    2005 Mach 1

    I ordered the same tail panel from Silverhorse Racing... Nice folks and I hope the product comes soon as we are in an autoshow with this car at the end of the month.. Oh yes - one more addition I will be making to my car (I hope they work) is a set of chrome 17x9 SVT Mach-I wheels that...

    what weight oil? 06 Mustang GT

    I haven't found a full synthetic 5w20 yet so I am running Valvoline 5w20 dino oil for now. I just wish that Ford would get their act together and either make it a 6qt or 7qt capacity rather than a 6 liter capacity. After all - when was the last time you saw oil sold by the liter in the USA?

    Stock rear gear?

    It sounds like someone had already swapped rear-ends in your car before you ever got it... According to Ford - there is no option in rear end gearing for eithet the 05 or 06 models. With the automatic you get 3.31. With the 5 speed, you get 3.55. There are no options from the factory...

    275/40R18 on the front?

    Hmmm... Something to think about. When you mentioned that the 275/40 was 1.5" shorter than the 235/55 - that made me realize that the taller 235 tire had a heckuva time filling the rear wheel wells the way it is without lowering the car (something I really don't want to do).. I need to come...

    275/40R18 on the front?

    I'm taking all this in to see how relevent the data would be to a wheel combination I would like to use. I've got a set of chrome 17x9 SVT Mach-I wheels that I have been using on my Cobra and thinking about trying them on the Mustang. They are a 26mm offset (SN95) and have 275-40's on them...

    Overhaulin

    Courtney did not quit - her Agent wanted too much money for her appearance on the show so her contract was not renewed. The last official act she did on behalf of Overhaulin' was an appearance at the World of Wheels autoshow in Minneapolis in March. Her father (Jerry Hansen) is an old...

    did you guys know....

    It's called "Drive by wire" and while it's new to the Mustang, it's on a lot of vehicles these days. The Corvette C5 and C6 have been for some time. There are very few problems with DBW - The only real issue I have with it is that there is a lag in throttle response - particularly when letting...

    what should i do?

    The car in stock form already handles better than most people will ever push it. With a competition alignment it will handle even better. Handling is out. Wheels and Tires - the stock Bullet mags that come on the car were, by far, the most chosen wheel for the Mustang in surveys as well as...

    Did you buy your 05 Stang because of it's speed or style?

    Ditto here.. Only difference is I kept my big HP Chevy... :D Simply got tired of GM jerkin' around and not taking the right step at the right time. :notnice: The 70 Boss 302 `Stang was one of my all time favorite cars. Buying one and using it as a daily driver was out of the...
