    3:73 gears, what do you think about this?

    In My Honest Opinion, 3.73 is the absolute MAX unless you wish to degrde the practical use of the car. Gas milage and drivability will decrease above that. Engine wear will increase. Also, unless one is actually drag racing, the higher the gear the more you lose the feel of the engine torque...

    Why I'm going with a V-6

    You can sell me your Cobra and buy a V6! (Assuming it's low mileage and not chopped up.) Other than that, If you're a driver, you can do anything with a V6 manual that you can do with the GT, on the public roads. Just drive in the powerband or just push your foot down if you want to go...

    Color Choices Poll

    I talked to a dealer over the phone who had seen a Mineral Grey go through. He said it was really great looking. He also liked the Satin Silver with Red, but didn't like the Red interior with most of the other colors he'd seen. Of course, I would have liked white vinyl interior, standard...

    Shaker 1000 ?

    I don't think the subs you get in the 1000 are 10". I think they're 8", or 6". And the 'audiophile' speakers aren't audiophile speakers, I don't believe. I'm sure they are inexpensive paper cone (which can be good but these aren't going to be). And 1000 watts peak is probably about 25 maybe 50...

    Magnaflow needs YOUR input- V6 exhaust system pictures- single or dual?

    I think some of you know more than I do about putting dual exhausts on a V6. Could we start at the beginning and address things who sells and installs a dual system on your V6 (new and old models) and like what the effect on the engine management system is, how can the ECU be programmed to take...

    Automatics vs. Manuals

    The automatic is a FIVE speed and is suposed to be excellent. In 99% of driving it will shift faster and be in the proper gear more often than the five speed. You would be a faster driver in the automatic except in an absolute drag race from 0 to top speed. That said, I'm getting a manual...

    Color Choices Poll

    I think I've figured how to post a poll. Excuse me if a previous poll has been posted, but this is a major issue and deserves to be revisited from time to time. I'm also suggesting interior combinations that make sense to me. If your prefered combo isn't here, please spell it out. Pick two that...

    I hate to tell you, but the photos I'm getting when I click that link aren't an '05.

    sold 69 stang for new 2005gt

    I don't know what kind of shape it was in, if it was restored or not, but if it was in great shape, I wish you'd a sold it to me. What did it need, everything? A friend of mine paid $15,000 last year for a 1973 Mach 1 that was in excellent, restored condition with numbers matching. But...

    07 Cobra information, specs/prices/due date

    By the way, with all these new variations on the V8 coming out so soon, are our new GTs going to become immediately obsolete? I bet the new models don't come out that powerful, that fast.

    Newbie - Would like opinion

    In my opinion, the only thing that goes with black exterior is black, dark charcoal interior. Gray just looks like you want something that doesn't show the dirt, like if you hhave children that are always getting in the car with muddy shoes and vomiting, or something. But it just always looks...

    07 Cobra information, specs/prices/due date

    ...tuned for 370hp ...supposed to appear for the '06 M/Y with some final tweaking to be set in stone by Jan/Feb 2005.' An '06 midyear introduction. You mean mid year 2006? Aren't those going to be pretty pricey numbers?

    Interior and Exterior Color Choices

    I find this color choosing to be a real pisser. I had just redecided on Silver with the Red leather interior and called my salesman to change it, and now I'm thinking I don't want the red interior, after all, just black. I wish someone knew what I should do.

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    All GM had to do with their GTO was to have made it look like a 1969 GTO. Or 1970 Chevelle. It would have been gangbusters. But nooooooo it has to look like a Celica.

    Can you put together a better stereo for $600 or less?

    Any aftermarket system would be better than the Shaker system, if it was properly installed. (Easier said than done). The best thing about the Shaker 500 system is that it has enclosures in the doors for the door subwoffers. Ported enclosures. The subwoffers occupying those enclosures are low...

    2005 Ford Mustang GT is the "Best Muslce Car"

    I can't even get up the motivation to stop in to Pontiac and look at a GTO. I was all excited and ready to get one when they were announced. WHAT a disappointment that car turned into! I do not understand the looks of that car. All GM interiors and exteriors are at the bottom of the heap, with...

    Interior and Exterior Color Choices

    I'd rather do a poll, but I don't see a 'Poles' feature on this board. I ordered a '05 GT in Legend Lime and Medium Parchment, but I'm not satisfied with it. I don't think the Medium Parchment will go with the brushed aluminium applique. Also, I think Medium Parchment looks a little too like...
