water wetter really works. If where you live doesn't snow you can drop your % to around 15% coolant and 85% water.

I have used Water Wetter in the past, but not sure if I'll put it in my new 'Stang. Never really had any problems with it.

Purple Ice also works very well I put it in mt 85 t-bird without a fan shroud and it helped prevent over heating ans well as droped the timp alot after fanshroud was added

It does work but I doubt you will never need it in your stang. We use it in our rock crawlers but that is only bc we never get going fast enough to run lots of air through the radiator.
