    All Hail the Mustang, man I love this car!

    How ever do folks get 26 or 29 mpg? I've driven a flat course like an old lady and only got 22. I only have 15K miles on the car. Should I expect it to improve? Oh, and ya gotta love the Mustang!

    Valve cover bolts......

    Are they metric? The reason I'm asking is because when I installed the K&N it came with a brace to hold it up and I had to remove and reinstall a couple of bolts to get it on. Anyway, the socket was on the loose side and I don't want to ruin the bolts if I ever have to put the old airbox back...

    Traded GT 500 for 2010 GT

    I too would have found a way to bolt up an automatic to the GT500. Does the 5R55s bolt in (provided its beefed up)? Or does one have to get a 4R70 (?) the one thats on the SN95? This is something I've always wondered about.

    TCI Auto ratchet shifter

    I like upshifting from a standing start or from 2 when merging onto the hwy. When I upshift, it makes for some pretty hard shifts but to my understanding its actually better for the transmission because its easier on the clutches (?) and other internal components.

    Favorite mustang color?

    Other than mine, Grabber orange is pretty awesome. I would have been nice if they offered it with the chamois interior. IMO the WVBlue and the Legend Lime look best in convertible form because it gives contrast either black or tan top is good. The parchment interior sets both WV and LL very...

    Went to see the 2010 Camaro

    ooofa. I certainly hope all are ok. If y'all will permit me to be on the lighter side, it appears to be a 5 mph collision as far as GM quality is concerned. :D

    Went to see the 2010 Camaro

    I have not gone out of my way to see the Camaro. I've soured on GM due to my '82 Firebird. Even if GM quality has improved i can't seem to get out of my mind the memory of cheap plastic, knobs breaking off, electrical shorts, transmission problems, rear end problems, and power windows not...

    Thinking About Joining The 3V World! Opinions Wanted

    Mine is an automatic. When I was purchasing it, I was concerned about the transmission's (5r55s) ability to handle the horsepower because this is the first time it has been mated to an engine with this many horses. It might be good for 400-450 rwhp. It has been previously used with the...

    What do you think of this?

    What do you think of this? YouTube - 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 First Drive Personally, it does not appear he is staying in his lane on Hwy 1 and I would not want to in the opposite lane approaching him.

    What the rear should look like...

    Wow, the tail lights look much better. Now if you can tuck in the bottom of the bumper that would be great. While you're photoshopping, is there anything you can do with that overbite and black plastic up front? :D

    Side By Side comparison: new and old

    my 2 cents... The front end has some serious overbite going on plus too much black plastic. The rear end looks like it should be on fat a55ed sedan, sequentials notwithstanding but you can get that aftermarket on an 09. The wheels invite serious curb rash if you are not experienced at...
