    Should i be disappointed?

    That's a pretty wide open question. Was this your first time at the track? What was your 60' time? Stock tires, slicks, or ???? What was your launch method? Auto or manual? If manual, do you have experience with it? I could probably ask a ton more questions but, IMHO, if you are sort...

    Floor Mat Question

    My solution only cost about $15.00 and the carpet matches the factory fronts perfectly and after trimming they fit perfectly. For $15.00 is wasn't worth worrying about.

    Floor Mat Question

    I had the same options on my GT and they didn't come with it either. I just went to Wally World and found a nice set of black carpet rear mats that were the correct width and then I trimmed them to fit between the seat rails. I cut them so that they fit under the plastic trims and they look great.

    08 GT transmission noise

    Just a reminder, Tremec transmissions are a quality transmission and are not just a Ford thing. They are installed OEM in GM and Chrysler products along with Ford.

    Friend bought an R35 Skyline

    Don't forget that all new cars sold have a 'black box' that records all driver functions like speed, braking and so on. They have been used to clear people but they can also be used to convict you. The insurance industry has been trying to get access to the info for years for litigations from...

    My 2009 Bullitt Test Drive

    That's a really odd comment. I've owned a 2001 GT and a 1985 GT (along with many other Mustangs) and to me there is no comparison between those and the S197's. My 07 GT is tighter, more solid (less flex), handles better, is quicker and is just plain a better car in every way than any of those...

    Okay, I give up. What is an "Outlaw Edition" GT :shrug: We must be approaching 1,000 different special edition S197's pretty soon.

    Hertz Rental

    Most rental cars get flogged and beat to within an inch of death. No one takes care of a rental. Pot hole? Go right through the middle. Curb? What curb? Speed bumps? Let me see how fast can I go over them. People beat the crap out of rentals and that's why they are noisy and ride so bad.

    Hi, I'm new

    Welcome to the wonderful world of Mustangs! You're going to love driving that pony. I really like your Bronco :nice: That is my favorite body style Bronco and I especially like them with the rear fender cut-outs and flares like you have. They should have come that way from the factory in the...

    what options make it "Premium" ?

    I forgot to answer your question about the VIN. A GT coupe will have T82 in positions 5 through 7 of the VIN. A GT convertible will have T85 in those positions. The VIN itself won't determine a Premium from a plain Deluxe. On the door jamb Certification Label you can find many of the color, trim...

    Got a look at it.......

    They look freaking HUGE in person compared to how normal size they look in magazines. Park you Mustang next to a Chrysler 300 and that is how it looks beside a new Challenger. Sorry, but although the style concept was good the end result is sized more like a barge and not a pony car as it was...

    Heard Ford might be SOLD on CNBC

    Subwaytrain, thanks for that very enlightening post, it completely confirms what I've been saying.

    Heard Ford might be SOLD on CNBC

    Subwaytrain, mommy is calling and it's time to put on your pj's, turn out the lights and go to sleep like a good little boy (or girl, whichever it is).

    Heard Ford might be SOLD on CNBC

    Subwaytrain is nothing but a freaking TROLL and everyone is taking his silly bait. He talks down to you and then he shows you the finger and you keep taking him seriously. He probably still lives at home with his mommy and daddy, reads comic books and the closest thing he has to a real job is...

    Comfortable aftermarket seats?

    I must be lucky or something. I've taken several very long trips in the GT and I find the seats to be very comfortable, much better than my company car, a Chrysler 300 w/ leather.

    odor

    No problem. Just eat a big bowl of chili with lots of beans and then have another big bowl for desert. Wait a little bit and then take a nice long ride with the windows up and the a/c on recirculating. The 'new car' smell will be a thing of the past :D

    odor

    Open the hood and remove the plastic cowling on the passenger side and you will see it. The owners manual also explains how to replace it. No matter what I would check it. Just spraying some air freshener into the a/c is just a quick way to hide the odor and won't do a thing long-term.
