    No start (via key) Keyless entry and anti-theft??

    Are you using an original Key? I don't know when Ford mustangs got the RFID system. My 97 Probe did not have it. My 2001 Ranger does. If your car requires a key with a "chip" in it, you do have one we have to assume. Then there is the inertial fuel pump shut off switch. Have you checked into...

    I'm embarrassed

    I don't like the looks of 4 doors in a sport car. And I dislike front wheel drive in a sports car even more. And its not like I haven't driven front wheel drive cars. I have owned two of them as my daily drivers for a total of 14 years. I am done with front wheel drive except if rears are...

    What gas is everyone using?

    Copied this from Ford's web site. From the grammar, it looks as though all 2008's and newer have the adaptive spark system. RELIEF AT THE GAS PUMP! ALL FORD, LINCOLN, MERCURY PRODUCTS DEVELOPED TO RUN ON REGULAR FUEL | Ford Motor Company Newsroom Thanks to Ford's improved adaptive spark...

    know any shops that wil install offroad h-pipe in north jersey

    Take off the plates, put it on a trailer and take it to the shop. Tell them you are building it up for use on a track. I don't know if they would cross reference the vin to the registration though. But they could at least have the probable deny-ability defense.

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    +1 on East of LA. Its heaven to be able to set the CC at 80 and let her roll like that for 3 hours.

    w.t.f Ford?

    Stangs have a back seat and more trunk space which comes in handy from time to time. Its a different class of car all together. Also cars like the 370Z have engines which are pretty well maxed out. Unlike the Mustangs which have a lot of room for improvement. I think that the Z car uses forced...

    What gas is everyone using?

    Using Chevron or Exxon 91 mostly but Mobile too. But the car is tuned for it. There are no BP stations in my parts and only one shell that I know of. Several 76s. There must be a prohibition on gas above 91 in this state. Because I can't find any. The pumps don't seem to say if they are...

    What kind of market is there for the stock 18" polished bullitt wheels?

    I think you could get that price if they don't have any curb rash or dings on them and there is a decent amount of tread left on the tires and the TPMS sensors are in place. I have been looking for a set of those myself. Just missed some on Craigslist a few weeks back. They were close...

    Sounds to me like you did what you had to do in an emergency situation. Your situational awareness and proactive maneuvering prevented an accident. :nice:

    Deep doo doo

    My problem seems to be coming in to a city after being out on the interstate doing 85 for the last 3 hours. Like Phoenix where the place is infected with speed cameras and the speed limits drop to 55 - 65. 55 just seems slow. So it is too easy to be a little fast and get tagged by one of their...

    to destroy a perfect auto

    The only reason that they can is because of our environmental and labor laws. Its not a level playing field by far.

    key fob quit..help!

    Reading the owners manual works wonders doesn't it. They are available online too. I think you can teach the car up to 8 fobs. And like 6 RFID keys as well. I already made copies of my keys and taught the car to use them. (you need two working RFID keys to get the car into key learn...

    Battery discharging

    Stock pulley sizes? Alts regulate their output by adjusting the field current. Is there enough field current? But they do need a minimum RPM to do their thing also. Smaller pulley on the alt perhaps? Larger pulley on the balancer?

    Is 5w30 ok?

    All it would do is hurt your gas mileage some. On my 2008 4.6, the book says to run 5W 20W so thats what I put in it.

    Would you want 315HP or 365HP?

    But I thought with ecoboost we could have 400 + horses for the same Gas Mileage as a 300 HP Engine. Driven conservatively of course. :rolleyes: Honest, I would only put my foot in it to get on the freeway and for suicide passes. :D

    Would you want 315HP or 365HP?

    No no no.... You eco-boost the v8 up to 540 HP or more. If we are going to talk up the value of turbocharging a V6 to respectable power, then we need to do the same for the V8. Its only fair.
