    2010 Auto...no burnout?

    Yeah, this is my fifth Mustang and the only one that hasn't been overly easy to break the tires loose with!! I actually like the AdvanceTrac for everyday driving but it can get scary and weird if you're performance driving and used to being able to spin tires or throw the back end out on a...

    2010 Auto...no burnout?

    OK Undisputed! You're 100% right....put it in 1st and it shreds rubber. My only question is why not in 'drive"? Thanks again for the stability control tip! Now I can go back to my regular work commute without caring a about burnouts ;-) ....still want a tuner though!

    2010 Auto...no burnout?

    Don't doubt it.....but since it's impossible to do on the 2010's plus it doesn't make much difference. I tried Undisputed's advice and can break the tires loose in an underwhelming way...I'm used to loss of rear wheel traction being EASY to obtain. ..not the other way around. Keep the...

    2010 Auto...no burnout?

    Wow.....so sensitive about neutral drops. For crap's sake....I did it once to induce a burnout...the rpms weren't THAT high, and the fact it didn't work leads me to believe I didn't fry the transmission with gear thrashing torque! :-) -I'm pretty sure it says stabilitrack off by just pushing...

    Dead pedals

    My Lloyd mats are arriving next week...I'll let you know how it goes with the Drake pedal... UPDATE: I got the Lloyd "GT" mats (they're fantastic!) and the driver's mat fit under my Drake dead pedal just fine. It was tight and I had to start at the top and pull it down and sideways to fit...

    2010 Auto...no burnout?

    Yeah feels great otherwise. I had a 2008 5spd....hated the Tremec. After taking it out again for some experimentation tonight...I found it WILL break the tires loose. -Just not in a violent tire smoking (or axle hopping like with my 2008 GT) sort of a way. It could be due in part to the...

    2010 Auto...no burnout?

    Is this for real? I can stand on my 2010 auto (with or without brake applied, neutral drop shift, etc) and it won't break the tires loose or do a very wimpy chirp even with traction control off. Is this caused by the torque management and will a custom tune fix it (I hope?) ? thanks!

    Dealer ripping me off on 10' trade in FOR 11' stang!

    Why don't you just keep it for a couple more years and get the 2012 or 2013 which will likely be a better car than the 2011...and any faults with the new engine or accessories will be worked out by then. Shame it's an automatic? Have you driven the Tremec 5spd? What a crap...

    A problem with my 2010 GT...A little help - Please!

    The cold air intake makes a whooshing sound but only when you're on the gas. You're saying it whooshes at 60mph constant? Are you sure it isn't your air vents? What's your setting on the climate control? I put premium in my 2010 and went back to regular. I noticed a slight increase in...

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    Do the 2010's get the most unbelieveably horrible gas mileage off the lot, or what??? Mine got 12 the first week I drove it, went up to 14 in another week, a couple of months later it went up to a pretty consistent 17, and now I'm starting to creep up to around 18mpg in mixed (mostly in town)...

    2010+ HIDs are UGLY as heck!!!

    Well, you're certainly entitled to your opinion...but I like them. I had HIDs on my 2008 too and although they looked nearly the same as the non HID lights (don't know what The Fang is talking about...not much difference in appearance on the pre 2010s ??) they aren't nearly as good as the...

    my 2011 gt

    I think it looks great without the wing (I went out of my way to get my 2008 and then my 2010 WITHOUT a wing).

    Option my 2011!

    Well, mine's a lowly 2010 but the things I like the most and that are the most appreciated in daily driving are the "premium stuff". I love the striped leather seats, shaker 1K, premium interior, etc...most of my driving is sitting in traffic or stuck behind other cars, driving through...

    Dead pedals

    I went with the Drake pedal. It's very good quality and seemed to fit fine on my 2010. I was a little nervous about routing the wiring harness that ran right by the attachment bolt behind the kick panel (didn't want to pinch it or get it caught when mounting the dead pedal) but the install...

    2011 V6 Test Drive ... AWESOME!

    Really? It depends on what criteria you use for "the best"!:rolleyes: I think you are missing the point that with rebates and incentives from dealers to get the 2010's off the lot you can get a bigger/better (or at least with proven reliability and not a completely new unproven design) motor...

    2011 V6 Test Drive ... AWESOME!

    Ha Ha...last time I checked I wasn't a chick...and I drive an auto...albeit a V8! FWIW, I had a manual in my 08 and prefer the 10 with an auto. I talked to the guys at Bama and was told a bone stock Auto GT with custom tune will absolutely kill a bone stock GT Manual with custom tune...and I...

    2011 V6 Test Drive ... AWESOME!

    You'd be buying a year old car...with a V8 and GT options ;-) The upgrade costs 5 grand because it's a V8...it's a premium engine...and it's the fastest GT Mustang made to date. The 5.0 will hold its value great for years since it's the hottest new thing right now...the V6 will depreciate and...

    2011 V6 Test Drive ... AWESOME!

    There are options you can get with the GT that you CAN'T w/ the V6 though. Bigger wheels, shaker 1000 stereo, striped leather seats, etc. I'd go (I did do this) the 2 or 2.5K route and take advantage of the current discounts, incentives, and desire for dealers to get rid of last years...

    Decisions, decisions, 18's or 20's?

    I think 19"s are the best looking on the S-197s and a good compromise between performance and ride quality.

    2011 V6 Test Drive ... AWESOME!

    Muscle car?...who cares? Great car?...absolutely! Able to eat 05+ V8s for breakfast lunch and dinner?...exaggerated. Rickmaan1 said it very well and I agree with 98% of what he said. I think my 2008 GT was a bit of a muscle car though. It would only shift into gear when warm and it...
