    New Car, Couple of Questions

    Get the interior upgrade package- the best option for the price. :nice: Don't get the shaker 1000 or the nav- both are way too expensive. Get the Shaker 500 and upgrade to an aftermarket nav unit (AVIC-D3). Otherwise, it's a matter of personal taste: spoiler, tranny, color, leather, etc??

    My Mustang in the shop at 1,800 miles

    Do you have the active anti-theft from the factory? Not that it applies to you but my dealership said that it can cause battery issues if the car sits for a while. Are any of your electronics not wired correctly? I have a DVD player in the F350 that drains the battery after 2 weeks- had to...

    2008 Shelby GT-C Mustang -- Overpriced?

    I think there may have been one SGT owner commenting about the GT500 in that other post. I personally think the GT500's are awesome. BUT- I don't need 500 hp on a daily basis, and the 500's look horrible without being lowered, plus the stocker rims are ugly. If you buy an SGT and...

    2008 Shelby GT-C Mustang -- Overpriced?

    And most of you didn't realize that there are very expensive brakes and rims on that car- mods from Shelby in Vegas.. :nonono:

    2008 Shelby GT-C Mustang -- Overpriced?

    OMG. CAN WE PLEASE STOP DISCUSSING WHETHER SHELBY'S ARE OVERPRICED??? :mad: It is seriously going too far. Shelby's will ALWAYS be Shelby's, and GT's and V6's will always be GT's and V6's. :rolleyes: Just keep on cloning..

    Does the GT 500 suck?!?

    $110 an hour is ridiculous. :notnice: Why would any new car, GT500 or GT require any out-of-pocket money- shouldn't warranty cover everything buy routine maintenance? :shrug:

    Does the GT 500 suck?!?

    :notnice: :notnice: :notnice: :mad: :mad: :mad: Carrol Shelby should slap you right now.. :nonono: Your only complaint about the Shelby is the hood scoop? Any of the owners that have issues with the scoops are getting them replaced for free.. For the price of the package you are...

    Interior color ?

    A black interior is charcoal. Whether you order cloth or leather, every part of the interior will be charcoal (even those door panel inserts). If you upgrade to the interior upgrade package (you will want it if you don't) you get your choice of a satin or dark aluminum dash panel.. the latter is...

    Shell Gas

    I've always wondered why people mention 93.. Other than at a commercial station, I had never even heard of it before.. There are some weird things about CA. :notnice:

    Shell Gas

    I don't know if it is :bs: or not. :shrug: However, I do make a point to go to a particular Shell station because I get better mileage.. Crazy, I know. :) I would definately choose Shell over Arco. I don't car what anyone says, Arco is good for rental cars, but not my cars. Plus, their...

    Washing the Engine Bay?

    Also, plan on doing the engine bay BEFORE washing the car. And yes, you will have to wash the car.. unless you don't care about water spots on the fenders. :notnice:

    Washing the Engine Bay?

    On the Shelby, I put a grocery bag over the CAI, the alternator, and the black electrical box on the passenger side (sorry, I can't think of the name right now. :rolleyes:). Then, I lightly rinse the cold or warm engine, NOT hot, with low-pressure. Next, I spray everything (watch your...

    Premium Fuel

    I have to agree with everyone else. As discussed on the Shelby forum, the car will run on the regular, but in a sense, will adjust for the regular fuel, causing the car to run like cr@p. Also, you will lose gas mileage.. There are many other reasons.. but some simple math will really show...

    Doors automatically locking when driving?

    Hmm.. my doors lock immediately after the car starts- in park. :shrug: Car is a manual. If the door is open when I start the car, they do not lock. On my '04 (automatic), it worked exactly the same.. right after the engine starts, the doors lock. So.. I'm glad I have this feature...

    My new '05 V6!!! Problems already?!

    Most of that list is stuff you would do at 100k miles.. not 44k. Get an air filter at Auto Zone or Wal-Mart and easily install it yourself.. The belt.. that shouldn't be due yet.. unless it's cracked. I got 125,000 out of the belt on the F350.. and it still looked fine. My sister got over...

    GT500 or Shelby SC Special Edition?

    Well.. I have an SGT.. so.. Go for the 500.. Those things are just mean. :nice: After seeing the GT500 in "I Am Legend," I would definately go for one. :D But, you will need to buy lowering springs and some prettier rims.. :hide:
