I’ve only used premium since I bought my gt. But when I had a 3.7L v6 before this car, yes it definitely changed the power. It wouldn’t say it was an omg difference but enough of one that I never went back.

P.S. for clarity the wheel bearing was my previous car, not this one.

My mustang is my only car. I also don’t live very close to the dealer. However I have a long standing and expensive relationship with their body shop. People keep hitting my cars, I may be cursed. I scheduled the appointment so that it would be streamlined and quick. I don’t think it...

Had a pretty annoying trip to the dealership a couple days ago. I’d scheduled a week in advance to have two things done. I wanted the brake fluid changed and to have the backup camera checked. It works most of the time but shutting the trunk can cause it to stop working. I figure it’s a loose...

I’ll elaborate more on what I said since there’s been so much feed back. Please keep in mind this is just my opinion. The performance package comes with a number of upgrades. Ford designed the performance package as a drag strip ready variant of the gt. There are a number of upgrades that are...

Whipple kit is around $10000 installed. You don’t need to do anything else to prep the car really. The kit will give you around 600hp to the rear wheels. As for recommended upgrades, bigger brakes would be wise, so would a bigger radiator. If you can find one, I would start with buying a GT...

That just made me think of Japan’s midnight club and rivalry between the 280z and the Porsche 911. They both kept building their respective street cars until very little of the original cars remained. If I recall the Z was around 700hp by the end. Not bad for an in-line six that started with 140.

1 maybe 2 for me. A friend got it and is recovering nicely. He had sore throat dry cough and trouble breathing but mostly just went stir crazy at home. Another friend in another state is going in for testing today. He’s got the same symptoms.

At least it turned out ok for you. Cheers to that. I had a cross country road trip planned for the end of this month. You can guess what to that. Oh well maybe next year.

Some of you may have seen my road trip thread. I’m considering postponing it because of the hype and hysteria. But yeah I’m republican, early thirties and honestly more concerned with the effect it will have on my road trip than whether or not this is going to kill me. Some good points are made...

Looks like I need to add tp, and face masks to the list. Lol.

What 5.0 are you driving? I get 25 mpg on flat freeways. Add hills and I call BS. I have the manual and performance pack but still.

I don’t understand people’s antics on the road either. Where I live we have Portland international raceway. It’s not much money for track time.

F’ing civics, accords, any clapped out Japanese import with a CAI, fart can and a “syssem”!!!! I used to think it was funny when I had the v6. Now it’s just infuriating. They always want to race. I just want to cruise.

This all day. Helping a friend buy his first fun car. He’s younger and buying an 04 gt. I keep reminding him that while it has half as much power as mine that it has plenty of power to kill him and that he’s coming from a 4 cylinder truck. To learn the vehicle before he gets on it. That’s a...

From experience: if he had the car insured with the modifications included in its value then he can negotiate with the insurance for lower value payout and take his parts. If it was insured without mods considered in value but with the insurance notified that it was modified then they are his...

I’m 33 with a17 gt pp. this is my third mustang. My first was bought on a lark and I fell in love with it. That was an 04 v6 vert. Then I bought a 13 v6 because I wanted something newer and loved the looks. Money was a factor at the time and I chose to pay cash instead of financing a gt. This...

Thanks for info. It’s always interesting to learn the how and why behind these cars.

It always seemed to me that ford makes the car look kinda soft in the first iteration and then gets a sharper look for the mid cycle refresh. It’s been especially true for sn95 and s197 platforms. But with the current gen it seemed (to me at least) like the refresh was just as soft looking and...
