    Age check.

    Heh, one of these threads comes along every few months. I've noticed the same thing in my area. Most S197s are driven by middle aged men. I'm 23, the youngest so far! :D

    2010 Mustang Interior Baring All

    I think it's just the window defroster relocated from the dash to the door. Nothing exciting :(

    HELP!!!

    I've long since given up trying to keep my wheels clean. They're going to get dirty and crapped up no matter what with the amount I drive my car. It's not that noticeable on your wheel.

    2010 Mustang Interior Baring All

    Here's the new official photo of the 2010 Mustang interior: It looks like there's a new steering wheel that does have audio controls on it. The wheel itself looks fatter which will be cool. I don't like how the HVAC vents on either end of the cabin are circular and the ones in the middle are...

    My Former American Racing Torq Thrusts

    What basis is the guy at the shop going off to determine they're made in China? They very well could be simply balanced incorrectly. I always thought American Racing was supposed to be a quality brand and hopefully made in America...

    Ford extended warranty

    I found Ford's website where you can purchase the ESP online here: https://www.genuineservice.com/esp/purchase.do It was telling me 5yr/100k mile plan would be around $1,000. If I talk to dealers can I purchase the same plan from them for cheaper?

    Who here is going to buy the new camaro?

    Same car I'm thinking about getting to compliment the Mustang after it's fully paid off. Gotta love a Corvette motor putting out 415 hp with a 6 speed in a RWD sedan :D If I don't get the GXP it'll probably be an Evo X (AWD would be handy in upstate NY) or maybe something more economical like...

    Are the 08s faster than the 05s?

    I thought all 05+ Mustangs has 300/320? Also the '05s (and I believe '06s) came standard with 3.55 rears whereas '07 on came with 3.31s standard so that may offset any acceleration difference from a stock '05 and a stock '08 if there is indeed more torque in the '08s.

    winter tires?

    I bought a set of Hankook Icebears to put on my stock 17" wheels before last winter and they worked really well. No need for silly AWD vehicles if you put a good set of snow tires on a RWD car.

    Ford extended warranty

    Do you buy the ESP from the service department or the sales department? I'm thinking of getting it for my car since I've brought it in for so many little issues that weren't with the power train. Anyone know if it extends the power train warranty to 5 years/100,000 miles as well?

    Caliper Covers

    Why not just save your money and buy some real big brakes? I personally find them cheesy and know that anyone that has them on is more about style than real substance. Just not my style.

    Welp, i bit the bullet and bought a tuner/CAI

    Let us know what you think once you've got it on. I want to get one but I'm waiting for the warranty to be up.

    400 hp 5.0!!

    That'd be pretty awesome if it turns out to be true. Ford will need something significantly more powerful than the current 4.6 to compete with the Camaro. My secondary car may end up having to be another Mustang GT :)

    So my parents and I traded cars for a few months...

    You guys are too cool to park in the lines, eh? :p

    So my parents and I traded cars for a few months...

    Haha, welcome to the S197 side FrankenStang! These cars are a whole world of difference from the old 'stangs.

    TSB 07-18-02 Clunking Noise in Back, Not Front?

    For a couple months now I've been hearing this clunking/rattle noise when I go over speed bumps or broken pavement. I found TSB 07-18-02 and it sounds like it describes the noise accurately however the sound seems to be coming from the rear and not the front as described in the TSB. Has...

    Feel Stupid Asking

    Yup, no truck release inside the car. Pretty silly. It would make sense on a convertible so someone doesn't steal your **** if you leave the top down but on the coupe it's just dumb.

    Took the Mustang Muddin'... at 70 MPH

    Holy crap! You're one lucky guy to not only have not gotten anyone hurt but also to have your car in such good shape. After a couple close encounters when I first got my Mustang I decided to leave the "fun" driving to when I'm alone in the car and there's absolutely no one else around.

    please help!

    Haha, we're not SOL, that's just the way it is for all disc brakes unless they're made out of another material like carbon ceramic. It doesn't hurt your brakes at all.

    Ford Racing Exhaust

    I had those axle-backs for a few months before the hangars rusted off them :( They sound a little different than the stock, slightly more "bass-y". They're also barely louder than stock unless coupled with an aftermarket x-pipe or h-pipe.
