Hello all! I just bought a 2006 Screaming Yellow GT Premium coupe and i am loving it! This is my first Mustang - infact first american car. Yeah, new Mustang is too good to be passed upon. I traded in my 2005 Mazdaspeed Miata for it which was proving very difficult to be used as a daily driver/commute car.
Something bothering me though is that i had driven a 2005 GT and I could roll down its windows by holding down the unlock button on the key-fob for 2 sec - my new 06 does'nt seem to do that and the owner's guide also mentions nothing of it (I vaguely remember reading about it in the 05 manual). I do have the active security system and the upgrade interior package. Also the 05 could roll up the windows if i use the key in driver's door by turning it to the right and holding it for 2 seconds - a related feature.
Secondly, my standard 17" painted alloy wheels looks smaller than the machined 17" ones on the 05. I browsed TireRack and found these 20" Zinik Z18 Minardi wheels for a good price and ordered them with BFG gForce TA KDW2 rubber: http://www.tirerack.com/servlet/Cal...x=15&filterSize=&filterFinish=&filterSpecial=
They weigh 28 lb each so i assume they are not too heavy for GT (any idea how much the original Ford wheels weigh?) Now after browsing this site briefly, i noticed none of you seems to have gone for larger than 18" wheels; do they adversely affect handling/performance? Would i be better off sticking with factory wheels than these?
Thanks in advance for any help!
