    'Check Engine' light

    You know, I have read a lot of posts in stang forums and a lot of people have said they were gonna wait on the 06 or 07 car because of possible problems, like you mentioned. It actually never crossed my mind not to get an '05 ASAP. These days, car manufacturers are so much better at getting it...

    My New 05 GT

    Very nice. Welcome to the 05 Stang club. The traction control off button is right next to the hazards. :D Have fun!

    Pictures of my 2005 GT

    Nope, just a crappy camera phone picture. I don't have a digital camera yet. (And I am a computer geek...go figure). It's the torch "please give me a ticket now" red. :D

    Pictures of my 2005 GT

    I got this one from a dealer who found it for me in Atlanta. No choices on rims or interior but she had everything I was looking for as far as the upgrades. I plan on replacing the wheels and rims in the next few months. Figured I would get the burnouts out of my system before shelling out the...

    Anyone know who makes the Shaker 500/1000?

    Is it Shaker?? Can't find info anywhere. Given the numerous posts with new Stang owners having probs with the Shaker systems, I thought I would try and find who makes this stereo and see if they or Ford is actually fixing the problem. I did a search for the Shaker but kept coming to Ford...

    First police chase of a new Stang.

    I kept looking at the wing wondering why it looked less like an 05 wing and more like an Uncle Ben's special. Too obvious now. I concur that a V6 is not a good choice for a get away car. But hats off to the guy for recovering from two pits. :nice:

    'Check Engine' light

    Nothing like that yet. I say yet because I am waiting on three things to happen: The Shaker stereo quits playing CDs altogether. A gear drops. Check engine light comes on. I have seen posts on all three issues. (crossing my fingers). Good luck with the problem though. Hopefully it...

    Told my dealer if he went near my car with his dealer decal I would throttle him. :D Worked. No having to remove that crap.

    First police chase of a new Stang.

    A police chase of an (old) Stang. This guy is a pretty good driver. Watch the reverse move. If he/she just coulda spun it around. http://www.autothing.com/funthings/autothingTV/aTV-Media/stangspin.wmv I'd say it was doing a buck twenty. :D :nice:

    05 SHAKER 500 NOT WORKING !!!

    I've got a 1000 and it is doing the same garbage. Bad CD. Disk errors, skipping whenever it feels like it. I expect it to stop working altogether soon. I am waiting though, because I figure the parts Ford has in stock are the same garbage stereos with this issue. It will take a few months before...

    05 SHAKER 500 NOT WORKING !!!

    Skipper I've noticed this several times on my GT. Shaker 1000. Skips backward, oddly enough. I haven't a clue who the OEM is on the stereo. I just knew when it started that I would be taking it to the dealer to have it replaced. Ford must know about this by now. I figure in another couple of...

    One of the first in Birmingham

    I have a friend at a dealership in Hunstville who was able to snag one red Mustang GT for me. I've had her since Friday and I am truly in love with this car. This is my first mustang and I have had a friggin grin on my face ever since I planted my butt in the leather seat. It's torch red...
