#2404 of 2845 GT in the snow by piason Oct 13, 2006 (8:30 am)
Replying to: 06v6lover (Sep 23, 2006 7:46 am) I'm thinking of getting a 06 or 07 GT but wanted to know how it is in the snow? I not asking about 1 foot of snow but 1 to 4 inches. I don't want to change tires, this will be my daily driver. I live in Philly and we get some snow each year.   Thanks Replies to this message: lmm (Oct 13, 2006 12:37 pm) rbleland (Oct 16, 2006 12:24 pm) h8mstng (Dec 22, 2006 4:51 pm)

Replying to: piason (Oct 13, 2006 8:30 am) It's rear wheel drive. You might need snow tires if you plan on a lot of driving in snow.

Replying to: piason (Oct 13, 2006 8:30 am) I would not do it without snow tires. They make all the difference in the world. IMO the GT on All-Seasons would be hard to handle in snow.

My Mustang V6 is suppose to be built today. I hope they aren't too hungover in Flatrock celebrating the Tigers win.   Mark. Replies to this message: explorerx4 (Oct 16, 2006 5:29 pm)

#2410 of 2845 winter storage in the northeast by psycozman Nov 13, 2006 (8:59 am)
i am putting my 06 mustang gt conv. in the garage for the winter and have never done it before.. any advise would be appreciated !!! i live in ny where it gets very cold and we get alot of snow.the garage is not heated or insulated so it can get very cold in there but it is dry. questions that come to mind:    should i use a car cover and if so which one/kind ?    i got the car new from the dealer 6 months ago and haven't waxed it yet but water still beads up.should i wax it before storing it ?    should i disconnect the battery or not ?    how often should i start it and how long should it run ?    put it on blocks or just move it a little when i run it to change tire position ?    and anything else someone can think of...thanks !

Replying to: psycozman (Nov 13, 2006 8:59 am) Yes, use a car cover. Preferably one that is breathable. Yes, definitely wax it before storing it. Yes, disconnect the battery. You should probably run it for at least 10 minutes per week. I would say drive it for those 10 minutes that you run it per week. That way, all the fluids will get a good working out (tranny fluid, differential fluid, brake fluid, etc.). I would suggest having the air in your tires replaced with nitrogen.

Replying to: tayl0rd (Nov 13, 2006 12:17 pm) If you're going to run it every week, don't bother disconnecting the battery. If you have access to A/C power in the garage, you may want to consider a top-notch battery charger like the Battery Tender. I use one on my 10KW generator, and it's awesome.   If you DO run it every week, I'd be careful to run it more than 10 minutes. You want to make sure that all the gasoline that may have seeped into the oil burns off, and that the water is all evaporated out of the exhaust system.   If you drive it, be careful about picking up road salt.   I'd probably just disconnect the battery, put it on a Battery Tender, toss a cover over it, and come back in March or April.   But that's just me.   Good luck!

The Mustang GT not only made Road and Track's best 12 cars under $30,000, but is singled out as one of the best of the bunch.
