    What gas do you use?

    87 Octance BP gas is the preferred gas for a stock tune on a Mustang GT. I have heard that is may be beneficial to use premium gas every other fillup though from one of the dealer Service Techs. I heard the same thing but my best density altitude corrected 1/4 mile time came with a 91...

    Is this on an 05 GT automatic? If so, what kind of gears are you using?

    Road & Track tests the 2008 Shelby Super Snake

    I went back and looked at Road & Track test of the 2005 Mustang as there is a link to their car tests in that article. When they got 13.9 sec 1/4 mile out of a 2005 GT, they listed the weather during the test at the bottom as 91 degrees, 35% humidity and a track elevation of 350 feet. Why...

    Road & Track tests the 2008 Shelby Super Snake

    I don't know what the fascination is with 20 inch wheels these days. Sure, they look fashionable and Chip Foose-like but they aren't good performance tires for 0-60 and 1/4 mile ratings. And I would expect a Super Snake to be all about performance.

    Road & Track tests the 2008 Shelby Super Snake

    Massive wheelspin? I read that and it appears that Shelby is looking at finding different tires that hook up better.

    Road & Track tests the 2008 Shelby Super Snake

    I don't think it should be that much heavier than a GT500. One thing I will add, when Road & Track tested the 2005 Mustang GT, their 1/4 mile time for a manual was 13.9 seconds. Car & Driver got 13.5 secs out of a manual. So one wonders who the hell is testing these cars for Road & Track...

    Road & Track tests the 2008 Shelby Super Snake

    http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?section_id=3&article_id=6056 Seems kind of suspect that a 605 hp car only did a 4.4 sec 0-60 and a 1/4 mile of 12.5 seconds, when the 500 hp GT500 did 4.6 and 12.8. Three tenths of a second faster than the 500 hp GT500 in the 1/4 mile? A 100...

    New 1/4 mile best for 2007 GT (Automatic): 13.390 sec

    Thanks everybody! My 13.390 sec run density altitude corrected was really a 13.416 sec @102.726 run because the weather conditions simulated 184 feet below sea level. However, I did have a 13.754 sec run in September at a density altitude of 2261.3 foot that corrected to a 13.391 sec run (see...

    New 1/4 mile best for 2007 GT (Automatic): 13.390 sec

    13.390 sec @ 102.93mph I can finally say that I got my Stang into the 13.3s instead of saying my best density altitude corrected run corrects to a 13.3. Everything is stock (3.31 gears, stock Pirelli radials) except for: CDC Shaker Hood Scoop System, Corsa Axel-back exhaust and a...

    Help! Dash lights, speedometer and AC don't work

    Thanks for the replies but I don't have an IPOD adapter. I tried to retune my car with an SCT tuner and nothing flashed on. I think it has something to do with ECM because there is a symbol on the dash that shows a man seatbelted with an apparent air bag blown up. That is the only thing I see...

    Help! Dash lights, speedometer and AC don't work

    My dash lights, speedometer, computer, AC doesn't work. The turn signals work but they don't make a clicking sound when they are on. My radio, windshield wipers, heater, map lights and head lights all work. ????

    Recorded my best DA corrected 1/4 mile time last night

    I estimate, just on altitude alone, that Heartland Park Topeka should be good for six tenths of a second off your time compared to Bandimore. The track is probably maintained and prepped better too since it is a NHRA Nationals facility. So that is probably worth a tenth. The track elevation is...

    GT emblem, is it bolted on? Powered By Ford emblems.

    Is the GT emblem on the 2005+ GTs a bolt on or adhesive emblem? I am thinking about putting Powered By Ford emblems like on the Shelby GT in its place and wondered how to do this. Also, how to you get these "Powered By Ford" emblems. Someone said if you had a VIN # from an actual Shelby GT...
