    New to The Stang!!!

    2) Since its RWD....is it bad in the snow? Decent? Or possibly good? I have done just fine this winter in my 5-speed, I put a set of Blizzaks snow tires on it and it has all the traction I need and I have yet to use any extra wieght. I ran it through a parking lot with six inches of snow...

    Anyone driven their GT in the snow yet?

    Ok I admit it I was wrong, I dug into the owners manual and found this about second gear in the auto, 2 (Second) This position allows for second gear only. • Provides engine braking. • Use to start-up on slippery roads. • To return to D (Drive) without Overdrive or 3 (Third), move the...

    Anyone driven their GT in the snow yet?

    I might be wrong, but if you put the selector in 2, won't it still start in 1st gear and only shift up to second and stay there?

    Anyone break their gangster trunk release?

    I had my bowling bag in the truck, and my trunk did open. I had to happen twice for me to figure it out. I got pissed and stuff the handle into the truck framing.

    Trouble starting in cold weather.

    Well I started mine just fine today, but when I was backing out of my space in the snow, I was trying not to spend the tires to much and I killed it (its a 5-speed). Now the problem was on the re-start, it took three tries and on the third try it had to crank it almost 45 seconds to start, which...

    I have a sample model printed for z-corp that is a fully functioning set of ball bearings. Now to convince the boss we need a $30,000 for the smallest z-corp printer. Lets see a building model of that detail made by an intern making $10 and hour times how many hours it would take him to produce...

    Kill Stories

    I took down a v-6 camaro on my way back from the dentist last month, the funniest part was the guy had to open the door to tell me he thought I had a nice car, I guess his window motor was broken. Even more funny is the fact that I traded a v-6 camaro for my new mustang.

    You guys wouldn't happen to have had any experience with rapid prototyping would you? I have an architectural model on my desk that a guy here in town made for me, its a gypusm powder base, he used my 3-D autocad model to print it. Lets just say I want a 3d printer now!

    1966 wiring harness

    I have the painless harness and it seems to work just fine for me and this is the first car I have ever wired. And as far as looking like factory, well it all depends on how you cover the wires, I wrapped mine in electrical tape and it seems to look just as good as the 39 year old harness I tore...

    Fusion POWER!

    Well the thing I can't understand is why a manual transmission is not offered. Underneath the fusion is supposed to be a mazda 6, and well yes the mazda 6 is available with the manual tranny, so I would seem real easy to drop it in the ford.

    Opinions on 65-66 painless harness

    Well I am in the middle of an install right now. I have the painless kit for my 66, 20120 or something like that. I do have to say it sometimes is not painless, I am not sure if this is the kit or my inherent lake of experience on wiring a car. The 66 is my first old mustang and my first...

    Stock 5.0L headers

    Will stock 5.0L Headers fit on an 1986 302 in a 1966 body. I have little money and I can get these rather cheaply. Would it be better just to get a set of JBA Shortys?

    DC says there is no market for two door cars

    I guess we will never see the return of the challenger, but on the other hand if that stratus was retro styled like the old challenger and offered rear drive and a hemi, you might just sell quite a few. There are still lots of people who bleed mopar. I had one of those stratus R/T coupes at...

    Why I'm going with a V-6

    The problem is most grocery getters have 240 plus hp on average. I think the v-6 needs another 50Hp at least, that darn SRT-4 is in the same price range as the V-6 mustang and it has more power and less weight. We should all be thankfull that the 2.3L four cylinder is no longer offered in the...
