    Going to drive 2011 5.0 tomorrow.

    I sent this to roush.... We shall see. The below post was made on Stangnet.com. Obviously many are wondering if he is legitimate. I thought you might want to share a comment. Thanks and keep making such outstanding mustangs. Eric...

    Tach Dead

    Boy searching for the words tach or tachometer gives one way way too many options. Sorry if someone has posted this previously, but I couldn't find it. The last few days my tach has been dead. Nothing, nada, zip, zero, goose egg... So I'm wondering if others are experiencing this or I'm...

    can't believe I'm selling my 66 fastback

    Long time posters will remember me pretty well, though I've been more active on 2005 boards for the last couple of years. After letting my 66 fastback "shelby clone" sit for about 2 years I'm finally looking for a new home for her. I just drive my 05 all of the time. She's a very nice...

    2008 Bullitt info?

    well that would be a whole chunk of who gives a $h*t, assuming it's true. With Chevy and Dodge both coming out with 400 hp hot rod 2 doors in the near future Ford better get a big engine ready if it wants to compete.

    What are you paying for a new GT500?

    MSRP about 18 months from now or when they are available. If they turn out to be less fun than I have though, I'm thinking about crossing enemy lines to a vette. I've had 2 69 machs, 2 65 convertibles, 1 fox body convertible and currently have a 66 fastback and an 05 gt.....I'VE NEVER OWNED...

    For All Those Interested in Speeding Ticket PREVENTION, Please Read!

    I train a bunch over 40 cops (I have a few Martial Arts Schools/gyms where we train boxers, kickboxers & cage fighters, cops in Bakersfield are DEAD SERIOUS) and they have all told me that if they see girl crying, she AUTOMATICALLY GETS A TICKET FOR EVERYTHING THEY CAN THROW AT HER! They...

    Another day, Another GREEDY dealership.

    I had it in writing and a receipt for my deposit, pretty much same situation. However. By the time you pay an attorney, you're already 5 - 10k in just to get them to agree to sell it to you at sticker. Bad math. Better off to wait or go buy a new vet

    Can't believe all the crying about the price!

    I don't have a problem with the price. I don't have a problem with dealers marking them up. My problem is that my dealer PROMISED ME accepted my deposit and even wrote up a meaningless little slip of paper which indicated that they would sell me the first one they receive at msrp. They...

    What tires provide the best grip?

    The Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 seems to get remarkable reviews, but I have a question (that only a bonehead might ask). Like most of you on the boards I am very interested in a strong launch to maximize the first 1/4 mile. But beyond that I like a car that handles well in the twisties...

    Who's tune for a JLT intake? Please chime in

    I went with Doug because he is UNIVERSALLY raved about by people who have his tune. I was surprised when he EXCEEDED my expectations, which were pretty lofty. BAMACHIPS is the way to go.

    4.10 gears

    4.10s are great. There is a reason that functionally NOBODY who has done this mod is unhappy with it. I have 4.10s and an auto with the usual suspects of bolt on stuff. Cruising 80 is absolutely no problem.

    Wow 4.10, JLT, Bamachips...

    I think my arms were around 21 inches in that pic. They have been as big as 23. I own a couple of gyms and train fighters, boxers, kickboxers, cage fighters. I also teach kung fu..... We also have a copious amount of iron for the lifting. That said my current goal is to get...

    Which gears for my 05?

    I have an 05 with an automatic transmission. I recently had 4.10s installed along with jlt cai and bamachips tune. It is the freakin combo from heck. Gas milage is only 1 or 2 mpg less. Freeway cruising even at 80+ is perfectly acceptable. I'm a 45 year old white guy with 3...

    Switchblade style key (or even Zephyr key)?

    here is a 9 page thread from brad's site where they pretty much decide it won't work. So I guess I'll have to talk with someone who has a functioning model before I get excited. That said, I'd pay $100 for one!

    jba carb legal longtubes!?!

    I sent an email to jba to ask if there was any chance the summit site had it right. Sadly I was told NO. JBA however insists that their shorty headers provide substantial gains. Here is the response: Eric, There is not such thing as a California smog legal long tube header for your...
