    bump. I'd like to know also.

    Scariest Ride In A Mustang

    This was a sad night for me. I was going around a blind curve at about 60 in a 40 and saw a deer at the last second. My reaction was swerve away from the deer which put my car into an embankment, up a tree, then upside down.

    I doubt you're still waiting for a reply but here it is for the sake of others. S197 GT Spring Rates and Heights (no guessing allowed) - MustangForums.com

    Nascar

    I don't think Jr's decision to leave DEI was totally up to him. There were most likely some behind the scenes politics going on between Theresa Earnhardt (Jr's stepmom) and Jr. IDK about Jr driving the #3 car because he isn't/never will be his dad.

    Are we cylinder snobs?

    Yeah if the v6 model produces the same horsepower/torque numbers and was reasonably priced I would consider buying it. But that would never happen because then GTs will be obsolete.

    New rims, Need some tire size help.

    First of all how wide are the wheels you're buying? IMO they'd have to be at least 9.5" wide to justify a 305 width tire. And I would get at least a 45 series sidewall on 18" wheels to fill in the fenders, and to not stray far from the stock tire diameter.

    Should I have dealer fix damage done on lot new?

    I had a similar problem with a Nissan that I purchased a while back - damage that was done on the lot prior to purchase that I just couldn't see at the time of delivery. The dealership told me it was "owner incurred damage" and that they're not responsible for it. Let's hope your local Ford...

    regular or premium???

    It's ok. I really didn't know either. I was just going by my assumption that since my 04 4.6 didn't have it, the new 4.6s wouldn't either, save for the 4-valve 4.6. With that said, I could have sworn I heard some marbles in a can while launching hard on a hot day with AC on. So I decided to...

    regular or premium???

    If I was wrong all you had to do was correct me. No need to be a smartass about it. And oh9, my 04 GT sure didn't have knock sensors. I don't know why Ford did that either.

    Chevy man gone bad.

    Well I meant the GF because unlike the Mustang, you can't really buy a GF. :) As for the Mustang vs. Camaro debate, I think Chevy got it right in the performance department. Ford owners can only wish their v6 Mustangs make 306hp out of the box.

    Wow you did well buddy.

    Nascar

    Now that would be lame if they go through with that. Atlanta isn't even that fast of a track. Wrong. NASCAR currently uses Impalas.

    regular or premium???

    You are right. The 4.6 3V engines don't have knock sensors. So if you hear knocking, increase the octane. Otherwise, stick with the lowest octane possible for these engines as long as there is no timing advance or forced induction.

    My body kit, keep or remove?

    Yeah I'd remove it and put it on ebay. I do like the APR widebody kits though.

    Nascar

    I thought they're restricted at only Daytona and Talladega. Where else? And only those two places are where they can break 200mph, hence the restriction. Isn't the Mustang going to be a Nationwide-only car anyway? IMO, if/when they do make the switch to Mustang, they should also use the Monte...

    Nascar

    The current style bodies can't reach 200+ mph anyway because of restrictor plates. I understand your point though, but I'm sure they can mess with different front bumpers and splitters to make Mustang front ends suitable for high speeds. It won't happen though because NASCAR loves their decals.

    Suspension talk..Anyone??

    You have the steeda sport springs which give a 1" drop correct? Was anything else done to make it lower? Because that ride height looks perfect and I may consider getting the steedas.. Do you have any bigger pics of your car, maybe in different angles? How's the fender gap?
  18. 40th GT

    How often do you....

    Just curious, does the speedometer read lower or higher than the speed on your navigation? Because assuming that your gps is correctly calibrated, this could spell trouble if the speedo reads lower. (speeding tickets) :eek:

    what oil are you running?

    So when people do the 500-1000-3000 mile oil changes on a new car is it just for peace of mind? BTW I use Motorcraft's "full" synthetic with the 820S filter.

    I sold my 90 5.0 vert. and my 89 GT... and bought a 05 GT

    Nothing wrong with stock wheels. :) They sure beat the ones the car came with. And I want to add that hood scoop does not look OEM/is ugly. Probably another dumb addition made by the previous owner.
