05 GT Who's idea was this?
I went on stang cruise Sunday, one of the guys there had an 05 GT and I learned something about this car I really don't like.
There is no throttle cable linkage on this car. Im sure some of you know this already but I didn't. Theres a sensor connected to the gas pedal that tells the sensor at the throttle body to advance as you mash the gas.  Don't dig that at all. What happens 10 years from now when one of those sensors takes a crap?

It's a cool thing, you can tweak the rate that it opens the trottle blade. The military has been using that technology for a while, it's reliable.

Re: 05 GT Who's idea was this?
well it increases thottle response by alot. the only thing that sucks ford used this to close the thottle blades during shifts to help prolong the life of the tranny. it also shuts down power under "aggresive driving" but superchips have a repromgramer that reprograms the ecu and by fixing the computer interfrence u gain like 27 hp(off the top of my head) to the wheels. yes i am dead serious.

Yep, there is power to be gained. I took my buddies 2005 GT out for another drive, came across a 2005 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT while on my way to London on the M4, he tried to shake me in the straights, I don't think so, but as soon as we came into a sweeping turn, the Bentley toasted me. The Stock suspension needs help. We ordered some Eibach Pro springs, I hope this helps. The Mustang begain to float at higher speeds in those wide turns which really has put me off, but the Stang is really not meant for that type of driving coming from the factory. We hope the new springs will improve the road handling. From what I have seen posted on them, it should help a lot. It will bring the center of gravity down about 1 1/2"s, and a little bit stiffer is always good, well to a point.

Hmmm well the throttle blades closing between shifts to save the tranny doesn't surprise me at all, look at the 94-95 computers. The fact that the computer interference can be taken out of the equasion is good. 27hp gain to the wheels sounds a little overrated. To me that means that if they had just used the cable in the first place than this car would be putting out 320hp or better stock. Am I right?
As far as reliability is concerned. This is the first year this cable less throttle has been used. (not even a year) We don't know how reliable it is yet. Reliablity is determined by the quality of parts used. And secondly after learning from the dealership that they shitcan parts on anything over 10 yrs old just puts a bad taste in my mouth. I mean for the guy who's planning on keeping it for the long haul now you've got something else to go bad that you never had to worry about before.

Re: 05 GT Who's idea was this?
Yeah...I got banned for 'having an attitude' with a moderator in a forum about voicing your opinion. Oh well. Oh yeah..then another moderator thought it was necessary to double the length of time I was banned for. I didn't even know what I did. And even to this day I can't figure out what I said that made them ban me. Oh well. The past is the past. I'm glad someone missed me. 8-)
