    Went for a ride in a '11 today

    +1 The new 5.0 dropped into a '05 to '09 body would be an amazing combination! Incredible style and power. Hopefully Ford will do something about the exterior design in a couple years.

    High beams stuck on?

    Hmm, after a few weeks the high beams are starting to act up again. They seem more prone to get stuck on if it's colder out which is usually at night. I tried removing the switch from the dashboard again, unplugging the plugs from the back and then back in again. However it doesn't seem to have...

    Thoughts on Supercharging a 60,000 mile GT

    60,000 miles really isn't that high nowadays. Most engines are pretty reliable and I wouldn't be surprised to get 200,000+ miles out of a S197 GT.

    question on winter driving

    I've driven my GT through 3 winters here in upstate NY, the first on the stock all-seasons even! They're pretty good in the snow especially with snow tires. The only annoying thing is some snow got on the seat mounts near the floor and they're starting to rust a bit. I finally got a second car...

    High beams stuck on?

    I went to play around with the Mustang some more to see if I could figure out if it is the switch causing the high beam problem. I removed the switch from the console (comes out very easily, just put a putty knife or blade beneath the bottom part and pry out). Unplugged the two plugs in the back...

    High beams stuck on?

    That's what I would think too but it seems to be moving properly and it's not making any strange noises. :shrug: How does that switch affect the high beams?

    High beams stuck on?

    So I bought a new relay for the high beams and replaced the old one. The high beams still stay on despite the car being off. Needless to say it wasn't the relay then. I think it must be the switch then since it wasn't the relay. The high beam indicator on the dash stays on even when the car is...

    High beams stuck on?

    I just got back from a drive in the Mustang a little while ago and noticed that my high beams are now stuck on, even if the car is shut off. I tried switching the positions of the headlight switch and pulling the high beam/low beam stalk but it has no effect, the high beams still stay on. So for...

    curbed my freaken wheel!

    I just curbed my wheel this morning on my way to work. Mine goes about 1/3 around the edge of my stock 17"s though and looks worse but still not noticeable to most people I'm sure. I can't decide if I should replace it with a new one or just wait until next spring and get all new 18"s and tires...

    Are we cylinder snobs?

    This is definitely the biggest reason why I look down upon the V6 Mustang. It's the same V6 the Ranger has used since like '88 or something isn't it? If the base model Mustang had a more modern and potent V6 or even turbo 4 (return of the SVO?) then I would have no problem with it. As far as...

    My body kit, keep or remove?

    Remove! Way too busy for the rest of the car, just looks like it belongs on a riced out Civic, not a S197 Mustang.

    Grabber Orange Mustang finally gone....

    Can't say I'd prefer it over a Mustang but it's a pretty nice car regardless! That gauge cluster especially is pretty sweet. Is it pretty quick if you get on it? :D

    Detailing products for black trim pieces?

    Does anyone know of any cleaning/detailing products for the black trims pieces on the outside of the car? The trim around my windows especially could use some help.

    2010 SHO drive

    Sounds awesome, an EcoBoost V6 and EcoBoost V8 would work nicely as options in the Mustang :nice:

    Fake??

    Does it look like this Shelby CS6?

    Quarter Window "fade"?

    I've started noticing this problem on my '07 on both sides as well. Ford quality leaves something to be desired on these cars...

    Oh so tempting.

    Almost $25k for a plain 2010 V6 Mustang is NOT worth it. If you wait a year or two you'll be able to get a 2010 or '11 GT for that much. Or you could get an '09 GT for that much (or less) now. Also that Jeep is pretty awesome! I definitely wouldn't trade in that Wrangler for a V6 'Stang.

    Door handle

    I had this problem on my passenger side door a while ago and brought it in to the dealer. They fixed it pretty quickly.

    Clunking suspension sound dealer won't fix...

    Sure sounds like a good candidate for the cause of the sound I've been experiencing. Supposedly buying this heavy duty upper control arm bracket does the trick but I haven't had a chance to do it to my car yet: Heavy Duty Upper Control Arm Bracket, : Metco Motorsports

    Bye Bye Grabber Orange GT.... :(

    Sad to hear you're letting it go! Seems like there's been a few people posting on here lately that they're getting rid of their S197s for various life-related reasons :( Oh well, the Fusion Hybrid should be a sweet car! Just put some racing stripes on it and it'll feel just like a Mustang :D
