    3.55s or 3.73s

    If this has been discussed to much I apologize, I couldn't find it. I am in the process of trying to decide whether to wait for a 2018 Mustang or go ahead with the 2017. If I wait, there always the next model year...which means I'm never getting back into a Mustang. Part of my research is on...

    Craigslist email scammers

    Ive had my Mustang listed on Craigslist for the last two weeks and today I got the expected scammer email. Putting it here for anyone that likes to mess with the douchebags. I'd like to but I'm far from as good as some of you at trolling them. I'm surprised that these people can still find...

    Ive been spending my time reading on the 13-14my GT500s and 5.0s as well as looking at the 2015 rumors. While looking in Google today I found a quote from Stephen Becker stating that Mr Shelby signed a contract with Ford to have the GT350s produced on the Ford assembly lines. Has anyone else...

    What is the hp limit for the factory auto trans? I currently have an 08 GT500 but am looking to sell and possibly pick up a new 5.0 with an auto. I have seen several different ways to add turbos and or supercharges so obtaining higher hp for the drag strip seems fairly easy, albeit a bit...

    SVTTP and non, Torsen diff?

    how much different is the handling between the two, if anyone has direct experience ? Im contemplating whether or not to order the SVT package.

    To order or not

    I've been very content on "waiting" for the right deal to come along. I'd realistically planned to wait until January, hoping I'd find a dealer ready to abandon their Adjusted Market Value. However; tonight my wife re ignited my desire by telling me a local dealer had an array of new Mustangs...

    The new stance

    Ive yet to read anything solid so forgive me if its already been discussed. In all of the videos it appears that Ford has fixed the 4x4 rear end look. Does anyone know what they did to achieve this? Are they using a "lowering" spring or did they address it through all of the suspension? Either...

    Misinformed sales people, sales people who lie etc

    Does it piss anyone else off or am I just sick of their bs? I called a local dealership today, one who I had previously been told MSRP by. I spoke directly to a sales manager...completely clueless, cocky and arrogant. When I inquired about the car he said" we only got two and theyre both...

    "those will be limited production"

    Couldn't believe it. Spoke to the Fleet manager at one of the dealerships I do business with about what kind of deal he would work for me and he gave me the line. I told him, no they aren't, nor we're they ever and they're not about to be in the future. Asked him if he could do 500-1000 over...

    Tire size questions

    When looking for new tires I've noticed that the manucturers specs differ from one another. Not all 295/35/20s are the same size. Some are wider than others etc. Same goes for other sizes. Can anyone clue me in other than that it's not something that is regulated. I noticed one tire in a 305 is...
