    Big block swap

    I had a FFR Cobra with a built 302 and a manual 5 spd and it was really fast at only 2250 lbs. That would be fun with a nice 460 in it - the beefy 4-inch tube frame is good for up to around 800-850 hp. Fun car but not very practical, had mine four years and sold it. Scared the you know what...

    CORROSION!!!

    Interesting. I never realized, until this thread, that we had aluminum hoods even though my 04 F-150 has an aluminum hood. Guess I need to take a good look at the underside to see what everyone is talking about. Is the trunk lid aluminum also?

    2007 Mustang Shelby GT price

    Is this a previous Hertz rental car? Black with silver stripes is their colors I think. If so, I wouldn't touch it. Guess why someone would rent that (if it was , in fact, a Hertz)... Know that doesn't answer your Q, just a thought.

    I really like my Stang!!

    Ok, had it three months now and like it more every day. First Mustang I have ever owned. I've had lots of Detroit iron over the years and some nice German stuff (BMW/Porsches/MBs), this is the best combo of retro, go, handle and looks. I was around when the Shelby GT-350s were developed (had...

    Does dealership put in syn oil automatically?

    I thought I read that my 08 came with synthetic oil. Haven't had my first oil change yet, but I'm about due. (My 2000 E320 MB came with syn oil and the MB dealership has always put syn in it from day one.) Will they put in synthetic oil automatically?

    So, for the rest of us, what exactly happened to the tranny mount? What do you mean torn up?

    GTA SS mufflers can rust through???

    But the GTAs are stainless steel (SS). That is why the cost so much.

    GTA SS mufflers can rust through???

    I just installed GTAs on my car about a week ago. Then just yesterday I read an individual (on another Mustang forum) that said his GTAs rusted through in just two years and he was looking around for replacements. These things are FFRP 409 (hope I have the number right) stainless steel. Given...

    Mycolor for those without the harness

    I had mine upgraded to the 4 gauge/my color by a Ford dealership and it cost me $458 total, parts and labor. Works perfect. (I had the pigtale behind the dummy switch plate.) I mostly did it for the other two gauges and the message center, the My Color was a little icing on the cake. Glad I...

    tranny mount?

    When you say it's torn up, what exactly is wrong with it? Is it rubber or poly?

    Break in Period

    My new leftover 08 now has all of around 2k miles on it and yes it frequently clanks when letting out the clutch unless you match revs very closely. Can't believe they'd build a car in this day and age that does that. I have driven lots of stick cars over my long 62 years and this is a first...

    Brand new 09 Mustang smoking

    My new 08 came with synthethic oil in it. Assuming yours does too, what if you switched to regular dino oil to help seat the rings. Then if that works, switch back at some later date. Granted Ford should fix this without you having to do anything. If they refused and lemon law for some...

    Brand new 09 Mustang smoking

    A half a quart in 800 miles is not normal. I don't care what anyone else says. I have a 2004 F150 that only has 24K miles on it in 5 years (bought it new). Mostly only short trips as I live only about a mile from where I work, no oil burning. Same with my 2000 E320 Mercedes (wife drives)...

    Shelby GT Muffler Question

    I just installed these same mufflers a week ago. They didn't look to be slip on to me. In all my research of these mufflers, never ran across anything that indicated that the tips could be anything but welded on to the mufflers.

    Brand new 09 Mustang smoking

    I think you need to actually read the lemon law in your state. Can't believe you don't have rights under it - that's why it was created. Don't let them push you around. Be polite but firm, don't burn any bridges at this point. Also I would start documenting every meeting with them - who...

    Brand new 09 Mustang smoking

    What a bunch of crap. I have a new 08 with less than 2k miles on it and it doesn't smoke. Lemon Law maybe. I'd get real serious with them real quick. Don't even let them head this direction....

    GTA axle back mufflers good choice?

    Interesting that all the welds looked very good to me - I did examine them after reading about crappy welds on this forum. (And I have done lots of welding over the years).

    Outlawing dark colored cars in Ca?

    I read the other day about some proposed legislation where the Calif Air Resources Board (CAB) is considering banning the selling of black and other very dark colored cars in CA. (I kid you not!) What next for this dumb state?? As dark absorbs more of the suns rays, it heats the car body...
