    Traction Control off

    The powerstart feature is pretty cool though. I was having a bad day today, and I had to get on the freeway onramp in downtown, except I was in the far left lane w/the onramp on the far right right after the intersection. I was the first car so I had to quickly dart in front of everyone and...

    03 GT' Dipstick error? TSB?

    It's an 03 GT. Im going to call the dealer after finals and see what's up. They will probably blame my wheels, they'll say since the car is elevated a little more, it causes the oil to seem low. Haha

    What kind of performance loss with 18's?

    Hmmm....I didn't really notice a difference either. I upgraded to 18x9.5 Y2k Cobra R's on 275/35 on all 4-corners. The handling/braking are better, but I get alot of bump-steer when I go on bad roads. Kinda sucks, but o well.

    03 GT' Dipstick error? TSB?

    When I did my oil change today, I filled up 6 qts with a new oil filter, but the oil was barely on the dipstick. Right near the MIN mark. I didn't fill up the 7th quart and did some research, and I guess there is a TSB regarding mis-marked dipsticks for Mustangs. So right now my car has 6 quarts...

    Sagging seat belts! Anyone else have this problem?

    What exactly is a sagging seatbelt? Does it not pull up anymore once the seatbelt is off? Im kinda confused.

    Traction problem w/stock 03' GT?

    Thing is I wasn't launching the car. I just floored it at like 2k rpm and it began to spin.

    Traction problem w/stock 03' GT?

    I hadn't gotten on my car the whole week, so tonight I went on this nice straight onramp and let it rip from about 0-100. I noticed that until about 4k rpm in first the car didn't have much traction, I did a very good shift into 2nd and the car peeled. Now..I have 275/35/18 Kumho Ecsta Supras in...

    Which car is quicker?

    Thx. Yea I figured the Cobra's would be faster. Nothing like revving to 7k on a V8.

    Which car is quicker?

    Out of curiosity, stock vs. stock, how are 99+ GT's compared to 96-98 SVT Cobras? Thanks :flag:

    Bullitt suspension..worth it for a nice drop?

    I want to give my car a nice conservative drop. Nothing too much that'll cause problems, but just something to give it a nicer stance and to get rid of the gap. I looked at gefracing and they have the entire bullitt package w/shocks and struts for 399.00. Seems like a good deal, but im afraid...

    ?s on y2k Cobra R wheels and tire size...

    http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=399838 I have 275/35/18 Cobra R's on all 4-corners. No rubbing problem or anything at all, just that the steering in the front feels a little slow..but it's fine. I just need to the wheels balanced this week.

    Vibration in steering wheel after wheel swap.

    Yea...hopefully it's just the front 2 that need to be balanced. Thing that sucks is that mounting/balancing cost the same as just having the wheels balanced.

    Vibration in steering wheel after wheel swap.

    Hey guys, after I switched to the Cobra R's I noticed that the steering wheel vibrates alot. From about 40-50mph it vibrates and in the freeway at 70mph it also vibrates. It's so bad that the passenger seat also vibrates. My brother had the rims on his Cobra before he sold it, and when he bought...

    Anyone here use Ford Synthetic Blend 5W-20 oil?

    I went to Walmart and they had the oil for 1.81 a qt. I picked up 6 qts and im going to use that. It's cheaper, and it's the oil ford recommends..I don't want them to void my warranty.

    Anyone here use Ford Synthetic Blend 5W-20 oil?

    5,000 miles is coming up, and I already bought a case of Mobil 1 Synthetic, 5W-30 oil, but I was looking over the manual and it said to use Ford Synthetic Blend 5W-20 oil instead. It's much cheaper, and it's what Ford wants us to use. Anyone ever us that kind of oil? Also, is it 100% synthetic...

    03' Cobra..the PERFECT car.

    I would def. loved to have an 03 Cobra..but I just got my 03' GT. Since I pay for the payments I wouldn't be able to afford the 03' Cobra's payments since im only 19. But hey, it's a build up process. My next car will be a Cobra. :)
