    What comes next month after employee pricing?

    I want Ford to do well but for me to pick up a new 2009 GT Premium Coupe I'll probably need a $5k rebate. I doubt that will happen but my year end bonus wasn't what I expected so without some big help from Ford, I'll have to wait until summer when I'll have some cash saved up. I guess we'll...

    LS or HEMI motor in an 05+...any conversion parts out there???

    I am reminded of the movie Underworld . . . The head vampire refers to the story of a human bitten once by bat and once by wolf. "It is a ridiculous legend. Such a creature would be an abomination!" Pick one or the other, no need to cross bloodlines. Greg

    Bullitt Suspension for a 2009 GT

    Supposedly the Bullitt doesn't sit much lower than a stock GT which leads me to believe that none of the suspension kits Ford sells is identical to what the Bullitt is running. Every review of the Bullitt I have read emphasizes how well the car handles as a result of the suspension. Is there a...

    Point taken. My post was not meant to be as inflamatory as it came across. I fear the day the only cars on the road will be two cylinder smart cars that will automatically select whichever gear allows for maximum fuel economy, no wheel spin, zero to 30 times no quicker than six seconds, never...

    2010 Stang 80 Pics

    I loved the Mach460 in my Mach 1 and had hoped the Shaker 500 would be at least as good. Anyone compare the two? Greg

    Does Ford think we're Stupid? 315 horse? what the hell!

    Let's also remember Ford is still able to sell an eight cylinder car. 315hp may not sound like much but the current mustangs are running zero to sixty in about 5.2 seconds, get 25+mpg, run on regular unleaded, put out next to zero emissions, etc. Back in the mid 80's the turbocharged SVO ran...

    Limited slip recommendations

    If that is all it is I can just upgrade to a 3.55 at a later date. Anyone know if the numerical ratio is separate from the limited slip unit? Meaning would I only have to buy the different gear set or buy a new limited slip unit as well? Greg

    Limited slip recommendations

    Brian, If I go to the Ford website and build a new 2009 Mustang, there is an exterior option called a 3.55 limited slip axle ratio for $252. So if the car has some sort of limited or locking differential standard, how is this different and is it needed? I still hope to get a 2008 or 2009 in...

    Does Ford think we're Stupid? 315 horse? what the hell!

    I am sure you are aware that the EPA changed the way mileage is calculated about two years ago. I think showroom stock GT's driven at 65 mph are getting about 25 on the highway. Greg

    Getting the auto transmission is like getting the V6. American cars should all be rear wheel drive, have two doors, be powered by an 8 cylinder engine and motivated by a manual transmission. Greg

    Best NoTune CAI

    Aren't they referencing 198 hp and 201 torque. Those sound like V6 numbers to me?? Greg

    Smelly (rotten-egg) Exhaust

    I think Grabber hit it. Your Cats should be covered for ten years as I believe federal law mandates that automakers warranty the emissions equipment for that time period. Greg

    HDR Images: Learn and share your work...

    Here is my 1st attempt. I agree that dark moody skies can really make the most of HDR. The tone mapping controls are going to take some time to figure out. Greg

    What rear wheel hp stock?

    That is pretty close to what I want without getting too pricey . . . Does your tune require premium fuel? Greg

    3V Spark plug change hell

    I am thinking about a 2009 and was wondering if this spark plug problem is the same issue Ford had with 2000-2001 F150's with the 5.4 liter 3 valve engine. I think it is different as people were stripping the heads out when removing plugs. Supposedly the the heads only had three threads and...

    What rear wheel hp stock?

    I had a 2004 Mach 1 that I had to sell after a year for financial reasons. I should be able to pick up a new 2009 in the next month or so and I can't wait to have a mustang again. Anyone know about what rear wheel hp these cars are putting out stock? Most Mach's were good for about 270 or so...
