    Official 4.0 SOHC MPG Report Thread

    Good tips, fazm83. I haven't used the cruise control much, since the manual advises not to maintain a constant speed for long periods until you've passed 1,000 miles. Almost there, though!

    License Plate Mounting?

    So, all you get are two holes drilled in the plastic bumper? Just removed the dealer frame from my V-6's rear bumper, and noticed that the holes aren't even drilled level -- the right hole is slightly higher than the left hole. Just an eighth of an inch higher, maybe, but I noticed it. Goes...

    Official 4.0 SOHC MPG Report Thread

    Amazing ... how'd you manage that? Only have 800 miles on my V-6 automatic so far, commuting M-F between San Francisco and Mountain View, CA. Last tank was about 23 mpg. Doing 65-80 mph on the highway, but probably one third of the trip is city driving. Does mileage improve as the car...

    Official 4.0 SOHC MPG Report Thread

    Just a thought, but how about some average speeds to go with the MPG? Interested in what MPG we can expect on the highway at various speeds. Be a helpful guide for determining optimum cruising speed for my commute. :D

    Radar: Valentine 1 or Escort Passport 8500 X50

    With all the radar detectors on the road, do cops ever set up unmanned radar stations, just to trip the detectors? That seems like a pretty effective way to slow down traffic ...

    Any ideas for a good vanity plate?

    I wanted RTRO RKT (Retro Rocket), but it was taken. So I went with PONY KEG.

    Aluminum Door Sill?

    Thanks for the info, Stan! I'll set about snagging a pair for my pony. :)

    Aluminum Door Sill?

    I bought my V-6 Mustang without the Upgraded interior, just the Interior Sport Appearance package. But I like those aluminum door sills. Does anybody know if they'll just bolt right in?

    2005 Ford Mustang GT vs. 2005 Pontiac GTO

    Buddy of mine just bought a new Goat, and he loves it. Solid machine. Still looks too much like an econobox for me, though ...

    Why does ford keep letting GM beat us?

    Bascially, a Vette is just a rolling image appliance. They're pretentious. Shrinks should prescribe them instead of Prozac. Or Viagra, heh ... All Chevys don't suck. The postwar pickups, up until 1954, are classics. But Vettes -- no thanks. Mustangs rule.

    what a piece of junk

    Sorry to hear about your adventure. I've had everything strand me on the road, from Austin-Healey to MG to Ford to GM to generic riceburners. My 05 coupe is a daily-driver, too. That's why I sprung for the 100,000-mile extended warranty. :)

    Spoiler: To delete or not to delete, that is the question

    I was all set to buy my 05 without the spoiler. I'd been checking inventories for weeks, looking for a Sonic Blue with the Interior Sport Appearance Package and without the Exterior Sport Appearance Package. No joy. Finally found a Sonic Blue with both packages and all the other options I...

    How does V.8 compare to V.6?

    LOL! Yeah, my bad. :D PS: Your '66 coupe sounds like a sweet ride.

    How does V.8 compare to V.6?

    Wow, what's a Vette guy doing in this thread? Anyway, I bought a 2005 V-6 auto because I commute 80 miles a day, and this car is my daily driver. About 30 years ago, I drove a 1966 2+2 with a 302 and a four-speed. (Back then, of course, I was flipping burgers down the street from my...

    Production of Each Color?

    That makes sense, Blk05Retro! Just checking. :nice: Also wondering if blue is considered an unusual color for Mustangs. I've always seen plenty of black, red, and white ones, but not so many blue. I had a tough time finding a Sonic Blue V-6 with all the options I wanted ...

    Production of Each Color?

    Does anybody know how many 2005 Mustangs have been produced in each color, yet? I'd heard that my color, Sonic Blue, is set to be discontinued for 2006. Just wondered how many of us there are ... :)

    Post Pics of Your Mustang

    It's just a stock V-6 Premium, but here's mine. Built on 5 April 2005, purchased on 4 May 2005. Auto, black leather, exterior and interior upgrade packages, ABS, traction control, active anti-theft, Shaker 500. This is a daily driver, used to commute 80 miles per day (hence the V-6 and...

    My v6 seems sluggish

    C'mon, that's sorta harsh, Phil. For the record, I drove a '66 2+2 back in high school (Signal Flare Red, Pony interior, 302, toploader four-speed). This was during the late 1970s, when I used to prey on unsuspecting disco ducks in their pretty-boy Trans Ams. Drove that car through two...

    MSRP Price Mark Up

    Got my V6 for less than MSRP. Not a whole lot less, mind you, but about a grand.
