    New s197 owner...questions

    Hey guys just a few questions about the general performance capabilities of the car in Stock/Vert/Auto form. First...what's the 'wet' weight for the GT (it's a CS) auto car? What's considered the 'typical' 60ft times/1/4 ET and MPH? What's the typical dyno results in stock form? She seems...

    Since I only post here.... Mach was tinted :)

    That car is a life long love of mine...perfect top to bottom. I wouldn't change a thing.

    First pics of my 08 GT/CS.

    It's tough...but easy decision as you are well aware, family first. I did this........ and with the 88's paint code, turn it into this: kind of 'an in memory of'....not the pure fun of the 88, but it comes close. Nice to see us older guys on here though....judging from your...

    First pics of my 08 GT/CS.

    Sometimes you reach a point when there's nothing left to do except start over. With that car there litterally was nothing left to do but jump into projects that were going to cost HUGE amounts of cash and with a little boy who deserves everything the world has to offer I couldn't justify...

    she let me indulge in the my 88 for YEARS without any restrictions or even a dirty look...I won't admit to how much I did spend on that car...but it was alot. Now looking my 38th birthday square in the face having something that we both can enjoy is more important. In 8 yrs she never even once...

    First pics of my 08 GT/CS.

    Love the agent mirror, but unfortunately the wife needs as much mirror as possible to see, the vert has significant blind spots so I compromised. :)

    First pics of my 08 GT/CS.

    Thanks guys...appreciate the kind words. Covers are from a shop here in canada, but I believe they're avaliable most everywhere in the USA. They were a bit pricey, but the quality of the parts makes the purchase worth while IMO. As for the tuner and CAI...I appreciate the heads up and have...

    First pics of my 08 GT/CS.

    Coming over from Foxbody mustang land! Picked up this 08 CS vert (auto) last month and I have to say this is by far my favorite of all cars to date....the s197 is a whole new animal. She was dealer stock and had just a tick over 10,000 miles on her. Won't be seeing much for mods, I'm a little...

    Barely tech...question regarding foglights on GT/CS

    I've been considering the chrome or satin finish bezels that 3m tape over the foglights, my question is are the GT/CS fogs any different dimensionally than std. GT foglights? Anyone own the bezels? any issues or tips?

    Sad day...DMAN302=Sold :(

    My pop is pretty ill...guess I'm just focused on that right now, not giving the whole ordeal much thought, maybe later. Been a long day but when I look out the window I see the vert staring me in the face and can almost hear it yelling" 60 DEGREES TOMORROW PUT MY TOP DOWN!!!"...I hope to oblige :)

    Long time no speak my friend...thanks for all your written kindness. You should know that most every time I needed assistance for a problem with the car you were one of the first people I would seek out. You've been a great help over the last bunch of years. It doesn't really matter what...

    Yeah Dave I've got the Freestyle we bought last year, great vehicle, comfortable, and chuck full of features...but still a minivan :( The GT is unlike any mustang I've had before...it's got a 1st class ride combined with a bit of attitude connected to the throttle. This thing is light...

    Sad day...DMAN302=Sold :(

    yes it was, but it didn't fit my lifestyle any more...became garage art more than anything. CS is a better fit simply because it's more family friendly...and best of all work flips the bill for it. First mods came wednesday....I'm antibling this time around :)

    Sad day...DMAN302=Sold :(

    Well after a few weeks of discussion guy came down to see the car yesterday. Seemed pretty big eyed by the car...reminded me of when I first bought it, he was very, very pleased I think with it over all. Anyhow she leaves by trailer monday and I'm pretty glad/happy/sad it's all over. Good...
