    How does the stock system sound?

    I have the 500. Sound quality is good by my standards, but I'm not really that into it. I'll probably put one 10" sub in the trunk, eventually, 200 watt amp with it.

    Factory Shift Indicator Light

    Maybe it's some fuel economy indicator light they activate for overseas sales. And yeah, I hated the economy light on my Grand Am.

    Factory Shift Indicator Light

    Has anyone figured out how to activate the factory shift indicator light that's in the middle of the tach? You can see the outline with a flashlight, right below the 4K mark. It's shown lit up in some early dash pics, but apparently didn't get activated for production. I'm assuming it's a...

    Goodbye

    It's probably just as well, man. If you bought a Mustang just to look cool driving it around before other people, it probably wasn't the right car for you. Mustang GT's never were limited edition, exactly. ;) I'd hold on to that Lightning and, if you do put on aftermarket parts, KEEP THE...

    Saleen's 'Scenic Roof'...

    I don't know auto insurance that well. You could get the window insured also, you think? It's an aftermarket part...

    Quick Review of Predator CANNED Tunes

    The tuner comes with three pre-loaded tunes: 87 Octane Performance, 91 Octane Performance, and just plain Performance which is actually the 93 octane tune. I talked to tech support and they recommended getting down to at least 1/4 of a tank before changing octane tunes. When I had 87 octane...

    Saleen's 'Scenic Roof'...

    Two reasons why I won't buy this, even though it looks awesome: 1) I can't afford it. 2) It would only take one jealous ***hole with a hammer to give you an awfully expensive window repair...

    Quick Review of Predator CANNED Tunes

    First thing the tuner does is download your VIN (can only tune one vehicle per unit) as well as all of the "stock" settings in your CPU. By stock, I mean it will save as a baseline whatever parameters are in place the FIRST TIME you use the Predator. So if you've had the dealer change...

    Quick Review of Predator CANNED Tunes

    I purchased my Predator tuner from a local speed shop for $350. Been running it for two weeks. My only other mods are Flowmaster AT axle-backs, a K&N air filter in the stock airbox, and a Hurst short-throw shifter. Here's my thoughts, based on MY expectations when I bought it, which were...

    Hurst Short Throw Shifter

    For those using the Hurst short-throw, how does it FEEL compared to the stocker? Ever have problems missing a gear? My GT is white with dark charcoal interior, so I'm really tempted to get the shifter and throw the white ball on top of it. I can't wrench for crap, though, other than...

    Predator Tuner - Need Advice, Please

    It's a shop I used for my old Mustang, so I know the guy, no other reason. If I do have any questions, I know he's only about 10 minutes away.

    Predator Tuner - Need Advice, Please

    Great, thanks for all the help. I found a local shop that sells the Predator for $350. Considering again that I just have the axle-backs, do you think I'll notice decent SOTP feel from the basic 87 or 89 octane tunes? I'm looking for maybe another 10HP to the wheels and, more importantly...

    Yellow Driving Lights

    I've seen a couple of 2005+ GT's with yellow driving lights. Is there any point to yellow lights for visibility? Fog, anything? Or are they just cosmetic?

    Already did the search and NOTHING

    What color is your car? Do you have the factory spoiler? My personal opinion, for a nice, clean look, get these two parts. Also won't cost a ton. Silverhorse Honeycomb Rear Panel http://www.silverhorseracing.com/products.htm CDC Ducktail Spoiler...

    Predator Tuner - Need Advice, Please

    I'm sure that this is covered in other posts, but I'm too stoopid to find one covering all these questions. I'm looking at getting a Predator tuner and custom dyno tune at a local shop for $600. I asked in the SE regional forum and everyone who replied told me to use this shop. I have a...

    Tampa Bay Tuner Shop?

    FYI, I called Coastal, and $600 gets you your Predator tuner and a dyno tune for optimization. That's a good bit cheaper than a couple of other local (Pinellas) shops I spoke to.

    some fools tearing up an '05 vert

    Yeah, that's gotta be a rental. Still, that kills the last bit of whatever desire I had to buy a used Mustang!!!
