    Roush Spoiler

    I guess the spoiler is a matter of taste. I have a Roush wing on my otherwise stock 05 GT and I think it looks great. It's definitely better than the stock wing that looks like a reject from a 1989 Probe. I had mine installed by the dealer before I picked up the car in April 2005. They said...

    If you were a car thief.....

    Sorry guys... I can't think of a single car that is worth getting my bung-hole stretched out over... I'd choose no jail time and just enjoy my modest collection of rides...

    Regular Maintenance

    Just a couple questions about regular maintenance. (I'd check my owners manual, but it was stolen along with my CDs and spare change) I'm at the 40,000 mark on my 05 GT. At what point should I flush the coolant system? When should I re-pack my wheel bearings? (or are they sealed?) It's...

    13.352 @ 103.09 is a new Stock '06!!

    was it really bone stock... like even the stock rubber? A nice set of drag radials will help get the time into the mid-low 13's and the car could still be called "bone-stock"... or could it? Also, depends on track and weather conditions... my local track is LACR and it's at 3000' above sea...

    Used GT prices are ridiculous....

    I guess "overpriced" is a matter of opinion. After all, I think Lamborghini's are ridiculously overpriced. However, I don't go to Lambo boards complaining about it... You have to compare the price of what you are getting to what other companies offer... a comparible vehicle might be the 350Z...

    My "NEW" Stang Complete! What do you think!?

    I couldn't make it through 3 pages of flames, I gave up after the 1st page, so I don't know where this thread ended, but the car looks sick. Keep the Shelby emblems. I don't know why everyone get's all offended when people make clones. Go to any car show and count the number of fiberglass A/C...

    Used GT prices are ridiculous....

    According to the previous posts in this thread, these cars haven't been depreciating very much... And... Sure, Ford should roll back the 2007 prices to match the 2000 prices... and when the new Camaro comes out, I'm expecting to pay the same prices as when they came out in 1967... you...

    brake fluid ate the paint off!!!!

    I've got the same problem... the paint under my master cylinder is completely gone. I'm going in soon for my 30K service, so I plan on addressing the issue with them at that point.

    Roush spoiler install?

    just bite the bullet and drill the holes. I did and I couldn't be happier, but I don't have any future plans on removing it... One of the reasons I like this kit vs the others, is that it DOES bolt on. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I don't like the idea of taping things to my car.

    what a joke...

    This is what makes America so great... it's called supply and demand. It's a luxury item in high demand and limited supply. If I was a dealer and was only allocated 1-3 units, I'd sell them for as much as I could too...

    Baffled - Newest Snake Oil

    most people post feed back before testing the product... read the feed back responses. They all say things like, "item as described" or "fast shipping" or here's a direct quote: "got item fast.... hope it works.... thanks A+" I bet most of the people would post something different after 2...

    Shaker 500 issues!!

    Yes, I'm on my 3rd shaker head unit... the first one skipped with ANY cds, the 2nd jammed up with 6 BRAND NEW store bought cds (took over 2 weeks to get the cds back from ford). So far this 3rd one is decent. It only skips on burned cds. The other annoying thing is that it puts breaks between...

    if you've rented a Hertz Mustang...

    Hey REDLTING, I'm just curious if the Hertz cars have the button to disable the TCS... I figured they'd disconnect that feature so that you couldn't roast through the tires...

    my experience at galpin ford

    I got my 05 Mustang from Galpin back in Apirl 05, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service I received there. I didn't order mine, so I can't speak on behalf of that, but maybe you got a bum sales person. The guy I got actually went out of his way to personally pick up my car from the...

    What the heck is that sound?

    It's one of your gauges... next time you turn the car off, watch the gauges closely. The noise goes away when the needles go all the way to the left.

    GT500 1/4 times?

    My mistake about the weight... looks like the Nova came in just under 3000 lbs... so the GT500 is somewhere around 900 lbs heavier. I'd like to see the actual times, on a track, and also with a tuner or a little more boost. Do you think they'll still keep the pre-programmed throttle lag or...

    GT500 1/4 times?

    So from what I gather, the 1/4 mile time for the GT500 is 12.7 @ 116... Seems to me that 500 hp should get you closer (or into the 11's). Is it because of traction problems? Or are the numbers underestimated on purpose? I'm only curious because my last car was a 65 Nova with approx 450 hp...

    Anyone have the Shaker 1000 in their GT??

    I'm on my 3rd B version and it started to jam up last week. Version A was bad, and version B is not as bad (but not good). Seems to be hit or miss.
