Q: what would you buy, ford mustang gt shelby or a porsche 911 carrera?
Am looking at getting a hobby car. Am stuck with a few options. Could get a 8-10,000$ ford gt mustang or I could get a 17-20,000$ porsche 911 carrera. I looked at BMW M5 as well and for that price i’d rather go with a 911.
So which one would you choose and why? Also, I am open for other ideas.

A: I would go with the 911. Best gas mileage, awesome race bred, flat-6 boxer engine, It goes over 170mph.

Mustang GT performance does not come close. Handing is bad. Top Speed is very low=146mph.

M5 is limited to 155mph and is a sedan. Not as sporty as the Porsche, which handles and looks better.

Q: What type of gas does a 2003 ford mustang gt take?
I just recently bought a 2003 ford mustang gt and the dealer said it took premium. However i read on the internet that it took regular unleaded. That would greatly help my wallet if it did. Anyone know? Thanks.

A: According to your owners manual 87 octane (regular unleaded) is recommended for a Mustang GT (unless it has been modified)

Here is the link to download (free, courtesy of Fords website) the entire manual. It is in pdf format so it is easily saved to your computer for future reference.

(see page 178 for fuel recommendation info.)

I hope this helps.

Q: How can you tell the difference between a 1997 Ford Mustang GT, and a 1997 Ford Mustang Cobra.?
How can you tell the difference between a 1997 Ford Mustang GT, and a 1997 Ford Mustang Cobra.

A: The hood has to 2 scoops that make it resemble a cobra head, if it has stock rims those are different too. Most have SVT badging and the rear bumper says Cobra. Some have little cobra decals on the front fenders.

Q: How do I remove the radio in a 2002 Ford Mustang GT?
How do I remove the original stereo unit in a 2002 Ford Mustang GT? What information can you tell me about replacing it? Thanks!

A: you have to pop the surrounding tirm off, then remove the screws and it comes right out. don’t freak out just grab it around the radio and pull out. now if it has the mach sound system you might have to use the tool they come two to a pack and you can get them at wal mart or parts house, but you will know if you need it before you pull the trim off b/c there will two holes right on top of each other on both sides of the radio, and you can change the radio out with no problem, but if it is mach there is an amp for every speaker, so you can’t put new speakers without ripping all that out. hope this helps.

Q: How do I make engine modifications to a 2005 Ford Mustang GT?
I am writing a novel called “Geared” about drift racing and included a scene at an auto shop with the mechanic changing a car engine for a Ford Mustang GT 2005 model but how does a mechanic actually do this for this specific car. I looked up how to change a car engine on Wikihow and used that information for the scene but wasn’t sure if different car engines require specific different techniques.

A: you could buy a cold air intake and just install it.
here’s a site where you can buy them: http://www.americanmuscle.com/05-07-mustang-air-intakes.html

If you don’t want to spend that much money then you could just buy some styling mods to install, they won’t do anything, but they make the engine look nice.

Also if you really want to go all out you could install a supercharger: http://www.americanmuscle.com/mustang-superchargers.html

Q: Why are my headlight wire overheating at the switch on my 1989 Ford Mustang GT?
Why are my headlight wire overheating at the switch on my 1989 Ford Mustang GT? I had to replace the old head light switch wiring harness, but copied all wires correctly. However now, when I turn on the headlights, the lead wire for the park lights and the lead wire for the head lights heat up so much they begin to smoke if I don’t turn them off. Any Ideas?

A: Overheating wire means a short. You need to have the skills and tools to try to isolate which positive wire is shorting out. More than likely, the short will be between your wiring harness through the firewall and out to the headlamps.

Q: Is it OK to supercharge a 2005 Ford Mustang GT WITHOUT an intercooler?
I am considering buying a used 2005 Ford Mustang stock GT and supercharging it. The best supercharger for the Mustang GT appears to be a Whipple twin Screw type that produces about 6 psi of boost, and as a result improves HP at the rear wheels to about 405, which is is pretty dramatic. However, this Whipple setup does NOT come with an intercooler. My question is, is it “safe” to bolt on this much power without an intercooler??? Thanks for your answers.

A: yes it is safe to do so, but i would not recommend that. i would rather pay a little more for a kit with an intercooler.

always keep in mind that increased temps under the hood can kill your engine and rob some horses. i had a procharger with an UPGRADED intercooler and it was keeping temps under the stock conditions and making 530 horses on the tires.
there are also intercooled Whipple setups on the market, but the price for those would be a little higher than non intercooled. but it’s worth of paying for an intercooled kit.

however, if you have a stock engine and getting a non intercooled kit, be sure you stay around 5-6 psi and not more than 420rwhp. You also might want to use methanol injection to cool the engine down and add horses.

hope that helps

Q: What is the maximum rim diameter that I can put on a Ford Mustang GT?
I drive a 2009 Ford Mustang GT. I’m looking to get rims for it. However, I know nothing about rims, no idea where I would even procure them, let alone how big I can go. Anyone shed some light on this for me?

A: Well, i would suggest going to a place that sells rims, like where i live there are places like les schwab, discount tire, big o tires, and ask them, but I would assume about a 20″. Largest i would go would be a 17-18″. I’m gonna be putting some rims on a car within a year, and i’m going to put about a 16-18″ rim on. Suggestion on the rim width: go slightly wider on the width (rear only), to get a little better traction, if you plan to mod it. Personally, the mustangs i’ve seen where i live generally seem to go about a 18″ rim. personally i think they look good.

Q: Why wont my door lock actuators work in my 1989 Ford Mustang GT?
Why wont my door lock actuators work in my 1989 Ford Mustang GT? I cant find a listing for a fuse, all fuses are good, no listing for a relay and switch works. I bench tested both actuators and both work well. Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

A: Their has to be a relay somewhere in order for them to work Try looking under the hood

“I disconnected my battery while installing a Stereo in my 2003 Ford Mustang GT,as a result, the doors do not lock automatically right after driving off. How do i fix this ?”

A: Probably need reprogramming. Your owners manual should have the info. I don’t have a copy, so this is the best I can do, the dealer might be able to tell you over the phone, though

Q: where can i find the tranmission dipstick on a maunel 1995 ford mustang gt?

Q: Should I buy a 2009 Ford Mustang GT hardtop or convertible?
I have decided to buy a 2009 Ford Mustang GT and cannot decide if I want a hardtop or convertible. Any suggestions?

A: Go with the hardtop. Convertibles are nice when the weather is good but if it’s cold, really hot or rainy they are no fun. I loved my convertible for about 6 months after that it got old in a hurry.
