    I am getting too old for this *****

    The new v6s are great cars but even my 07 GT gets not so bad gas mileage. The last 2 fill ups I got 21mpg split city and highway. That is having fun with the car and not driving like a grandma. I think I could get 27mpg all highway. I noticed the increase in mpg after putting in the aluminum...

    Installed Borla axle back on the stang

    I also have the Borla stingers and love them. I just had a magnalfow catted X pipe installed last weekend and she sounds even more like a beast now.

    what is this noise?

    An aluminum D/S will get rid of about 50+% of the clunking. I just had a shaftmaster 3.5" one installed about 2 weeks ago. I have no vibration and tested that up to 120mph. Also she accelerates better. I say its a good mod to have.

    How many miles on your S197, total and yearly

    Bought my 07 GT last October. She had 29k when I bought her and I now have about 33k on her. Only drive her on nice days and do not driver her in the winter.

    what is this noise?

    I need to do this. How many bolts are there and did you use just the normal black electrical tape? I will go buy some ramps this weekend so I can get this done.

    what gear do u drive in

    All I know is its fun to go from 50mph in 5th to 2nd. Or from 5th to 3rd at 70mph. She pulls like a freight train. Granted I have an 07 so I only have five gears to play with.

    what is this noise?

    I have the same sound its around 2300rpm for me and also need to have the window down or be next to a wall to here it. I brought it to the dealer this past week and they said they didn't here anything and everything is tight under the car. I'm going to go back and take them for a test drive. The...

    06 GT Rolled into street

    Never never leave it in neutral unless you are on flat ground. If your going up hill and park put it in first gear after you pull the E brake. If you are parked facing down hill put it in revers so if the brake doesn't hold the transmission will stop the car from rolling away.

    May have totalled my car

    That sucks man. I know how it is. My 01 was totaled back in August. I was shocked when insurance gave me 10k for it. I then put that money down on a 2007 GT that I bought in October. Looks like you got a nice 09 GT so welcome to the s197 club!

    2011 V6s are gonna piss me off I know it

    Last fall I went to the local Ford dealer priced out a 2011 V6 with performance package for 22k. I could have gotten a base v6 with no options for under 20k. I then priced out a GT with the only option being 3.73 gears and it came to 28k. To me those prices aren't that bad. In the end I bought a...

    how do you kill the wheel hop on s197?

    Billy whats up man.... haven't seen you on stanget in a while. Yeah I'm running stock tires 255-45-18s and they need to be replaced this year anyway. So your saying skip the relocation brackets? I noticed a lot of wheel hop not just spinning. This is what I was thinking of ordering in the...

    how do you kill the wheel hop on s197?

    Not to hijack the thread but are relocation brackets worth it with the LCAs? I will be lowering my car a little over an inch all around?
