    Help! Talk me into keeping the Mustang

    True, but it's also coming with the 263 horse 3.5 Mate that with the CVT and it should pull SHO-like times. Have you seen the site www.bringbackthesho.com ? I was a die hard SHO fanatic back then too. I loved my car and still miss it to this day. Probably miss it more than any of my old...

    Help! Talk me into keeping the Mustang

    That a '98 or '99 Vibrant White GenIII SHO I spy? Looks like you've taken great care of it. I had the elusive and ultra-rare '96 Rose Mist.....That it until a tree and a ravine took it away from me. Thanks Kevin, I appreciate the kind words!

    Help! Talk me into keeping the Mustang

    Thanks guys.... Yes, that little part of me fought kicking and scratching to keep the car, and in some ways there no comparison to a Mustang, which probably explains why I've owned 6 of them over the years. I'll definitely be back in one some day. Probably sooner than later, this IS more than...

    Help! Talk me into keeping the Mustang

    The Mazda 6 is built right along side the Fusion. The Mazdaspeed 6 isn't, however. It's built in Japan. Well guys, thanks for all the advice, but I went with what I felt was right to me and I said goodbye to the Mustang tonight. Sad, but I'll have another one someday, and I'll probably go for...

    Help! Talk me into keeping the Mustang

    Some answers to some questions... I can't get out of the SVTF because we're too flipped in it right now. Besides, I actually love that little thing. I'm less than a grand flipped in the Mustang. Now, my current situation calls for me having to drive a lot for work. That may change one day...

    Help! Talk me into keeping the Mustang

    You do know that Ford controls 35% of Mazda and considers Mazda to be a part of the Ford family, right? The Fusion is a re-bodied Mazda 6..... Now if the Fusion came with 270+ all-wheel driven turbocharged horsepower I'd be in one too.... ;) But for now I guess I'll have to settle for...

    Help! Talk me into keeping the Mustang

    It isn't so much the hassle of having a car seat in the back for MY sake, its my wife's, whom already has a real back problem, and she would probably spend most of the time with the newer car or the SVTF, which leaves me to driving the Mustang 160 miles a day and then having to rely on that...

    Sequential Turn Signals

    Yes, it is true that in some states altering the turn signals could lend you at fault but like anything in this great legal system of ours, the burden of proof would be on them. Any jury with a halfway decent mind would toss that arguement right out on its ass....These lights come on just as...

    Whats in Mustangs Future

    And you think right out the box these two other cars are going to go for only 4K over? Now THAT's funny...The dealers are doing to milk this for all its worth, though that's assuming these cars really can deliver....

    Is this the 2008 Bullitt Mustang?

    The rims are the 18" ones painted in the center. exhaust tips look bigger than stock. tape on emblem is NOT normal PDI tape, it looks like black electrical or almost duct-style tape to me. everything else looks pretty normal.

    Post Pics of Your Mustang

    Went on a little cruise today with some of my Focus buddies but left the SVTF at home and took the pony instead..... I recently liberated a set of 18's from my brother's old '05 and I wanted to see how they'd handle the Texas backroads.....I'm pretty happy with them! (Click pic to open)

    PypesOR H-Pipe

    You had a shop cut/weld them in? MY problem is the LMs and the stingers are too quiet for me but the O/R pipe is too loud.... lol

    PypesOR H-Pipe

    I'm wondering what this combo would sound like using Borla Stingers. I just recently got a set and I used to run the same O/R H with SLP LMs and it was just too loud. I swapped the stock pipe back on and mounted the stingers, which are quieter than the loudmouths and deeper. I'm hoping they're...

    Custom tunes and altitudes

    91 is the highest in Colorado, in New Mexico it only goes to 90. Its cool though, I've decided to take a truck with me instead and let the pony rest. I just remember reading something somewhere about custom tunes and Denver's high altitude....

    Custom tunes and altitudes

    Does anyone know if I were to take my car from San Antonio ( about 0-800 feet above sea level ) to Denver ( 5280 feet above sea level ) will I have any problems with my car being custom tuned? I have to use 93 octane, and that will cease around the time I get into New Mexico and Colorado, so...

    programmer question

    I have the Diablo with an automatic and I've been pretty happy with Bamachips' tune, though I haven't yet had the chance to track-test it. One thing that will happen, when rolling about 60 or so, I can floor it and the car will take off nicely but when it upshifts around 83-85, it will actually...

    Cold Air Brake Ducts or How to keep the Brakes Alive for Open Track Events

    Looks great... I love some of the stuff they carry ( those ram air headlight deletes are simply bad ass ) but the stuff is really costly.... Still...gonna have to keep some of this stuff in mind....
