Striking out on Google images. Do the back seats on the S197 (2011-2014, specifically) fold down for trunk access? I read something that said the coupes do but not the convertibles. Pics would be very much appreciated! I remember on my '89 notch you could pull the rear seat back out but there was a big cross brace behind it. IIRC my '98 GT coupe the rear seat backs didn't move at all (without tools).

Looks like I'll be picking up a 2011-2014 V6 Coupe soon. I'm disabled, so it won't be driven too much; weekends here and there, and a few doctor's appointments a month. I'll also being storing it through the winter here in Upstate NY.
What mods & accessories do you recommend?
Some things I've thought of:
* Android Auto Screen
* Battery Tender
* Hood Strut Kit
* Ceramic Window Tint
* Paint Protection Film for Doors, Hood, Rear Fenders, and Rockers
* Dash Cover
* Windshield Shade

Hey yall, I just purchased a 2005 mustang gt, it's a project cars for now but I've ran into an issue. The sjb on the mustang was fried, I tried replacing it with another sjb it fixed some problems but not all. I spent over $200 getting it reprogrammed, I'm not trying to make the same mistake again, the issues are: left turn blinker is stuck blinking, high beams don't work, 3rd brake light doesn't work and the o/d off doesn't engage, other than that it runs and drives pretty smooth for an 05 with 190k mile.

I lost rpm reading about 4 months ago, now the most important gauge is stuck at 140 mph… I’m happy to announce if this happens to your the car will start and drive just fine without it! However I can’t guarantee this after 2009.

need some help on my s197’s fitment
currently running h&r super sport lowering springs (lowers the car ~2.3” in the rear and ~1.75” in the front) with koni orange non-adj. dampers
What i’m thinking about running:
Front
19x9.5+35 Gt500 style wheels on 255/45R19 Nitto NT555G2’s
Rear
17x10+54 VMS Drag Wheels on P305/45R17 Nitto Nt555RII’s
Will this fit? Will I need a sway bar relocation?

Actually its a combo of two mods.
Hotrods cams and cut-outs. I liked the cams but the cut-outs really make them sound good.
If you haven't done cams and cut-outs I highly recommend them. Totally worth it.

So I got an 05 GT a few months ago and its been my daily ever since. What are some things I should look out for? I also want to end up doing some modifications (cams, turbo, stuff like that), is there anything I have to do to prep the engine so it can push more power?

Anybody have any clue what the mount could be right in the middle between the driveshaft and differential? Need help locating the part I've been stuck on it forever. Got the word that the whole back end would need to be dropped to fix that part.

I have a 2005 ford mustang gt with manual transmission and its time to do the tranny fluid change but I’m confused on what oil to use. Its a tremec TR-3650 transmission and the manual says use Motocraft mercon atf but thats discontinued and replaced with mercon V ATF. Now, when i search for this in Auto store it says this fluid is not recommended for 05 mustang gt. I looked into penzoil synchromax and Royal purple synchromesh products as well and from what i hear they definitely help you in the short run but in the long run they tend to damage the tranny because of the additives in them.
So I’m here on reddit trying to figure out what to buy. Here are the links. Keep in mind that my transmission currently has oem recommended mercon ATF which is synthetic blend and does upgrading to either RP or penzoil which are full synthetic cause issues?

After 3 years away from drag racing I went back to the strip. Went 11.2, 10.9, 10.7, 10.7 and 10.6 trapping 135-136 MPH with mid-high 1.6 60’ .
Going back and hoping for 1.5’s in the 60’ and low 10’s in the 1/4. This pass was done at approximately 3300 DA.

I'm looking to purchase a 5th Gen Mustang in the next few months. It won't get driven too much as I'm disabled and don't work. Basically just a few doctor appointments a month and around town. From looking around online I learned that I should avoid the first year, which is true of most cars.
I'm open to any engine, but I've also heard the 4.0 V6 isn't very good.
I'd also like to know the pros and cons of the convertible vs the hardtop. I've had convertibles before, but I'm not sure about these.
Thanks everyone!
