  1. Mustang wagon/shooting brake/hatch/tailgate

    That was more so due to the 2008 GM Bankruptcy and scuttling of Pontiac and Saturn, not lack of interest. And worse, GM was only building the cars in Australia (Holden) due to the tax breaks, which is why GM and Ford both quit manufacturing cars in Australia when both companies really were...

  3. Rear PP Wheel/tire

    The change between a 275/40 and 285/40 is very small. Running through my calculator, the .20" additional diameter from the 285/40 tire would be like changing from 3.73 gears to 3.69 gears, giving you a 1% variance on the speedometer. In other words, gearing will effectively be unchanged. What...
  4. Car Unstable at Interstate Speeds

    Just confirmed on Nitto's website that the 285 min is a 9.5" wheel, and the 295 min in a 10.0" wheel. See for yourself, link below, then scroll down to specs for the 20" tires: http://www.nittotire.com/passenger-tires/nt555-g2-ultra-high-performance-tire/ That aside, the mold release agent...
  5. Car Unstable at Interstate Speeds

    New tires can be squirrely, making the car feel like the entire rear-end is floating around left and right. I'm surprised you're just now feeling it. Nitto's on the rear, what's on the front? Stock Pirelli's? Three issues likely going on here: ...1 = 285mm tires minimum recommended wheel width...
  6. '17 GT non-PP Brembo/PowerStop rotor swap

    This was documented a long time ago, there is no problem installing 15" 6-piston Brembo's with the 20" Foundary wheels. http://www.mustang6g.com/?p=4899 http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14491
  7. Who do you let drive your car?

    Only my wife and a close friend, and my wife can't drive a manual.
  8. VS Forged VS01 wheels on DIB

    Stock 14" brakes look so small on 20" wheels.
  9. 285/40/19 or 285/35/19 tires - square

    A 285/35R19 has only 0.10" shorter sidewall than the standard stock 255/40R19 front tire on the GT and GT PP. Regarding ride comfort, you'll probably notice a little less comfort from 1.20" wider tires with 2.40" of additional contact area, and wheels that increase the front track by 1.40"...
  10. Noob Tire Buying/ Install Question

    You don't need wider tires, you just need better tires. Grab a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport or the newest model, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, you will have all the grip and handling you'll need for the street. Unless you're putting down serious power, over 700hp, and have a habit of...
  11. Best rear tires for blower setup and stock PP rims

    Just stated in another thread, I had Michelin Pilot Super Sport 275/40ZR19 tires on my Roushcharged 2015 GT PP, grip was outstanding and rarely broke loose unless the road conditions or surface was crap. Granted, I didn't disable TC, as with that much power, I always soft launched into a roll...
  12. Got MPSS.....and WOW

    On my 2015 GT PP, the MPSS were sticky enough in OEM sized 275/40ZR19, that when I installed my Roushcharger there was still enough grip that I didn't need a wider tire to maintain grip. The Michelin Pilot Super Sport and newer Michelin Pilot Sport 4S are great tires. I've installed them on my...
  13. The Rock Buys 2018 Mustang

    That girl was so distraught, she didn't feel like she deserved anything good to happen to her.
  14. 2018 5.0 engine bay

    Maybe, but hindsight is a beach. IMO the 2018 is where the 2015 should have started.
  15. 2018 5.0 engine bay

    Covers play a in integral heat management, and that cover extend over the exhaust manifolds to reduce heat.
  16. Bump steer on a non-lowered car

    Maybe bad hub bearing in addition to a bent tie rod or end link? Have you had any increase in noise, vibrations, or loose handling scenarios?

    Seeing some of these video's really makes me think everyone should carry a gun in their car, you never know who you're dealing with.

  19. GT Brembo Brake Pad Advice

    OP - To the brake squealing issue, there are hundreds and hundreds of threads and replies on just about every automotive forum regarding performance brakes and squealing. Even with Ceramics, noise can still occur, though with Ceramic pads you give up lots of braking power. What most people...
  20. GT Brembo Brake Pad Advice

    Yes, many slotted rotors, especially the large wide slots that go from edge to edge, will make a little noise, and you will likely feel this in the pedal. OEM cars that come with slotted brakes usually have very small and narrow slots, and are not usually done in a manner that has a single...
