    New times after putting car on a diet

    I'm gonna assume from your extra efforts on weight-removal that you were running with less than a 1/4 tank of gas? /easiest way to shed weight

    Fog lights on or off ?

    I use them pretty much all the time. I get flashed non-stop but other people's ignorance of the vehicle shouldn't be my loss. I give them at least a good long hold on the brights. I do, however, try to run parks & fogs only whenever the opportunity arises but it looks so freakin cool.

    PROBLEM WITH FINISH ON 2007 GT FACTORY WHEELS

    One of my wheels has what looks like an imperfection about 1" by 1/4" on the outer lip. It looks sorta like when you stretch a clear plastic bag and it goes white. I didn't find it until at least a couple of weeks after taking delivery of the vehicle and I know their rule is when you...

    Newbie with a couple ???'s, and to say Hello

    Welcome aboard! I don't own a convertible but from judging by your requirements I think a new Mustang would treat you nicely. The new GT's are certainly not 'gutless family haulers'! Cheers.

    Exhaust Advice

    Awesome, very helpful. I knew it wouldn't take much to get these things sounding the way you want. Now for one more question, which of the 2 systems on the FRPP are you referring to? One is a muffler-only setup with 4" tips while the other is labeled the "05-08 GT exhaust kit" with 3.5"...

    Exhaust Advice

    It seems Mikey and I are looking for the same thing, slightly louder than stock... not obnoxious. I got the rolled tips with the GT App package as well but they still seem small in diameter compared to many of the S197's I've seen. Obviously they are aftermarket, but does anybody have...

    The Truth About Taped-On Spoilers?

    It always seems sketchy to me as well for a SPOILER or anything with constant force or of significant weight. I used simple double-sided 3M for my 24V DOHC badges I put on my SHO and doubted them at first. After 4 or 5 years of outdoor exposure (no garage) they still seem rock solid. So...

    Top Speed with Tunes

    He's right though, the uneducated only ask one question "duhhhhdarhhhhhh how FAST does it go?" which could mean many things but the best way to appease them and move on is give them a speed, not a 0-60 (this means nothing to them), or a 1/4 mile (likewise). it was easy for me back in...

    Manual transmission rattle when cold

    my shifter squeaks / rattles in 1st, 3rd, and 5th gear all the time. it is a plasticky sounding squeak and annoys the hell out of me. of course the dealership "could not reproduce" the sound so I'm just dealing with it for now. more like they heard it and knew it was the result of shoddy...

    the hell if I'm gonna change a single thing on my car because a bunch of morons think my high beams are on. happened last night, guy kept flashing me so I flicked 'em on and flicked him off arm outstretched. d-bags...

    Dad getting a 2008 Mustang GT on October...what mods should I make?

    Whether you realize it or not, this is a blessing in disguise. Because you won't need a car (wait till you realize how awesome this is... walking to bars... stumbling home from bars... stumbling home with chicks, no DUIs etc...) Once you DO graduate, you'll get a job and have saved any money...

    Who gets flashed when FOG LIGHTS are on?

    I get flashed non-stop. The 4 light = high beam theory is absurd though. By law, when your highs are on your car automatically shuts off other lights. If people knew this they wouldn't be so flash happy. Oh well.

    22MPG?

    I have the feeling that people (who talk 25+mpg) are reporting what their gauge cluster tells them. I hope you guys are actually calculating when you fill up, the cluster has been off for me (and usually high) by 2-3mpg every time.

    07 5spd GT Getting 15mpg

    34, I'm going to have to question you on that one. Everybody here is calculating it themselves right? I surely hope you're not going by what the dash tells you... as close as it may come sometimes it's never right on the mark.

    Obligatory New Member thread #42918

    What's up guys, I started browsing these forums a few weeks ago when I picked up my '07 GT and I finally have a free minute to actually post and see what's up. I picked up this baby about 3 weeks ago brand new while simultaneously starting my new job as a recent graduate. Just wanted to say...
