    Whining Sound Like a SC... But I Don't have One...

    Have you tried to isolate where the "whine" is coming from? There's this girl who has a GT clone vert in my neighborhood back home and taht damn car whines crazy loud everytime she drives by the house, so it's either a S/C'd V6 (highly unlikely) or has a similar problem. I've never had any...

    06 SVT Mustang Cobra Spotted !!

    Actually, the "I'm with stupid" sign means you agree with the poster that you quoted or the poster above your post.

    How many miles per tank do you get?

    My numbers are the same as yours, except I use 87 octane. I get 12 mpg with nothing but town driving. I get around 18 mpg with a combination The best I've seen is 22 mpg, and all this is with the stock gears. I'm afraid to push it over 250 miles on a tank, but I've hit the "plateau"...

    Which Subframe connector?????

    Remember, 9 times out of 10 you get what you pay for. I've never heard of this "CGS" or whatever, and they might be okay, but I would go with a more trusted product, especially with the expense of getting them installed.

    06 SVT Mustang Cobra Spotted !!

    The pic was taken when the car was at speed, and it appears they didn't use the fastest of film, so it might just be a natural distortion. I don't notice the color change you're talking about. If it's about the placement of the leopard camouflage, that's pretty much how Ford did all the GT and...

    06 SVT Mustang Cobra Spotted !!

    Looks real to me. I doubt that's the new Cobra however. What it *might* be, and this is just speculation, is a mule that's being used to test the powerplant of a Cobra, BOSS, or other limited run Mustang. It might only have that cowl because it needs it to fit the motor underneath. But...

    Mods that can improve gas mileage?

    Does this mean if my stock intake cracks, Ford will give me a new and better one to replace it? If so....*picks up sledgehammer* :D

    Will a 1996 Mustang steering wheel fit a 1997?

    Yea, no ****, but it would be my luck if I bought a wheel for a 94-96, which is what the auction said, and then Ford decided it would be a bright idea to change a relay for the cruise control or something.

    Will a 1996 Mustang steering wheel fit a 1997?

    I know it's probably a dumb question, but there won't be any wiring issues when installing a 1996 Mustang steering wheel onto my 1997 right? Cruise buttons look exactly the same, so I don't foresee any problems, but I just want to make sure with you guys! Thanks!

    Can I get my steering wheel recovered?

    Thanks for the reply - do you happen to have any pics, before and after or just after of how it worked on your car? That def. sounds like the best option because I don't want a miscolored steering wheel, although it wouldn't look that bad, but I'm NEVER going to pay $400.

    Can I get my steering wheel recovered?

    Hey guys, My steering wheel is showing signs of age now, starting to look crappier day by day as the leather is getting worn, so I was wondering if there is any place out there that can just recover it? I'd think that would be the cheapest option for me. Option two would be to get a FR500...

    I'm sooo pissed at Saleen right now!

    You really should cancel that order, I paid them in full for my S7 and then they told me they lost the check, and when I called :bs: they said the car was in the mail. I was like WTF? Don't mail my car, and they were like, yo we did. Stupid Saleen, trying to crate up and mail my $500000...

    I'm sooo pissed at Saleen right now!

    Add another :notnice: to the folks at Saleen. My Dad got me a S281 wing for Christmas and ordered it at the beginning of December, and let's say it wasn't sitting under the tree for me. When my Dad placed the order they said it would arrive in two weeks. When he never got a tracking...

    Real World Tires for GT

    I have a set of Dunlop SP5000 245/45/ZR17s. They're pretty good, nice grip, very stiff sidewall, and mileage is ok. Around $130 per tire if you shop.

    Subframes on a vert?

    where did you guys go to get them installed? also, how much installation set you back. This is one mod I've wanted to do for some time, but have never gotten around to it...

    My friend says his new 4 banger is gonna waste my Cobra...?

    Those cars aren't built for straight-line speed, they also aren't built for daily driving purposes. The people that Lotus is targeting are enthusiasts that will probably race the car at AutoX, SCCA, NASA, etc events. If someone straight-line races an Elise they're an idiot...from what I've...
