    Best swaybar setup for GT?

    It looks like the aftermarket front bars are usually 35mm, and stock is 34mm. There's not that much of a difference from what I can see? The rears like the Eibach appear to be 22mm, like the Shelby GT OEM bar. The BMR is also 7/8" (22mm). The only exceptions are the Hellwig 1" rear bar and the...

    Best swaybar setup for GT?

    What are some of the best swaybars for the 05-09 GT, in terms of quality/reliability/durability? How much of an effect on ride quality and body roll would I experience if I upgraded just the sway bars (keeping stock springs, dampeners, tires, etc...)? It looks like the front sway bars are all...

    High beam stalk issue - FTP

    Does anyone here know of a way to fix the multifunction stalk so that when you pull the stalk towards you all the way, it doesn't just lock into the high beam mode? I noticed that if I have to flash the high beams, I accidentally hit it so that it doesn't flash, but instead just locks to the...

    Bought a used GT500 & Need Advice

    At what RPM do you normally shift on the street? The Cobalt SS/TC owners found that shifting at low RPMs (2000 or so) will glaze the stock heavy-duty clutch. If they shift at 3000-4000 RPM, the clutch no longer slips. But GT500 owners ought to be revving the heck out of their motors, so this...

    New Camaro may be short lived!

    The local dealers wanted $23k + tax/title for the 2008 MS3 just a few weeks ago (in 2009). The Mazda3 is a C1 car, just like the 2004-up International Focus / Volvo C30, etc... The Mazdaspeed3 is a Mazda3 wagon with some mods and extra reinforcements in the roof/chassis (hence no moonroof...

    New Camaro may be short lived!

    The Mazdaspeed3 is also a C1 car and it has a 263 hp turbocharged I4. IMHO the MS3 is much better than the C30. I would love to try out the new 300hp Focus RS though.

    WATs the true STOCK 1/4 ET??

    I would recommend upgrading to a 370Z. The Synchro-Rev gearbox is pretty darn neat and the V6 makes more power than the V8 in the Mustang GT (330+). For the money, I'd look at a 370Z or G37 Coupe versus the Mustang GT Premium. They're all nearly $40,000 cars once you load up the Mustang GT with...

    New Camaro may be short lived!

    Actually it goes deeper than that: CD3: Mazda6, Fusion, Edge, Milan, MKZ, MKX, Mazda CX-9, D3: 500, Montego, Taurus, Sable (now discontinued), MKS, MKT, Flex, soon: Explorer, Volvo XC90 I have nothing against shared platforms, but they should at least make a really good base platform and use...

    WATs the true STOCK 1/4 ET??

    The G37 Coupe and 370Z are very nice cars. Comparing them to the Mustang is like comparing a BMW 5 series to a Pontiac G8. I like the Mustang because it is affordable performance, but the 2010 Mustangs are like $2000 more than the 2005-2009 Mustangs.

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    If you thought the stock S197 shifter was bad, try a Mazdaspeed3 or Cobalt SS. Those shifters feel flimsy like toys and are very rubbery. I thought I was going to snap it off and I frequently shifted into 3rd instead of 1st because the shifter was too vague. When I went home to drive my GT, the...

    08 HID's in a 07 mustang

    No, it is not. SteedaGus said their HIDs are the OEM lights - made by Valeo-Sylvania, the supplier of the OEM HIDs. He also includes the adapter harnesses and everything. $1000 is still a lot of money.

    Ford wanted to put the 6.2 into the S197 or next-gen GT500, but they didn't do it. The 5.0 DOHC Coyote will be available instead.

    Anyone have the Ford part# for the new designed door wheather stripping?

    Is there a how-to on how to swap out the stock channel pieces for the 08 w/ the moleskin from the factory? I don't have tinted windows but I DID notice the stock channels were scratching the stock solar tint glass. I'd like to put an end to that ASAP since it would only cost less than $50 to do...
