Ford Mustang fans have had much to celebrate over the past few years. Models like the Mustang Boss 302 and the 2013 Shelby GT500 have not only elevated the entire Mustang brand to new heights, but also breathed new life into the American muscle car wars. And the ultimate winner in all this? You...
Recently graduated from college, looking to buy my first car: I'm debating between a used Lexus RX or just getting a 60's Ford Mustang super cheap and rebuilding it. Which would be my best bet? (Please factor in cost of repairs, fuel, and insurance in Texas)
I’ll say without hesitation that this has been the most enjoyable “flip” vehicle I’ve had the pleasure to own. Therein lies another aspect to buying cheap cars, fixing them up and selling them—sometimes you kind of fall in love with your project. I’m not sure I love this Mustang, but if the...
What then of these newest, most powerful, and most promising brace of ponies: the Shelby GT500 and the Camaro ZL1? Where do they fit in the pantheon of great Detroiters, of muscle cars, and of driver’s machines?
Its suspension is noticeably softer than the 302, with a higher degree of roll and vertical motion. It still feels rather planted, but it requires more thought, lacking the ability to charge into a turn. The balance is impressive, and steering with the throttle is definitely a viable option. It...
Over the last 13 or so years I’ve made at least 70 passes down sanctioned quarter-mile drag strips, most of which involved piloting cars not ideally suited for such activity. By not ideally suited, I’m talking old school Taurus SHOs with manual transmissions that tended to explode after a bit of...
Overall, the Ford Mustang remains a solid choice for the driving enthusiast, even if that enthusiast can’t opt for the fire-breathing 5.0-liter V-8. Power in this car is decent, and with its fresh new looks, upgraded technology suite, and optional suspension upgrades, it remains a relative...
So, at this point I’m supposed to regale all the faithful Flip This Car readers with an unlikely and slightly wacky auto adventure. For part four of the last series I entered my Buick Roadmaster in an SCCA Rallycross event, and to keep the fish-out-of-water spirit alive I turned to the Michigan...
my 2003 mustang that i just bought doesnt have break lights and i have no idea how to fix it because its not the bulb. i dont know which fuse it is because there isnt anything that shows the break lights and i ended up messing up the power locks and the windsheild wipers so i am really lost...
I was given some rotors by a co-worker who owns a 2011 Ford Mustang GT and need to replace the brakes soon on my 300, and would like to replace the rotors at the same time if these work. Can I use them on my car?
In just over a month I’ve already tallied close to 2000 miles behind the wheel of the 5.0. Does that mean I enjoy driving this car? In a word, yes, but it’s a touch more complicated than a one-word answer. The complete road test will be forthcoming in part three so I’ll refrain from sharing the...
So I'm deciding between these 3 cars for my car when I graduate this year. Looking to spend in the 20-22k range, keeping in mind that I still have 6 months for cars to depreciate a bit more.
I think I could probably get the 2011 v6 mustang premium for the least amount. I could probably find one...
Through risk comes reward, or at least that’s the plan with this, the first all-new chapter in Winding Road’s Flip This Car saga since the ill-fated Subaru Legacy turbo graced these digital pages back in the summer. This ragtop is my car—my name is on the title and I’ll be the one digging it out...
I just bought an 06 GT w/ the 1000 Shaker and love it. However, There isn't an aux plug for my ipod. I have to listen to my ipod so if I install an aftermarket cd player would it look stupid? What is your opinion. I liked the Shaker system so would getting a new player mess with that?
