    Authenticity...

    I'd have to see more of it, but that doesn't feel right. Perhaps it's a 95 Cobra, if so, they made a typo. Every 96-98 had tail lights that went up/down. Let's then assume it's a 95 Cobra. To my recollection, 94-95 Cobras should have said MUSTANG for the rear bumper, different from the GT's...

    For what it's worth, they've changed their stance on modifications, to a point. Before, it was something like, if we can tell you've played with the car, we can deny everything. Now, it's somewhat along the lines of, sure, you've got a CAI, but your trunk leaking is probably not related to it...

    What would you consider essential?

    Essential? For me, it's easy, Manual Transmission and a V8, the rest can be easily added, modified, or stripped. I love these s550's, and while I'm sure they could provide exactly what I want, like a GT4, they are under no obligation to do it at a price point that I want (muuuuuch less than...

    2008 mustang GT tire size visual help

    You're going to have some fun shifting from metric to imperial, but in short, the first number is your rim size, or the inner diameter of the tire, which doesn't have any wiggle room. the second number is the rim width, so 18x10. Easy, because we like inches. Too bad your tires don't :)...

    Bought a new car.

    Dig that red, bigtime. Makes me kinda wish that white Mustangs weren't my thing.

    New member 2019 GT

    Welcome welcome. You're right about it being a great deal, had a guy in a GT350 having a hard time catching up on the track, and he swore I had cams. Put it in track mode and beat the stuffing out of it, you'd be surprised how much more is hidden in there. Not much else to do, as the Bullitt...

    Performance pack brake question

    I'd guess you'd be fine with the 6 piston Brembos from the Performance Pack. I did just that and the difference between that and the stock is night and day, especially if you track the car, probably not so much if you autocross, and likely even less if you drag. For the rears, you should be...

    Wheels-Tires Please help, advice needed.

    They will fit just fine. My dealer had put optional 255/40/19's on mine when I bought it.

    NOT AGAIN!!!!!

    Ain't gonna lie, that sucks. Been there too, had a BMW that did that, spent 4500 or so on the tires, had the car in the shop on a monthly basis, and a set of cracked rims put me over the top. I wouldn't say your car was cursed, but, I wouldn't not say it's cursed.

    Tire size for Velgen Split5 Wheel 20"X9" And 20"X10.5"

    Mps 4s are good tires too, depends on what you're looking for, and what you're doing. I think mps4s you can go 255/30 and 295/30, which should have a 27" tire diameter (so your speedo is still dead on) and still fit pretty nice. Anything taller or shorter will start knocking it off. Rears like...

    Tire size for Velgen Split5 Wheel 20"X9" And 20"X10.5"

    Another good reference is Tire Rack, and to further illustrate I Bleed's point, here's what I had to deal with the other day: All of these are 305/30r20's, but tread width vary from 11.1 to 11.7, because Ferrari, Audi, Porsche, Mercedes, and Ford asked Michelin for a tire specially made for...

    OEM Wheels/Tires questions - 2017 GT

    They're 19x9 if they're the 5 spokes with the lil' split between them, and I had 255/40/19 Pirelli PZero. They're alright, but sacrifice some grip in exchange for longer tread life.

    Out with the old, in with the new

    AI is American Iron, which is your Camaros, Corvettes, and Mustangs, some others like Challengers too. You've got a certain weight to power ratio, and it's decently well supported in this region. X is extreme, limits gone. Mine is a 19, but yeah same boat. I know the SN95 inside and out, paid...

    Out with the old, in with the new

    Great choice, other than the model year, we're practically twins! :) As for me, I'm transforming mine into a mostly track days car. Don't know if I have the heart to start gutting a brand new car for something like SCCA TA2 or NASA AIX, that, and my Ford dealership might look really, really...

    Mini vs mustang

    Great vid! It's like most track weekends, those BRZ/86/Miata's usually do that. ... well, until you upgrade your suspension. Mwa-hahaha.
