weight

So the whole family crammed in my new '14 GT this afternoon for an airport pickup and 100 mile drive to the suburbs. Interestingly enough, the stang responded in a few different ways. Weight distribution was 300lbs front, 400lbs rear, 50-65lbs trunk. First, and most obvious, there was...

Hey guys, So, I've been driving my 99 V6 with it's ugly stock base model wheels around for a little over a year now, and it's time to upgrade! I'm only really looking at 2 options as far as wheels go. One route is the stock 99-04 GT takeoffs that I could grab off off Kijiji for $300 with...

Hey guys not sure if this topic has been discussed on AFM or not but heres my question. I own a 2001 V6 3.8L and usually when i change my oil i put 10W-30 in it even though the recommended is 5W-20. Do you guys think that this is a bad choice and will affect my engine Negatively (besides MPG...

Sorry if this has been posted anywhere else, but I couldn't find it. I have a 2006 V6 'vert with the 16" wheels. They look semi-decent, but I want something bigger. I want to buy some 18" wheels. My concern is weight, as it seems the reduction in tire mass is not as significant as the...

I was looking around at the offerings for GT500 "new take off" wheel packages and had a question regarding weight. The 2010 wheels are forged and should weigh less, correct? I can't find numbers anywhere. I was wondering if anyone on here has found or taken the time to weigh their wheels. I am...

Hello All, So I've been doing some research into new wheels for my '05 Mustang GT. What I've found is that I'd like to get 18" x 9.5" in the front and 18" x 10" in the rear. I'm willing to give on the 18" x 10" in the rear but it does sound appealing to me. I know a lot of people use the...

Hey guys and gals, We have all discussed many ways to lose weight off our obese bodies, but one that hasn't come up is doing something about the rear bumper. The rear bumper on our stangs are made of extremely thick steel and they are umbareably heavy. So to lose some easy weight, we can change...

Hey, I was at the strip last night with my 05 GT and ran a [email protected] which i thought was a bit high. I have a tune, 4.1 gears, pulley, Drag radials etc and was expecting low 13's. I then weighed the car (and me!) at 3770, which seemed HEAVY! Now im not a big fella (about 180#) so this seemed a...
