    Tremec 3650 in 2010 GT Any problems?

    Yes!! That must be the connection!!!! :D Seriously though...the Tremec is $hit!! Do a little searching and there are plenty of complaints about "cold crunch" so we're not the only ones that got stuck with a bad tranny. I bought the '08 new...it was well taken care of...and only had 18K...

    Tremec 3650 in 2010 GT Any problems?

    Yes, new. I think it had 42 demo miles on it when I drove it off the lot. The clutch and transmission were never abused yet it shifted horribly. I bought it unknowingly when the weather was hot...when it started getting cold outside the shift quality deteriorated fast. Aside from the...

    Dead pedals

    You know, the Drake looks wider than the OEM style pedal and is 'close enough' to matching. It also seems like a much better built pedal and a good value for a billet part.

    Tremec 3650 in 2010 GT Any problems?

    There's no way I'd ever buy another car with a Tremec manual. My 2008 GT was terrible...I tried everything...synthetic ATF, Hurst shifter, MGW shifter, etc. It was pure crap with horrible shift quality and crunch and grind when the weather was cold. This is coming from a guy that's owned a...

    Swirling Paint

    If you use 100% cotton pads that are CLEAN from dirt and debris, and you're not using polishing compound or something (just swirl remover like Scratch-X or cleaner wax) you're not going to fry your paint no matter how hard you try. It's easier to swirl it using a pad and applying wax by hand...

    Dead pedals

    Is this the one you mean from Drake? 2005-2009 Mustang Billet Dead Pedal at Blue Oval Industries for your Ford Mustang @ Blue Oval Industries That's all I could find in a search. It looks great but isn't exactly like the Ford dead pedal. It appears to have the same mounting as...

    Got my 2010 GT Dynoed last weekend!

    Yeah, I had a '95 Cobra and the 2010 GT 4.6 (or even the '08) is quicker. How much difference do the underdrive pulleys make (in both HP or driveability while running the air, etc) and are they a PITA to install? Probably the same thing they thought when the first GT350 came out...or the...

    Dead pedals

    The kit on Blue Oval Industries website says it's for 2005-2010...so it 'should' work! Are you saying you found the individual dead pedal (w/out brake and gas cover) on that website? -thanks

    GT vs Z28

    I used to spank Camaros all the time in stoplight drags with my '95 Cobra and we're talking only 240 HP!! A 2005+ GT is WAY quicker. Auto vs Stick and tires/gearing could make a difference too. Lastly, the newer GTs don't "feel" so fast because the powerband is so wide that it's a smooth...

    Dead pedals

    Have you found the deadpedal for sale separately? Some of the price variances might be because the ones I've seen come in a kit with covers for the brake and gas pedal, which I don't need since my car already has them. I believe they'll work on a 2010...that's what mine is and I'm willing to...

    Swirling Paint

    Other than preventative stuff (NEVER send it through an auto-carwash, only hand wash and dry with non-synthetic sheepskin mitt and cotton towels) the only thing you can do is to detail it. I'm not sure you should have to do it MONTHLY though as long as you keep it clean and use a car soap that...

    part 2-Got them down to $27K out the door

    I think it did expire then (I've had mine for a few weeks now) and, no I don't think there's a second V8 option. It would have been cool if it was like the old days and there was more than one V8 to choose from. I'm REALLY happy with the 2010...by far the best Mustang I've owned to date.

    2010 CAI/Tune thoughts and questions

    Soooooo....I'm thinking of getting a SCT tuner and tuning my 2010 GT. The throttle lag seems severe at times (floor it and wait). I had questions though. Does anyone know exactly what the deal is with the adaptive knock calibration and how/if it's affected by flashing a custom tune? My...

    Got my 2010 GT Dynoed last weekend!

    I'm thinking of doing it with mine. I plan on changing the air filter and flash tuning it...thinking of doing a run stock then swapping out the filter and flashing a tune to see what gains I get.

    WTH? Oil chg @ home on 2010 GT

    I took my car in for the first oil change last week (plan on doing my own from here on out) and said oh #@$% to myself when I saw them remove that big plastic piece from under my car. I thought I was through with that hassle when we sold my wife's H3 (it had a huge steel armoured shield I...

    2014 Mustang

    I think you're right! When I bought my 2008 GT (after driving IRS cars for years since I sold my '95 Cobra) I'd have to chuckle to myself when I'd go over rough pavement and the limitations of the solid rear axle were evident. Now I've got a 2010 GT and I'm not even concious of driving a...
