Default New Guy Thinking About Stang

I have been lurking around here for some time just have not posted a lot. Usually found everything just doing searches. However I got into a little trouble posting something yesterday and want to be a "GOOD GUY" here. What kind of common problems with the 2005 up versions. Thinking about trading my Twin Turbo Corvette and would like more info on these models. Thanx!...Neil

Why trade a TT vetter for a Mustang? Just curious.

Kind of the above, this project is done. Back in the day I would exchange a blonde for a red head and then a brunette. Married now so its easier just to change cars when I get bored!

05-06 some had a water leak in the firewall passenger side, check carpet. Spark plugs on 05-07 1/2 were POS design and tend to break. Look up the tsb. I bought my 06 used 16k miles back in Oct. Its been a fun journey. Going from a tt vette to a stang will be a shock. The real good thing will be the mods are way cheaper. Vettes like my vipertruck have that "premium" applied to the cost of mods. If you can keep the vette and get a stang too....best of both worlds.
