    Anyone catch this?

    Buy now!!! Buy now!!! Give in to temptation!!! :D Nah, what's the old saying "all good things come to those who wait". Hang in there bud. This is my first Stang and the next will probably be a Cobra. It is a great car and I can't wait for the aftermarket to pick up so I can start blowing...

    Anyone catch this?

    Wasn't meant for you, Mickey21. That was for the thread policeman, the Evil Cubs fan. Don't worry guys. I'll never post anything else that doesn't deal with the 2005 Mustang GT and I will make sure that should anyone else commit this faux pas, I will straighten them out posthaste. I mean...

    See...I didn't put two and two together. You're a cubs fan, from Illinois nonetheless. Now I get you. :D :rlaugh: :rlaugh: :lol: Good luck with that.

    Anyone catch this?

    :lol: Funny. Did you hear about the country called America where freedom of speech not only applies to you but to me also?? If you don't like posts about other cars, quit reading when you see any other manufacturer besides Ford. You guys who keep saying "this is a Mustang forum, quit...

    Magnaflow catback ordered

    In the end, I just ordered it through SpeedSouth. I was a little leery of ordering online and haulin it down there to have it installed. This way, I've got the local shop to go to if something ain't right on it. Cost more, but a little peice of mind. I can't wait to get this installed an...

    Things just keep getting worse for those who have ordered...

    You'd have to believe that Ford wouldn't let this hold up production of such a highly sought after car. I never heard that the guy who patented the dash color system (MIT dude) got an injunction to stop production. Anyone know if he did? You'd think Ford would be at it day and night to settle...

    Motortrend's COTY BS

    I think it is quite reasonable to assume that if they include the V6 model in the article box about the Mustang (bashing it's HP as worse than the Accord), they are using the V6 in the testing criteria as well as the GT. If they were only putting up the GT against the test criteria, what point...

    K&N Filter

    IS that to say they put the K&N in place and came up with a HP/TQ loss?? Or was the dyno with no filter at all. That seems a little strange. I am like you. Need to see the dyno on this guy. I would think it would be a gain, but who knows. I'd rather replace my filter every 15K miles than lose...

    K&N Filter

    :rolleyes: That hunk o metal is the hydrocarbon trap Ford put into the air intake hose. It's a nasty bugger meant to catch unspent fuel coming back from the throttle body. Unhitch your air filter, loosen the ring clamp, pull the hose off and you will see what looks like a bee's honeycomb...

    Magnaflow catback ordered

    Oh - the dyno results on the web were with the catted X pipe? Didn't know that. (Guess that's what the Tru-X part was). When is the X coming out and with my setup, is it an option to put on later? Forgive me for my stupidity, but I don't work on cars. I just drive em fast. :D Thx!

    Magnaflow catback ordered

    I just ordered mine as a Christmas present to my Mustang. (Why can't cars get presents????) Should get installed first part of next week. :banana: I really liked the sound of the Magnaflow, which I thought was deeper/throatier than the stock. Has anyone Dyno'ed their car after installing...

    Anyone catch this?

    Went back and checked. You are correct - almost. This is me typing straight from C&D Jan 05. Fronts are bigger than the rears. FRONT - 255/45R-18 BACK - 225/50R-18. C&D says "to improve handling, the front tires will be larger than the rears." The funny part is that GM does this to...

    300HP? Thats It...Whats wrong with Ford

    I concur, and move to strike. :stick: :D I'll take my Mustang, the extra 9K, get new wheels, tires, exhaust, CAI, well over 40 HP and sill have money for the Seinfeld DVDs. :banana:

    Motortrend's COTY BS

    The 300c is a nice car. But I would argue that no car in recent history has stirred the emotions of people nor caused as many rubber-necking moves as the new GT. :nice:

    Motortrend's COTY BS

    :stick: :fuss: You're an idiot. A troll, at that, looking to stir up trouble. DID YOU READ MY POST? You are falling all over yourself to defend MotorTrend and argue that anyone who says anything negative about who got car of the year or the magazine is a whiny bitch. What a tool. You need...

    Motortrend's COTY BS

    I don't care who won. That means bupkis to me. What bothers me is the way they talked about the V6 and how they brought down the GT because of it. I read the article and it says to me, the GT was a front runner but didn't win because it has a sibling V6, which is underpowered when compared to...

    Anyone catch this?

    The 222 was a typo. Meant 255. But that is the point of the post. To fix understeer, GM is putting a 45 on the front and a 50 on the back. Bigger tires in front. Lifted straight from Car and Driver Jan. 05. Again, I know it isn't about a Mustang but this is a first (i've ever heard of on a...

    Anyone catch this?

    I know this isn't about the Mustang, but it struck me as very odd, since I've never heard of anyone doing this... According to MotorTrend, next spring's Pontiac Grand Prix GXP version will sport 222/45R-18s in the FRONT and 255/50R-18s in the BACK. Yup, larger wheels in the front. Why...

    Get out of jail free card

    Early Christmas present. :D I had one police officer "pull me over", which is to say he tailed me for 5 minutes until he could pull up next to me at a red light. All he wanted to do was say "nice car". :nice: "How fast that thing go?", he says. "How would I know?", I offered...
