    ran a 9.18 1/8th mile tonight...

    What does that translate to in the 1/4 mile? Ballpark of course...

    Is my car a freak?!

    I've gotten 30+ mpg going ~60 mph for about 30 miles. Never driven that speed for anything longer though. I have gotten 28 MPG crusing at 75-80 over the course of 300 miles.

    Shelby GT question

    I paid under $29K for my loaded premium LAST august when they were still very new to the lots and there were no incentives. You can easily haggle it lower now. You'll hear many strong opinions on here about the SGT. If you want the Shelby name, then get the Shelby. Otherwise, if you want to...

    How long did you have to wait?

    I went in for an oil change on my old mustang and walked out with a new one. Almost... I decided I was going to buy it, but needed to sell my car first. Posted it on craigslist, 3 hours later its sold. Luckily my dealer had one identical to how I would've ordered it.

    Tire Pressure Sensor

    As I was driving to the airport this morning, I got a low tire pressure warning. Of course I never put my pressure gauge in my car, so I couldn't check it at the airport, and I won't see the car again til Friday. Assuming the tire(s) still have air by Friday morning, is there a way to get the...

    Problem with new 'stang...

    :flag: Thanks for your service and keeping people like me safe. :flag: My Dad seemed to be in a similar boat to yours since driving mine. He owned a 69 Mach 1 and it brought back some memories. I will teach people on my car. I learned to drive stick on my car (well, I had learned before...

    What Mustang Should I Purchase?

    ALLOY!!! GET THE ALLOY!!!!! Although, if you are telling me it has the base stereo and not the Shaker 500, that means its not a premium trim. You'll want a premium. Honestly, I don't think $27000 is a good price for a used Bullitt. You can get an almost fully loaded 2008 GT brand new for...

    Anyone Leasing Their Mustang?

    The 2009's are all over the rental car fleet already.

    Anyone Leasing Their Mustang?

    Here is a sample comparison between leasing and financing... We'll use a $28k purchase price (forget taxes) with $3k down for both scenarios. On a 25k loan @ 5% for 60 months, you end up paying over $3300 in interest. Each percentage point up or down changes that figure by approximately $600...

    Gas Prices

    I will state this again: Their profit margin is NO HIGHER than your typical company in most industries. They are just in a business that has incredibly high revenue. Also, remember Exxon makes significant profit from lubricants and whatnot as well - not just gasoline.

    Hertz Rental

    I travel for my job and rent a car every single week. I often get v6 mustangs. They are NOTHING like the GT's in terms of comfort and interior style. I will say, however, that they are a significant step up from the 2000 V6 that I owned before my 08 GT.

    Caring for a Pony that accumulates low annual miles?

    Car is in fantastic condition and looks great. I'm curious why you are keeping a non-special edition mustang (don't care if its a GT or v6) with such low miles, but to each his own. I do recommend getting the car up to operating temp at least every other week. With how little its driven, I'd...

    300hp Camaro....V6

    Sounds like they changed it mid model year. Why does the EPA continue to make the testing process more difficult (albeit more realistic in most cases), yet there is still such a huge increase in the required fleet fuel economy in the next decade? Since 2005, the same exact vehicle (our mustang)...

    Had to post this car from ebay....

    200 is acheivable... but when a 505 HP Z06 can't hit it, which is very aerodynamic, a 600 hp classic mustang won't come close.

    Had to post this car from ebay....

    200 mph? Come on. The aerodynamics of the classic mustangs are about as good as a brick wall.

    Dumb to buy Smart?

    I'm surprised how no one has mentioned how they require premium gasoline.

    300hp Camaro....V6

    Sorry, thats wrong. They used to be 18/25, but now my 08 was rated at 15/25. I have gotten up to 28 mpg @75-80, and over 30 at 60.
