    Warning: Upgrading Guage Cluster

    If I recall correctly that was the warning 05stangkc (the parts manager for a Ford store in Central Cali) provided in a post on another forum. If I recall he indicated that after a certain date the cars did not include that particular wire bundle and that perspective upgraders should check...

    Handles like a crippled elephant

    The review simply shows the bias of the reviewer... The reviewer seems to gloat over the fact that the Mustang burns some gasoline... but glosses over the fact that the Mustang is a Muscle car from a long line of muscle cars. If you look further through the web site you'll see that the site...

    Just got a "real" Mustang!

    Too late dude... I suspect this thread is heading towards rock bottom. Hopefully Doc GTO will keep things from getting too down and dirty. It's sad that people are soooo fixated on raw horsepower and lose sight of a cars lineage. After all unless they're hanging out at the track much of that...

    Just got a "real" Mustang!

    Wouldn't that be like someone making reference to the likeness and name of a deceased musician with a long rap sheet, a history of drug abuse, and a few well publicized sexual kinks in their profile? My G*d Sawman, Rick James was pretty good in his day but wouldn't it be better to associate...

    Just got a "real" Mustang!

    I have great respect for some really cool GT owners I know who frequent other forums. They have hot cars but are still willing to give V-6's the same degree of respect. Mustangs are hot cars regardless of the powerplant. Some Mustang owners, on the other hand, just need to open their eyes and...

    Just got a "real" Mustang!

    Somehow I suspect much of this thread is :OT:!! I like the Mobile-Ease kit just fine. It's not quite as full featured as I would have liked it to be but it does the job. I've had good success pairing and unpairing phones mid-connection (when I'm getting into and out of the car). The sound...

    Just got a "real" Mustang!

    Nah Kev... he's not a dick. He's just got the Eastern Kentucky version of the "Dukes of Hazzard" mindset.

    Is anyone else sick of this...

    My friend... we can only hope this will happen some day. Sadly I doubt it'll be in my lifetime but ya never know...

    How does the new Mustang compare?

    Personally I've driven in a vette and a stang so I can't comment in detail on the Viper. In my opinion I think that if price wasn't the object I'd give the nod to the vette for fit and fitment... To the Viper for raw power... and to the 'stang for being the most dynamic, resilliant, and...

    Is anyone else sick of this...

    Personally I think the whole GT versus V-6 thing is stupid. A part of it stems from that "Dukes of Hazzard" mindset where faster is always better. In this day and age the only place where faster is better is on the track. On the highways however the top end speed of the GT also gets you more...

    05 GT VS SR-71 Blackbird

    :lol: I dunno what your friend must've been thinking... One of my former CO's was a Blackbird pilot and from what he told me those planes were pretty slow on the taxiway. The GT could get a heck of a early lead and that might just be enough to put away the SR-71 quick! :owned:

    Buying a V6

    Lets assume for a moment that, after taxes, dealer prep, and all that stuff, it costs you $27,500 for your car. Lets further assume that you're planning to put down $4,000 and have excellent credit (which translates into an interest rate of 5%). If you opt for a 48 month loan your monthly...

    couldn't find 05 Wiring Kit so I did it my self..New Deck Installation.

    I think he's referring to the subs in the doors.

    Installed Ford Racing Exhaust

    The Ford Racing site has a caveat that seems to apply to most things they're selling. The caveat states "not legal for sale or use on pollution-controlled motor vehicles". If they weren't street legal, based on this caveat, one would surmise that they couldn't sell the part to you in the first...

    Installed Ford Racing Exhaust

    I'm told that Ford Racing also makes dual's for the V-8. I assume they're likely similar though I've never seen them. No performance increase noticed yet. Of course its only been installed since Thursday... :-D One last sound clip... from more than 12 feet away. Ford Racing Exhaust -...

    When should I buy?

    If the dealer tells you 6 to 8 weeks then I'd recommend you plan for a 12 to 16 week wait. 05 GT's will likely be difficult if not impossible to get at this point (unless, of course, it happens to be sitting on the lot). If you're thinking that a V-6 is more in line with your budget than...

    Installed Ford Racing Exhaust

    Here's a somewhat so-so audio clip of the Ford Racing Exhaust. I apologize for the sound quality but the best digital sound recorder I could find on short notice is in my MP3 player, a PNY Vibe. :D The first 20 seconds or so of the clip are useless but I have no sound editing software...

    Installed Ford Racing Exhaust

    On my agenda to do for the weekend. I tried creating a sound clip early this morning but my impromptu digital recorder wasn't cooperating with me. I'll try to "borrow" something a bit more user friendly and try it again on Saturday or Sunday.

    Installed Ford Racing Exhaust

    Installation was pretty straightforward though I did have a bit of trouble with that spot weld holding the bracket to the stock exhaust. The Ford Racing exhaust sounds awesome. It has a deep, throaty, growl thats not overpowering yet sounds 1000% better than stock. I'd say the sound is...

    Aluminum Door Sill?

    Either way will work. I ordered mine through Kevin Casey (05stangkc) over on TMS. He's the parts manager for a Ford shop in central California.
