Well we traded in the wifes Harley f-150 and got an 05 stang.Its the 6cyl but is plenty of power for her,she loves it and it is much better on gas than the truck.Just some input for anybody thinking of buying a new one the car is AWESOME it drives like a dream.

Check out the pics in the sig.

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.

I've heard great things about the 2005 mustang. You should be very happy with it. I'm trying to get a GT myself!!!!

swampcat · 05-03-2005, 08:20 PM

strangette do you have any problem with the rear gears whining mine are making noise didn't know if it was common or not

Stangette · 05-04-2005, 01:58 PM

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 !!!!

swampcat · 05-04-2005, 08:28 PM

strangette- it is whining while crusing down the road it is at all speeds when crusing except at coast then it is quiet

Stangette · 05-05-2005, 02:24 PM

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 -
