Pinging sounds like a couple BB's shaking in a Coffee Can.
Check for exhaust leaks. I thought I was pinging, but it turned out to be some rusted welds in the x-pipe. sounded exactly the same as pinging too!
Oh yeah, dont put 87octane in a GT.

Why waste money on premium if ford set the car up to run on 87? If you haven't advanced timing or done extensive mods to a gt 93 is not needed. Machs and cobras recommend premium but they are not gts.

+1 on the 87, the timing curve is wide enough to run on 87

with gas prices as high as they are up here in CT, im totally fine with 87...$4.04 a gallon for 93 is rediculous
