    12.87 Bone Stock

    Very impressive, I knew it wouldn't be that hard to get the new Camaro into the 12s. I recall a so-called "12-second" club for 4th gen LS1 F-bodies for supposedly bone-stock cars that ran in the 12s (just barely into the 12s obviously). If I recall, the list included A4 (automatic) cars, but...

    3 teens destroy 2010 mustang on test drive

    One of the Ford dealerships here have a policy where a salesperson must accompany you on a test drive with a Mustang GT, most likely to you as the test driver do not bag the car and to prevent you from getting into situations that leads to things like this particular story. I also wouldn't...

    Should I just disconnect the dash speakers?

    For anyone that owns a Fox-body Mustang, you will be aware of the 3-1/2" speakers located at the top corners of the dashboard. My are getting kind of worn-out from age and I was wondering if I should even bother replacing them. Here are a few reasons why: 1) I've noticed that there are...

    Has anyone tried this tire size?

    I've heard on pre-91 Fox bodies, the different fender type prevents fairly wide wheels and tires from being installed. 17" Cobras are a common wheel upgrade on a lot of Fox bodies, yet the correct size that maintains factory tire height (245/45R17) comes with the problem of rubbing. Using...

    BBK SSI Intake Warning

    I vaguely remember a while back someone else mentioning a dangerous flaw in the SSI intake, possibly here on Stangnet, too. You probably aren't the first one, Strype.

    Convertible roof dilemna (potentially ripped-off)

    Last July (of 2008), I replaced the roof on my '92 LX Vert. I purchased a new roof, rear window, and weather stripping. I'll post pics later, but here are a few things I've noticed with the car after it was done: 1. Immediately after I got the car back I noticed that there was a gap almost...

    Hypothetical 4.6L swap in a 4th gen F-body

    Someone else in the 5.0 forums made a good point in that while LS1 (or SBC for that matter) swaps into late model Mustangs are common, any Ford engine into a late model F-bodies are unheard of. http://forums.stangnet.com/7932552-post36.html I believe the point is since the LS1 is swapped...

    2011 may have a Cobra

    I'm directing this to oh9 and I think what I'm about to say has probably been said in this thread already, but oh9, what is your vision of a "Cobra"? For all intents and purposes, the GT500 is essentially the spiritual successor to the Cobra Mustangs of the 90s and early 2000s. It's an...

    Which is stiffer? Hatch or Notch?

    I'll say I searched not only Stangnet for this question but I also went on Google and didn't find any conclusive answers. I remember reading in a magazine years ago (5.0?) that although hatches are heavier they maybe better because they are stiffer. I've heard other people say that also but at...

    Trying to locate a potential electrical short

    It is a brand new bat, the warranty card is still stuck to the side of it.

    Trying to locate a potential electrical short

    Today after work (I work for eight hours) I went to go to my car and try and start it. It didn't even turn over at all, not even the sound of the starter clicking. Nothing electrical in the car worked, not even the horn. I thought initially the battery was dead so I called roadside assistance...

    Conv. Top Problem

    Yeah, that seems to be a huge problem on my '92 LX 5.0. I got the roof and weatherstripping replaced and I'm finding it's actually sealing worse after the replacement.

    will 08 exhaust fit on the 2010?

    It should considering for the most part the changes are subtle. The only concern I'd have is whether the new rear fascia has different positions for the exhaust tips.

    Does Ford think we're Stupid? 315 horse? what the hell!

    I'm a bit skeptical about the power to weight ratio issue. Keep in mind the last time the Mustang and Camaro co-existed (the early 2000s) the Mustang was lighter than the Camaro was still bested by the F-body in terms of straight-line performance. It took the '03-'04 Cobras to finally beat the...

    Bought a Flex A Lite Fan but have a question?

    If you don't have a serpentine belt system, you should be fine. However, since you're posting this here I assume you do have one and are wondering if you should still use the part, in that case I'll defer you to the next poster in this thread.

    What do '96-'98 Cobra's normally sell for in Western Canada?

    I don't think higher-than-normal prices you see on used Mustangs (when compared to a lot of other cars) is something that is just restricted to Cobras but it seems all late model Mustangs are like that. If you think low 20s is too much for a '01 Cobra Gearbanger, a lot of '99-'04 GTs are going...

    Mustang fuel tank safety?

    I definitely agree it's impossible to eliminate the risk of a post-crash fire (such as through fuel tank puncture). But if you had two cars where one had its tank leak 3 in 10 crashes and the other leaked 7 in 10, you would obviously take the first car into account for safety. Fact is...

    Mustang fuel tank safety?

    Out of curiosity, if the car would've ignited, what do you think your chances would've been?
