Hello All...

Well I'd like to introduce myself as a first time mustang owner (my 4th ford).
My dad had a couple of mustangs, and well with the new styling I was sold on.

I looked for one for 6 months, finally found one in florida exactly how
I wanted it, bought it, flew down there and drove it 12 hours back to Ohio.
Loved the ride, how smooth it is and most of all how intoxicating the sound is best sounding car I've ever heard...

Anyways, maybe because the engine is not broke in or maybe because the A/C was on, at low RPMs on the freeway the car would sputter a little bit when I gave it heavy throttle around 1800 to 2300 rpms... Anybody else notice this?


Also, I saw some mustangs with the big center cap thing taken off the trunk in pictures... I thought it looked better like that... Any ideas how to safely take that thing off the trunk?

Thanks,
Will

What kind of help or advice is that? Some people don't like the fake/non functioning gas cap. And your solution is to buy a Honda?

From what I've read it comes off fairly easy. Supposedly its only on there with 3M double sided sticky tape.

Thanks to those of you with the suggestions... As for the other guy... What a dumb ass... I guess people should buy a car they don't like rather than modify a car they do like to their satisfaction?

I'll ignore the troll...

Again guys, thanks for the suggestions, I'll give it a shot asap and shoot some pictures... That badge is just overwhelming to me... And that is no knock against the folks that like it...
