I dig the Sti. If I didn't drive Mustangs it would get some serious consideration, but I think you're missing the point of owning a Mustang and thats to MAKE it your own. Yeah there are tons of em on the road but there is a huge aftermarket (arguably the largest) there so you can put your own...

I still love everything about the look but I'll admit it's the little things that wear on me. Not being able to shift into any gear without a giant thunk from the drivetrain, every panel on the dash buzzing like crazy, at least two areas in the back that intermittently rattle ... Nothing that...

Totally agree. I just know there is a segment of Shelby owners who really hate seeing clones, copy parts etc... let alone when the factory puts an almost identical front end on a standard GT haha At least car guys know the difference and that's all that matters.

Yep.Ford does it with every mid-cycle refresh. They hint at the features from the previous Shelby that differentiate it from the standard GT, then tweak them enough that the Shelby owners don't get butt-hurt about the GT looking too similar to their cars. If you remove the middle posts from the...

It's funny, I had a 2016 that was destroyed by hail a little over a year ago. None of the exterior panels lined up, the passenger door stuck out on the bottom to the point it looked like it wasn't closed, the lower valence wasn't even pushed into the clips but the interior was DEAD silent...

I thought so too but I added some felt tape along the bottom edge and no dice. My 2011 had issues where the trim rings around the speedo and tach would rattle. Next time I pull that panel I'll add some felt tape to all that stuff to hold the trim rings against the housing and see if that helps.

Not yet. Good idea! I'm 90% sure it has something to with that panel and or the contact it makes with the dash. I'm leery of taking it off many more times since those clips are super fragile. At a certain point I feel I'll just be adding to the rattles instead of fixing anything.

I have the same thing right above the screen. Took the dash panel off and everything has felt where it makes contact with the dash. Added a few small pieces and it didn't help one bit. My guess is it's the gauges themselves or the trim rings rattling at certain RPM's, Drives me insane

My Black 2011 Brembo was a great car but that transmission was WAY worse than the new ones and that's saying something. Bought a base package thinking it'd be "easy" to swap a different head unit but no-one made a good looking solution for the 4 years I owned it. I re-covered the seats with...

EXACTLY the first thing I thought too! haha OR...

Ha! Got me with that one!

I had a TWM weighted knob on my 2011 and loved it. No issues from using it for years. Currently have a WC Lathewerks stainless sphere on order for the '17and from what I can tell will be pretty comparable to the old TWM. No offense but i read that ENTIRE shift knob thread and for the life of me...

Man I hate to say it but you’re not in the right in this situation. That combo is loud as shit and we all know that. It’s a game that car guys play all the time. How loud is too loud, then do we NEED it to be that loud, and what do we gain by that in the end? Maybe it’s because I’m in my mid...

My car IS white already anyway ha! Not gonna say I didn't consider a big Titleist decal for awhile until I get it fixed. Being that it's storm season here in TX there's no sense in doing it right away. You should see the looks I get washing the car in the condition it's in.

Fluke hail storm popped up around 4am a few weeks back and crushed my car to the tune of 8k in repairs. Going to need a new hood, decklid, roof repainted and even then a few PDR. Owned it barely a month and a half. Seems a right of passage as my 2011 went through the exact same thing. Ah well...
