    Mustang "Sport"

    Just FYI - Nissan 300Z's were available as both a 2 seater and a 2+2 with 4 seats. But I think a 2 seater Mustang is against its muscle car heritage. And also, I think to make it look 'right' and to realize any real advantages, it would have to be modified to the point where it would almost...

    Battery gauge is real, but the "oil pressure" gauge is an idiot gauge. If there is 'sufficient' pressure, it's at one spot in the middle. If pressure drops below the safe point, the gauge drops to zero. there are no other positions for the needle -- either its 'good' or 'none'. But the...

    flowmaster american thunder major cabin drone!

    I agree... I just installed the Flowmaster American Thunder axle-backs (stock x-pipe and stock cats), and I think it sounds great! I was a little worried that they might be too loud for my long everyday work commute, but they are fine -- sometimes just a little louder/deeper than stock, and...

    Strut tower brace

    Drifting is all about sliding -- I wouldn't think a sliding car would generate a lot of chassis loading, would it ??

    Heat Deterant/Shield!!!

    be careful... I don't know where exactly you are planning on cutting through, but the rockers are a major structural element in a unibody car. Cutting through them might significantly weaken the structure. Also, I don't know if it's a consideration for you, but such a major body mod might...

    Iup

    When you order IUP on a factory order, you don't get both the regular parts *and* the upgrade parts in your car. All Ford has to do is cover the cost DIFFERENCE between the standard and the upgraded parts. When you order it from the parts department, you end up with the new parts AND the...

    Strut tower brace

    I agree that two bolts of that size are enough, especially given the location. However, I think you could feel a benefit from a properly-constructed brace. The S197's strut towers are far enough away from the firewall that some added stiffness there would be a good thing. It would be...

    What's the latest info/rumors on "in between" SE?

    Ahh... thanks for the clarification. I agree... I don't think we'll see something like that until 2008 -- not needed in 2005/2006, the GT500 will take the stage in 2007, so in 2008 the Mustang might need an attention-getter... My guesses: GT350 - 335HP 4.6L 3V (intake, exhaust...

    What's the latest info/rumors on "in between" SE?

    For those of us just tuning in.... In between WHAT???

    Whipple Sc Kit Is Here

    Good to have options. Too bad they went with the standard "5 grand" pricing, just like the Saleen. (coincidence???)

    Possible to flash turn signal w/ keyless entry?

    I've been wondering the same thing... it seems most cars with keyless entry flash the lights once on lock and twice on unlock. I miss that... Maybe there's a market for an electronic 'upgrade' module... plug it in, and you get the nice features that Ford 'forgot'... lock/unlock flashing...

    Any chance of a mustang GTS or LX?

    Seems unlikely. Especially since power windows, locks, etc are all standard even on the base Mustang, it would cost Ford MORE to remove them. Since all those features are on the base model, Ford would have to tool up special manual window door panels, manual window crank mechanisms, etc, and...

    17.89 Quarter Mile

    I don't think the AC will make much of a difference, and certainly not a big one -- the simple fact is that the AC compressor is automatically disengaged when the throttle is wide open, regardless of the AC setting in the cabin. So the A/C compressor would only kick in for the split second...

    What's up with predator and O2 sensors?

    I have to assume you are talking only about the downstream (post-cat) sensors and not ALL the O2sensors. You don't want to turn off the upstream side O2 sensors (but you probably already know that...) I also had heard that the downstream O2 sensors could be turned off in the Predator. Is...

    Head rests

    Here's another vote for "perfect design" 05 Mustang headrest. I'm 6 foot, and in my normal, upright seating position, the headrest is about 1-2 inches away from the back of my head. Perfect. Much better than the old SN95 seats where the headrest was a useless, whiplash-assisting 6 inches away.

    Mustang sales for April - WOW!

    how many GT's? I wonder how many of those 13,000 Mustangs are GT's... probably less than 200 if the dealerships I visited are any indication!

    Vapor Trap Yes/NO?????

    K&N is probably just covering their a$$. They probably had to say that to get the 'OK' as a part that is 'emissions approved'.
