    05 GTs walked by Used Non-Modded Z28s

    Gosh, I heard how fast the 05 Mustang was, but then when I asked the dealer why I should buy a Mustang that can't even beat my modded 1987 Yugo in the 1/4 mile he didn't have an answer... cuz my Yugo is sick... 400 rwhp, all black, tinted windows, low down, sweet tires, fancy wing... (that's...

    Gap between tracks with Shaker B unit

    the only known fixes are to buy an aftermarket stereo, or don't listen to CD's.

    Chevy SSR or Mustang GT Vert

    ...have you driven an SSR yet? I had the opportunity to drive one on the track. It feels powerful, but it feels REALLY heavy. (Doesn't it weigh like 5000 pounds?) Not to mention it feels really small inside. I tried to adjust the drivers seat and I couldn't reach the controls without...

    Possible Solution To Shaker Skipping

    ...never mind. After all that explaination, it skipped again on the way home... guess I'll have to wait for version C, or D, or maybe Z... hopefully by then they'll have it right!

    Possible Solution To Shaker Skipping

    (other than replacing the head unit) I noticed that my Shaker 1000 skips on my burnt CDs and once in a while on my store bought CDs, but I think I see a pattern. When I'm driving along listening to CD in slot 1, then switch to the burnt CD in slot 2 it doesn't skip. Then, if I park the car...

    Galpin Ford

    I got mine there in April. The stick shift GT's were getting sold minutes after hitting the lot. The salesman I worked with knew a GT was on it's way and he actually drove out to the rail yard in Riverside to pick it up, drive it back, and make sure I was the first one to have a shot at buying...

    New Mustang will finally have some competition...

    it's based on the same platform as the Charger, so it will probably be just as ugly and just as heavy... doesn't sound like competition yet.

    Engine braking (lack of)

    The problem is that it doesn't seem to close the throttle... On an old carb engine the gas pedal is connected directly to the carb by a cable or a rod. You let off the gas, the carb closes, and the gas/air flow is restricted. However, it feels like the computer is keeping the throttle open...

    Shaker 1000 worth it or not?

    I didn't want it, but I found the exact car I wanted except it had the shaker 1000... so I've got it. If you are 18 and like heavy bass all the time it's ok. Not worth the $1200 price tag. I'm well past the need for heavy bass (and I'm not a fan of rap music) and would prefer just to have a...

    Continued Shaker 500 "B" unit problems >

    ...mine came with version B of the shaker 1000. So far it plays store bought cds just fine, but I do get the occasional skipping with burnt cds... I sold my GM cars knowing I was buying a Ford (a brand new design too)... I'll just wait to see if they find a fix for it... but I'm not holding...

    Engine braking (lack of)

    I've posted similar responses before, but I think it's because the computer keeps the throttle open even after you let off the gas. Ever notice that between shifts the engine doesn't rev down right away? Try reving a 66 Mustang and an 05 Mustang... if you let off the gas at the same time and...

    2 05's avail in so cal.

    I've already got mine, but I still glance at the lots when I drive by... The GT are not abundant, but I still see them. (I'm in the L.A. area) The dealer in Long Beach on Cherry (near 36th) had 2 GT verts and 1 GT coupe last time I drove by... I don't know what they are asking though...

    2005 Eleanor

    I guess it all depends on what you like... Overall, the Thalondesign looks better, but I don't like those stick on door pieces... Also, I don't want a full body kit, but I really like the front end on both. If I just want the front bumper, it looks like I can use the blowbyracing bumper as...

    RX-8 VS 2005 GT What do you think?

    Keep in mind the Wanker rotory engine doesn't need to be large by design. Sure a 1.3 litre engine is small in terms of standard piston type engines... I wonder what kind of power you'd get out of a 4.6 litre rotary!?!? However, the wanker also gets crap gas mileage and pollutes heavily. Don't...

    Retro Styling or is it just American Styling?

    I don't think calling the 05 Mustang retro is exactly correct. I think American is more like it... follow me for a minute. If you look back at the history of American designed cars, the 05 Mustang is more like a continuation of the Mustang than a Retro design. At some point in the 70's...

    Iup

    Bigcat... I don't think the Oil and Batt gauges are idiot lights. After my last trip to the dealer the mechanic didn't tighten the wire from my alt to my battery. That night the alt stopped charging the battery and I got a warning message to check charging system. All the way home I watched...

    A deal gone bad!!

    sounds like bait-and-switch to me. The $995 whatever fee is basically a $1000 car wash. And the $500 is what is known as a "the Mustang is so hot right now that you'll pay it or not get the car" fee. I'd talk to the owner and let them know what happened, and that you are thinking of reporting...

    2005 Mustang GT Stolen from Ford Dealership

    ...fine... if there is no VISUAL proof of damage. Then give the dealer the option of either giving the customer what he is asking for... or... pull the trans to check the clutch for excessive wear/damage, pull and check the flywheel, pull and disassemble the trans to check for damage, pull the...

    A/C clicking?

    the noise isn't coming from a fan going on and off. If you pop the hood you can see one of the pulleys click tighter, then click looser, then click tighter, then click looser, then click tighter, then click looser... see how annoying that is? Maybe I need louder speakers (even though I've...

    2005 Mustang GT Stolen from Ford Dealership

    look for additional damage around the car. I had a car stolen, and when I got it back I found that they beat the hell out of it. I jacked the car up and everything on the bottom was scratched... Look under the car for damage, including under the front bumper for scratches from taking a...
