We have ours programmed to quiet start between 10 pm and 8 am and usually run the AE in Normal mode. If I'm in the car by myself or with one of the kids, I'll switch it to Sport mode, both for the exhaust sound and better trans shifting schedule.

Ours won't go all the way up unless the windows are down. I just tried it with the windows up, and when I pushed the rocker to put the top up, it rolled the windows down first.

I would think you would want your rear camber and toe to be almost zero for the best contact patch. All of the parts you're installing should stiffen up the suspension and minimize deflection.

I noticed the same thing comparing my wife's Mustang with my GTO. They're probably equal in power as I've done some work on my GTO (full exhaust, LS3 heads/intake, tuned), but the GTO feels much more lively under 3k rpm due to it's huge torque advantage.

Went out to eat with my family today (sisters, their husbands and kids, and our aunt), and we saw an Adriatic Blue convertible in the parking lot. This is the 1st AB we've seen in the wild. We went over to look at it and the driver was still in it. We talked with him a few minutes, he saw...

I jacked ours up from the differential. I've always used the diff on my RWD cars, never had a problem the past 30 years or so.

That sounds about right. We ordered ours July 14 and got a very low VIN.

So, name another convertible that seats more than 2 and doesn't cost more than the Mustang GT. Wife wanted a convertible, so she got a convertible. :)

We've had 1 or 2 kids in back several times this year. One is a 5'6" girl, the other is a 5'7" boy growing an inch a month at the moment. If someone is behind me, either as the driver or passenger, I can't move my seat back as far as I usually do, but there's still enough room for my 6'1"...

Makes sense to me in a way. Here in Maryland, 2-lane highways are typically 55, but we're good up to 9-12 mph over. 4-lane and Interstates are usually 65 mph unless going through a congested area, same allowance over. I-95 is usually faster, especially with people passing through from other...

Odo had 6000.2 miles on it in the morning. Washed it in the afternoon. We drove about 100 miles going out to breakfast and shopping all around. Got several compliments about the car. :)

Picture from a couple weeks ago when I bolted up the new wheels/tires. Had 4 18" GTO wheels widened 1" and 275/35 tires mounted. 15mm spacer up front to keep them away from the coilovers, perfect fit in the back.

First car I had was a '55 Chevy Bel Air 2-door hardtop, was my parent's car, they gave it to me for graduating college, then spent several thousand dollars having body panels replaced. Sold it as it still needed a lot more body work and I lost interest. I bought an '87 Camaro IROC-Z, replaced...

I line ours up with a red leaf rake that's mounted on the right wall. Just happens to be in the right spot.

I'd say your mpg is from a lot of highway miles. With my wife driving hers back and forth to work every day, her average is up to 19.5 mpg since we got it. Last tank of gas was almost 20 mpg. It gets driven in a mix of around-town and highway driving.
