    Post your best 1/4 MILE ETs here!

    New personal best yesterday at a private rental hosted at MIR - The car is a 5.0L/auto 2012 GT/CS, with a stock tune and factory 3.15:1 gears. The only performance mods are GT500 mufflers and 325/45R17 M&H Racemasters on 17x8" Ford Bullitts. :thumb2:

    F.S- Winter Garage Clean Out!!!! 05-09 Seats, Midpipes, More...

    I don't know, so I'll ask - Does the front passenger airbag have the dash panel attached to it? If so, is yours black or aluminum?

    Not new, but getting my 1st 4.6L-3v!

    I need to do that. I've rationalized that I now have the perfect number of Mustangs. There's a DD for each licensed driver in the house, and then I have 2 projects for the weekend. I'm not bragging - only fooling myself into believing that I'm not a hoarder!

    Thanks guys! The sale has been approved by their City Manager. I'm not sure when I will be flying out there to complete the transaction and pick up the car. It's only a 10 hour drive home! This car will look great next to my 1985 SSP Mustang, which is also all-black.

    I love you too! :crazy: The seat does have a small tear in it, so they have that cruddy cover on the seat which was destroyed by the officer's duty-belt. I figure I can find a new skin or seat fairly cheaply. In terms of the police equipment, it looks at though they will be removing the radio...

    I am quite excited about a car I found for sale on ebay. Although we still have our 2005 4.0L/auto vert for the wife to drive, I've bounced around from car to car lately. My top project car is a 1985 SSP Mustang that patrolled the streets and highways of California for the CHP. Along those...

    Dual Exhaust for the v6

    That entire post contains good info. In my case, I had dual GT take-offs with a Ford x-pipe on my old 4.0L/5spd coupe, which sounded great. And I have a single GT take-off on the wife's vert, which sounds really good with the top down. Check your local muffler shop for take-offs, as they...

    Still Charging System

    It could be the Shaker 500 radio. The one in our 2005 died in 2007. Ford replaced the unit under warranty (back then). The car is on its 3rd alternator too, but the battery drain WAS caused by the radio in our case.

    Aerodynamics

    I realize that the V6 & GT front ends are slightly different, but wouldn't this indicate a difference of 3% that is attributed strictly to the belly pan? Or is the belly pan itself making up the entire 7% drop in drag?
