    Keeping car on jack stands for a week?

    I'm going to be replacing the clutch in my '08 GT500 this weekend, and I'm sure I won't be done in one day, or even by tomorrow. I just bought the following jack and jack stands from Harbor Freight...

    GT500 Clutch Replacement Guide

    I'm not very mechanically inclined, but I'm going to tackle on the project with a friend who works on cars, but they're usually older V8s. Can anybody point me in the right direction? All I found online is the following: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTZr2axL5Ls...

    '08 GT500 - McLeod RXT & what else?

    I'm finally getting around to fixing the clutch in my car, and I want to know what else I should buy along with the clutch. I'm going to buy the McLeod RXT clutch and flywheel kit, and I know I need a slave cylinder. In regards to the cylinder, should I buy the Ford OEM, McLeod, RAM, or other...

    Fix Clutch or Buy Daily Driver?

    Let me start this post by saying I'm financially smart, but I'm in a bit of a bind. I bought my '08 GT500 through my credit union a year ago, so I'm still making payments. When I bought her, I had a good job and enough in my savings to last me for quite some time. I then quit my job in and moved...

    Help Installing Alternator from Adam at Nations Starter & Electric

    Just like many of you, the alternator on my 2008 GT500 went out. My car is mostly stock, save for Borla Stinger catbacks. Anyway, she barely has 25k miles on her, so I'm sure you can see my frustration. To top it off, she's my daily driver for now! I've been either walking to work or getting...

    Low Battery, ABS Light, Check Trac Control...All sorts of crazy!

    First off, I have an '08 GT500, bone stock, save for Borla Stinger catbacks. The car has about 24,000 miles on her, and I changed the battery at about 16,000 miles (about 6 months ago.) Tonight, while driving home, I saw a strange message pop up on my radio, then it went away. Then it showed up...

    I was rear ended...now what?

    I was driving to work and somebody with liability insurance rear ended my brand new baby! I got his name, phone number, and insurance. I took pictures of his car, and mine. What's the next step? I'm going to call his insurance, but honestly, I want my bumper and trunk replace because that's...

    Uneven Front Tire Wear

    While my car was on a lift over the weekend, I was told that my front tires are wearing unevenly. When I looked at them, the insides of the front tires were worn, but the tire wasn't round anymore, it was bumpy. I was told I'd need new shocks. I'm surprised, the car is a stock 2008 GT500 with...

    Inner Rear Fender Overspray? 2007-2009 GT500s

    Is it normal for the inside of the rear fender (inside the tire well) to have overspray? I have it on both sides. All of these pictures are from the rear driver's side.

    2012 Boss 302 vs 2015 GT w/PP

    Given that the two have essentially the same engine (save for the built bottom end of the Boss,) but the '15 has the IRS, if both were modified to have an equally comparable suspension/tires and power, will the '15 GT run circles around the '12 Boss 302 on the track, mainly because of the...

    '08 GT500 vs '11 GT500 vs '12 Boss 302

    So I'm in the market for a new Mustang, and I have my eyes set on a few cars. First off, the Mustang is going to be my daily driver, and my plans for the car are just to have a mean street machine, and something I can occasionally take to the track and drag. I also love cruising in the...

    2007-2009 vs 2011-2012 GT500

    I'm in a little dilemma. I had found the perfect GT500 for me, only about 5,000 miles, bone stock, and babied all its life, always in a heated garage, etc., for only $32,000. A little pricey considering the year, but it's been completely unmolested. The only issue is that the clutch TSB was...

    2008 GT500 Clutch Issue?

    I'm in the market for a used GT500 and I think I found "the one." It's a bone stock 2008 with about 5k miles. The owner says he babied the car and never drives it. I asked him about the clutch and the TSB, he said he tried to get Ford to cover it under the warranty, but they just wouldn't due to...

    Finding Previous Owner on GT500?

    I found a GT500 on at a used car dealership, and I have the VIN. Is there any way I can find who the previous owners were? Maybe somebody on here knows them, or maybe the car used to be owned by a member on these forums? If the VIN isn't helpful for trying to find the previous owners, maybe...

    FS: 2001 Bullitt with around 45k miles

    I must sell my baby! Unfortunately, this car was smashed in the rear, causing quite a decent amount of damage to the rear-left quarter panel. I'm posting it up here for grabs. The engine is great, but also unfortunately, I haven't turned the car on since around 2011. All you need to do is flush...

    My buddy is looking for an '03/'04 Cobra in the SoCal area. He prefers black, but any color will do, but it HAS to be a hardtop. Post 'em if you got 'em! I'm posting this up for him because he has his eyes on a '06 GTO, and I'm trying to steer him the other way! I couldn't find any on the...

    ProCharger P1SC Shaft Play?

    What should I look at when inspecting a used P1SC? I know I should check for shaft play, is ANY amount normal, even small, whether it's when pushing/pulling or if moving it side-to-side? What else should I check for? The used kit I'm checking out tomorrow also includes 42# injectors, mounting...
