    Year to year differences for '05-09 GT?

    I think that Ford improved the cylinder head on the 08+'s. Same power output as 05-07.

    C&L intake manifold pros & cons

    I've used C&L products before and they are well made and perform well. I haven't read up on it in awhile but I'm pretty sure you'll make more hp in high rpm, but not as much tq in the lower revs like the stock unit. I'm guessing it makes around 15-20 rwhp. Do you have other mods? What are...

    Drove: 2010 Convert and at 2011 5.0 Fastback.

    I will restate my point. Sure the car can take a little teenage abuse off the lot. The unethical thing to do is abuse the trust of the salesperson. Is the dealer insured? Of course. Will the dealer owner forgive the salesman for this lapse in judgement? No. He will be out of a job. Is...

    a little pinging when I accelerate after

    Im not engine expert but pinging means the engine is running lean. My 01GT did that. I was told lean is when there is too much air going in the engine not enough fuel. When happens you get piston slap which means the piston violently shakes within its cylinder. Bad news. I also had an 05...

    Ford CPO for Late Model Mustang a Joke?

    I used to sell Fords a year ago. Its unfortunate the CPO sticker on the car really adds that much to the price. In this cars case, its still under the factory 3/36 and 5/60 warranty. The premium cost you are seeing is for 40K worth of powertrain coverage. If you price the cost of 40k...

    Alarm going off randomly w/out cause

    that is wierd. My 08 had alarm issues that would go off 15 min after locking with key fob button. Turns out I mistakenly left an interior light on. Yours sounds different so hopefully the battery disconnect will reset the gremlin.

    Are more expensive wheels worth the money?

    When it comes to wheels you get what you pay for. Ford OEM and Ford Racing are more expensive as the others have stated because they are engineered to high standards. Roundness, crash tested, weight, and you can get replacements. Some aftermarket companies make wheels for a year and then...

    Buy a used S197 GT or a NEW V6????

    The chassis is more refined on the 11 v6 versus 05-09. Power will be very similar but you'd have to wind the v6 out a little more. Have not seen power curves but the 4.6 3v should make power lower. Prob a drivers race between 4.6 3v and 11 v6. The v8 sound is HUGE to me. You will miss it...

    Drove: 2010 Convert and at 2011 5.0 Fastback.

    You knew you were beating on the cars harder than you should by your own admission that the salesperson wasn't there. Lesson learned hopefully? The saleperson would be out of a job if you T/C'd.

    Car seat for the Mustang

    When looking at the car seats try to get one that has the following: 1. Look at the back where the two shoulder straps meet. There is a metal peice that you fold the material under to keep the two in place. Make sure there it is capable of not sliding out of place. 2. Good washable cushion...

    Shopping Cart + Rear Fender = $750 in damage

    I feel your frustration. About 2 weeks ago, I bought my wife a new CR-V. A couple days later at the gas station I'm filling up with my wife in driver seat and daughter in back. Some DB tries to squeeze past us and clips the RR panel shaking the whole car and continues to drive away. I used...

    Keep it, or trade it in?

    Your 07 looks really good. I'd save up for a house so you can garage that beauty.

    2010+ HIDs are UGLY as heck!!!

    By themselves, the hid's look fine. They do look a little disproportionate with the fog lights though.

    Exhaust....opinions

    Boomtubes are a great choice. Priced new at about $300. If I were shopping again, I'd go with a used pair as a lot of mustang owners swap out axelback's and will sell at bargains.

    Anyone see 2011 GTs having problems?

    I've heard Ford has done a lot of field testing with the 5.0. The 4.6 3v was much more different that the 2V it replaced with VVT and electronic throttle, and not a lot of failure there. The transmission will be overbuilt like our 4.6's to take the power as will the engine block. As someone...

    HELP!!!! Clutch issue

    Sorry to hear about this. When I used to work at a ford dealership, there were guys with Ford GT's that burned their clutch in less that 150 miles. The price also sounds ok. the 2010 has a better clutch I beleive; I wonder if it will fit in yours.

    2011 GT/CS PICS HOLY CRAP!!!

    The front facia looks pretty good. There is a lot of black on the rear that kind of makes it look like the ricers that throw on a body kit unpainted, and the tips need to be a bit bigger to fill the gap of the exhaust outlets. The side view looks too "busy" with the side stripe stopping at the...

    I just got a STOCK '06 Mustang GT what can I do about the car sound?

    Check out Boomtubes if you want loud with no rasp. Very refined sound with little drone. Also keep in mind, a lot of Mustang owners have changed thier axelbacks and are willing to sell them used on the forums here and even ebay. If you're new to the S197's, and expecting a power increase from...

    Thoughts on Supercharging a 60,000 mile GT

    is there a way for the OP to check his 60K driveline (clutch, trans, etc) without a teardown? I'm conservative in nature so I'd plan on upgrading/replacing those 60K parts as well.
