    5.9 Oil Change

    Hey Guys, I will be coming up on my 2000 oil change and want to know what you all think about product. Do we put in Mobile 1 or go with Royal Purple??? Most of my driving is semi performance on the street (4000 to 6000 rpm) with an occasional pass thru the mount- ains on the 'road race'...

    what do you think about this layout for my mustang

    Total Muffler Delete???? Going to be pretty noisy...I'm running the Flowmaster American Thunders and get lots of pop and crackle between gears and I think it is borderline for legal on the street. Need to cruise by the cops in 'coast' mode! Also, be aware of that awful DRONE that we all try to...

    Want more bite from my brakes

    Hey, MJT, in my 04 GT I was running the Cragar drilled and slotted front rotors; not too hugely expensive and put in the EBC 'yellow' pads which are track pads but still great on the street. I could feel a very noticeable increase in stopping power with pretty much no fade after several hard...

    X Pipe or H Pipe for 2012 GT

    RE the 'H' pipe from the factory. Thanks for the info! If it did not have one , I would have had one installed trying to quiet down the Flowmasters....I love the sound and the gurgles and pops between gears but I feel that a bored Cop might make it an issue. It's probably just barely...

    2011 Mustang & 2012 Mustang transmission scrutinized

    Hee Hee, why did you do that?? There must be a good reason that MADE you do it!!!! You will still love it; it's just more fun to control your own gears and RPM range!!! Enjoy, David

    ESC TSC Advanced Track Features

    I am under the impression that all the 5.0 cars have this feature along with the traction control. Obviously Traction Control is for wheelspin while ESC helps to control slide (lateral) motion. Be so cautious as the rear ends of these cars is on the light side and they can (and WILL) come...

    ESC TSC Advanced Track Features

    Fat Boss, that makes much more sense than what the owners manual says. I don't think they tell us how to put the 'nannies' back on...thanks for the input. Will give it a go tomorrow! David

    ESC TSC Advanced Track Features

    Hey Guys, went out in the drive and played with getting the different displays for the TCS and ESC. Turning them on and off seems to be bit of a headache. I believe we all should know how to turn the 'Nannies' off when it is safe to play....Anyone have a good understanding about thes...

    2011 Mustang & 2012 Mustang transmission scrutinized

    Only 300 miles on my 12 GT but I feel the tranny is silky as could be! Skip shift has lit up maybe 3 or 4 times but once you cross the 3000 RPM threshold in first, it is never a problem. I had purchased some Royal Purple Synchromax tranny fluid for my 04 GT but totaled the darn car B4 I got it...

    Finally Picked it up!!

    On Monday, I got to go pick up my new Black 2012, 5.0 6 speed manual, Brembos, and 3.55's. I am thrilled with this choice of gears....works great with the low 1st gear in these cars. Had the Flowmasters put on this morning by a local shop and now she sounds like she should! My only concern...

    2011 Mustang Brake Upgrades

    I have the Brembo Package and the rears look stock to me....what do we do to the rears to increase their performance? Add in EBC track pads (yellow) which are sitting on the work bench or the Hawk pads? What are your thoughts?

    Any Concerns about Flowmaster American Thunder

    Just ordered them for my '12 GT. American Muscle told me they will sound like the American Thunder cat back system I had on my 04 GT which to me was the perfect sound. Loud, but not too loud and I had no drone! Make the phone call!!!

    strut tower brace

    Tower Brace Glad to hear it helped! I think my new 2012 comes with the 2 bolt item. Was looking at one that has adjustable joints on either side. Maybe I can get some good results like you got! Thanks, cause I was wondering if it was of any value.
