    How do you raise the passenger seat in an 06?

    That is also the only complaint that I've ever heard from a passenger in my 07 GT. They all say that they can't see out. Doesn't bother me, so I don't worry about it. I'm personally only 5'6", and have my power drivers seat in the lowest position it will go. I don't have a problem seeing...

    update on my stang

    Damn, those pictures really make me wish I had a better job so that I could afford a garage.... Beautiful work. I assume it's mostly fiberglass you're dealing with? Either way, keep it up! And Kooldawg6, that purple looks surprisingly good. Not quite as cool as the old Plum Crazy Mopars...

    s197 cougar

    I think it'd be cool to have one, but I seriously doubt we'll ever see one. Personally, I'd love to see a new modern cougar XR-7, with some retro styling, but I don't think there are enough die hard Cougar fans to make it worth while. Mustangs, Camaro, and Challenger have some very dedicated...

    rear suspension chatter?

    I seriously doubt it, but it could be the rear end backlash. When test driving my GT, and my father was driving ( it had been 20+ years since he drove stick), the rear end clunked when shifting. When I drove it, the clunking wasn't there.... you just have to know how to drive a manual tranny...

    How long?

    Personally, I'd wait at least two weeks to do it, going by my completely uneducated guess. That being said, I believe that Summit and Jegs sell a clear plastic stick on protector for your rear quarters. Slap it on and no one can see it unless you're right up close. do your huge burnout, then...

    Official Super Snake GT500--production version!!!! * PICS *

    Indeed it does say "GT 50%". Quite funny So slightly unrelated, but does anyone know when the Smart car or roadster is actually coming to the States? Seems like they've been talking about it for 5 years, with no progress.....

    Come on people, lets keep it civilized out there!

    For me, that's fine, as long as it's functional. If those ducts are leading to an aftermarket cold air, and it's backed by a good tuner.... that's fine in my book. On the other hand, if this is a stock car, and they bought this "cold air kit" off eBay... I'd say they have some learning to...

    My new ride

    Nice looking! I personally couldn't own a white car, but that looks great. I especially like the way the side molding blends into the rear side scoops. Looks quite nice, even though it isn't functional..... I'm also glad to see a GT/CS without a spoiler. I'd have to say the the most...

    Sequential Turn Signals

    I've wondered the same thing... I'd love to have them, but only if the sequential feature works just for the turn signals. If hitting the brakes also made the lights sequence out, there is no way I'd do it. There are plenty of kits out there, but none of them specify this. Perhaps both Marine...

    wheels...yes or no?

    Personally, I think they're a little too "bling bling" for a mustang. If you were driving a lexus, it'd be different. But living in Richmond VA (trashy ghetto capital of the east), I'm a little sick of any chrome wheels. If they're tasteful... that's fine. But if they are $10k, twenty inch...

    Arrogant Dealer

    I'll agree that I hate most dealers. They are useless in general. But, I have to put in a good word for the dealer I bought mine from. Good guy, and gave me the car for $1,700 under invoice! Granted, it is a GT with very few options, but I still bought it for less than they bought it for...

    Hurst Short Throw getting HOT

    Being completely stock, I also notice a good amount of heat coming through the shifter. When stuck in traffic, a good amount of heat also makes it through the firewall and floor as well.

    my mustang update

    Sucks that the guy didn't work out for you..... but holy ****, who taught you how to type/spell? Perhaps the guy just didn't know what you were talking about.... I know that I had a tough time trying to decipher what you were talking about.

    Putting drag radials on the car, quick question involing torque wrench

    In my experiance, wheel studs require relatively high torque, and aren't exatly sensitive. If you crank it down tight, I'd be willing to bet you'll be fine. Granted don't go wailing on your breaker bar, but tighten it until it "feels right". I'm italian, and never follow a recipe, but I know...

    Aux Button - What is this for?

    I don't think the 05's had it, but the 07's have a headphone jack mounted in the console under the arm rest, to plug in any MP3 player. Comes in pretty handy at times, but I usually stick to my sirius. I'm almost positive that the head unit is the same, but the input jack wasn't added till...

    Wash & Wax Recommendations

    Typically, I like all the products from mother's. I used to be a Maguire's guy, until I was a friend "showed me the light". Mother's products are without a doubt the best you can get at Autozone or the like. Their "show time finish" looks and smells so good that sometimes I'm tempted to drink...

    Let's Show off Our Metalflakes

    I love the flake in my vista blue. In the right sunlight you can see about 7 different colors on the car. Just beautiful.... I can't wait to see it once I buy my Zaino polish system. Love my vista blue... I've had more compliments on the color than I ever expected. Even when I take my car...

    COMPETITION

    I haven't seen any at the track either, and only a few around town. There is one that I see every few days that tries to play with me on the street. It is a well disguised silver, plain looking charger, but I think he has some serious work done. Every time I see him around town, he'll goose...

    Just some recent pics of the car....

    Let me start with my one and only complaint.... the TV in the trunk lid. Personally, I just don't see the point. But to each his own, and if you like it, that's all that matters. That being said, I think the car looks awesome! Veru nice job all around on everything. One question though...

    Touch up paint

    I got rear ended about three weeks ago too. Some dumb bitch on a cell phone hit me at 25, didn't even hit the brakes. Weird thing is, when I took it in to the Ford body shop to get it fixed, the first thing the manager said was "wow, another vista blue...... seems like the vista is a magnet...
