I can't remember the month, but last year when all the mustang mags did their special look into the new 5.0 they noted it has built in architecture for future use of direct injection. I figure ford is just waiting for gm to up the output on the ls3 or unleash the new 5.5 liter ls engine with...

In all honesty I'm pretty sure most of us will like the new look when it comes out. I'm more concerned about the new irs setup, and possible having the mustang share a platform with another vehicle; making it a porker like the Camaro and Challenger. Mere speculation though.

Congrats on the sell! :beer: Anyone local buy it?

......Simply awesome......

Had the exact problem happen to me! I thought it was the alternator but the dealer and a different mechanic said it was fine. I then checked it myself using the same method you applied. Being frustrated I decided to get a new alternator, and what do you know? Its been fine ever since. Now I'm...

:beer: Congrats! Running some awesome times there!

Congrats man! Hearing all this is making me want to finish school that much quicker so I can get one!

Couldn't have said it any better. It's rare to find an honest person now a days. As far as tips, you could try a clay bar or slight rubbing compound. You never know, it may not be too deep. I say you should exhaust all the smaller options before paying to get it fixed professionally.

I was super skeptical about the benefits of using a compound. After using it however, it changed my mind completely. I definitely recommend giving it a try.

Sorry I haven't gotten around to posting some pics yet. I've been swamped with school, getting ready for midterms. Tomorrow I'm going to cruse around and find a decent spot to take some pics!

I went ahead and allowed the nxt 2.0 to cure for about 18 hours inside my garage and then applied a thin layer of gold class wax. The Ultimate Compound worked awesome and got almost all the micro-scratches/swirls out. I'll post some pics of the finished product tomorrow! Thanks for everyone's...

Thanks! I didn't know you had to let the stuff cure.

Here is my plan of attack for tomorrow: 1. Wash car in some dish washing soap to strip any old wax. 2. After drying I then plan to clay bar the entire car. 3. Then I'm going to use one of the previously mentioned compounds on the car. 4. I will follow that up with 1 coat of nxt 2.0 wax and 1...

Tomorrow I plan on fully detailing my car. I was wondering which product would you guys recommend using by hand. - Meguiar's Ultimate Compound - Meguiar's Swirl X - Meguiar's Scratch X 2.0 I don't have a porter cable that is why I am resorting to doing it by hand. Thanks in advance for any...

Seems like Ford is thinking about bringing two of those motors to our side of the globe. Still just pure speculation though. Inside line did a super quick write up on it today. http://www.insideline.com/ford/will-australia-built-ford-supercharged-v8-return-to-states.html
