    Head rests

    It is highly unlikely that any automaker with a design that has an expected lifespan into '07 and beyond would not take the new regs into account. The Ford 500 does not have this problem. Neither does the new BMW 3 series. Luv my 'stang. Just being realistic about the headrests.

    Need input for Q-Logic sub box development

    Please protect the woofer first. Who cares what it looks like if it has a big hole in it.

    Head rests

    I too find the headrests to be uncomfortable. Upcoming regs or not... other manufacturers (and Ford in other vehicles) seem to be able to design headrests that do not have this problem. Ford dropped the ball on this.

    Played with a 350Z

    The Nissan V6 is far from maxed out. It is a great engine. However, it is both heavy and expensive. The expensive part is the real reason Ford is not putting something like it in the Mustang. It's all about good performance for as little money as possible.

    Raced an '01 vette! Question

    Were you shifting 'manually'? What RPM were you at when it shut off? Did you get any wheel hop before the shut off? Sounds like you either bumped the rev limiter or the TCS kicked in.

    Gas Problems

    I got 16MPG on the first tank that I checked (about 400 miles on the car). I was driving it pretty hard and all in town. 11-13 is pretty low and I would have someone look at it.

    Head rests

    I think the headrests are too far forward as well. I'm gonna pull them off and see what it will take to 'adjust' them.

    Radar Detectors: Whos Using What?

    There is no device sufficiently fool-proof to guard someone who is sufficently foolish. No detector is going to protect you. Just give you a little better odds. One additional point on the price of a V1. It includes a fantastic upgrade/repair policy that no one else has. I can get...

    Radar Detectors: Whos Using What?

    oops.... the V1 has been around since 1992 so it has been at the top for 13 years instead of 9. I bought my first one 7 years ago.

    Radar Detectors: Whos Using What?

    V1 - I have two. Others come and go from the top of reviewers list but the V1 has stay at or near the top for at least 7 years. Valentine Research's customer service is also second to none. Great repair and upgrade policy so I don't ever get too far out of date.

    3rd Gear...anyone else notice this?

    I noticed that if you bump the rev limiter (easy to do in 2nd) it will not recover quickly to make any power in 3rd. Even if you start your shift before redline you could be just touching the limit causing the 'brain' to shut thngs down. I agree with trying to shift a little earlier. Let...

    Popping Noise when I turn the wheel

    Mine pops to. Only about 300 miles on it. Hey Ford!!! Just buy us all a 1.5" drop Eibach kit. It will be cheaper than paying your engineers to come up with something else!
