    This car is just great!

    I don't like red cars either....... then I saw a redfire GT on the lot and bought it! :banana: Now I guess I gotta like 'em. Nice car and congrats.

    Suggestion Please...

    Tell her to test drive them and then buy the one she wants. Tell the salesman to shutup and let her decide what she wants. However, keep these things in mind: - There is probably a bonus attached to the older car. They need to move it before it is considered 'used'. - How long is she...

    mustang design engineers didn't think winter?

    A number of BMWs have had the auto-drop windows. Built for/in Germany you would think somebody would have heard of problems before. The drop down is not anywhere close to a new idea.

    A Unique Question - What's the LOWEST RPM You Can Shift At Safely?

    If it goes (as opposed to stalling) it is safe. These motors have really good low-end torque so you really don't need to run the RPM up in city driving (it is fun though). You can shift at 2000 all day and never have a problem.

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    I got 20 on my last tank now with 1200 miles on it. There was a good bit of 55-65 highway driving on that tank.

    Hood shake problem build dates

    Jan build and no shake up to about 115. It does wobble a bit when passing a semi.

    Head rests

    I suspect that everyone knows what the head rest is there for. I just wish it wouldn't hit the back of my head when I hit a bumpy stretch of pavement. It is just too close for those of us who do not want the 'low-rider' seating position. Some folks like it, some don't and others don't care...

    what a piece of junk

    The 4.4 V8 in the BMW was higher reving. In fact, I was reving the s**t out of the stang the first day I took it home without realizing it. Just needed to adjust my senses to the lower power curve (not less power, power at lower RPM) and different sound/feel of the stang. Overall, the power...

    adding redline water wetter

    So true.... I have seen 3 blocks that cracked due to freezing. None of them were cracked anywhere near the 'freeze plug'.

    what a piece of junk

    I am sorry to hear about your problems. However, don't get me started on the crappy quality and service experience I have had with GM vehicles. All manufacturers have their problems. (The only zero problem car I ever owned was an Acura.) If you like the Mustang, buy it. Odds are you won't...

    adding redline water wetter

    I have the same question. Just doesn't seem that it will make any difference in a modern, un-modified engine. Unless you are going to make a LOT more heat than the cooling system was designed for or change the cooling system to reduce weight/frontal area it doesn't seem to make any sense.

    Spoiler: To delete or not to delete, that is the question

    Being in great white Canada, just think of it as a snow deflector for the guy tailgating you.

    Question concerning silver cars

    I had no problems with my '99 BMW. "Titanium Silver" and it looked great with a good hand-washing when I traded it in last month. I did not baby the finish either. It did look 'oxidized' when it got dirty though. I think that clearcoat paints kind if break some of the old axioms.

    GT Test Drive

    What area of the country do you live in? There are a small nbr of GTs on lots around the DFW area. (My dealer has one or two on the lot right now.) If not, maybe there is a forum member in your area that would oblige. I did this for a buddy of mine who also ordered a vert. I drove a V6...

    Need input for Q-Logic sub box development

    Scosche already has one that is custom fit for the 05 stang. I am planning on getting it. I may wait a little to see one of the Q-Logic boxes first. Any estimate on when this will be available?

    Payment Help

    I have never heard of a dealer NOT taking a personal check. I wrote a 38K check for a loaded Suburban a number of years ago. They didn't blink. And your credit rating doesn't matter. If you are not applying for credit with them they have no right to check your credit anyway. My dealer...

    How does V.8 compare to V.6?

    I don't understand folks bashing the V6 Mustang. I have a GT but I got to drive a V6 5 speed for a day. It was really nice. A lot more enjoyable than I expected. Heck, if I wasn't in such dire need for a mid-life crisis vehicle :banana: I would have considered one. The V6 Mustang...
