Default i'm kind of concerned...

i have an auto v6 2005 convertible... and when i push it hard at the start, it doest burn out or even make a little sound... it just starts pullin slowly till it hits i believe the 3rd gear then it start pickin faster, i test drove a similar car before i bought mine and it burned out and i felt that car had more power (too bad it was sold when i went back to buy it) but i noticed that my car when it hit the second gear i hear a little sound like air goin out, idk how to explain it, sound a little llike a supercharger... but if feels like my older 98 grand prix gt has more power than my mustang, specially at the star.... do you guys think there is something wrong with my car, or thats how they are ?


thanks in advance....

i have an 06 manual i dont have any problem squeeling the tires so i cant answer that but the air thing between shifts i know all about that. i took it to the dealership when i first heard it and like always i had to go back and make it do it cuz they couldnt figure it out. they said that there is nothing wrong with it. mine only does it when i run it really hard and dump the clutch in second. the squeeling tires thing, do you have trac control? if so that could be the problem. i dont know just a guess.

Try this:

Turn your key to accesories position, like you were just going to listen to the radio without starting your car. Wait until your dashboard indicators stop blinking, then depress your gas pedal all the way to the floor slowly...and hold it there for a second......remove foot from gas pedal. Remove key from ignition.....wait 10 seconds. Re-insert your key and start your car. Then go try to do a burnout.....let me know what you think.

Sounds like you are in Fuel Saver "Granny Mode"

You need to gat an Xcal tuner, a CAI and a performance muffler. Vmp, Bama and others sell packages for the V6 Mustang. They WILL turn your Mustang V6 automatic around and it will drive like a different car. Also the fastest naturally aspirated bolt on V6 Mustang is an automatic(Boss 245--13.898@97.84)!!! So don't believe these guys when they tell you that you need a stick to be fast. Good luck!
