    New Winter Rubber

    These are the exact same wheels as the OEM Brembo package, except gloss black instead of the pewter finish, and FR center cap instead of the running horse. OEM wheel = $420.00 each :eek: Ford Racing wheel = $200.00 each. The extra $220 each is FoMoCo sticking it to you.

    Would You Let The Dealer..........

    So I'm guessing that the dealer putting 100 miles on your gar to diagnose it would really annoy you? --> http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/826074-strange-fuel-guage-issue.html

    Strange Fuel Guage Issue

    Typical dealer BS <long rant> Had an appointment today to have the fuel issue repaired, so yesterday I ran the fuel down to the point where the gauge dropped. Knowing that there was still 6-7 gallons of fuel in the tank, I figured I'd drive the 15 miles home with the gauge on E so the...

    Skip shift almost killed me this week.

    So I pull out into traffic slow because it was raining and just as I clutch to shift a truck I didn't see comes over the hill like man-o-war. Unfortunately, skip shift had kicked in. I tried for second, but no dice. So there I was, rolling dead in the water:eek:, the best I could do was jam...

    Get To Know Your Fellow New 5.0 Owners

    Mark from NH. '11 GT, Brembo package, 3.73 rear, Kona blue. Picked up 10/24/10 First Mustang. Wasn't really planning on one, I was looking for a 5 or so year old M3. I stopped at a dealer to try the GT for the hell of it and was impressed. I decided that for the same money, I would rather...

    Strange Fuel Guage Issue

    TSB Googled up the TSB if anyone is interested. The symptom for me was exactly as described. Sorry if this has been covered before, but I couldn't find reference to it on this forum. Nothing better than having to drop your brand new car off for service. :( Not really a big deal in the...

    Confused over stability control

    Update Bought a 2011 off the lot :D ; 2011 GT base package, Brembos, 3.73 rear, Kona Blue. Sport mode is there. Can even activate while moving as long as you touch the brake enough to activate the tail lights.

    Confused over stability control

    Thanks everyone, Just wanted to be sure I do not need to order the premium package. I did look in an owners manual at the dealer. Under sport mode (pressing the button twice) it says "if equipped" but the dealer can't find any information as to what package it is or is not included with...

    Confused over stability control

    Hi everyone, first post here, :) sorry it's a bit long. Planning on ordering a 2011 GT and I'm stuck on one point: Is the sport mode for the stability system only available with the premium package? Is full disable available in the base trim ? I've done a ton of searches and have...
