Got a new 2006 GT Mustang....

[dd3keegs]

I always loved the color blue. It's sweet! My brother had an old 69 Fastback in blue...same kind vibe. Now to start saving for the 2009 Challenger! [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

I love these new 'stangs. If I didnt have kids, there'd be a GT my garage.

Congrats.

Yeah 4.6L...The GT premium package is great! Shaker 500 Sound system with 6CD changer and MP3 playability, 300HP, 3 valve heads, leather interior, Pirelli tires with Bullitt Rims, "My Color" dash. It moves quick and handles well. I will bolt on some extra HP with aftermarket Steeda parts. The dealership I got it through are associated with Steeda. They should have made this car with at least 350HP. But, then where would the aftermarket parts companies be?

Nice car, bro. [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

I bought a brand new Mustang GT in 1986 (first year of fuel injection) and that car was the heat. Boy, do I miss that car.

Re: Got a new 2006 GT Mustang....

Have you researched after market parts with this engine control system on the new ones?

This fly by wire setup seems to have limited a lot of the bolt ons even on the 4.6s. The computer systems are truly an issue I believe. Something to do with the multi redundancy safeties from electronic throttle control? Haven't read much about them other than hearing it is involved.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah...the Computer will have to be reflashed for optimum performance. Steeda has a $399.99 Computer flash recommended for their Cold air intake, under pulley and Exhaust. They claim at least 30HP Boost after reflash. HotRod magazine did a bolton project with a 4.6L with Elderbrock Fuel injection system, Aluminum heads, moderate cam upgrade and headers. It got 400+ HP out of it.
