I thought there was a more pronounced difference between weights, guess I should have double checked that one :doh: I think the ecoboost had a better front to rear weight distribution but I will have to look that up. That was the basis of my better handling statement. The V6 options are also...

While it is unfortunate that you ran of gas and had to push the car into the gas station it is a good piece of info to know! I usually fill up at a 1/4 tank also but now not to push the limits if I ever find myself close to empty. In regards to the comments about damaging cats or the fuel pump...

This was the short list I came up with when comparing the two... Ecoboost Larger HP gains per dollar Better gas mileage Lighter than the V6 Better handling Optional Performance Package More options Better aftermarket support (purely based on # of threads for each vehicle) V6...

Both BLKWIDO (BlackWidow) and BIOHZRD (Bio-hazard) are available for my plates so once I get my car I will make a final decision. I have an unhealthy obsession with black and red (BlackWidow) and since i'm getting a GT and will be romping the loud pedal all over I figured Bio-hazard was also...

It sounds like you have just had some bad run-ins with dealerships in the past. I understand your viewpoint but I think the fact there are so many dealerships is one of the consumers best negotiating tools. We have the ability to pit one dealership against another to get the best possible price...

It's not a risk, the dealership will still sell a car and make some money, but it's a piss poor business decision. I think people forget that dealerships, at the end of the day, are businesses just like any other. They are looking to make a profit whenever an opportunity arises. Job 1 of the...

Your first set of statements pretty much just argued against your own point :shrug:. There is less rotational inertia, therefore more power is being transmitted to the ground. If your tires are incapable of handling the added power you would expect to lose traction. You did, in fact, increase...

I am willing to bet you won't find a single dealership in the country willing to make that deal. There is no official information on pricing and/or quantity and it would be foolish on the part of any dealership to do so. Ford may decide tomorrow they are only going to make 350 of these cars...

That is a delicious amount of power!! Being that you made no mention of it, i'm assuming this a completely stock block aside from the injectors and plenum? Is this a daily driven car? Are these power levels safe on 93 octane for DD conditions?

I'm all for more power but how do those of you planning to go the full headers/catless route plan on passing emissions? Swapping the headers is not exactly a 15 minute process. I have always run high flow cats on my previous cars (not sure if that is an option yet for the S550) to give me a...

That's painful to see/hear, not only because of the damage to the wheel but also the lovely swirls that automatic car washes leave behind. Definitely need to replace that tire though. Any sort of gash like that in the sidewall is just a ticking time bomb of a disaster waiting to happen. Best...

The price for the PP compared to the amount of stuff you are getting, I think, is a no-brainer for most and why you don't see very many base GT's without it. Even as a normal DD with no anticipated track time I would much rather have the numerous performance upgrades for peace of mind. The...

It was actually stated several times in numerous interviews that this will be produced in the same quantity as the GT500 which is, in fact, a limited production vehicle. However, just because it is a limited production vehicle does not make it a limited edition and I think that may be some of...

Not sure how you feel a sound? :shrug: Your 1 & 2 are what everyone in this thread has been talking about. 3 just sounds like you need more practice with the clutch in the Mustang. Not to be "that guy" but did you read any of the posts in this thread? I'm pretty sure everything you have...

Wow, I am impressed! This is similar to the approach I was going to take with my base GT when it arrives. I think my only criticism is the thickness of the red accents but overall I really like it. It may just be the pictures that are throwing me off though. I'd be curious to see this exact...

The video is not the same, no. I was more referring to the fact that The Lighting Group has been introduced already on the forums and that a simple search would have show the thread I linked as well as other posts regrading their work at SEMA. :cheers:

Or adjust the rubber stoppers on either side of the hood depending on what the issue is.

Plasti-dip does not like to be sprayed in the cold. What I would suggest is to fill a bucket with warm water and let the cans sit in the water for 5-10 minutes (obviously don't let them get too hot). That should give you enough time to spray a coat or two then just repeat. This is what I did...

:popcorn::lol:

all of these are completely pointless at normal driving speeds :doh: Also, spoilers and wings are two completely different things... [ame=""]
