thanks i know it would have been even more badass if it was a GT six speeds. BUT insurance doesnt like 17 year olds to have v8s in there 2 door sports cars. so even if i would have a got a older model GT the insurance still would have been another 200 bucks/ month but my dad said he was looking at a gt for himself and said that it really wasnt that much more powerful then the V6.

for the 6speed part. it was the only mustang in the lot. and i was sitting in traffic on the way to school the otherday and got to thinkin. im glad its not a 6 speed cause then i would have to shift every 5 seconds and would just get old every single day going to school.

but my parents suprised me with it. i was about to watermelon my pants when i saw it!

it also came with the XM radio instalment but its soooo scratchy coming through the radio. is there anyway to make it more clear coming through the FM radios?

Pretty sure it can be hard wired into the system so it just switches over to XM and plays like anything else. Playing it off a low frequency FM station always sounds like crap. Take it to your local custom shop and have them see what can be done. Get some rims too, playa.

aight ive been trying to try all the scratchy radios to try to get it to come through. i have a ipod thing that plays off the radio just fine but i cant seem to find a good channel that works right for the xm radio. i mean it came with the car. i had the xm radio. but its not coming through clear enough.

i want to get rims but they are like 800 bucks i dont have. there is so much i could do to this car if only i had money lol. i was looking at body kits but they are like 2,000 dollars lol.

Your post wasn't very clear, the XM came with the car or you already had the unit and now wish to use it in the 'Stang?

Ok. Do you have to plug your XM into the cigarette lighter to power it as well? If so take it to a custom shop and get the whole thing hard wired in, and see if they can wire the Xm directly into the system so it plays like regular radio, a cd or tape would. It gets to be a wired mess if you have all that out in the open and not hard wired.

If the car came XM capable the stereo might actually have an XM option in the default settings. That way you could just switch stereo mode into XM and boom yer playing crisp with no bs fm interference. If you can't get the thing hardwired to play directly, XM has a cassette tape that plugs into the unit and plays the radio through the tape. That's how I have mine set up and it works pretty well. It's not quite CD crisp but very close. I tried to play through the FM stations but it was awful sounding.

yeah mine came with a casset but i dont have a casset player in the mustangs thats why i have to use the fm radio. i havent looked to see if there was a xm mode on the radio yet. ill try that.

i dont have a lighter plug for it either. i just hooked it up like my old one and set the fm frequincies. but ill look to see if there is a xm mode.

I'm not one for automatics, but thats a sexy looking car you've got there

Shifting becomes like breathing, after a short while you only think of it when you think of it. And it's one less intermediate gizmo buffering what's between you and the car.
