    Eliminate body roll?, Better bolstered seats?

    I had a 5 point SABELT racing harness in my Civic Si that I used to autocross. I mounted the belts to the rear seat bolts (under the seat cushions where the rear seatbelts mount). Ideally you would drill holes by the driver seat and mount a plate to the floor to mount the lap belt, but I didn't...

    new owner of 2011 GT and need exhaust help

    Some butt dyno's are more in tune to their cars than others. I could tell a small difference when I put Roush cans on my 2007, and they sounded awesome. Here's a link with audio clips of their 2011 5.0 exhaust. Price isn't too bad either. I will be getting these: ROUSH Performance: 2011...

    Eliminate body roll?, Better bolstered seats?

    Side air bags are in the seat bolsters. If you remove the OEM seats, you lose the air bags. And since there is no electrical connection to the air bag, you will most likely have a light on your dashboard telling you so. :) You might look into installing a 5-point racing harness if you are...

    Eliminate body roll?, Better bolstered seats?

    Brembo makes brakes. Not anti-sway bars.

    False empty 2011 TSB 10-21-3 recurrence trouble?

    I just got my '11 GT a week ago. I filled it up when it got to 1/2 tank, and again at 1/4 tank. Since I am at 1/2-ish tank today, I will drive it down below 1/4 to see if I have the same problem. I have *heard* of the TSB, but I'm curious to know if it's been fixed on newer cars. How do I...

    Mustangs don't do well in the snow..

    Bet you $1.00 he has OEM tires on. There is less than 2 inches of snow and he can barely get traction. Snow tires let you do donuts when you want to, and GTFO of the way when some idiot locks up their brakes and is sliding towards you. :nice:

    Mustangs don't do well in the snow..

    Those tires are good for MAYBE...one winter. But trust me, if you plan on driving your Mustang in the winter, you'd do yourself a huge favor by getting real snow tires. Why pay for collision repair (and insurance increase!) because you went off the road and hit something? OR....you couldn't get...

    Mustangs don't do well in the snow..

    Ok... I just took off my Brembo pkg. wheels/tires and put on a new set of wheels with Blizzaks. The Mustang is fully capable of driving through a Michigan winter with proper tires and driving skill (of which I have both). 1. Your Mustang will not appreciate in value. Even if it' a Shelby...

    info center mpg average

    My new '11 GT is showing me about 16.5 average for a tank (after 1.5 tanks). It's mostly city driving, and the car has 400 miles on it. I hope it gets better. And it's not like I'm beating on it...it's 20 degrees out! My '07 averaged 21mpg on a tank, but I think there may have been some more...

    2010+ HIDs are UGLY as heck!!!

    I just noticed that the turn signals on the non-HID are inboard, and on the HID cars they are outboard. Interesting. That said, I have them on my car (not by choice...I didn't order the car, but it had other crap I wanted), and I like them. They look great on a black car and they perform way...

    Honest difference between the 3.55's and 3.73's?

    I have an '11 with 3.73s. My 2007 had 3.55s. The major difference is that one was a 5-speed stick, the new car is a 6-speed stick. Both cars do 70mph on the highway in top gear at 2250rpm. In the '07, that would net me between 28-31 mpg for strict highway driving...so I'm hoping for the same...

    SVT Package up $500 for 2012. But why?

    Inflation. Aka, the devaluation of the dollar.

    Which is faster a 2011 5.0 in a manual or automatic trans?

    You should be asking this question instead: Which is more fun to drive? A manual or automatic? Imagine the excitement of sitting there while the car shifts for you! Sure, it may be quicker with a tune, but it's pretty boring to drive around town.

    2011 GT Shifting Issue

    I just picked up my '11 on 12/30/10. I have a 401A premium with 3.73s, and the ice cold aluminum shift knob :). Right now in Detroit it's 23 degrees. When the car is cold and I'm shifting from 1-2 at a moderately slow speed, I get a slight "crunch" as it goes into gear. I had the same...

    Got my CAI and Bama tunes today...

    Chris, Thanks for your detailed reply!! Sorry you were a few days late, but I still appreciate it, and now I have a NEW question! I sent back the intake, as it won't work with the 5.0, but I kept the tuner. What do I need to do (and how much?) to get it to work with my new Mustang 5.0? Can...

    What's the widest tire that will fit on 18" 2011/12 rim?

    I had a set of OEM GT500 wheels on my 07. They were 18 x 9.5 and had 285s on the back. Are you sure a stock 8 inch wide rim will take that wide of a tire? I'm not doubting you, I'm just kinda excited...as... My new car has the Brembo wheel, which is 19 x 9.0...and comes with a 255/40/19. I...

    Got my CAI and Bama tunes today...

    So my plan was to install my CAI/Tunes over New Year's weekend. Well, that plan has changed considerably. Instead, I'm going with the following: 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 (401A) Black, Brick Red Interior with Cashmere Stripe HIDs 6MT with 3.73 gears Comfort Pkg. Security Pkg. Brembo...

    Rust bubble

    I have pretty large bubbles under my hood. One is on the leading edge, so you can see it with the hood closed. I also have small ones on both doors and the trunk edge (all inside). The dealer wanted $650 to fix all of it, but they weren't gonna spray the whole hood, just blend it up I think...
