    Sold my Mach and ordered a....

    Congrats on your choice! Personally, the Shelby GT is my favorite of the S197 Mustangs (so far.) I just like the idea of a factory built (or in this case factory outsourced) special edition with a few tasteful and effective mods. It's not overweight and un-affordable like the GT500. It's...

    Shelby GT prices

    I think the Shelby GT is WAY overpriced. If the performance parts list for $2000, what is Ford's cost? Maybe half that? Add the various other cosmetics plus labour and I still only see this as a $3500 pkg. Admittedly, there's tangible and historic value in "assembled by Shelby" but to me...

    Found a Cobra on Autotrader

    I could be wrong but I believe all 4.6 Cobra's had the regular Mustang trunklid with the integrated brake light. Only the 94-95's had the third brake light in that distinctive spoiler. (I came close to purchasing a new Cobra in '97 and the ones on the lot all had factory spoiler delete with...

    NASCAR Experience

    Great write up! It brings back memories of when I attended the 1990 Daytona 500. Even though I was a young lad of 14 at the time, I had a blast. A lucky bonus that year was Tom Cruise doing laps in the Mellow Yellow Lumina, while being followed by a camera crew in a helicopter (filming for...

    new pics—back in black

    I tend to be mostly an observer on this (and all) forums. I've read many posts here asking for opinions and advice on style and appearance but have never felt the need to reply. Although you didn't ask for opinions, this time I must speak... That is quite possibly the best looking new stang...

    would this car be ok to buy??....

    Run away now, don't touch that wreck. There are just some things that cannot be repaired and flood damage is one of them. The only way to fix this properly would be a complete ground up restoration...and if that had been done they wouldn't be selling the car for $19K. I would go so far as to...

    New Accessories for 07

    +1 I had an aftermarket remote start on my Integra GS-R 5 speed that worked great. The model I had wasn't as sophisticated as the ones mentioned above. This one had a sequence that had to be followed in order to "arm" the system and prevent mishaps. Leave the engine running in neutral, set...

    Ford says no way...

    Isn't the current Mustang chassis derived from the Lincoln LS chassis? There should be no problems building a stretched 4 door/ wagon version. With any luck, larger production numbers will re-open the door to IRS as well.

    Next Gen Stang to include 4 doors/wagon variants?

    +1 The Mustang name is iconic BECAUSE the car has stayed (relatively) true to it's original mission for over 40 years. Lending the name to sedan and wagon variants would be disastrous and inexcusible. Use variations of the powertrain and chassis by all means, even advertise it as having...

    To Mustang or to Not Mustang...

    Congrats on your choice! Judging by your comments, you'll be happiest with the Stang. Like you said, there is only 4-5 days a year that the roads are really that bad. Sacrificing the other 360 days a year isn't worth it! As for my opinion on winter driving...not directed at any one in...

    What are bolt-ons...

    The 300 HP advertised by Ford is measured at the crank, it doesn't include losses that occur in the drivetrain (transmission, rear diff.) There is typically a 10-15% loss in power from the engine crank to the rear wheels. So if your increasing from 260ish to 300ish rear wheel HP, it's...

    Just rented Shelby GT350H

    This may have already been mentioned but... Have you seen this months Car & Driver? It has a full page story on someone who rented a Hertz Shelby and took it to a Syracuse car show. Not only did he win best in class over two '66 Hertz Shelby's but he also won best in show! Unfortunatly he...

    Going to buy a damaged '01 GT!

    I appologize for being a negative voice here but... I think it's great that you want to get yourself a Mustang, I am just going to play Devil's advocate for you. Buying an accidented car is something you should investigate to the max. IMO if the car is selling somewhere in a recking yard, it...

    Saw '05 Mustang on the road today... my thoughts!

    I just wanted to say thanks, it's rare to find a thread on an internet forum where people disagree so strongly yet still have a relatively inteligent conversation. Now for those famous words... "IMO"!!!! the '05 is pretty much a knockout. The exterior recalls the past without being retro...
