Replying to: aladdinsane (Nov 04, 2007 8:47 pm) I don't want to discourage you, but Mustangs and snow don't mix too well (even w/TC). Do you get frequent snowfalls where you are? If so you might want to think about the Hyundai (maybe as a second car).

#2673 of 2847 orders by 08pony Nov 05, 2007 (7:32 am)
Congrats redpony08. My ordered car is also v6 prem. Our local dealers only have a couple 08's on the lot. None like I ordered - v6 prem, pony, heated seats, sirius, safety & security package, leather, chrome exhaust tip, auto, dark candy apple red/ black. I will continue to pester dealer. (I know he is sick of me)

Replying to: gzgtp (Nov 05, 2007 6:23 am) Mustangs do fine in occasional snow. TC helps until you completely loose traction and then you may need to shut it off to allow the wheels to dig down to find traction under the snow. If you drive in snow or ice regularly you'll want a separate set of winter wheels and tires though.

Rain on the way in to work this morning had my TC working hard. Maybe I shouldn't be so aggressive in the rain...hmm.   Mark. Replies to this message: baggs32 (Nov 06, 2007 3:35 pm)

Maybe I shouldn't be so aggressive in the rain...hmm.   I learned my lesson very early regarding a GT and the rain. Almost kissed a concrete barrier on an onramp 2 months after I bought it last year.   It was scary Mark. But really fun too!

Careful....just had a kid put his into a guardrail. Upside is he put on the Shelby 500 front cap for his replacement. You can get the parts for around $2K.

Replying to: gzgtp (Nov 07, 2007 6:22 am) Nah, West Palm Beach, but the monsoon thunderstorms here in South Florida make up for the blinding blizzards. Instead of salt on the road we have it in the air all the time

Replying to: gzgtp (Nov 07, 2007 6:22 am) Nope - Atlanta. I'm just repeating what I've heard dozens of people say who do live in the Northeast and drive RWD vehicles. Replies to this message: baggs32 (Nov 08, 2007 10:06 am)
#2681 of 2847 Gasp and Go, Low Speed Lurch by coach1522 Nov 07, 2007 (4:53 pm)
I have a 2006 Ford Mustang GT, automatic transmission, with 40,000 miles. The problem I am experiencing is what I call a low speed lurch or a gasp and go. I press down on the accelerator evenly, then all of a sudden it takes off. I back my car into my garage up a slight incline on a gravel driveway, 50% of the time, when it takes off the tires spin and gravel is thrown on my car. Has anyone had a similar experience? Or more importantly a solution? Dealer can't fix.
