    Why I'll wait for the SVT Mustang

    On the flip side, Ford has (or had) a chance to expand the market for the Mustang with the 05. As it stands now, I think Ford is relying too heavily on the Mustang's name and the hardcore Mustanger and not even bothering to expand it beyond that. That may lead to the Mustang hovering around the...

    The Complaint Department

    There are those of us who feel the price issue is a fallacy and a trumped up argument. And no..I won't stfu. That's the point of this thread, to complain about things on the 05 we don't like. And no..I won't go buy an Eclipse. I'll just keep enjoying my 2000 GT and my 66 Fastback until...

    2006 Boss 302 Mustang?

    Hey...Ford is trying to sell a Cobra with a fancy paint job for 41K...who knows what they'll try to do with a special edition.

    Why I'll wait for the SVT Mustang

    It depends on how the damper's and springs are set. Look at a BMW 3 Series, it uses IRS, but nobody would ever compare it floating in air. Of course an Explorer is going to feel like it floats on air, that's what it was designed for and given the market for it, the ride and the handling justify...

    Why I'll wait for the SVT Mustang

    Here's a drawing of the Cobra IRS Courtesy of Stangnet And here's the Explorer's Courtesy of Edmunds You can see the Explorer's is connected directly to the frame, whereas the Cobra's uses a cradle. You can also see that the Explorer uses coil overs. and the angle of the...

    Why I'll wait for the SVT Mustang

    No...the IRS in the Explorer is a totally different system. Being an engineer...I was fascinated by it, so I crawled around underneath my girlfriend's 2002 Explorer when she got it. I compared it to the Cobra and it's totally different (even though it uses the same 8.8 carrier), but the lay out...

    US Regulations makes the rear bigger?

    Fine...whatever. Just try to keep the discussion to Mustangs and avoid the political interjections. We're going to get enough of that in an election year. And yes..God Bless America....where choice is still valued, democracy reins supreme, and everybody has opinion.

    Ugh... Makes me sick.

    I've already got an out. My buddy go with our significant others (his wife and my girlfriend) to the race evry year. Well...he's commercial pilot, and because he travels so often, het gets to stay in a lot of hotels on the company dime. But he gets the points from the various hotel clubs, so he...

    US Regulations makes the rear bigger?

    Does everything you say have to be some xenophobic, McCarthyistic drabble that would make Dale Dribble from King of the Hill look intelligent? Like it or not....those are our (American) bumper laws...like it or lump it. Fer chrissakes....go back to the militia will ya.

    Ugh... Makes me sick.

    Oh yeah...bought the tickets as soons as it came back on the schedule. Heck...I just got a letter from the hotel I reserved telling me they're rasing my reservation another 200 dollars, and that they'll charge my credit unless I cancell by April 10th (usually you can cancel the day of your arrival).

    Ugh... Makes me sick.

    Oh...lemme tell you...the Canadian GP at Montreal is THE happening of the racing season. It's a four day party. No..it's EA's Formula 1 Challenge. It simulates the 1999 through 2002 season. Check out the site. EA Sports Formula 1 Challenge 99-02

    Why I'll wait for the SVT Mustang

    Nobody really knows how much the IRS would add to the cost of the car. It's all speculation. All we can do is make educated, if albeit speculative, guesses as to what the costs will be. We do know that according to Ford, it only costs $300 to engineer the IRS for the Mustang. To say it will...

    US Regulations makes the rear bigger?

    Yeah, the U.S. has minimum height standards for bumpers, along with minimum speed standards.

    Why I'll wait for the SVT Mustang

    Depends on your taste. It's not like I'm going to go bombing down Main Street U.S.A, do a handbrake U-Turn in front of the Police Station and fishtail into the Wal-Mart parking lot. I think most of us are responsible enough to know when to push the car and when not to. But there's a rush and...

    Ugh... Makes me sick.

    I thought I read the new Williams has the twin keel. Interestingly...Sauber abandoned the twin keel set-up...even though they came up with. I go to Montreal every year for the Canadian GP, have gone for the last 5 years. Here's a pic I took at last year's race.. You've got to...

    Ugh... Makes me sick.

    A fellow F-1 fan huh? Not too many Mustangers I know of that enjoy F-1. Then you'll appreciate that the new Mustang has fly-by-wire throttle like the F-1 cars. P.S. what do you think of the new Williams FW26?

    Ugh... Makes me sick.

    I got the same thing too. I went to Gervais Ford here in MA and they said if I get put a deposit down, they can pretty much gurantee I'll get the first GT in Massachusetts. They said that since they're one of the biggest Mustang dealers in MA, the usually get the first allotment of the line...
