I'm not sure what parts commonly need adjustment, tightening, fixing on the S550 but yesterday I saw something I thought was interesting for the Roush models...a trunk lid mounted took kit. I'm not sure whether it's useful or hokey. But I typically keep a set of sockets, screw drivers, vise...

In this vid it looks as if all they added was a new cold air intake and then hooked the car up to a computer to tune it and ended up with 25+ extra horsepower. I always thought a super charger or turbo was needed to do a tune. [ame=""] If not, is the Bama Tune the best for a near near/stock...

I want to take advantage of the Customer Loyalty incentive using the title for another Ford I own. However, while my name is on the title it has my old address (I moved 6 years ago) and it does not have (III) after my name. I have a total of 4 vehicles, some titles have the III and some don't...

My son will be 6 in April. He is an awesome little guy! Quick story...when I test drove a 16' GT last January I joked that we'd go so fast he'd crap his pants....and then he did! :D Anyway, when I do pull the trigger on a Mustang GT, I want to keep it looking new for quite a while. At...

Has anyone kept a running record of Ford's factory incentives on the current gen. Mustang over the past few years? Do they follow an identifiable pattern that makes them somewhat predictable? I'm looking to buy sometimes between May and July. The three incentives/rebates I don't think will...

Since I first got a look at them, the nickel PP wheels have grown on me as something I like verses the black PP wheels against a magnetic body. Problem is, the dealer I'm looking at buying from doesn't stock any cars with them. That means 1) I'd have to order the car just for that. or 2)...

I remember last year, it seemed totally randomized who got one and who didn't but if you asked for a brochure on the new Mustangs you might also get a $500 or $750 "private cash" coupon to use toward your purchase. Do they still do that for the 6th gens or was that just for the first year or...

What options does Ford offer for extended warranties? Is there room to negotiate on the price or is it set in stone? I couldn't find it on Ford's site but any links to their packages/terms would be appreciated. I'm thinking if I buy new, I'd like to have a warranty in place until I'm...

I was at the grocery store and a BMW SUV caught my eye. It was an X5. The rotors and brakes alone looked insane....massive!! Then I get home and see that the $72k version actually has 10 more horsepower than the current generation Mustang GT. Despite being 2-3 times the price of a Mustang...

I see them priced from $24k-$27K...but I'm wondering what they are actually selling for? With the mileage, this one seems like an absolute steal...

I've always wanted a V8, 5.0, GT Mustang. Just the big engine, raw power, sound, etc....along with the speed, look, and feel of the car. However, financially, I'd either have to buy a 13-14 GT or wait quite a while before a $35k car would be in my budget. An Ecoboost is a different story. I...

Since I've been looking at the S550 for over a year now I thought the black wheels looked really nice against a Magnetic body. Then when the Nickel painted version came out, I thought it looked nice but wasn't drawn to it as a have to have option. But the more I see it, the more it's growing...

Has anyone bought their S550 and then somehow managed to claim it as a business expense for taxes? While it's not exactly a utility van, maybe some magnetic advertising panels could make it work if it concerns the IRS. I realize it's the mother of all long shots but since I'm opening up a...

Something I need some clarification on.... hp vs. torque. I believe in some cars (possibly older Mustangs) the torque was higher than the hp. In the Camaro, I believe hp and torque are the same. Then in the S550 it's 435hp but 400 lb. ft. of torque. Can someone explain why there are...

After 2.5 years of not speaking to each other, my father and I resolved our differences this weekend. When walking into his garage I saw a beautiful sight. It was a Black GT500 with plenty of badging/snakes on it that it was clear what it was. I'm not sure of the year. But I'm pretty sure...

Went on a mini-vacation last weekend. Had an absolute blast! However, one thing I noticed...I counted exactly 3 S550's on the road...3!!! Tons of Porsche's!! Must have been dozens of them!! Plenty of Audi's. Even a bunch of Camaro's....but newer Mustangs, nope. Why is that? I figured...

Recently I started a thread where I asked for a matchup between the STI and the Stang GT. Everyone said it was no contest, the GT would stomp the STI. But can the same be said for the RS? 0-60 times on paper seem near identical. Similar 1/4mi. Something else I'm looking at is turning...

I'm pretty new to the world of FI. But in the little research I've done, if I do increase power (once buying a GT) it'll be through a super charger. Is the technology something that grows by leaps and bounds every few years or are there only small changes/improvements that are seen maybe every...

EDIT- This is pertaining to the CLOTH ceramic.... My all-time favorite look is the black/white premier leather. However, recently, on Ford's site I got a look at the ceramic interior. Looks interesting....two tone. But they only have one view and I can't tell if it's more of a darker gray on...

Here's the matchup as I see it, but please correct me where I'm wrong... Mustang- Much more comfortable ride Slightly cheaper Easier and cheaper to maintain Significantly better looking (in my opinion) STI- AWD which means year round driver even in snow Slightly faster Better...
