With Over 200K Miles My GT500 Has So Many Worn Out Parts! It will Cost Me Thousands! 

Body rot only happens if those miles were put on it in the winter where salt is used

@@firedemon2166 I always find it astounding how much rust a lot of cars in central and northern North America have. One of my cars is a 23 year old Toyota, and it has nothing but a few patches of mild surface rust on the underside even after two decades of sitting in the driveway and being driven daily with maybe a bucket of soapy water thrown at it every few months if it's lucky. Really haven't had a problem with any car rusting post 1990.

@@Tragick_Sin LOL, I hope nobody is in it at that time!

Tell me you are a fake fan without telling me you are a fake fan.

How about some 305s but 275s up front. I heard a guy put 305s on all 4 being a guest on Matt farahs letting him test drive his 2002 camaro. If someone can tell me if a square setup actually handles better?

Not at all

Order the new ones and Hickory smoke the vintage ones.

In that boat too. 😢

As do we all. If you live long enough you end up dying.

As I'm a '55 suspension is shot and the body has been patched many times.

Hi Michael. When you posted it was 5.00 o'clock am in New Zealand. But it's Wednesday 😅

Till you see the 1500lbft diesels with 1 million miles. The mustang could last longer with an oil bypass filter

I have numerous customers with Audi 2.0Ts, 2.7Ts, and a handful of 1.8Ts with well over 200k miles, some even approaching 300k.

​@@VorsprungDurchNikWhoa, talk about an extraordinary maintenance bill.

I would say that a third of people that own high performance cars tend to baby them and take care of them well. Thats why most of the older cars on the road that are in pristine condition tend to be older muscle cars and sporty car specials.

Agree. One of the few Fords worth owning

best wives always join in haha

I'd like to see her expression when Tyler and David are together.

That shaft bit was funny lol

That shaft joke was neither subtle nor low key.

Same. My wife's got a 24 Honda but even the older cars she drove were tiptop shape and she's a clean fanatic on the inside :)

Just leave all that stuff for your wife’s boyfriend to take care of.

@@zfunk9 🤣😂

Husbands shouldn't have to worry about that either!

Everytime I sold them, they came with Michelin Defenders with 500-1000 miles or Michelin Cross Climate 2's! 😅😂 It's like the time I know to get rid of a car is buy new tires right around 100k.

For me when the tires need replacement I think about keeping the car and fixing all the minor issues including tires or replacing the car all completely and factor in the money I would have spent in repairs on the old vehicle Tires, injectors, spark plugs, brakes and rotors, new headlights, transmission flush, wheel bearings, bushings and suspension. Etc.

The first car I bought with my own money had a new set of tires. Problem was that it was the cheapest tires available for 13" wheels that the previous owner had bought just so that it could pass the state inspection. However those tires were so cheap that they could not hold a corner a decent speed well. Which led to me having two close calls when the tires gave out on two turns. The last incident was the last straw that led me to replacing all the tires with the best set I could find in a 13" size. Found a good set from Costco at the time that served me and my spirited driving well for the time I had the car.

@@evoman44 Buying anything less than the best tires is always a bad value. Tires are the #1 safety and performance part on any vehicle. By the time you mount and balance tires the cost between the best and the worst isn't that much. The life you save is likely to be your own or someone you care about.

I have put 100k supercharged miles on my stock civic clutch. 140k now... Just don't slip it under load and it'll last.

The stock clutch is GARBAGE in the 2007-2009 GT500. That is just common knowledge in the community. Mine went out at 15K miles and I drive like a grandpa lol. Ford made awful clutches for those few years. This RST clutch isn't even the best option. RXT is. But RST is better than stock for sure.

Can’t handle about 670hp though

You don’t want a strong clutch let the clutch take the abuse. A expensive strong clutch will just transfer the stress to the trans. Stock clutches are easy to replace. To me a clutch is just a maintenance item

👍

Email me through the shop website. Thanks!

Most wholesome shit I've seen today

Same with me...very reliable, but you have to maintain it. oil change at 3k

and the car...

In my case, there was a ground cable that seemed to be tight to the engine block because of corrosion, but it wasn't really. I bought two or three alternators before I found the problem. After that, no new alternators...

Nations is where it's at they have a killer 270 Amp alt for these that changes the actual style of alternator from the factory 6g (crap) to the large case Denso style like 2010 up mustangs got factory. The problem is the style alternator itself. Getting a factory 6g style high output is not the answer. You gotta also change the style of alternator and nations makes one that is a bolt on 270 Amp unit and its great. I went ahead and did the alternator on my 07 before the factory one even failed because I learned from others. People who buy stock replacements go through them like crazy even if you get a stock style 6g ho alternator same thing the 6g style is the issue with them. Get rid of that for the nation's and no more problems. That also covers you if you turn higher than 6200 rpm which wears out regular alternators that came keep up in that range. 6500 is max safe rpm anyways on these with a stock bottom end they have a long stroke and don't like revs much but if you abide by that and give it as much octane as you can these things are stout and live at big power levels even being beat on long as you maintain it properly.

Hell of a lady, Ma Roberts.

Imagine if u didn’t buy a Chevy 😂

and tighten up the rear end. Mine was sloppy from the factory.

There are many Mustangs with way more mileage on the original engine. Over 10 years ago I read a story about a lady that was a travelling salesperson and she had over 670,000 miles on a 1988 GT that she bought new and had done nothing but routine maintenance on it. You call even search 1 million mile Elantra on RU-vid and find the story of another woman who put over 1 million miles on a 2013 Elantra! Hyundai even gave her a new car. Many cars can last if they are taken care of. This car here has lots of life left in it.

I just bought a new Challenger with a stick. I think the clutch is a Warner Buckenwith Stegberner. very smooth and light. a pleasure to drive.

They are polyurethane bushings and give you way better handling. The bushings are from Energy Suspension and you need to grease them through the fittings with silicone grease. If you grease them using the right grease (silicone) they will last way longer than the rubber ones. Those bars are Ford Performance ones made by Eibach for Ford.

They look to be the Ford Performance ones as I have the same bars on an 06 GT. They are actually made by Eibach for Ford and the only difference is the Ford ones are painted blue instead of red. And the Ford ones are less expensive for the exact same thing.
