Sorry got the letter's all mixed up. It's Meguiars NXT. I use the Tech wax once a month and follow with the spray wax to freshen it up.

I got the Premium V6 and it came with TCS included and I found out something else driving in the snow. It will also limit engine rev, I couldn't cut any donuts until I turned it off because the engine wouldn't go above 1500 - 2000 rpm.

Anyone notice the positraction(lock) on our mustangs suck.... St. Motorsports shimmed up my rear diff. when installing my 3:73 gears and now one wheel will not spin unless the other one does.
. You can tell the diffrence.

I don't know about Posi.. but.. I know that when you nail it.. BOTH Rear tires burn off rubber at the same time!

My wheels are Ford Racing Wheels... Polished Aluminum.

Have you had it up on a lift and seen if both wheels lock or spin at the same time? After 7000 miles mine didn't

I asked the dealer about a limited slip option in the 2006 GT. He couldn't find any information about it any where. Doing research on the web, I found out it is on all 2005/6 GTs. However, my understanding of the limited slip is this. Since it is enabled/defeated electronically, it is using (minimum) the ABS as mentioned to control slippage. Additionally, electronic traction control typically controls timing and/or RPM. What I would like is to turn off the traction control (easy enough- switch) and get a true posi-lock or LSD or something to that effect. It must be available. -Joe
