I have had a blast with the car. I wasted time and money on pony cars in the past. (I still have a '06) (love the new body) But I believe I got more bang for the buck with the XFire. This thing runs circles around the stang. My car is stock with 12,000 one (old -geez) owner miles. I have to admit he took car of it. I too, drive like an old geez. (Just don't try and race.) I have a tendacy to feed the oats. Get up and go is outrageous. Any help on this matter will be appreciated.
The OEM TPM sensors will work on some aftermarket wheels, but not all. I wanted to use the OEM sensors on my new Stern wheels, but the tire guy was worried they would not seal right. I was there and could see what he was talking about, so I went with regular chrome valve stems and removed the indicator light out of the dash.
