    When Old Tires Go To Heaven

    This is my old 2007 GT. I thought I'd send the original tires off with a little ceremony. :flag:

    Fuel Gt 6 Spd Owners. Whats Your Highway Mpg?

    I did a simple test of 1 hour on the freeway, 70 mph, A/C on (I think). 6-speed manny tranny with 3.73s. I could only pull 22-24 mpg. The car is turning 2,250 rpm in 6th. My 2007 with 3.55s would turn the same rpm in 5th and could squeak 30-32 mpg at 70 when driving for hours. What I find...

    All Seasons...really?

    If it snows in your area, buy snow tires. I have snow tires on my '11 GT and they work great. Six inches of snow? No problem. I have the 19" Pirelli summer tires for (wait for it...) the summer, and if it gets down to around 40 degrees, it's not hard to spin the tires in 2nd gear with a slightly...

    Brembo Brake Squeal

    I have an '11 GT with the Brembo package...10K miles. I notice some rather loud squealing under light braking when driving around time. Pretty much all the time, except when the car was new. If they are squealing and I stab the brakes harder, it goes away. I've driven cars with Hawk HP+ pads...

    Gas Mileage With Tuner

    Updated mileage report: With strict, short commuting trips (my office is 2.5 miles away)..and some stop n' go traffic, I get about 11.5-12.5 mpg with my AM SCT 93 Race tune. If I drive along in city traffic that's moving, I can get around 15 mpg. Kinda a bummer, but....oh well. I don't...

    Gas Mileage With Tuner

    I took a solid, 1 hour drive a few weeks ago. AC was on, 6th gear with 3.73s, 70 mph, fresh MPG reset as I got on the freeway. I'm using a 93 race tune from Bama. The engine was turning 2,250....and I only got 22 MPG!! My 07 GT had 3.55s and I could pull 30mpg at the same rpm over the course...

    Roush Axle Back Rocks!

    I have them on my '11. 6MT w/3.73s too. I'd say at least once a week someone stops to tell me how awesome they sound. Lately it's been Porsche 911 Carrera S owners...usually at the next red light, if you catch my drift. :rolleyes: I will say I'm not sure if I like the "raspy" sound they...

    2011 & 2012-19" Brembo-Tire Pressure

    I would never pay for nitrogen, but they were on my OEM wheels when got the car. I'm smart enough to see a 5psi drop just by looking at a tire. :nice:

    2011 GT Shifting Issue

    What's an SSM? Is that like a TSB? Can you post this info if you have it?

    Aluminum hood oxidation

    Had the same issue on my 2007 GT. It was also found bubbling at the bottom of the doors and trunk lid. I traded it in for a 2011. I noticed that Ford has changed the design of the door/trunk seams where the problem was before, as well as sealing the leading edge of the hood. I think...

    2012 5.0 engine recall?

    You are wrong. My friend put a pulley, intake, tune (chip) and x-over on his '04 Terminator. It puts down 459 to the wheels. A 5.0 with intake and tune will not put down 450 to the wheels.

    what gear do u drive in

    A good place to do this is on freeway on-ramps. Take 2nd gear up to 6K, take 3rd gear up to 6K, take 4th gear up to 6K (and 5th, if you want, lol). This way you'll know what the "max speed" per gear is so when you DO go to rev-match your downshift, you'll know that "yes, 5K in 4th is 80mph" and...

    Two days after owning my 2012 mustang gt, review

    Have an '11 with the 3.73s and a 6MT with Bama 93 Race tune installed (no CAI). The other day on Woodward I rolled out in 1st gear....nailed it and the tires just went bonkers. Redline came in about 2 seconds or less and my tach blinked red (cool feature on the My Color option?). I hit 2nd...

    How many miles did fellow GT owners get from their stock Pirelli 18" tires?

    Looks like my sig now takes up more space/size than my original photo.
