    traction control blows

    The car is new to me (600 miles). I haven't had a stick car since the early nineties. I haven't noticed the light in the instrument cluster. And it turned the wheels off the line; acceleration just seemed a bit off. BTW, how well did you know your car after 600 miles? Blue

    traction control blows

    OK, I don't think I'm the next coming of Christ in a race car, but I have had numerous hi-perf vehicles and have strip experience. Getting a bad car is pretty rare these days (compared to years past, anyway), as is getting a performance freak. To the gentleman who said I'm driving like...

    traction control blows

    I've have nothing but praise for the GTech. As long as it is level and pointing straight ahead, its accuracy is uncanny. I think the traction control just killed my 60' and my 0 - 60 times; the trap speed was there. Anyway, doesn't anyone out there know the rpms at which a stock '03 GT...

    traction control blows

    Please explain "calibrating" the traction control. Also, I was under the impression that the 4.6 makes its power a little higher in the rev range than the 5.0. Anyone know peak hp and peak torque rpms for a stock GT? Thanks, Blue1

    traction control blows

    So, I figure over 600 miles on the new GT, I'll take it to my top secret testing area (local road between two fields) and get a stock performance baseline with my GTech accelerometer. Car is probably still a little tight, road surface not perfectly clean (some white salt stains), I haven't...

    tire sizes

    What is the largest size tire that will fit without any rubbing in an '03 GT? Let me know the brand/model tire, too; tire sizes are nominal, thanks, Blue1

    3.27 to 3.55

    I have 3.55 gears in my '91 5.0 auto and they are awesome. I got on the highway and see 80+ frequently (early fast lane rush hour around here) and the 3.27s I had in there are probably worth two mpg at those speeds, but it is a nice compromise. Given that I have only 5oo mile on my new GT...

    Questions from gearhead that is new to Modular

    First of all, the owner's manual says the diff lube is synth. I'm just curious about the tranny lube. Thanks for the tip about the switch; I'll do a search. It would seem you're right about the ratio. You let you're dealer change the oil? I wouldn't let any dealer touch anything I own...

    Questions from gearhead that is new to Modular

    What type of coolant does Ford put in the '03 GT Mustang from the factory? The manual says the differential lube is synthetic. Is the the lube in the 5 speed synth or dyno? Can the traction control switch be easily modded to turn the traction control on instead of off so I don't have top...

    functional '03 GT hood scoop

    Just bought a leftover '03 GT 5-speed. Has anyone adapted the Mach 1 functional hood scoop to the GT, or fabricated their own? Non-functional factory bling sucks. Blue1
