I took the Mustang to a Friend's shop today to have the 4.10 gears put in by the 1st owner replaced with 3.55 gears so that the car would have more top end on the road course and get better gas mileage on the highway. With the 4.10 gears and smaller diameter R comp tires, I run out of gear by...

Does anyone have long term data for the reliability of different brands of differential and axle bearings or other automotive bearings? I know we should stay away form the cheap Chinese and Vietnamese bearings in automobile parts. I've seen and heard of some pretty bad bearing failures with...

Sometime in the next month, I'm getting rid of the 4.10 gears and going back to the stock 3.55 gears. I loved the 3.55 gears in my `08 GT for most of the tracks I've been to and the 4.10's are starting to get really annoying for both track days and daily driving. While I have the diff apart...

Well it's that time of year again. The event that started in KOP, then moved to Montgomeryville for more space. The meet am making what we hope is the final move. This years event will be held at Macungie Memorial Park in Macungie, Pa. Located on route 100 and just outside of Allentown this...

I was at Virginia International Raceway with Trackdaze on August 27th and 28th. Trackdaze gave everyone their data tag lap timing system during tech inspection to test the system before they add new features.I'd usually only get a few laps each session where I'd have relatively clean laps and...

I put them on the car this afternoon.

The 6th Annual Sonic Meet/Spring Meet benefiting Make-A-Wish May 12th Due to rain, the event was postponed until Saturday May 12th! Same time, same place! Everyone's favorite springtime event is back for the 6th year in a row. This year we are at a new location which is much bigger and...

My rear calipers are starting to cause a bit of uneven wear. The bottom of the pad is wearing slower than the top of the pad. It seems that the outside edge of the caliper has stretched out. They are the original calipers from Feb. 2005. So if I'm going to be replacing the rear calipers...

I was wondering how much the AMR wheels weight in 18x9. I was also wondering why you don't list the weights of the wheels you sell. It would help make it easier when trying to decide between two wheels. I was looking at the GT4 wheels, but I'm also interested in the AMR wheels if they...

A few photographer friends of mine said they wanted to take pictures of cars in front of what remains of Bethlehem Steel, so I of course offered to bring my car by for a few photos.

Every year for the past six years, Car & Driver rents out Virginia International Raceway and has highly skilled/experienced drivers, some of them who race professionally or have raced professionally, take production street cars around the track's 4.2 mile Grand East course to see how fast they...

Shortly after the Mustang got a rather sharp jolt tonight by hitting a pothole that I didn't see due to rain and dark back roads, the security system horn in the trunk turned on and it won't shut off. Its the horn mentioned in this thread: http://www.s197forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=70933...

and is compatible with the regular 5.0 2011-2012 motors? Its ahrd to believe its $1200? Is it a rebadged canton or moroso? http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts/part_details.asp?PartKeyField=12061

I have one used Bassani 2.5" X pipe. It came with my 2005 Mustang GT when I bought it. I replace the X pipe and high flow cats with Kooks headers and high flow cats. You can either cut your stock exhaust pipes after the stock cats and clamp this to the stock pipes and to the stock over axle...

I have one pair for used Tokico Blue front struts for sale. They came with my car and I removed them when I installed the Koni Sport(Yellow) adjustable front struts for road course use. The previous owner installed them. The previous owner of my Mustang put about 1,000 miles on the car during...

The black piece of plastic under my front bumper on my 2005 GT broke recently. Well actually it decided to fly off the car while doing 120ish MPH at a track day. I removed what was left of it and now I'm wondering if I should make my own belly pan or modify the 2010+ part to fit. The...

Almost all of the gas stations in PA and NJ, the two states I drive in the most, use 10% ethanol gasoline. I have the SCT pro racer package and I was considering making a tune for 10% ethanol gasoline. Most of what I read about 10% ethanol pump gas says that the for E10 the stoichiometric...

I have for sale four 17" factory Bullitt wheels with 255/40-17 and 275/40-17 Nitto NT555 tires mounted and balanced on them. The wheels are in very good shape for being the factory wheels on a 2005 model year daily driven car. They have a few tiny nicks and scratches on the edges that appear...

I'm the 3rd owner of my 2005 GT. The first owner put in comp NSR cams. The second owner wrote down all the mods and all he wrote down for the cams was Comp NSR cams, but not a model name or number. The second owner owned the car for about a year and put about 1,000 miles on it. It was his...

In the past there have been many heated discussions here and on other Mustang forums on if long tube headers on a 3V S197 actually give any significant gains over a good X pipe and better flowing cats while keeping the stock manifolds in a NA car. Some have said that the exhaust side of the head...

I noticed that my rear axle vent was spewing some gear oil this past weekend at the track day at Pocono, especially when we drove the regular direction around the banked turn 1 with the passenger side on the outside of the turn. One of the instructors that has a Mustang said its just a...

A few pics of my Mustang at Pocono Raceway I was at the NASA HPDE & Race this past weekend at Pocono. A couple friends took pictures of my car there.

Today I finally got around to putting the 18x10 Shelby Redlines and 265/35-18 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires on the car. They are for road course use, but I like the wheels and might pick up another set if I can get them cheap. The Pilot Sport cups run wide. Here are the 265/35-18...
