    WTF is the Deal with Clarkson

    Clarkson knows his stuff, but this faux pas is hilarious! I wouldn't be surprised if there was a clip somewhere of him eating crow, after that blunder. Most of his scathing comments on US cars are, unfortunately, fairly accurate. Driving a V6 and complaining that his V8 doesn't have any oomph...

    Any Predictions For GT500 price dropping?

    Just sit tight - dealers are the last group who'll tell you "Sure, the price'll drop next year. Keep your money for now, come back in six and offer me $20K less than I'm asking for today...". Most buyers being scared off by ADM's will fall into one of two categories - gone for something else...

    Hood Scoop Problem

    Didn't see any put-downs, just info...:shrug:

    Hood Scoop Problem

    Flying Scoop Also, think on why they'd block non-functional scoops. They'd probably look much cooler unblocked, right? My Roush scoop is blocked, close to the front, the older (pre 05) scoop were blocked in the same way. I'm guessing that the reason is to prevent a large pocket of...

    Damaged Rims? LA area repairer.

    I remember a few threads a while back asking about where to get damaged rims fixed. Well, I got a flat a few weeks back and put a fairly bad flat spot on my rim. After much searching, found these guys in Baldwin Park, CA - http://www.wheelsusainc.com/ Their website is kinda plain (I think...

    roush drag pack

    Yeah, but it sounds like, from the article at least, this is a very limited offering. You're right, the parts probably would be of broad interest, but the LE Stage3? I haven't read/heard owt on the parts by themselves...

    Visibility Issues with Quarter Window Scoops?

    By "functional", I'm sure all that was implied was "louvered" (right, H Stang?). I can say that the louvered ones do restrict viz, but not prohibitively so (at least, the Roush ones don't).

    roush exhaust + ? midpipe= good sound

    Replacing the mid-pipe definately DOES wake it up. I went with the Magnaflow hi-flo cat's xpipe and the car can finally set off the alarms of cars parked too closely/in confined parking areas, just like my 2002 Gt did!

    I think my clutch exploded…

    I assume you're talking mechanics only? This board is awash with common issues on the 05+ Mustangs - the slow gas fill and skipping Shaker being prime examples. Also, I've met people who get pissed about these issues, but don't do anything about them, so Service Depts see less action than...

    Avoid the Diablosport for the 05 +

    That sucks. I wonder what happened to make the Predator mess up like that. I've tuned my car and changed settings a bunch of times with my Predator, and it's never given me any issues. I've also reset to the factory tune without issue. I'd be interested to know if anyone here knows how PCM...

    If you've had your fuel tank replaced, please read...

    Do you drive it hard - mostly in town? At 16 gals. that's about 14 miles a gallon, which isn't great, but not way off, especially if (like me) you like to put the foot down when that light turns green. I do about 50/50 town/freeway and my mpg is currently reading 17.9.

    If you've had your fuel tank replaced, please read...

    I had the same issue when my tank was replaced - I'd get to a 1/2 tank, then it would cut-off. This only happened 2 or 3 times, and only in the first couple of weeks after the fix. Been over a year with the new tank and it fills perfectly at any gas-station. Can I ask - is everyone still...

    Used GT prices are ridiculous....

    Man, I watched and waited as that d@mned concept became the production model. Saw it at the dealer and went in, expecting the worse. Imagine my SHOCK and AMAZEMENT as I saw the sticker of $26,750. After putting any thoughts of "dealer mark-up" right to bed, I went right on and bought the...

    Clarkson rants on Americans and Mustang

    Holy cow! Is that correct??? I know that until I was 15, the only non-whites I saw were the few Chinese from our local restaurants (seriously!), but then I grew in BF Nowhere (Brechin - look it up, a "city" of 7,000ish:rlaugh: ), but having moved around the UK quite a bit before moving to the...

    Clarkson rants on Americans and Mustang

    Don't sweat the junk-journalism! It's always a shame to see such close cousins at each others throats - the bottom line is, the US and the UK have more in common, culturally speaking, than is at first obvious. Both countries have a swagger that grates, which is probably why Brits and Yanks are...
