    What MPG's are you guys getting with your 2010 GT's?

    You would have thought so, huh? I don't think the v6s will stand up to any GT. They don't have the same torque.

    Transmission REALLY stiff first thing in the mornings

    My thought is that the Tremec 5 speed is a POS. I had the same problem including the occasional grind/clash from 2 to 3 and 3 to 4 when cold. Even when warm it was temperamental in its quality of shifting and I felt it was the biggest limiting factor in my car's performance. I tried synthetic...

    What MPG's are you guys getting with your 2010 GT's?

    I got around 19.5 with mixed driving in my 08. The 2010 seems worse (17 or 18) but I only have 200 miles on the odometer so it isn't even broken in yet :-)

    Advice needed! 2010 vs. 2011

    I'd think you could pick up a base 2010 GT premium for that price...there are better rebates on the GT too.

    Will the rebate on 2010 increase?

    The private offer came in the mail from Ford (I bought a 2008).

    Will the rebate on 2010 increase?

    Rebates are 3k now and there's another $750 private Mustang owner rebate. The trick is to wait long enough to get a decent rebate and price but not so long as to have a limited selection. I think now is a good time if you can find the exact 2010 you want on a lot. If you're not picky wait...

    Of course if you have a trade you're back to square one....haggling again, right?

    MADE MY 2011 STANG PURCHASE TODAY!

    Is the X plan really that good of a deal? I qualify through my employer.

    MADE MY 2011 STANG PURCHASE TODAY!

    When I see posts like this it makes me wonder why I can't get under $34K on a $37k sticker for a 2010...:mad:

    Vibration - 20" Rims to blame? Need Help

    My advice is to stay away from huge rims w/ ultra low profile tires! :nono: They're not worth the hassle and 'reasonable' wheel sizes provide a much nicer ride IMO...(I'm speaking from experience here). It's possible it could be your rims, but another possibility is that it's your tires...

    Went for a ride in a '11 today

    True...but I don't buy my Mustangs to drag race so that second difference is negligible. I think the Mustang is more limited by wheel hop and traction issues than a need for more horsepower. ...Not saying 100HP more wouldn't be welcome though:nice:

    Went for a ride in a '11 today

    I'm looking at 2010s (and possibly 2011s) to replace my 08...I hate the rearend design of the new ones though. The 5.0 would be great but I swear my 4.6 seems quicker than the Camaro I testdrove and is fast enough for my needs :-)

    When do the 2011's ship? When can one be ordered?

    Really? Given a good deal I'd be happy to buy the right 2010. 100 extra HP is always welcome but the 4.6 is no loser.

    How much under sticker did you pay for 2010?

    Well...I'm going to stand tough. Worst case scenario, I'll finish paying off my '08 (only a few more months) and drive it until I can find a deal on a 2011; and that wouldn't be too bad of a scenario!! :nice: I like the 2010 I'm looking at but it's just not worth it to me if I can't get a...

    How much under sticker did you pay for 2010?

    So you guys think $3k under sticker for a highly optioned 2010 GT should be more than reasonable? The dealer has a bunch on the lot...I think the particular one I'm looking at has been there for months (4+?). He'll offer me a 'reasonable' trade in value on my '08 but refuses to budge on the...

    Tremec w/ Synthetic ATF Success Stories??

    I've realized that my 5spd shifts like a farm tractor and it's all related to how cold it is outside...the colder it is the worse it shifts. When it's moderate temperature outside it shifts great, somewhat notchy but precise. When cold the synchros don't mesh up well and it's difficult to...

    Thanks!! I never even thought to check that out...you might have saved me a trip under the car. :nice:

    Hurst or Steeda

    well, I'm not anthony05gt...but I can tell you I've got mine at (I "think" if memory serves me right) 6 turns and it's plenty notchy. It also seems to have gotten worse over time but I think that it's due to the transmission because of the weather getting colder and not the shifter. When the...
