    Exhaust--Whatcha gonna do?

    I'm going to punch holes in the floorboards just behind the front seats and run the exhaust pipes into the back seat. That way I'll be able to hear my exhaust and I can role up the windows so I don't have to share it with anyone else. Ha!

    If you really like them, you will probably be happier if you are the only person who has them. Painted looks good but vinyl stickers will peel off if you change your mind.

    US Regulations makes the rear bigger?

    Personally, I find trapezoids and dodecahedrons quite offensive.

    US Regulations makes the rear bigger?

    Actually it is worse than that. When the bumper on your 60s Mustang buckles it will smash right into the rest of the car resulting in serious body damage. I was rear ended pretty hard by a moron a few months ago in my 96 GT. All that happened to the car was that the bumper was scratched and I...

    If the Shelby Cobra comes out, will it hold back the performance of the SVT Cobra

    All of the horsepower makes me happy regardless of where is comes from. :)

    Hardcore performance parts in the works???

    One thing people tend to forget when comparing the Mustang GT to other V8 motors is that the Mustang runs great on 87. That makes the car economical for most people and leaves untapped potential for enthusiast.

    True but it sure would look cool.

    The Complaint Department

    Yup. People really hated the 94 when it came out. People tend to like the car they fell in love with. The 79-93 5.0 guys really hated the SN95s at first. In general people are a lot more excited about this Mustang than any since the original came out.

    If the Shelby Cobra comes out, will it hold back the performance of the SVT Cobra

    Yeah. That is what I was thinking of. An M3 Coupe starts at $47K so I would not mind that kind of performance if I could get it for a lot less. Hell, at the mid $20s the Mustang is almost as powerful.

    If the Shelby Cobra comes out, will it hold back the performance of the SVT Cobra

    I kind of doubt that. Every indication is that Carroll is more of a marketing figure now. Am I the only one who remembers the scam he was trying to run a few years ago by making new Cobras and claiming they were real originals becuase they were made out of parts from the 60s? Carroll did some...

    Is there a Car Magazine Shortage?

    At work people who don't know much about cars are even talking about the new Mustang. That says a lot.

    IRS poll

    A friend in management at Ford told me that they dropped the IRS purely to save money after they were near completion on designing the IRS. The decision was made by a senior person at Ford (I can't remember his name.) Because of the change Ford spent more money than they were supposed to save...

    05' mustang Rear spoiler POLL

    Putting a spoiler on most cars is like putting lipstick on a pig. The 2005 aint no pig so it don't need no spoiler. Oink oink!

    Sequential Tail lights

    Sequential taillights seem cool if you are the only person who has them. The second everyone has them the look kind of silly and there is nothing special about them. I would rather have LED taillights even though they cost significantly more.

    2005 questions

    Did anyone catch on to the fact that I was just making a joke in both of the posts? I mean seriously, you can’t guess what insurance will be for a person you don’t know anything about. You can’t estimate car payments without knowing how big the down payment will be and how long the loan will...

    any official JOB 1 dates??

    Thanks Golions! Are the Mazda 6 & Mustang going to built on the same line or do they have two separate lines at Flat Rock? I toured the Wixom plant a couple of years ago and I was amazed to see the LS, Continental & Towncar all on the same line. Once again, keep up the good work!

    any official JOB 1 dates??

    Is the Flat Rock plant still run by Mazda or has mainstream Ford taken it over? Just curious. Keep up the good work!

    2005 Saleen & Questions

    I'm sure there will be one. Saleen is a small business compared to Ford so I'm sure they can not afford to miss a year of sales like SVT can. As far as the changes are concerned, I would expect significant handling improvements and all of the body part changes they do today. I would expect it...
