depreciate eventually. Since they don't want to deal, I have started...

    Any dealers doing X-Plan yet?

    Looking for an 06 convertible, V-6 with the Pony Pkg and Auto Trans. as the only two options. Windveil Blue with charcoal cloth seats or Legend Lime with parchment seats. Southeastern VA dealers not very cooperative.

    My Engine is Out of My Car...All of the threads

    Glad to see FORD finally do things right. I am waiting for the vert, however, my wife is interested in the new Freestyle. I was nervous about buying something so radically new, but, if FORD is willing to stand behind their product, I probably am going to pick one up.

    Why I'm going with a V-6

    As the owner of a V-6 99 vert, I traded it in for a 01 GT vert. My impressions: The V-6 and V-8 gas mileage was NOT significantly different. I know, it surprised me too. The insurance cost me another $165/yr. Not that much. Right now, the 01 has 15,500 miles on it. I am waiting for the conv...

    So...what are folks paying for the GTs?

    Prices stabilizing as inventory builds. I am waiting for the vert to come out. However, I am also in the market for a station wagon type vehicle. The Freestyle is 8 week delivery for an ordered car. Got quoted invoice today for an SEL. There are 5 Ford dealers within 15 miles. There are at...
