Re: New Mustang
When I read the first post, I thought it said, "traded in the wife, Harley, and F-150." That's what college does to you, I tells ya! Hehehe.
Yes, apparently the V6 Mustangs are not the slouches of yore! More horse than a 1993 5.0L V8. Funny, eh? Go have fun while it's new, and make your entire neighborhood jealous.

Re: New Mustang
swampcat - i need to know in what condition it is whining - when going in reverse from park - while moving ?? Mine makes a click sometimes when reversing from park if the button on the stick is not fully engaged while doing so - it is best to let the gear fully engage in any direction prior to moving the car ... most people make the mistake of putting the gear in drive after reversing and meanwhile the car is still moving !!!!

Re: New Mustang
swampcat - sounds like a gear or cam timing to me - this should not happen on a new car ... (sounds being so frequent) or another possibility - may sound strange but i heard of it before - the positioning of brakes shoes off a bit .. cant say for certain but check it out w/ your shop...(my school of thought on a car symptom is this - if it is not normal behaviour for your car - have it checked)... hope this helps -
