    Let's rate the new Mustang

    Love the front, side looks good, not too crazy about the back. Interior looks great I don't mind the 4.6L w/ the bullit changes so much. Hopefully it won't be heavier and aerodynamics will be better for better fuel mileage. Overall an 8 for me.

    Functional Hood Scoop

    Just wondering if anyone has made the factory hood scoop functional. Like the CDC Scoop, or maybe just for cooling, etc... Would be kind of cool to open it up and have some ductwork to the factory air box.

    what is the best car wax ?

    The reason I like the ICE is that it doesn't turn black plastic white and is safe to use on the black plastic. The meguiars NXT sounds good but can it be used on plastic? If it gets on plastic does it make white marks?

    Windows Rattling -- Help!

    You could also try adjusting the windows. It's in the manual, you just hold up the button for a few seconds and it readjusted the closed height.

    Interested in buying a Mustang

    I have my 07 GT and fiance's 07 v6 in the driveway. The v6 with 5speed manual is a nice all around car. In real world driving the speed is not that much of a difference. Here are pros of each: v6 pros: 1-2mpg better fuel mileage lower initial cost a little lower insurance cost v8...

    Maybe I'm overreacting?

    Sometimes you can kind of refresh the idle if you unhook the battery for 30 minutes and then rehook it and start the car, let it run for a minute or two then turn ac on and let it run for a few more minutes to get to operating temp. Then drive around with ac still on to give it a load. That...

    Grab 'n Go - the 2010 Mustang Shifter

    I disagree, I love the 5 speed. My last vehicle was a jeep wrangler with a 6 speed and it just made me have to shift more and sometimes accidentally grind gears going near reverse at high speeds. The only way a six speed would maybe be nice is if it was an additional overdrive for better fuel...

    Not looking good for the Mustang

    I don't think the v6 they used was a good idea. With the low torque numbers and the weight of it, it won't be as fast as the current mustang GT and the pricing is about the same. Plus the fuel mileage is dissapointing. The previous 3.8l GM motor was almost as fast and had better fuel...

    what is the best car wax ?

    I like a wax called "Ice" made by turtle wax I think. I started using it recently , It's not carnuba based more of a synthetic polymer so it doesn't leave white residue on plastic. In fact it works really well on plastic and protects it as well as the paint. I used carnuba based waxes in...

    Is something wrong with my GT???

    If I drive granny style, I get ~21mpg city. At ~65mph on the highway I get 25-29mpg.

    Exhaust Poll

    I just got the exhaust today. I'll probably put it on this weekend. Then I'll get a clip or I'll try to get one of my brothers.

    Best NoTune CAI

    I just installed the CAI tonight and drove it around. Maybe it is in my head but it seems to rev faster and it feels like more power

    Exhaust Poll

    I ended up going with the corsa 14311 pro series. I kept listening to my brothers 06 GT and it sounds so sweet I figured it was worth the extra money.

    Best NoTune CAI

    That is wierd about the hp and torque figures. The pictures show a GT with the 4.6L though. Maybe the numbers are a typo:shrug: In the end I ordered the S&B intake from jegs along with an axle back exhaust on Sunday. I didn't really want to spend too much and I want to stick with 87 octane...

    Best NoTune CAI

    I just found this article in 5.0 mustang magazine: 2005-2006 Ford Mustang GT Cold Air Intake Kit - Installation - 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords Magazine They tested the S&B CAI on a stock GT with no tune and got 17hp, 10lb-ft torque. Not too bad for a simple bolt on.

    Why, You don't think it will add any power? They claim they do but you might be right.

    Best NoTune CAI

    I see a lot of threads on CAI's. I want to get one without a tune. The ones I have been looking at are: C&L ~$320 K&N ~$286 S&B~$205 The S&B one claims the most hp and is the least expensive, but I assume without a tune that they would all be about equal. I have never heard of S&B and...

    Exhaust Poll

    I love the sound of my GT but I would like it a little louder without drone. My brother has an 06 with the corsa axle backs and it sounds great(he has the louder ones) I have also been looking at the FRPP GTA and GT5 axle backs. I like the idea of getting a ford factory offered part but don't...

    FRPP Headers

    Just wondering how the FRPP Shorty headers are. They seem inexpensive at ~$320($499 ceramic coated). Any HP benefit? Do they sound good?
