Are you looking for a 2011 Ford Mustang?

Q: Mustang!!!!?
I am doing a project for homeschool and I need to know the advanteges of a mustang
I am sorry the horse

A: Since you are posting in “Pets”, I assume you are talking about the horse and not the car.

As a horse, the mustang is basically a “feral” breed. They are wild, and therefore take a bit of effort to “break” and make suitable as a working animal. Additionally, being a wild breed the conformation as well as the personality traits are less consistent than they are among purebred horses.

On the other hand, being “mutts”, their genetic diversity makes them generally more hearty.

You might want ot watch a movie called “Hidaglo” if you are interested in mustangs. It is based on a true story about an ultra distance endurance rider who lived in the early 1900s and was a champion of the need to preserve the wild mustang. One of the big underlying themes was the age old question of the merits of “genetic purity” vs. “heart and soul”.

Q: How much would a 1986 mustang convertible insurance be?
I’m seventeen and I’m looking into getting a this mustang and I wanted to know how much it would be with a the classic car plates on? My friend has a 1979 camaro and his is only $88, but this mustang has a 5.0 so it is bigger than his.

Q: What is the insurance rate on a Mustang compared to a economy sedan?

Q: Where can I find a stock mustang convertible top for 2002?
I might be buying a mustang convertible that just needs a new top to look good.

Where can I find a top that is the same that they come with stock? [Or a better looking one without it being too expensive]

Its tan.
Well I can’t find anything else thats nice around here.

A: Just type “convertible tops” into google and you’ll get dozens of options.

The top itself is pretty cheap but install costs a fortune and it’s way more work than the average do it yourselfer can handle.

Plan on about $1,200 installed.

Secondarily, are you sure you want that car? Mustangs of that age are garbage. (Current owner of a 2000 mustang convertible with 92,000 miles.)

Q: How can you make a 67 Mustang handle big horsepower without a roll cage?
Or is a cage the only way to strengthen the unibody of a Mustang? I know subframe connectors are a joke on these cars. I am running 11.80’s, but it is a street car. I would like to build a chassis and drivetrain to handle (some day!) 700-800 horsepower. My body is already “rippled” from running the e.t. that I do. I’d like to make sure that car is rigid enough to prevent this in the future.

A: if you get into 10 second et’s i believe you have to have a roll cage to race. you should check out chassis specialty shops for proper chassis stiffening.

Q: How to get stripes on my Mustang (inexpensive ways)?
I am planning to get stripes on my Mustang but they are really expensive if i do it in some auto shop. Can i get stickers online which i can stick rather painting?

Please help me with some best inexpensive ways to get stripes.

Well its 2002 GT brown , so which stripe color goes good?

Thanx in advance

A: couple of sugjestions here reasoable priced as well. lets start with the pattern. are you planning on rally stripes ( 2 side by side accross the top?) a lazer light would be awsome for this but barring this start with simple string and run it from the front of the car to the rear pull it tight. you want this line dirrectly down the center. measure that its exactly the same from engine hood left and right sides, in the center of the roof and on the rear most part of the deck. when good, put a piece of masking tape under the string at the rear center and front and pesil a line where the the string is at. now measure from that mark outward aprx 1 foot and place another piece of tape setting the outer edge of the tape as your marker. do the same on the other side depending on how wide you want them appart try running a test line . you can use a chalk line with white or blue chalk get a friend to hold the one end on the tapes edge at the rear pull it tight and hold it tight to the same edge at top the switch and repeat from the front. you’ll have an easily removable test mark to view and shift to taste. when satisfied you have two options paint or pin stripe tape kit. the tapes are available in many different colors and aprx 4 inch wide. you have to have a trust worthy friend to help you apply this as you only have one shot at setting it on. thats why i told you of the line previously. both paint and stripe reqiure you to have a clean surface so give it a good bath. i’d advide ruffing the surface for adhesion for the tape not much needed though simple scotch brite pad staying in the area to get the tape. you could also paint the stripe with duplicolor spray paint ( it’s a better grade of spray paint )meant to touch up car paint and a large aray of colors to choose from. a bronze would look hot on your color I think, anyway you use the blue masking tape for this basiclly do the same as i said before lay out your planned stripe area, step back check it for your satisfaction width and location adjust as needed, use some mediem to fine wet dry sand paper and dull the suface to be painted for adhesion wipe with tack cloth as you must keep it lint free. tape and paper the area’s not being painted and aply a light coat of the paint from the back of the roof to the front staying 4 to 6 inches from the surface. if you can find it get one of those spray can sprayer handles it gines you better control. as you get to the front windshield (also taped and papered) spay just past where the roof meets it (less runs)do another coat this time a little heavier but still in one continuos motion and past the edge as before. do the trunk and hood in the same manner. let dry over night. I would advise purchasing the clear coat spray from duplicolor and put a coat over your stripes after it dries completely. hope this helped a bit

Q: What is the difference in insurance between a v6 mustang and a v8 mustang?
I’m 16 years old and have a v6 mustang and I am thinking about buying a gt but what is the approximate differnce in the payment?

A: Your age will definately be a huge factor. I’m alot older than you and when I bought my GT the insurance was about $200 more a year over the regular stang due to the difference in the price of the car. (Well worth it to me though!) That is with a clean driving record, no accidents/no points for over 10 years at the time.

Q: What is the difference between a mustang 2 front end and a 1990 mustang lx front end?
we are looking for a front end to put into my ‘56 ford pickup and want a mustang 2 front end, but my dads friend just bought a 1990 mustang lx for some parts and said we could have the front end but we dont know if it will fit or what the difference is between the two front ends. any info would be great. thanks

A: a mustang II front end doesnt have shock towers. alot of drag racers used them before the aftermarket guys started building similar set ups. find a mustang II front end if you can. good luck

Q: How do I get my 2007 Mustang interior lights to turn off faster after turning the key to the “off” position?
I was told there was a setting for this, but I do not have the car’s user manual yet. I hate sitting in a dark parking lot waiting for those two spotlights that are on me to turn off!!!! The car is just a basic Mustang (not GT or Shelby). Thanks so much for your suggestions.

A: unless its controled by the computer its either on or off no faster to it.you can take the bulbs out completey but that will put you in the dark all the time maybe thats what you want is it?

Q: How much horsepower can a supercharged mustang v6 get up to?
I have a v6 mustang 2002 and i wanted to put a supercharger in it. How much HP cud i get up to? I already hav dual flowmaster exhaust and a cold air intake. Also, what other mods wud b the best improvement for the money?

A: It depends on the supercharger, though most will gain around 80-100. That would give you roughly the same power as the GT.

Q: Where can I buy a diecast mustang with a custom paint job?
My old lady wants a black mustang(late model) with pink pinstripes and I cannot afford the real thing so I wan’t to get her a toy as a joke. Any help?

A: Here are some nice looking black mustang models:

I’m not sure what kind of pin striping you had in mind but you could go to any craft store and get some pink stripe decals and you’ll end up with a nice looking gift.

I bet she’ll get a kick out of it!

Q: How can you tell if a Mustang has a supercharger? Is it the sound?
I’ve seen many Mustangs’ on the streets..and everyone one of them sounds differently.. I looked up a mustang with a supercharger and it sounds incredible..and loud.. does that mean every other mustang that sounds like that on the street has a supercharger? How do you tell what has what? Do the GTs’ come with it built in?

A: You first clue will be the year and type of mustang, no GT mustangs come with a supercharger stock. The 2003 and 2004 mustang cobras come with a supercharger stock and are awesome cars. The 2006 thru 2010 shelby gt 500 have a supercharger. The older saleen mustangs are hit and miss, some do and some dont stock. All the 351 saleens have a stock supercharger and the others are hit and miss. Same with the older rousch stangs, all the stage 3 rousch will have superchargers but thats it. As far as the sound goes, yes there is a very distinct whine when a car has a supercharger, its very unique and you can deffinately tell the difference between one with a supercharger and one without. Then obviously the best way to tell is to look under the hood. Superchargers sit right on top of the engine, you cant miss them.
